Greatness Does not Come by Chance


Growing up and doing it on time is a responsibility everyone must personally accept. Responsibility is accepted when one realized that; no one can succeed for another person. Everyone must succeed for himself. Everyone must impact his generation himself. It should be made clear that no one can help someone else more than that person can help him or herself. For example, the best prayer anybody can pray for you is the one you pray for yourself. The best advice anybody can give you is the one you give yourself. The best compliment anyone can pay you is the one you pay yourself. The best love you can receive from anyone is the one you receive from yourself.

To abandon yourself to external help and input is to abandon yourself to helplessness, frustration and failure. The future you do not prepare for, does not exist. A life left to chance is a life left to fail. You do not fly your way to greatness in life; you work your way to greatness giving it everything you’ve got to create a future you desire in life.

The most reliable person on earth is God, every other person is subject to change. Looking up to man or depending on man, frustrates the full release of your potentials.

Working yourself to greatness require persistence. There is awesome power in persistence. I realised that a dam that is put under persistent pressure must break. A wall that is brought under persistent pressure must break. Breakthrough in every realm of life happens by the power of persistence. The full potential of both people and things are realised by the power of persistence.

Many fail to reach their peak in life for want of persistency. Persistence in your dreams, visions, desires etc must eventually produce greatness.

My counsel is, keep on doing what you know is right whether you see immediate results or not, because; the energy and efforts you put in something in your life are never lost. A result many times is a product of the synergy of energy.

Oppositions always give way for persistent pressure. To achieve greatness in your life, you must work for it. And in doing it, you must be persistent in whatever you are doing. It may take long, but someday, the result it will produce will surprise you. Be determine to achieve, be persistent and you will achieve it! Don’t wait for manna to fall down from heaven, because, there is no more manna in heaven - work yourself to greatness.

INTERNAL PROMOTION AND SUCCESSION PLANNING

Promotion comes as a result of ones performance on the job over a period of time, or it could be said to be an advancement in ones profession. Succession on the other hand is a shift in position as a result of promotion, transfer, retirement or death of others. It could be as well a change in policy of an organisation leading to reorganisation of operations and human resources. Getting succession right is vital. There are two approaches that can be used at different times to ensure success. The internal selection approach advocates choosing successors from within, to ensure a smooth transition, preserve company values, and encourage employees by showing a potential career path. Most organisations struggle with how to turn succession into success. It is necessary to use either internal selection or the Darwinian approach at different levels or at different times. For example, a high percentage (80%) of senior roles may be internally appointed, while junior roles are sel...

GREEDY PEOPLE, POOR NATION

A holy man was having a conversation with the Lord one day and said, 'Lord, I would like to know what Heaven and Hell are like. The Lord led the holy man to two doors. He opened one of the doors and the holy man looked in.  In the middle of the room was a large round table.  In the middle of the table was a large pot of stew, which smelled delicious and made the holy man's mouth water. The people sitting around the table were thin and sickly.  They appeared to be famished.  They were holding spoons with very long handles that were strapped to their arms and each found it possible to reach into the pot of stew and take a spoonful.  But because the handle was longer than their arms, they could not get the spoons back into their mouths. The holy man shuddered at the sight of their misery and suffering. The Lord said, 'You have seen Hell.' They went to the next room and opened the door.  It was exactly the same as the first one.  There was the la...

Reasons for most Business Failures

There has been rampant cases of business failures both in the past and at present.  One wondered what is behind this.  Some even make assertions that the business world has collapsed, some says businessmen has joined the political wagon that they have failed to differentiate between business capital and profit. All these assertions have no basis.  You may ask what then has been behind most business failures?  The answer to this question is simple “poor customer relations”. One of the single greatest key to long-term business success can be summed up in three simple words: Quality customer service. Yet as customers, you and I are aware that quality customer service is far too rare these days in spite that many business organisations have invested heavily in this unit but few actually make any headway.  Why is excellent service so rare? There are three reasons for this.             Employees don’t know t...
