SUCCESS IS PLANTING

 SUCCESS IS PLANTING Written By Chibuzor Michael Onah  Nobody reminds a farmer to go make preparations for a planting season. He knows what to do at the right time and he does it, so are you?  Are you aware of your journey to success or are you waiting to be reminded?  You have to take the necessary steps now or tomorrow will be late.  When a farmer misses his seasoning for planting crops and vegetables he has to patiently wait for the next season. David Oyedepo once said, if you ever think you're a kid,  you're kidding and you may end up in the kitchen. That's really a true statement because at 18 year of age, you've got to start laying your plans accordingly and don't wait for anybody to come do that for you. You do that for yourself.  At twelve, Jesus knew his father's business, learned and took action there. Some persons are waiting to be directed or talked to on what to do before they do it. That's really bad. The journey of success is per-head therefor

  DON'T ASSUME, ASK! Written By Joseph Adeleke A Personal Development Coach When I was still singing, I wanted to relieve my friend, Ogunariwo Oluwaseun from doing my graphic design. He was always ready to help me with the design but I felt bad that I wasn't financially buoyant to pay him at that time. So, on a fateful day, when I was coming out from my Hostel at unilag, I saw a flyer reading "Learn Film Making, Graphics Designing and Animation at .....". I took the flyer but I was scared of how much it would cost to learn it. I went  home and had a talk with my friend, Fashola Oladapo who had come visiting that weekend. Told him about the training and the fear I had in telling my dad about. I knew he wasn't financially buoyant and I did not think I should trouble him about going to another school while I was still schooling at Unilag. Instead of having fears, he advised that I tell my dad first before concluding. So the next morning before leaving for school, I t

CREATING POSITIVE ENERGY IN THE WORKPLACE!

 CREATING POSITIVE ENERGY IN THE WORKPLACE! Written By  Wisdom Alexander,  A Personal Development Coach/Content Creator. I was at a retail store recently where two staff were pointing fingers at each other in a bout of anger. I stood transfixed as I began to wonder what on earth would have caused such an argument or disagreement, most especially in the workplace. In response to this event, I had to do a quick research to find out possible ways of how staff and colleagues at work can relate positively with each other in such a friendly, cordial and productive manner. And here are my top three findings: 1. Drop the entitlement mentality!  Promotion is always based on level of productivity  and profitability. So, if a junior colleague is promoted above you, then there should be something unique you have to humbly learn from that fellow who just got promoted. There's no need feeling jealous and envious. 2. Work with the company's goal in mind.  If every employee or staff will embod

CONCERNING NEGATIVE BLOODLINES AND CIRCLES Written By Merry Paul, A Marriage Counselor  Children Stop blaming your negative behaviors on  your parents. There are still People who proposed in their heart not to be held down by the mistake of their parents and they succeeded. That a wrong trait is prevalent in the life of your father or mother doesn't mean that it has to be so with you.  You've been deceived into believing that it's in your blood. Well I'm here to correct that notion that it's not in your blood, it's only believed in your heart. Even if there is a negative circle in your family, you must realize that someone started it and if someone started it, it means that someone can change it. you can decide and determine to change that negative circle in your family to a positive one. If by one man's mistake a negative circle is formed, then by one man's deliberate insistence, a new and glorious circle can be formed too. Adam formed a circle of death

  THINGS YOU MUST AVOID AS A POSITIVE INFLUENCER Written By Grace Dafierechi 1. FOLLOWING THE CROWD On Monday while i was about entering a classroom to teach, A pupil from another class met me and excused me. She asked me a question? Ma', Is it possible for the teachers in this School to be like you? Although you're A Part-time teacher, but you're so different. I asked her how? She said; Ma' "You teach with passion. You value us. You always encourage us and you want us to do well etc... The point I'm driving at is that no one achieves Great things by following the crowd. Those who follow the crowd will get lost in the crowd. Until you stand out you cannot be outstanding.  While growing up as A Teenager, I learnt that; "Champions don't live like Amateurs; their lives are regulated by principles." I took a decision to live differently. Talk differently. Act differently. I decided to focus on my focus, so I can be a focus in my Generation. I did not

 THERE ARE MORE TO BEING A HEALTHY LEADER Written By Orji  Victor CP And Contributed By Grace Obialor, Work @ FRCN FOUNDATION FOR HEALTHY CHURCH WORKER/LEADERS (Isaiah 9:16). God chooses Leaders. They may lead God's people as Shepherds, Fathers, Mentors, Guides and Teachers.   While a leader is the person leading, Leadership is the method, style and functions.   - Leadership is not found in a position but in a person.   - Leaders are made, not naturally born into it.   - Leadership is the Difference Maker in the Church.   - You can be a godly Minister without being a good Leader.   - People don't really leave Church but their leaders when they are not leading well.   - Churches cannot really rise beyond her Leaders.   - You may have gifts that attract people without the skill to retain them.   - Healthy Leaders lead as Shepherds and as Ranch Leaders. THERE ARE MORE TO BEING A HEALTHY LEADER: It entails Personal growth, Spiritual  dynamism, Matured hearts, Consistent walk, Integ
