Success Is The Best Revenge
Success Is The Best Revenge
Until you embark on a journey you will arrive at no destination,any road without a road block doesn't
lead to anywhere important in the future. Don't pray for easy road to success because you are not going
to get either,but pray for strength equals your obstacles in life,a man can fail many times but he is not a
failure not until he begins to blame somebody else foe being responsible for his failure,when you are on
the right track leading to success you can afford to keep moving if you want to it's your choice the road
to glory is not usually straight all the time it's filled with ups and down,life itself is hard,you make it
harder when you impose irrelevant things on yourself that are necessary. Life is a battle field if you are
not ready to move forward in life those who will move you backwards are right there beside you,an idle
mind is the devil's workshop,you can't move forward in life by staying idle.
Life is full of an impediment an enemy will trample you down on your way to the top wanting to pull
you down the ladder of success,you have to be strong and fight your way back to the top,it's only those
with feeble minds that pays attention to those calling them unfavourable names quitter are loser.
Nobody or failure is strong enough a reason to stop you from succeeding. It is your responsibility to
determine your future.
The decision to succeed or to fail is your own choice,you have the power to either embrace success
or failure,the choice is absolutely yours,you have the potential for greatness inside of you that treasure
is too great to be neglected,but you can't be great if you don't poses what it takes to be great. Every
great man the world produced are people that were able to discover their un-exposed ability and
develop it to benefits themselves and mankind until you genuinely develop an all consuming passion
for success you can never be successful.
Tough time never last but though people do,you get exactly what you expect,stop seeing setbacks
and defeat,stop focusing too long on your past failure and problem,the past is not your future
concentrate on your today and tomorrow will take care of itself understand that the road to your goal is
not always smooth,even though you visualise the possibilities of getting to your goal,there are still
hurdles you will need to overcome and barriers to conquer with an intent inner drives and capacities
without it your success is not certain.
The road to success has a way of giving you whatever is demanded of it,if you are frightened and
look for failure and setback you will get them no matter how hard you may try to succeed. Expect
success and you will be victorious no where is this true than on your way to success main-while
bravery and faith bring both material and spiritual rewards. No man can make your journey better
except you have made up your mind to be better. Your success in life starts from you,you are your own
best motivator life will only bring to you what is demanded of it,but it's your choice to accept of
decline what it brings. Success in life goes to the person who has the courage to dream,the ability to
organise and the strength to execute. The ladder of success doesn't care who climb it,seize life before
life seize you,even if you are on the right track to success,you will get run over if you just sit there,don't
waste your life for more penny,you need to be prepared to commit the courage and discipline necessary
to make your success come true,commit yourself to something great and wonderful something bigger
than you.
Don't allow the failure you are passing through stop you from where you are going to,if you don't
pass through failure in life,you can't be anything no one has ever travelled the road of success without
crossing the street of failure,when you are down on your back,if you look up you can get up. It's wise to
keep in mind that no success or failure is necessary final. When one door of success or failure closes
another door opens but you often dew so long at the closed door that you don't realize that another door
has been open for you.
Real success is more of a habit than a goal,more of an attitudes than an attainment,it is the
companion of cheerfulness not the creation of circumstances success is what overtake you when you
forget yourself,when you learn to open your eyes in optimism and close the door in the face of
defeat,you win happiness when you lose yourself in the service to others. The most successful people
don't necessarily have the best of everything,very little is needed to make you successful,it's all within
yourself it lies in your way of thinking.
The great trouble with many of us is that we don't believe in ourselves,a man should do his work so
perfect that the unborn,the dead and the living could do it no better,always remember what you are
good at and stick with it,just remember that anything worth doing at all is worth doing well. The
toughest thing about success is that you have got to keep on being a success,your talent is only a
starting point,your success is really up to you,it doesn't matter what others might think about you,it
doesn't matter where you come from,your colour,your background,your looks are not barriers. It doesn't
even matter what you might have believed about yourself at a previous time in your life,it's about what
lies within you and whether you can bring it out.
The circumstances that surrounds a man's life are not as important to how that man respond to those
circumstances,his response is the ultimate factor that determine his success or failure. The highest
reward for a man's response is not what he gets for it but what he becomes by it. What lies behind a
man and what lies before a man are tiny matter to be compared to what lies within him. Always bear in
mind that your own resolution to succeed in life is more important than any other thing this depends on
your ability to convert ideas into things that is the secret of success and the ability to conceive what you
want to achieve in your mind. If you want to see or have an assurance of success before you take a step
you will definitely end up a failure.
Successful people knows that each victory buys an admission ticket to a more challenging
opportunity to achieve success in life. Divide your distractions subtract your excuses and add up your
actions. Develop success from failure,discouragement and failure are two of the surest stepping stone to
success. You don't fail in life because you are not educated,you simply failed because you don't know
what you want to achieve from life. If you are not failing every now and then it a sign that you are not
doing anything very innovative,usually people don't fail but just that,they gave up easily. The first law
of success is concentration to band all your energies to one point to go directly to that point looking
neither to the right nor to the left make a decision to be successful now because most people never
decide to be successful and that is why they are still a failure,your decision determines how successful
you will become in life.
AN AGREEMENT
Either you succeed or fail in whatever you are doing there most first be an agreement,there would
not be any success in your life if you don't agree with those things that are not working well in your life
for two can't walk together if they don't agree. The most important single ingredients in the formula of
success is an agreement,try not to be a man of success alone but a man of value also,success is going
from failure to failure without losing your value. It consist of getting up just one more time whenever
you fall it usefulness consists in the ability to stick to one thing until it get there.
Success is no made for the masses but for the selected few who diligently combine an endless flow
of patterns into one productive process that accomplishes successful result yet whose composition is
ever changing and whose wishes to fulfil his mission in the world such an individual must be a man of
one idea that is of one great over-mastering purpose overshadowing all his aims guiding and
controlling his entire life. Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of
experience,they look within themselves and find nothing,therefore they concluded that there is nothing
outside themselves either.
The range of a ladder was never meant to rest upon but only to support your weight long enough so
you can reach for something higher. It therefore seems quite proper to fear achievement which after all
is a proof that you have successfully moved an experience from the delightfully anticipated future into
the forever and agreed success. The difference between a successful man and others is not a lack of
strength or lack of knowledge but rather lack of an agreement. Never give up on your agreement,never
allow anyone talk you out of a will that is important to you. It's not your lack of ability that keeps from
succeeding but your lack of will to dare the unknown our greatest weakness lies in giving up on our
will the most certain way to succeed always is to try one more time.
Never give up on your agreement just because of the time it will take you to accomplish it. The time
will pass anyhow,if you do not take the time you have now to plant the seed of success you have on you
today how will you have a true with success to benefits from tomorrow. You might need to develop
yourself by acquiring more skills so you can be qualified for a successful journey that pays more,you
might also need to take more risk in your development as well,make sure you are well develop because
you will need a substantial amount of potentials for you to be able to succeed.
Chapter 2
THE PROVE OF SUCCESS
Your success in life doesn't lies in achieving what you aim at but in aiming at what you ought to
achieve,rate the path higher than the prize,do the very best you can and leave the rest to God to decide
for you. When you were nobody people think negative of you but now you are successful it's time to
prove it to the world that you are not born a failure. It's now that's the right time for you to prove
yourself,dare to be who you are and accept with good grace what you are not. You don't tell the world
what you capable of doing because the world is not even interested in you telling them what you can
do,the world need a prove. Your world is earnestly waiting for the manifestation of your gift. Your
success will be measured by you willingness to keep on trying and the prize of successfully trying on
one's duty is the opportunity to do another,most of the critical things in life which becomes the starting
points of human destiny are little things,do little things today and big things will come to you asking to
be done,your best way to give your best a chance is to rise up whenever you are knocked down,giving
up is the ultimate tragedy.
Always bear it in mind that your resolution to succeed in life is more important than any other
things,this will depend on your own ability to convert ideas into things that are the secret of success
and the ability to conceive what you want to achieve in your mind. If you want to see or have an
assurance of success before you take any action you are definitely plotting your failure. If you don't fail
yesterday you may not know how to manage your success today,your failure yesterday is a success
today if only you can learn from it. Make a resolution to succeed today because most people never
decide to be successful and that's why they died poor,your resolution determines how successful you
will become in life.
Nothing great will ever be achieve without great men with great ideas and potential who are great if
only they are determine to be great. When you find out what great people did in any area of life and
you do the same thing over and over again,you will eventually get the same result they get if only you
can believe in yourself you will be amazed at the result you will get. The most successful people in life
are generally those who have the right information you must not forget that the purpose of education is
to develop your mind so that you can acquire the right information to become successful in life,one of
the important aspect of success is to do what great people did to achieve great things in life your
greatest glory consist not in never falling but in getting up every time you fall. Your success is the
accomplishment of that which most people think it can't be done,your success doesn't consist in never
making mistakes but in never repeating a mistake it's never a mistake to make a mistakes but a bigger
mistakes to repeat a mistakes. A failure is the man who has make several blunders but it not able to
cash in on the experience,the prove of success is for a man to be ready for opportunity in his life
whenever it comes.
If you want to succeed you should strike out on new paths of accepted success,just don't give up
trying to do what you really want to do,success is not the key to happiness rather happiness is the prove
of success if you don't give up on what you are doing you will succeed. Success seems to be largely a
matter of hanging on after others have let go persistent people begins their success where others ends in
failure many of life's failure are people that don't realize how close,they were to success when they
gave up,many a man has finally succeeded only because he has failed after repeated effort if he had
never met defeat he would never had known any great victory. To be victorious,means that you may
have to step out of line and move to the sound of your drummer,you succeed when you realize that
your failure are preparation for your success. There is only one secret of success it lies in the ability to
get the other person's points of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own
points of view. In-order to succeed,your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
You will never achieve real success unless you like what you are doing. To be successful,you must
accept with all the challenges that comes your way,you don't just accept the ones you like,for life's
challenges are not meant to paralyse your they are meant to help you achieve success. Most successful
men have not achieved their distinctions by having new talents or opportunity presented to them,they
have developed the opportunity that was at hand,the surest way no to fail is to have the determination
to succeed. The person who is interested in success have to learn to view failure as a healthy inevitable
parts of the process of getting to the top. To get to the top,you need to find something to hold
unto,something to motivate and inspire you to greatness. The most successful people in the world are
those whose success is the result of steady acceleration,it's the man who carefully advances step by step
with his mind becoming wider and wider and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation
persevering in what he knows to be practical and concentrating his thought upon it,when is bound to
succeed in the greatest degree.
ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITIES
When you accept your responsibilities you admit you are the one responsible for the choice you
make not others or events are responsible for the way you think,feel and act. It is your life and you are
in charge of it,you are free to enjoy it or disdain it. No you are not responsible for all that happens to
you but you are responsible for how you think,feel and act when they happen. It will interest you to
know that responsibility only come to those who are responsible why did God make you so flat footed?
Some would argue it is to allow you to dodge or run away from your responsibility,why should anyone
want to do that? Well many people associated responsibility with duties and obligation,which in turn
are thought of as burdens. But personal responsibility is not a burden it's a blessing this becomes clear
when you understand that personal responsibility is nothing other than the freedom to create your own
success. Yes responsibility is associated with freedom and power once you awake to this fact you
become motivated and empowered once you become aware of this truth you should develop yourself
mentally,physically and spiritually to gain the power to transform your success.
Great trials are often necessary to prepare you for great responsibilities,the longer you dwell on
your misfortunes,the greater is their power to control you. No diamond or gem has ever been polished
without friction,it's the irritation in the oyster that produces the pearl. The problems or the setbacks you
have in life are all required for your development,the best way to better what you personally can be is
to do what you personally can do better. Be the best you personally can be,why not? You can be the
best you personally can be,there's everything to gain,class up your act and get your mind under
control,carry yourself like the achievers you really are,there is a responsibility place on you that you
must accept in-order to receive a vision from God and to realize it. The blessing of God for humanity
comes with some set of responsibility until these responsibilities are met God is not committed to
bringing it into reality. Why do you reget the role of creativity,flexibility and resilience in-order to pay
the role of victim? Why do you choose to be weak when you can be strong? When you can stay
steadfast,however if you are not totally satisfied what are you doing about it? Why do you continue to
do the same thing everytime and yet you expect a direct result,there is no two ways about it nothing
will change until you are angry enough to place the change.
If there is any need for a change in your life? Why don't you begin by recognising that your present
situations are not the result of your gene,parents,job or environment,rather it's the choice you have
made that have brought where you are today. Change your choice,actions and you will need to change
also the result that follow as well. This understanding is the first step in personal transformation the
second step are the actions that follow for action spring not from thought but from a readiness for
responsibility. You need to examine yourself to learn the extend that you are either taking responsibility
or you are evading it. Have you ever felt this way before? Life is unfair cruel or ,I'm so unlucky no one
is coming to my rescue or offer to render me any assistance,no one wants to help me or care about
me,it's not your fault that you are the way you are,you don't need to start blaming God for not making
faster than your shadow. Life is an endless struggle,there are too many burdens to bear,terrible things
sometimes happen to people around the world,political situation health and whether conditions,all of
these makes you depressed,angry and frustrated,you felt overwhelm and helpless some people get all
the break and rest you just are just unfortunate,you are sick and tired of all of those things happening
for there is nothing you can do about that's what life was design for,life was not mere created for just
comfort alone if you get all the comfort you require in life there your life has no meaning. The future
belongs to those who believes in the beauty of their dream.
It's easily to shift blames on others or events,but what good is that to you,all it does is to keep you
in a rest,you can't make any real forward progress until you admit to yourself you are responsible for
whatever your life turns out to be,only you can hold yourself back from succeeding,only you can stand
on your way,only you can help yourself,only you can transform your life from failure and setbacks to a
reasonable success. You can't enter into the mind of others so you are not responsible for their
failure,not everyone is as ready as you to change themselves everyone wants to change the world little
do they know that to change the world you have to first change yourself. A man may not be responsible
for his actions in an hour of tribulations and pains on the other hand,if you are racked with pain,saddled
with poverty and deprived of others blessings don't use your burden as an excuse for your failure,life
itself has enough problem do add to it by an endlessly complaining. Rather look for the good in
everything that happen to you,appreciate and take responsibility by making the most of what you have.
Happiness is a choice just as sadness is,you have all it takes make yourself happy. Life is filled with
responsibility and challenges mountain to climb and conquer with others to follow,when you are no
longer interested in climbing mountain to see other mountains to climb life is over.
3. YOUR FRIENDS
You don't need many friends,you only need helpful friends,when everybody is your friend you are a
fool. Avoid negative people at all cost,they are the great destroyer of self confidence and self esteem get
yourself around the right people associate with positive goal oriented people who encourage and inspire
you. Life is an examination,the reason why most people fail in life is because they try to copy others
not knowing that everyone have their own question paper. Never wish to be anybody but yourself,there
is only one you,no matter how hard you work or how careful you live your life,someone will still be
disappointed in you don't live your life trying to please anybody because you are the one who will be
disappointed at the end for not living you true life.
The people you associate yourself with,will determine the extend you will go in life,if you try to be
someone else you are losing everything that was special about yourself. Try to find dream builders
successful people to associate with,anybody who doesn't value what you have doesn't deserve your
friendship. Know that it's less important to have more friends and more importantly to have a real
ones,surround yourself with good people who make you better and cherish every moment and time you
spend together,some day you will be a memory to some people just do your best to a great influence.
People of similar interest are those who goes about saying nice things about you socialise with
people who understand your potential value,the ones who come in when the world has gone out,the
ones who share in your pain and passion for your goal,those who encourage you when you are about
giving up on your dream. The friends you keep determines your future,pursue and permit only those
friendship and company that increase your focus on your goal.
4. YOUR EMPLOYERS
Your employer who sack you because they think you have enough skill and talent necessary needs
the prove of your success. Never give it up on yourself you were never born a failure who says you
can't make it,you can and you will definitely make it,with God all things are possible you were created
for a purpose here on earth and he alone knows the plans he has for your life,without God life has no
purpose,without purpose life has no meaning,without meaning life has no significance. When you
understand that life is a test you realize that nothing is insignificant in your life.
The reason why many are still trouble still seeking,still making little forward progress is because
they have not yet come to the end of themselves,your employers don't sack you because you are not
educated but because you don't know what you want to achieve from life. Find out what your true value
and continuously love them and build your daily agenda around it. Whatever you vividly
imagine,sincerely believed and enthusiastically act upon must inevitably come to pass. Don't limit
yourself,so many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as your
mind can allow you,what you believe in remember you can achieve,your greatest weakness consist in
giving up and most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Establish a burning desire and find a way to get your vision seen and implemented. Always see the
big picture of what you want to achieve,these could only be possible when you have the right attitude
towards success and the right people around you to assist in transforming your mental picture to a
reality. Keep the big picture of what you want o achieve vividly before you at all times failure is what
you see when you take your eyes off your success.
The future belong to those who believes in the beauty of their dream. An act of pure imagination
created in all men a creative power in which the future belong to those who believes in the beauty of
their dream. Think big and plan accurately,set some goals,have a creative vision have a target and keep
trying until you hit it. Aim high,use motivation,have a burning desire for success budget your time and
money,never neglect team work,maintain good and sound health,love your creator and love your
neighbours.
5. YOUR WORLD
Your were created into this world for a purpose,you are not here by chance or by accident. I believe
that there is a plan for every individual's life on earth,all you need to do is to discover the purpose you
are here,don't just exist,start living your purpose keep your dream vividly before you at all times
obstacles are what you see when you take your eyes off the goal. Little deeds of kindness,little words of
encourage,helps to make the world happy like the heaven above. Even if you start small in life you
have to end big,a helping hand doesn't have to big,what matter most is just the right attitudes to help.
The shortest and surest way to live with honour in the world is to live in reality what we appear to
be. The world is divided into people who do things and people who get the credit,try if you can belong
to the first class,there's far less competitive. We are not primarily put here on earth to see through
others but to see others through. He who wishes to fulfil his mission in the world must be a man of one
idea that is of one great over-mastering purpose,overshadowing all his aims and guiding and
controlling his entire life.
Your world is not interested in you telling him what you can do,you have to prove to the world what
you can do. Behind every great ideas,there is someone saying it won't work. You will always have
everything you want in life,if you will help enough people get what they want,life is more fun when
you don't keep score with others,success really is simply a matter of doing what you can do best and
not worrying about what the other person is going to do. The world could be unthinkable,cruel and
lonely if you try to do it all by yourself. Pay more attention to the things that are working positively in
your in your life than to those that are giving you trouble.
Remember people are counting on you your ex,your family members,your friends,your teams and
your world,they are eagerly waiting for the prove of your success, gain control of your mind no one can
defeat you unless you first defeat yourself.
Chapter 3
THE UTIMATE SUCCESS
The man who put God first will find God with him right up to the last,in everything you do always
put God first and he will direct you and crown your effort with success. The ultimate success of a man
in life is to rejoice with God on the last day in His heavenly kingdom,of want use will it be for if you
succeed in the world but fail to make heaven,to make heaven should be your number one priority,the
reason why God put us here on earth was not just to come enjoy what is here alone and fail to be happy
with Him on the last day,we are here on earth to prepare yourself for heaven. In everything you do here
on earth always trust that God is on your side,it's more important to know that we are on God's side
when you have God out you will find yourself without any invisible means of support. Nothing great
has ever been achieved except by those who dare to believe that the God inside them is superior to their
circumstances. Many people believed in God but not many people believed God when He says I will
supply all your needs according to His riches in glory. One of the most incredible state in which we can
live our life is in a continual relationship with God.
Prayer prepare you for success,the kind of success the world can't give,pray like everything on God
and work like everything depends on you,the easiest way to get God's attention is to give your total
devotion to Him and if you don't pray you may become a prey for the devil. The devil's power remain
intact if you are prayer-less,when the devil keeps showing you the same photographs of yesterday's
failure,it's only an indication that he is running low of material. Surrendering yourself to God is not the
best way to live but the only way to live your life,nothing else work you are free to choose who you
surrender to but you are not free from the consequences of the choice you make. Knowing and loving
God is our greatest privilege and being known and loved is God.
The blessing of the blameless and upright do not end with this earthly life,his blessing are
eternal,his fear for God speaks for him and earns him the crown of glory. Your power as christian
should no be in the way we make noise or talk but in the light that radiates in you. Real and lasting
comfort from pain is not found by ignoring what hurts,comfort is found in knowing that even in the
depths of sorrow you are loved truly and deeply by a father who knows exactly how you feel,the soul
that is engulfed in sin and evil is in bandage and separated from the presence and glory of God. One of
the best way to be at peace is to know your source,we should not have misplaced expectations requiring
people to meet our needs that only God call fill,believe in Christ,faith includes a heartfelt personal
devotion and attachment to Jesus Christ that express itself in trust,love,gratitudes and loyalty. It is the
desire of God that you are moulded to satisfy His purpose for your life,you need to allow the holy spirit
to rule your conscience so that you will have the boldness to tell others the truth about Jesus and the
salvation he brought to the world.
If we move through the discomfort,God will work with us leading us out of our self developed
defense mechanisms into a place of victory,in this way He heals our broken heart and become our
defender in time of trials and tribulations. People often look for something which they can depend
on,that could only be find in a portion of God's word that is the answer to their problem. You must
depend completely on God and his words in all things and in all that you do talk the answer not the
problem,the answer is in God's word,you must have knowledge of the word. Commit yourself to
effective prayer by approaching the throne of God with your mouth filled with His word,God is much
more interested in listening to you than in offering of material things to Him.
CHAPTER 5
Acquire Quality Information And Knowledge
To succeed
Information is light while knowledge is powerful information is easy to get but knowledge is
harder either,you have to make yourself available now and get ready to acquire the necessary
information you need in unleashing your potential,it's not just the achievement of your goal alone but
also the achievement of God's goal to your life. God has given you all the necessary information you
needed to succeed in His words only if you fit yourself in the words He has said concerning your life.
This is not what people think you are but what you think you are. To change the outside you have to
first change the inside there are series of things that will transform the inside of you which includes
your thoughts,imagination and most especially the amount of quality information you are able to
acquire. These quality information brings transformation into your life and there is no way you can
raise beyond your level of information.
Receiving quality information from God through his words and been attentive in what He says is a
major factors to be consider in unleashing your potential. You need to trust the Lord with all your heart
and never rely on human information concerning your life or relying on what you think you know best.
Remember the lord in all you do and He will give you the quality information to succeed in life.
Quality information sharpens your sense of belonging and gives you the assurance that God is in
control. With God in charge of all the affairs of your life I don't think you can go wrong. Nothing can
be frustrating in life as the person who lacks quality information about God. Life is all about choice and
every choice you make ends up making you who you are.
If you know that you don't poses the quality information you need to succeed in life you better fire
up your knowledge now because life is not a matter of chance it's about things you want to achieve and
how to achieve them. The Holy book says "my people are doomed because they lack understanding"
they lack the real nature of God,the understanding of God and the understanding of the word of God.
Seek understanding and you will get knowledge,seek knowledge and you will get wisdom. Wisdom
knowledge and understanding are gift from God given to those who earnestly desire and pray for them
make them your friend today and you will not regret you did.
Gain Knowledge
A zest for life and an active curiosity stimulates learning,you must love knowledge and you must
love to learn,if a man emptied his purse into his head no man can take it away from him an investment
in knowledge always pays the best interest. A real knowledge is to know the extent of one's ignorance
the ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in a moment of comfort and conveniences but
where he stands at times of challenges and tribulations. Nothing great was ever achieved without
knowledge your life begins to end the day you become silent about things that matter.
Reading,observing and listening are ways of studying in the main stream of life. Each individual
must take responsibility for acquiring a certain amount of knowledge by developing communicating
skills such as reading,writing,speaking and listening. If you refused the flight of greatness,knowledge
will enhance you and keep you there,when you know little more than others you will lead them without
stress and if you are not excited about knowledge then you have made the decision to fail.
It's not what you can remember but what you can't forget,the more you know the less you show,not
until you choose knowledge as your number priority the struggle of your life will continue. The key to
good health,happiness and success is self knowledge never mistake knowledge for wisdom one help
you make a living the other helps you make a life. The only people who achieve much are those who
want knowledge so badly that they seek it. Whoever acquires knowledge but does not practice it is like
one who ploughs a field but doesn't sow in it. A practical knowledge makes an uncommon
achievement. Knowledge is the wings that takes you to your next level what you know will surely
make you known,the trouble with the world is not that people know too little but that they know so
much things that aren't so.
If you want to overcome the fear of making mistakes then you must first examine your belief
system to find out whether you have any of the following.
* You can't learn without making mistakes; Do you know how learning happen? It's a process of
continuously making mistakes and adjusting your methods until you no longer make mistakes. No
wonder people who think that mistaking is shameful have a low self esteem for they never give
themselves the chance to develop a new skill that can make them feels good about themselves.
** It's shameful to make a mistakes; When people are brought up to believe that making a mistakes
is a shameful act they lose their self confidence when they grow up because the human nature always
focus them to make mistakes. This belief is usually learned when the parents shout at the little kid or
embarrass him in public when he makes a mistakes,at this point the child starts to believe that it's too
shameful to make a mistake.
To overcome the fear of making mistakes you have to strengthen the following.

Chapter 7
OVERCOMING THE FEAR OF FAILURE
For dream often die for fear of failure and the experience of it. Failure is often the first necessary
step towards success. If you don't risk failing you will not get the chance of succeeding. Don't be afraid
to fail or waste your time in trying to cover up failure. No matter how careful you are you will
definitely fail,if you are not failing every now and then,it therefore means you are not growing. It's
better to fail in doing something than to excel in doing nothing. Mistakes and failure are two of the
surest stepping stone towards success. It's better to fail in originality than to succeed in trying to be
someone else. Successful people are not afraid to fail they go from failure to failure until they finally
arrive at success.
One of the best way to accelerate success is to double your failure rate. The person who succeed
is not the one who hold back from fear of failure but rather the one who move on in-spite of failure and
advance to act,so many have failed in their pursuit of purpose because they allow so many things that
are not relevant come in-between them and their dreams in life.
No man was ever born a failure,you can never be a failure until you admit it,many great men that
have made history today are people that believes in their ability to succeed. For you to be able to
succeed in life you must rise above failure and understand that you are not a failure you only
experience it when you look down on your ability and refuse to rise whenever people look down on
you.
There is only one thing that makes dream impossible to achieve and that is the fear of failure.
You must encounter many defeat but you must not be defeated. In fact it may be necessary to encounter
defeat in-order to understand who you are,what you can rise from and how you can still come out of it
stronger than you were before. Success is not final,failure is not fatal it's the courage to continue that
count. Every failure is a step towards success you will definitely meet failure on your way to success
it's impossible to live without failing at something,unless you live so cautiously that you might have
well not have lived at all in which you are scared of failing.
If you are doing your best you won't have anything to worry about failure. One who fear failure
limits his chances of succeeding and learning something new. There are two benefits of failure,first it
gives you the opportunity to try a new approach and secondly it gives you the opportunity to learn
something new beyond what you have already mastered.
Give your best a chance and rise up whenever you are being knocked down giving up is the
ultimate tragedy. Don't be afraid of failure or waste time in trying to cover up your failure. Often time
the first necessary step towards success is failure. If you don't risk failing you won't get the chance of
succeeding,you don't fail simply because you lack education you failed in life just because you never
give your best chance and try one more time.
Education is a progressive discovery of your own failure and ignorance,real education is to know
the extent of your ignorance,the test of education is not what a man knows but what he can't forget. To
increase your success rate you need to double your failure rate. Failure is the opportunity to begin again
this time more stronger than you were before. If you are not failing every now and then,it's a sign that
you are not doing anything innovative. The only man who never fail is the man who never do anything.
Your greatest success is not rooted in never failing but in rising every time you fail. The problem
with most people it isn't failure but how you react to failure,nobody is defeated until they start blaming
someone else instead of seeking the best solution that best suit the situation. Usually people don't fail
but just that they start blaming someone else,it's still true that when the going gets tough only the tough
keeps going. It's only those with feeble mind that pay attention to those calling them unfavourable
names quitter are losers. Nobody wants to associate with failure,success has many fathers but failure is
an orphan,stand out from the crowd and believe what God say about your destiny,it's better to failure in
doing something than to excel in doing nothing failure becomes a friend when it turns us to God.
A person may fail many times but he is not a failure until he is tired of trying. My greatest concern
now is not whether you fail or not but whether you are contented with failure. No failure will ever leave
you the way it meet you,never admit failure until you have made your last attempt,never make your last
attempt until you have succeed. Your mind is destined for success when you fail to control your mind is
failure to control your success. The reason why many people fail in life is not for lack of vision but for
lack of resolves. Failure only truly becomes failure when you don't learn from it,learn to think failure
through,don't give up if you don't get the answer today go back to it tomorrow. Discipline your mind to
the thought that anything given you to decide presuppose your ability to solve it,sufficient thought will
bring you proper solution in due time,you must make a decision that you are going to move on,it won't
happen automatically you will have to rise up don't border how difficult it will be don't allow your
disappointment get the better part of you wake up to the challenge.
Take risk if you win you be glad but if you fail you will be wise,don't be afraid of taking risks.
The greatest risk in life is to wait and depend on others for your success. Excellence can be attained if
you care more than others think is wise,risk more than others think is safe,dream more than others think
is practical and expect more than others think is possible. Failure and bouncing back are elements of
motivation,they are both learning tools. No man has ever succeeded at anything worthwhile without a
string of failure.
The line between failure and success is so fine that you are often on the line and you don't know it.
The different between a successful man and a failure is not one's better ability or ideas but the courage
that one has to be on his idea to take calculated risk and act. Only those who can risk going far can
possibly find out how far they can go. Stop waiting for things to happen go out and make things happen
yourself. We only grow by taking risk,the most difficult risk of all is to be honest with yourself and
with others. Real risk happen when people get honest about who they are and what is happening in
their lives.
Don't give up during the flat period the flat period is the hardest period of your life because you are
working hard and getting very little to show for it. Look at every question,face every fear,take every
risk examine every doubt with total honesty,then you can make some strong decision about life. Your
success is conditioned by the amount of calculated risk you are ready to take the big fish are never
caught in shallow water. You have to go into the open sea. The quality of a man's life is directly
proportional to the amount of commitment to how many risk he undertook regardless of their chosen
field of endeavours.
Failure give give you the opportunity to try a new approach most people think of failure and success
as opposite but they are actually both products of the same process,success is develop from failure. The
loser is not the guy who didn't win but the guy who didn't border to try at all,never personalise failure
but regard it as an event. Failure is the beginning of success by failing to plain,you are planning to
fail,there is no excuse for failure the truth is that if you find a path with no failure that path is probably
a path that doesn't lead to anywhere important,unless you encounter failure,you cannot succeed.
Rather than blaming people and circumstances why don't you understand the reasons behind your
failure and avoid the repetition of same mistakes over and over again. Accept you are completely
responsible for your failure in life and realize that no one is coming to the rescue is the beginning of
peak performance,until you trace the reason for your failure you will not succeed,the more you focus
on your failure the more your mentality is restricted and you never had the opportunity to get up.
Failure is not static,but the more you focus on failure,the more you become entangled prisoners of
your future,no one get the future by endangering himself with the affairs of the world. Never give
attention to failure as far as your way is right with God. Exercise faith you will succeed in what you are
doing,success is not measured by the height attained but by the obstacles you overcome in your
attainment.
Defeat is not the worst of failure not to have tried is the true failure. He that thinks he can afford to
be negligent is not too far from being a failure,things don't turn up in this world not until somebody
turn them up. A failure doesn't become a failure until you refuse to correct your mistakes,failure and
tribulations are normal to human existence,it's not something to be avoided,it helps to re-sharpen and to
redirect your life towards a better living.
You must not allow your trying period to become a stumbling block no failure ever leave you the
same way it met you it must leave behind a remarkable change,either positive or negative it all depends
on how you handle it. Most people always look for one excuse or the other to justify their failure
without realising that there is no reasonable excuse for failure the reason why you fail is because you
can't imagine yourself accomplishing that big goal you set for yourself. Wake up and picture yourself
today for greatness. Falling down doesn't make you a failure but staying down does. Failing is never
the worst things that can happen to someone but never try to succeed is worst off. It's not failing that is
the problem it's what you do after you failed,it's not what happen but how deal with it that's important.
Disappointments and misfortunes are both blessings disguise in different ways that people never
realize because of their negative mental attitudes towards failure. Defeat to many means the end of the
road leading to success,what a mistakes and misconception of an idea. So many feel lost and
frustrated,they never realize that failure is a strategy meant to re-sharpen and redefine your success in
life. There could be great benefit in an unpleasant situation.
The greatest failure in life is to wait and depend on others for their destiny. Failure and bouncing
back are elements of motivation,failure is a learning tool no one has ever succeeded at anything
worthwhile without a string of failure. Get started and never get tired of trying it's never a mistakes to
fail in life but it's a bigger mistakes for you to run away from failure,for the fact that failed doesn't
mean you have lost it all in life,it therefore means you have not succeed yet and another opportunity for
you to start again more intelligently,that's the starting point of success.
Many of life's failure are people who don't realize how close they were to success when they gave up.
Stop looking at where you have been and start looking at where you can be. For you to be able to
realize how close you are to success you must be able to understand that behind every failure there is a
success. Failure can only come to you when you look down on yourself,so stop looking down on
yourself today and start believing in yourself that you can do it the potential to overcome the fear of
failure lies directly inside you unleash your potential you will be successful.
Failure sometimes enlarges the spirit you have to fall back upon humanity there is no failure except in
no longer trying. Failure's delay is only temporarily,but it can be permanent when you stop yourself. No
one has ever travelled the road of success without crossing the street of failure. Don't allow failure
pressure mislead you,take the lead,the difficulties you encounter is simply an opportunity to do your
best one of the good thing about failure is that it's a proof that you have tried your best. The reason why
you have not succeeded yet is just that your best is not just not good enough.
The best time to know a man's character is when he focus on failure and welcome challenges for they
are products of success accept challenges so that you can feel the exhilaration of success. If you don't
rise to the challenge of your unique capacity to shape your life to seek the kind of growth that you find
individually fulfilling them,you can have no security. You will live in a world of shame in which your
life is determined by the will of other in which you will be constantly desolate and increasingly isolated
where you are exposed face to face with failure rest if you must but don't quit,champion are not those
who don't fail but those who don't quit.
The greatest failure in life is to stop trying maybe you have tried to get a job many time and it seems
not coming by,don't give up on your ability,get up brush the dust off and go again or perhaps your
business is down,stand back and review your possibility to succeed.
Failure the very thought of it is sad to people who are not successful in life,they often associate
failure with negativity and don't want to talk about it neither do they want to ear about it. But despite all
your good intentions in life you will fail. Life is like a game of football,you win some and lose some
it's not always a winning winning thing you have to fail at times to enables re-strategies yourself and
benchmark your achievement.
Success without failure is never a success,for you to achieve great success in life you must first of all
pass through the street of failure,for the fact that you have tried several attempt still you are not getting
any positive result doesn't make failure a negative. Success and failure they are both partners,they both
intercept each other. The most interesting thing about them is that you can't achieve both of them at the
same time,one have to give room for the other one to operate is either you succeed or you failure,it
therefore left for you to decide which ever one you prefer.
When it come to success we all celebrate it,talk about it or even yearn for it but when it comes to
failure we say no to it with our words but our actions shows we agree with it. If one wish for success
but prepared for failure he will get what he prepared for. Action speaks louder than words it's not
enough to say no to failure with words alone you need to take action,work on your success and address
your failure. What are the possibilities you have to succeed over the possibilities you have to fail? You
need to ask yourself the reason why you often fail,figure it out address it and master it,become familiar
with failure so it will not show up again and even when it eventually shows up it will no longer be a
barrier because you have already master it.
5. Failure Is An Inevitable End
No matter how hard you work,how careful you are you will definitely failure. There is nobody in this
world that doesn't fail everyone fail. Never see yourself as a worse failure. What you are passing
through today someone else have passed through similar failure and they are now successful,there is
nothing new under the surface of the earth all that happen to you now have happened to some other
people and they are able to scale through,if they could scale through why couldn't you.
It's not failure that's the problem the problem is that people give it easily,come to think of it you try
first times you never get the result,you try second attempt you never get the result and you gave up just
like that,this is where a lot of people get it wrong that they never want to try again,that's where the
problem lies the real thing is. It doesn't matter how many times you tried and failed,what should be
your concern is how to turn your failure to success. A lot of people have give up their dream today base
on the fact that they tried once and failed because of that they never want to continue.
The height that great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden flight but they think right
and act right,while their companion were busy sleeping at night,they were toiling up words in the
night,if you have a unique idea but don't like taking risk,ideas are all you ever have,there must be
something in your life that turns you on,you can start by analysing that lifestyle of your dream. The
starting point of all achievement is persistence even when you failed as you sometimes will. Bounce
back on your feet and try again,keep this constantly in mind,weak persistence brings weak success.
Chapter 8
Don't Quit persist
For the fact that you have tried several times and still you are not getting any positive result don't
necessary mean you need to quit. Determination focus hard-work are the attributes of those who finish
strong quitter are losers,if you don't get any positive result today,don't be discourage go back to it
tomorrow the reason why you don't get the result today therefore means the result was not design for
today so keep trying some day,some time,some how you will get the positive result you so much desire
never give up until you try you last attempt until you succeed. Some quit the race when they are about
reaching the finishing tough line, you never can tell how close you are to success when you gave up.
It's always too soon to quit,never give up,persist men don't fail it's just that they gave up easily. The
tougher the battle the greater the reward. No man can cheat you out of your ultimate success but
yourself. perhaps it is time for you to move out of your comfort zone of the egg surely breaking
through the shell is tough and life outside is going to be tougher life's excitement lies ahead great trials
are often necessary to prepare you for great responsibility the longer you dwell on your misfortunes the
greater it's ability to control your success.
No man says that the road to success is always easy despite all your good intentions in life you will
definitely fail,the man that is not the man who doesn't have a good intention or the man that doesn't
work hard but the man that quit the game very easily. Most successful men you see today have
sometimes suffered setbacks and resounding defeat even bankruptcy but yet they still manage to get up
quickly to make it big in life.
Your courage to persevere in the face of adversity and the ability to bounce back after a temporarily
disappointment will assure your success. You must learn to pick yourself up and start all over again this
time with more innovation and idea. Your persistence is the measure of the belief in yourself your
greatest glory consist not in never falling but in raising every time you fall. Keep pushing your way to
the top most people make the mistakes of giving up when they are about achieve success,they quit on
the yard line,they gave up at the last minutes of the game one foot from a finishing touchdown. Nothing
in life can take the place of persistence,talent will not nothing is more common than unsuccessful men
with talent even genius will not,un-rewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not,the world is
full of educated derelicts who does not do anything good with their education.
Once you are at the point of quitting just know that your deliverance is very close at hand. At a
point where things becomes very tough,when the unspeakable becomes speak-able,when the unseen
becomes seem,when the possible becomes impossible when the friendly becomes unfriendly,when the
love becomes unloved. At a point where it seems as if God is no longer hearing your supplication,at a
point where your closest friends will not want to see you ,where your family members will want to pick
your calls just because they see you as a burden to them. A point where your wife don't longer value
and respect your position as the head of the family where your children viewed you as a worthless
father just because you are not able to meet their immediate needs. A point where your boss at work
short at you for every little mistakes you make, a time where you are frustrated and have no one to turn
for solution,a point where everyone turn their back against you and you are left alone to face all the
challenges of life. A point where you look at life straight in the eyes and remember those incidents that
get you asking question,but I never bargain setback with life why is life treating me this way? Why is
life being too harsh and cruel to me treating me like a stranger even right there in my father's house.
Just at all of these points in life you don't quit it's too soon to quit this is the point where you need to
exert more effort don't give up your deliverance is close at hand that is if only you can advance
confidently in the direction of your dream and determine to live the life which you have imagined,you
will be sure you will meet success unexpectedly in an uncommon hour.
The prize of success is hard-work and dedication to the job at hand and the determination that
whether you win or lose,you just have to apply the best of your ability to the task at hand. Your
persistence is the measure of the belief in yourself. If you persevere nothing can come in-between you
and your success there are series of obstacles the bigger the obstacles the bigger your opportunity to
overcome it. Your decisions to persevere and do something out of the ordinary entails facing difficulties
and challenges that are out of the ordinary as well sometimes your greatest asset is simply your ability
to stay with it longer than anyone else when you get into a fight when everything goes against you till it
seems as though you couldn't hang on a minutes longer never give up this is just the place and time that
the tide will turn. If you have made a mistakes,there's always another chance for you to have a fresh
start any moment you choose to have it. What people call failure is not the falling down but in staying
down whenever you fall. Don't quit in trying to do what you really want to do where there is
persistence and faith I don't think you can go wrong.
Quitting Poem
Even when things goes wrong as they sometimes will. When the road you are trudging seems all up
hill when the funds are low and the depth are high,when you have lost everything in life and there is no
where to go but up,when there is nothing to be happy about you want to smile but just have to sign.
When the force and winds of life are pressing down on you,when people forsake and look down on
you that nothing good could come out of your own Jerusalem,when care and peer pressures are
pressing hard on you,when you are seek and tired of being seek and tired,when you are
frustrated,desolate and rejected.
Rest if you must but don't quit,life wasn't meant to be easy whatever goes around comes
around,many at times failure turns about without you realising it. When you might have won had you
are still stacked out,when you want to give up a minute before the finishing tough line. Don't quit
though the pace seems slow,success is failure turned inside out. The silver tint of the clouds of
doubts,you never can tell how close you are to success. It may be near when it seems so far so stick to
the fight when you are hardest hit. It's when things seems worst that you must not quit. Quitter are
losers,it's only those with feeble mind that pay attention to those calling them unfavourable names.
The most fascinating thing in life is that most successful people have conquered the temptation to
quit. Success seems to be connected to action successful people keep moving they make mistakes but
they don't quit. The moment you are ready to quit is usually the moment right before the miracles
happen don't quit you are not defeated when you lose you are only defeated when you quit. It's always
too soon to quit, don't give up easily just like that the tougher the job the greater the reward no man can
cheat you out of your ultimate success but yourself. Success seems to be connected to action,successful
people keep moving,they make mistakes but they never quit.
Don't Give Up
Never stop you stop as soon as something great is about to happen go for it now failure is promise to
no one. Champions are not those who don't fail but those who don't quit don't give up until you have
make your last attempt don't make your last attempt until you have succeeded. Don't give up the last
key may be the one that will open the door tough time don't last only tough people do last no matter
what you do in life you will always have critics. Victory will surely go to the one who never quits,your
ability to keep your head high when others talk you down makes you a success.
All you need to do is to take charge and raise your head high and look at the world straight in the eyes
one of the best way to give your best a chance is to rise up whenever you are being knocked down
giving up is the ultimate tragedy most successful people in life have conquered the temptation to give
up,no man can keep you down unless you decide not to rise again. Life's real failure is when you don't
realize how close you are when you gave up. The real opportunity to succeed lies within you success
will not lower it standard to you but you must raise up to the standard of success. It's always too soon
to quit,never give up men don't fail they just gave up easily the tougher the task at hand the greater the
reward. No man can cheat you out of your ultimate success but yourself.
The true test of a man's character is the ability to get up each time he falls no matter how many times
he falls. The failure and setbacks you have in life are all required for your development there is no
mistakes as great as the mistakes of not going on it's always too soon to give up. No matter what
maintain you have to climb,what burden you have to carry or what difficulty that surrounds you not
even the problem you are facing,despite all of these it is too soon to quit,never give up success consist
of getting up just one more time when you fail,it's like the postage stamp it's usefulness consist in the
ability to stick to one thing until it get there.
People always blame their circumstances for what they are,don't believe in circumstances the people
who get on in our world today are the people who get up and look for circumstances they want it badly
that even when they don't get it they make it happen themselves. Always pay attention to the things that
are working positively in your life,it's in the process of meeting and solving problem that makes life
meaningful without problem your life will be meaningless. The tendency to solve problem and the
emotional suffering inherited from it thereof is the primary basic of all human mental illness it's not the
failure that matter nobody is defeated until they quit or start blaming someone else for being
responsible for their down fall in life,don't fix the blame fix the solution to your problem.
If you make mistakes,it's all right. Everyone make mistake learn from them and go on. As said
earlier,all successful people make mistakes,but they didn't let their mistakes discourage or deter them.
It's quite simple,though no so easy to dare and be afraid to make mistakes. This has nothing to do with
finance,physical strength or education. It's all in the state of the mind,it is something inside of you that
is if you can bring it out,you need to find strength and courage within you. Learn to encourage yourself
and dare to do something great,without the need to be pushed and motivated from the outside.
Keep Climbing
Life is a struggle a continual climb,if you are ever to reach your goal. For the road to success is rough
and rugged with many stones on the way only with courage and a will power can you reach the summit
some day. The higher you climb the better the view keep right on going and never say stop,keep on
pushing your way to the top there will be many on the road of life to caution you of the danger you will
have to face suggesting you turn back to give up the goal and with them your footsteps retrace right
there is the time to show your courage and decide once and for all.
Great trials are often necessary to prepare you for great responsibility the longer you dwell in your
misfortunes the greater is it power to control you. No diamond or gem has ever been polished without
friction,it's the irritation in the oyster that produce the pearl,the problems and difficulties you have in
life are all required for your development. There is no mistakes as great as the mistakes of giving up on
yourself it's always too soon to quit. I don't know what mountain you have to climb,what problem and
difficulties you are facing,what failure and trials that surrounds you despite all these it's too soon to
give up never quit success consist of getting up just one more time when you fall. It's like the postage
stamp it usefulness consist in the ability to stick to one thing until it gets there.
The greater failure in life is for you to stop trying. Maybe you have tried to get a job many times or
you are a student you are seeking admission for years and it seems not coming through,get up brush the
dust off and try again or perhaps your business is down stand and you are not seeing a profitable
positive result review your possibilities to succeed and go back again in all of these it's always too soon
to quit never give up easily. The tougher the job the greater your reward no man can cheat you out of
your ultimate success but yourself.
God knows how to manifest grand and elaborate plans,He gives the flowers their bloom and colour
and the birds of the air their flight. He also choose people like you and I to do great things to the glory
of his name. Although the world tends to focus on high positions and accomplishments God looks at
the intent and content of our hearts while you are busy dreaming up grand ideas,God is looking for a
grateful heart,while you are longing for elaborate platforms before you can climb God is looking for a
humble heart,while you are busy dreaming success God is watching out for obedience. No matter how
little your achievement have been,they are great,do not think you have not done great things because
there are no spectators or persons ready to sing your praises as tirelessly as you do these little things do
not be sad that no one sees you God definitely does,he rewards your effort your willingness to serve
your family your church and the less privileges brings Him joy.
Chapter 9
Almost all learning comes from negative knowledge but often time we prefer to understand it in
positive knowledge,if you don't fail in any of your endeavours in life how do you learn to be better in
the future? People usually say experience is the best teacher if you agree with that to be true then you
need to accept failure as one of the many lessons you gain from experience. You have to learn from
failure simply think of failure as the transport you have to pay in the journey of life. There can be no
success without failure,you should welcome failure as an opportunity to learn something new
sometimes the fees for learning from failure may seems too high but in the long run you will some how
discover it's a worthwhile price to pay.
Never see failure as negative but an opportunity to learn something new. The adage we learn from
failure is true. Be open with your mind,eyes and ears. The lessons are there for you to understand and
do better next time. Think about what you have done right,what you can do better and what you should
stop doing,that's one of the easiest ways to analyse how to learn from failure. If you are willing to pay
the prize with the risk you take the outcome may just surprise you. Nothing ventures nothing you have
to be willing to take the risk ventures and move out beyond your comfort zone regardless of what you
are into gain some form of success.
Life is a school for those who want to learn while failure and success are both teachers,if you are not
ready to learn life will leave you behind become rich in learning and experience all other riches that
follows,life is full of challenges,stay focus and learn from it because it's only a fool that doesn't learn
from his past experience,life is a teacher the more you live the more you learn a person who stop
learning will start dying. The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you
,life's greatest tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late. You can't be the at the leading edge
if you can't learn the truth you discover about life,the lesser your mistakes in life.
1. Avoid Imitation
Imitation is limitation never wish to be anybody but yourself it's better to be hated for who you are
than to be loved for who you are not and not until you make peace with who you are,you will never
know the content of what you have within you. The world is eagerly waiting for the manifestation of
your purpose nothing in life is more frustrating than trying to live your life imitating others. No one
ever become great by imitating someone else. Don't be anybody else,make your own impression known
and dare to be who you are no one can defeat you unless you first defeat yourself,set the boundary and
the limitations for each of your individuals accomplishment.
A person who doubts himself is like a man who enlists in the ranks of his enemy and been against
himself. No man can make you better if you have not make up your mind to be better your success
starts from you. You are your own best motivator. God wants you to be who He wants you to be,learn
to define yourself to content yourself with some specific thing and some definite purpose dare to be
what you really are and to learn to accept with good grace all that you are not. Failure sometimes is part
of life many at times it leads to an excellent opportunity not all obstacles are bad,in-fact an
opportunity's favourite disguise is an obstacles turn upside down. You will always meet obstacles on
the road to your answer. The fight is good it's a proof that you still have the potential for greatness.
People are always funds of blaming their circumstances for what they are,if you really what to discover
your purpose in life you don't have to believe in circumstances,the people who get on in life are people
who get up and look for circumstances they wanted it so badly that if they don't get it they make it
happen themselves.
Opportunities can drop on your laps if you have your laps where opportunities drop,when a person is
positioned correctly he is ready to receive all that God has for him,dare to be who you are learn to be
comfortable with big dreams failure is waiting on the path of least persistence,success comes from
daring to take small steps,find a way to succeed always don't allow yourself get limited by anything
most definitely not age the power of your influence is not subjected to how old or young you are make
your life count for what God purpose it to count for make your life count one day at a time one person
at a time one solution at a time and in due season you will get the result.
There is only one you,your face and your features,your voice,your style,your back ground,your
character,your peculiarity,your reputations,your ability,your smile,the way you walk,talk,your
expression,your view points,your belief system,your boldness everything about you is found in only
one individual called YOU avoid limitation.
3. Do A Self Evaluation
You need to know exactly who you are identify your unique value,what are your strength and
weakness as identify by you and others,your personal brand and believe are as a reflection of your
greatest strength and weakness,identify them build on your strength and address your weakness what
you believe about your potential ability to succeed. Life is the force that determines what you
accomplish if you fail to accomplish much during your time on earth it therefore mean you have not
done a proper self evaluation. A purpose less life is an early death the purpose of your success in life is
a life of purpose,the only true happiness come from squeezing yourself for a purpose. The prize of
carefully evaluating your purpose is the opportunity you have to unleash your potential,most of the
critical thing in life which become the starting points of human destiny are little things do little things
now and big things will come to you asking to be done.
You are created with natural ability and internal potential that guide you towards making success and
focusing on a particular thing the obligation to expand the potential to the ultimate destination. The
most disappointed people in the world are those who get just what is coming to them and no more there
are a lot of ways to become a failure but never taking a chance is the most successful. Whether you
succeed or fail in accomplishing your purpose on earth is yours to decide you are responsible for
whatever your life turns out to be no man was ever born a failure you can never be a failure until you
admit it,so many great men that have made history today are people that believe that they were never
born a failure. You have all it takes to succeed nobody can prevent you from succeeding except you
decide not to rise again whenever you are been knocked down. We are all created to accomplish a
purpose on earth and the ability to become great tomorrow lies within you,failure only come when you
look down on yourself for you to be able to rise above failure you must understand that you were never
born a failure. Your ability to keep your head high when others knock you down makes you a
winner,not the circumstances you are placed in that matter most but the spirit in which you see to face
your circumstance that determines your content.
Life is a school the more you live the more you learn,the greatest illiteracy is ones inability to learn
from the great things of life and also from the small things around. If you are not learning anything
good from failure and failure is not teaching you anything you are as good as been dead. Unless you
learn from people's failure,you might end up failing the way they failed.
For those who wants to learn life is a school while failure and success are both teacher if you are not
ready to learn life will live you behind become rich in learning and experience all the other riches that
follows,life is full of challenges,place your focus,seek simplicity and learn. Failure is a teacher for
those who which to learn,the beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take it away from you
life's greatest tragedy is that we get old too soon and wise too late. The truth you discover about your
failure,the lesser your mistakes in life.
You don't necessary need to be a master degree holder or Phd graduate before you can succeed in
learning from failure,it will only expand your level of thinking,there are a lot of people who only are
school drop-out and they have achieved great success,studies have show that most self made
millionaires have average performance in school,never the less these people reached their full
potentials and achieved their financial and personal goals because they are willing to learn from failure.
To succeed however you must be willing to ask quality questions remain curiously interested and open
to new knowledge,this willingness to learn becomes more crucial and give you the success you desire
in dew season.
Life is full of an impediment despite your good intentions in life you will definitely fail,you need to
be strong and fight your way back to the top,you can do it only if you can believe in your ability. Focus
determination,endurance and patience are the attributes of those who finish strong,quitter are loser the
world has a way of giving you what is demanded of it if you are frightened and look for failure and
poverty you will get despite your good intentions. Expect success and you will make success no where
is this true than in the school of life main-while bravery and faith bring both material and spiritual
rewards.
Often times you are wondering why things happen to you the way it happened,you are often face with
difficulties and you seems not to get all that you ever wished or asked for,you are working very hard
and yet you are getting very little result to show for it,don"t give up on your ability life wasn't meant to
be easy. Life is difficult on it's own you make it more difficult when you allow so many things that are
not relevant interfere with your goal in life. Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown,life is a battle
field,not a bed of roses wake up from your slumbers and get ready for battle,look at the world straight
in the eyes and don't be frightened by the challenges and demand it place on you. Get yourself
equipped with the necessary material for success and move with the right set of people,life is not
fair,there is no easy road to success life's battle aways goes to the man who is ready to face challenges
you gain strength and courage by each experience in which you really stop to look life in the face,you
must do that which you think you can.
To aim at success is to point your life towards realisation of your potentials,the fulfilment of your
ability. Success is not enhanced by accident. What you aim at determines what you will become life is
filled with challenges,mountain to climb and conquer with others to follow as well,when you are no
longer interested in climbing mountain to see other mountains to be climb life is over seize life before
life seize you. Even if you are on the right track leading to success you will get run over if you just sit
there and expect miracle to happen over night. Life is more than just a dream,how far you can
see,determine how far you can go,life is not a problem to be solved but a reality to be experienced,life
will break you with it yearning nobody can protect you from that,living alone won't either,you just have
to love,feel and live your life your own way this is the reason you are here on earth you are here to be
swallowed up.
Chapter 10
Always Make Yourself Happy
Our world today is an endless search for true happiness ask an average Nigeria what they needed
most in life,you will find out that most Nigeria wants to be happy. No matter the circumstances you are
place in always try your possible best to be happy. Develop an internal happiness within yourself that
will motivates you whenever you are been tempted to be sad. Always make yourself happy because if
you are thinking about Nigeria's problem you will develop head-ache,despite your good intentions in
life there are circumstances always ready to make you sad,no matter how careful you live your life.
Nigeria is frustrating on it own but you make it more frustrating for yourself when you allow so many
things that are not relevant make you sad in life. If you ask an average Nigeria what they desire most
definitely they will tell you I just want to be happy.
Everyone wants happiness but very few of us are ready to develop your happy be yourself so many
depend on family,friends or even their country for their happiness in life. Nobody is ready to make you
happy if you have not made up your mind to be happy. Nigeria as your country is not ready neither is
there any friend or family members that are ready to make you happy either. You have to develop your
happiness by yourself,dare to be who you are and learn to always make yourself happy,failure is
waiting on the path of least happiness,success comes from daring to take small step to be happy.
Be cheerful always don't allow yourself get limited by anything most definitely not your
circumstances. When life seems impossible,happiness is essential to your ability to persevere through
the though times without happiness you will give up. When the world gives you one good reason to be
sad give the world one thousand reasons for you to be happy always.
Scientist have been studying the effects of real happiness on human and have found among other
things that happiness has a profound effort on virtually every important organ on the human body.
Laughter reduces health sapping tension and relaxes the tissues as well as exercising the most vital
organ it is said that laughter even when forced results in beneficial effect on us both mentally and
physically. So the next time you want to be sad or angry indulge in a good laugh. It takes 72 muscles to
frown and only 14 to smile. Even mother Teresa of calcutta says "True holiness consists of doing the
will of God with a smile"
Happiness is not all about money,if happiness were to be all about money one would have expected
the rich to be the most happiest of all but despite all their riches they are not still happy. Don,t live your
life for money making alone,there are fulfilment you get when you know you are meeting a need
somewhere,you make people happy,you feel relevant by creating a happy atmosphere for yourself and
those around. You don't need to have millions in your bank account before you can be happy. However
learning how to become a happier person is not that hard at all,you will only need to make a few
changes in your life and ways of your thinking to find yourself feeling better about yourself and
everything else. Happiness is not far from your reach as long as you take a bit of your time and effort to
become a happier person. However if you find out that you are not getting much excitement at all out
of life it maybe time for you to learn something new about your success in life. In many ways the
happiness you get out of life is what you put into living. If happiness were as contagious as the
common cold you will not have to worry about it. Happiness is not a station you arrive at but the high-
way that leads to success.
Fear is a feeling not a fact the best way to gain strength and self confidence is to do what you are
afraid to do dare to stretch yourself,it takes courage to grow and become great,you many lose
something good but you may also gain something great. Laziness may appear attractive but hard work
leads to success,you are what you do thou good things don't come to those who wait,it only come to
those who work on meaningful goals main-while patience is not the ability to wait but how you act
while waiting and how hard you are willing to work while waiting for your work to pay off.
Almost anything is possible if you have enough time and enough nerves you need to spend less
time impressing others and more time impressing yourself. Climb a mountain so you can see the world
not so the world can see you. Sometimes we suffer not because of the violence others inflict on us but
because of our own silence. Know that it's less important to have more friends and more importantly to
have a real one surround yourself with good people who make you better and cherish every moment
and time you spend together,some day you will be a memory to some people just do your best to be a
great influence.
True love is not about how many days,months or years you have been with someone,true love is
about how intimate you actually love each other everyday. It's very true that twenty friends can't be
friends for twenty years. Commitment means staying loyal and keeping a promise long after the mood
you made the promise.
The best way to socialise with people is to become interested in them not by getting them to be
interested in you. Don't walk in front of people they may not follow you,don't walk behind people,they
may not lead you but you can walk beside them and just be their companion. People of similar interest
are those who goes around saying good things about you. Socialise with people who understand your
potential value the ones who come in when the world has gone out,the ones who share in your pain and
passion for your goal,those who encourages you when you are about giving up. It's important to note
that a word of encouragement during failure is worth more than a whole book of praise of success. The
men who succeed are the efficient few they are the few who have the ambition and will power to
develop themselves one man with courage makes you a majority and the greatest test of courage is to
bear defeat without losing heart.
The people you socialise with will definitely determine the extend you will go in life,if you try to be
someone else you are losing everything. Anybody who doesn't value what you have doesn't deserve
your friendship. You best friend should be those who bring out the best in you and value your
friendship more than anything else you don't need many friend you only need helpful friends. It's only a
fool that make friend with everyone,show me your closest friend and I will show you your future.
4. BE YOURSELF
Giving a struggling soul a little extra assistance goes a long way in the life of the struggling soul,the
strongest people are not those who show strength in front you but those who win battles you know
nothing about. Those who are hardest to love often need it most,help someone who is desperately in
need of your assistance and treat everyone with equal value,even those who are rude,give them a
chance to try to be a little bit polite.
True integrity is doing the right thing no matter the circumstances you are placed in even when
nobody is going to know whether you did or not. Few things are more satisfying than helping someone
else smile a little more than before,coming to a loving compromise with others,sometimes you must
choose to be wrong not because you really are wrong but because you value your friendship with them
more than your pride and let go of the past is your first step towards happiness so finish each day
before you begin the next one and build a solid foundation.
Don't forget that your failure does not define you but your determination does,failure is simply the
opportunity to begin again smarter than before don't give up on yourself keep fighting some times you
have to go through the worst of time to get the best of time. The end of everything is better than the
beginning thereof,every exist is an entry somewhere else. As long as you are breathing it's never too
late everyday is a dream,every day is a success,everyday is a new opportunity allow yourself to be a
beginner no one start off being great,do the best you can until you know the better,when you know the
better,do the best.
You can try something a million times it will not be a failure not until you are tired of trying. Many of
the great times you will remember for a lifetime are the ones when you step outside of your comfort
zone and try something new. The happiness you create for yourself and those around you deserve it
gift. In life you often have to create your own sunshine.
Read something positive every morning when you wake up and let it inspire you,do something
positive before you go back to bed at night this is how a memorable days are made. Only you can
transform your life from failure to a resound-able success,by becoming an action oriented person can
really help you make the decision to stop acting like a victim and start taking charge of your life one of
the first set of people you greet in the morning is a reflection in the mirror,you need to be accountable
and answerable for the life you are creating for it.
6. SEEK SIMPLICITY
A man is truly poor not when he has nothing but when he does nothing. Idleness is the nest in which
mischief lay it egg. Life is not lost by dying but life is lost minutes by minutes,day by day,dragging day
in all the thousand small uncaring ways lost time is never found. The best use of time is to spend it on
something that out lasts life. Lose an hour in the morning and you will spend all day looking for it.
Those who makes worst use of their time complain of it's shortness,great success requires time one of
the major causes of failure is the unwillingness to take to time.
Simplicity the candle of hope wisdom walks before it,opportune with it for repentance blinds it. He
that makes it his friend will have little to fear from his enemies,but he that makes it his enemy will have
little to hope for from his friend. Don't say you don't have enough time it's exactly the same number of
hour per day that were given to everyone when you wake up in the morning think of what a precious
privilege it is to be alive,to breathe to think creativity and to love. If you want to make a good use of
your time you have to know what's most important and give it all you have,once you have mastered
time you will understand how true it is that most people over estimated what they can accomplish in a
year and underestimated what they can achieve in a decades.
Your greatest asset is simplicity while your greatest resources is your time winning is not a sometime
thing it's an all the time thing,winning is an habit unfortunately same goes for losing. If you spend time
getting ready to be perfect and don't start out to accomplish your dream,you will find out later that you
could have accomplished your dream if you had just acted. Don't let the fear of the time it will take to
accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it the time will pass anyway,you might as well
put that passing time to the best use. The extend to which you involve your time can acquire and
organise a useful resources in adequate measure,it will not only influence your performance but also in
some case influence whether you start at all.
The ability to become great tomorrow lies within
your simplicity the concept is that you become what you think. Creativity combines the ideas in a
special way to bring a new tough to the end points of the social ideas creativity is bringing into
existence something from nothing,solving critical problem via in-depth
Chapter 11
BE WILLING TO LEARN
You don't have to be a master degree holder or PhD graduate before you can succeed in learning
something new in life,it will only increase your level of thinking in-fact there are lot of successful men
and women who only finish secondary education and they are doing well in their various field of
endeavours. Study have shown that most self made millionaires today have average intelligence,never
the less these people reached their full potentials and achieved their financial and personal goals in life
because they are willing to learn.
To succeed however,you must be willing to ask quality questions,remain curiously interested and
open to new idea,this willingness to learn becomes more crucial given the rapid change in technologies
and ways of improving your life. Learn to exhibit more positive attitudes towards learning,your
positive attitudes starts from your willing to content your with some specific thing and some definite
work by daring to accept with good grace all that you don't have. Your life stay is not written with a pen
but with your positive attitudes which subdues fears,when you challenge your fears you master
them,when you wrestle with your problem they lose their grip of you when you dare to confront the
things that scare you,it opens the door for you to learn something new.
Dependency on others for your success in life support the habit of procrastination,man has the
ability to learn without instructions all you need do is open your mind and be willing to learn. In-fact
when you learn the act of self education you will find it easy,if not create opportunity to find success
beyond your wildest dream. Learn to think problem through don't give up if you don't can't attain it
today go back to it next time. Learning is a gradual process,always discipline your mind to the thought
that anything given you to decide presuppose your ability to solve it. Sufficient thought will bring the
proper solution in due time,learn to put yourself in the other person's place.
Life is a school for those who are willing to learn,if life is a game play it well in-order to win. Let
your thought run free and think of others,you ultimately become the people you choose to be,make
good use of life before life make good use of the better part of you,even if you are at the right track
leading to success,you get run over if you are not willing to learn. If the eagle chicks does not break out
of the shell it is going to get pretty smelling and hot in there,life will be too unbearable for it to sustain.
You don't need to waste your life on what you know that does not profit you,opportunity once lost
can never be regain,commit yourself to some great thought and wonderful things bigger than yourself
the greatest risk in life is not fear of failure but a life that wait and depend on others for their security in
life. You must consciously determine to make your life count,to make it count in God's sight,to make it
count in God's service and in your service to humanity,to make it count to all who come across you in
your day to day activity.
You must keep your conscious mind fixed in what you desires and your subconscious mind will
merrily guide you towards it achievement. Life is not bed of rose whatever goes around comes
around,you are naturally created with abilities and an internal compass that guides you towards a
particular focus for your life,people hate changes yet it's the only thing that brings growth in life there
is nothing that is not constant as change. Everyone wants to change humanity but no one think of
changing themselves unless you try to change your to do something beyond what you have already
mastered you will never grow.
The important thing in life is to have great aim to poses the right attitude and the perseverance to do
something great. Your success in life is a better not so much of talent or opportunity as of concentration
and perseverance,it's interesting to notice how some minds seems almost to create themselves springing
up under every disadvantages and working their solitary but irresistible way through a thousand
obstacles. Some men give up their designs when they have almost reached their goal while others on
the contrary obtain victory by exciting at the last moment more vigorous effort than ever before main-
while most people give up when they are about to achieve success,they quite on the yard line,they gave
up at the last minutes of the game one foot from a winning tough down.
Your flight through life is sustained by the power of God's knowledge. If you refuse the platform of
knowledge,then you have refuse the flight of greatness. The greatest mountain in life is personal
ignorance,this is reason being that every of your knowledge is an advantage and every of your
ignorance is bondage this is the darkness that ignorance gives birth to. You may ignore your ignorance
but your ignorance will not ignore you in the public and if you think knowledge is too expensive to get
then try ignorance and see which is better.
Become involve with risky ventures and continually seek new opportunity to succeed,when you
develop your a love to learn lifestyle you will accomplish important goals and free yourself off the
stress for you to learn. Developing a love to learn lifestyle will help you overcome frustrations and
bring your life into balance and order giving you the feeling of relief. A man can develop a love to learn
lifestyle if he believes in himself and have enough courage,the determination to learn,the dedication,the
competitive drive and if you are willing to sacrifice the little things in life which becomes the bed rocks
of big things and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile.
Your desire to learn can easily be developed it all depends on your attitudes and your willingness
to learn,only through experience of trials and suffering can the soul be strengthened,vision cleared
ambitions inspired and success achieved,better development of lifestyle will enables you to give
yourself more to others. You feel better on top of the pile than under it. Life will take on a great rest
enthusiasm and productivity,you will be able to handle any failure that comes your way far more easily
and it will give more time for development.
Learning is a gradual process,no man can graduate from learning,most often time you learn from
people's mistakes and your personal errors. You can't be making the same mistakes and yet you are
expecting a different result,it's foolishness in the real sense of it. If you have a unique idea but you
refuse to learn ideas are only what you ever have,there must be something in your life that turns you
on,you can start by developing your lifestyle to learn something new money is not everything in
learning. You can learn from event happening and from people around you. The starting point of all
desire to learn begins with your persistence and willingness to learn,even when you failed at learning
something new as you sometimes will bounce back on your feet and try again,keep this constantly in
mind,weak desire brings weak learning.
Sustaining your success starts in your mind,it begins with the understanding of who you are and your
attitudes toward things and people,your mind zone determines your life settings,what you become in
life and how you become it must first be pictured in your mind before you can achieve it. Your mind
zone is very crucial because it's the gateway to all success in life,the state of your mind determines the
quality of your life you have a great potential for success but you must know your mind and live your
own life then you will find and enjoy that mighty potential become acquainted with the awesome
power of the mind and you can win what you want within a time limit of your success.
There are mind people and there are heart people mind people are methodical,analytical and makes
decisions base on facts while heart people appear more sensitive,more intuitive and they lean towards
spontaneity and flexibility. Further more when your mind is out of place then your place in life is
lost,the beauty of your life is a reflection of the beauty of your mind with great thoughts,for you will
never go any higher than your mind can conceive on this note I put it to you that if your mind can
conceive it then your heart can believe it you are rest assure to achieve great success in life.
If you can control a man's thinking you don't have to be wrong about his actions,when you
determines what a man think you don't have to concern yourself about what he will do. Everybody
think of changing the humanity but nobody think of changing themselves,if you can't change a person's
thinking,then you can't change his life. Every great men are known to be a positive thinkers and every
committed positive thinkers is bound to be a great achievers. The greater the product of your mind,the
greater people are willing to pay you. You need to do your own growing no matter how great your
grand father is,your life will always move in the directions of your thought.
One of the great discoveries of these ages were not the present of automobiles or technologies but
that man exchanges his attitudes by changing what he thinks about himself. Some say that you are what
you hold in the focus of your imagination or that you are the sum total of all your thoughts up to the
present moment. The scripture proclaims this very fact in the book of proverbs a great book in the bible
written by the philosopher himself is a collections of moral and religious teachings that helps through
life changes (proverb 23v7). As a man think in his heart so he is.... In Galatians it also record. Whatever
a man sow ( in terms of thought) that shall he reap. Each of these statements indicates that you become
whatever you think about if you think good,you become good and if you think evil you become evil.
The thoughts which you hold at the stage centre of your imagination are the future manifestation of
reality in your life. If you reflect for a moment upon these ideas which will be allow to hold a greater
proportion of time in your mind perhaps you will recognise that this is what you really represent.
BE PRECISE
It's better to know where you are going than for to get there quickly. Set a precise goal putting date and
time so you can measure your success. If you do this,you will know exactly when you have achieved
the goal and you can take a complete satisfaction from having achieved it. Time management is the
fundamental requirement for maintaining balance in all areas of your life without it your goal will will
be unstable. Crystallize your goals make a plan for achieving them,set yourself a deadline and be
precise,then with supreme confidence,determination and burning desires to achieve success. Disregard
obstacles and people's criticism and carry out your plans,you can measure the size of the
accomplishment of your goal by the obstacles and people's criticisms you have overcome to reach your
goals.
The key for being precise is to turn your desire or your goal over to your subconscious mind which
is connected to the universal mind or universal subconscious and let it bring your success to you and
you to the achievement of your success. Avoid fragmentation,place your focus and seek simplicity
precise living call calls for elegant efficiency and economy of effort expanding the maximum time and
energy necessary to achieve the desired success.
Something in human nature causes us to start sacking off at our moment of greatest accomplishment
as you become more successful you will need a great deal of self discipline not to loss your sense of
balance,humility and commitment. Life is constantly feasting us for our level of commitment. Life's
greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate never ending commitment to act until t you
achieve. This level of resolve can move mountain but it most be constant and consistent. As simple as
this may sound it is the common denominator separating those whose are successful from those who
are failure.
