Hey, hey, hey. Can you see what I am seeing? Mehn, these titles –  they are just crazy. Mehn they lonnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggggggggggggggg. Anyway, let’s jump into the business for the day. Blahhhhhhh.

 These are the Top 5 Success Rules I Learned From this Guy - Let's Go...

Rule 1: Have Passion Around Something.


When you have passion, your action and all your effort intentional or non-intentional will count and will push you towards what you are so passionate about. Passion is putting it, squeezing out the whole juice out of the orange until everything is out. Passion involves giving it your all. Passion is the energy that keeps you going even when no one cares.

It will show when you give it your all and people will only buy into only when you are ready to give it your all. It will show emotionally, psychologically, verbally. It will spring up and just click.

Rule 2: It’s the Best People That Win


You don’t become a winner because someone somewhere chooses you as the winner. Nobody picks the winner in the game, the players are the ones that pick the winner. You become the winner by winning. You become the winner by doing – doing enough. What do I mean? If you are good enough, you will win. If you are obsessed that people are ahead of you, then you are already a loser. People will always be ahead, but it is your sole duty and responsibility to catch with them.

Hey, can you see how Mark Zuckerberg is catching with Bill Gates and Warren Buffet at the top of the list in Forbes’ Ranking of the World’s Richest. That is how the game works. 

Rule 3: Stop Focusing on Dumb Sh*t.


Yea, you must have heard or read about this before. Focus!!! Yea, but not on dumb sh*t! 99% of the things around you don’t matter. When you blindly believe in your mission, the world’s noise gets really quiet and you can gently move on. 

Rule 4: Take Actions


I believe “everyone is born great and everyone can be but we just don’t want to”. WHY?!, you may ask. Why, because we are afraid to act – to take actions. We sit down and wished and fantasize and nothing happens. We are good at talking how we want something and we do nothing and nothing happens. Speak things into existence and go ahead and do something about them, then you will get result. 

Rule 5: Don’t Waste Your Life


Don't waste your life feeling sorry for yourself or anything. Apologize and move on! You are a human being, so don’t waste that opportunity given to you. No more dwelling in the past – how you failed, why you can’t do this or that cos of… Stop complaining and start completing the pieces of your life. Forget about the past failures, the story of how your parents weren’t there and how you gat no support. You are alive now then start living your life. The odd of you being or coming into life is 400trillion to 1. Yes, you had me right, so don’t waste life. 

Design your life now that you are in charge. You need to take life by the throat and execute it before life grabs your throat.

At the End of the Day, just...

Silver Naira - Selling Nigeria as a Brand

Image
What do you know about Nigeria as a brand? What do you know about Nigerians. We should be able to sell Nigeria as a brand in terms of all the good things we have not just in terms of her politicians.  We should sell Nigeria as a brand in terms of fashion, creativity, technical know-how, culture and we should sell it with the best of styles and narratives we as a people can put forward to the world. Now that is the whole essence of Silver Naira . Silver Naira is a social platform founded by Nigerian - Tonye Lekara and it is here to sell the Nigeria content - to showcase Nigeria as a brand (a brand everyone should be proud of associating with). It was launched in October 1, 2019. Tonye has more than 12 years experience in the IT industry - embedded system, robotics, etc. The beauty of Silver Naira is that it digs deep into Nigeria and the Nigerian brand and pour out what makes the Nation as a brand beauty for everyone to behold. Silver Naira does not associate itself

My Own Best Friend

By making yourself better, by challenging and growing yourself, you can contribute to the lives of others, you can create value in the lives of others. I make these videos, make my audio recordings - I have to repeatedly check out myself, how I sound, how others will perceive me and criticize me, the errors and mistakes therein. If I don't do these things I won't get to the point of self discovery, self appreciation and self actualization. Looking for the opinions of others to validate my work and support my unhealthy ego will not help me. We belittle ourselves and sabotage our chances of doing great work when we are so desperate for the approval of others. Investing in yourself is the best way we can contribute to our lives, our families and our societies. You don't attract what you want, you attract who you are. Make you a better person to attract better people and be open to feedback and criticism.  Like Tim Grover said, the only difference betw

Earn that Name or Title

Whatever you are or whatever you think you are, if you aren't earning it everyday then you are just lying to yourself If you are being called a teacher and you are not willing to earn it everyday, then you are deceiving yourself and those around you who call you teacher You are father/dad and you don't do what a father/dad is supposed to do, you are just an imposter, you know who you are and definitely you know you aren't a father/dad The work, the effort, the will and the energy - all what you do make you and that's the title you deserve not the one someone else gave you. Your work gives you your title and not the other way round.  Everything in life boils down to work. Taking actions and taking the steps. Having the courage and zeal and willpower to do.
