Nothing productive comes from being idle. Successful men did not just sit doing nothing while success came knocking. Elon Musk did not just sleep in his bed and think about Space X, Tesla motors or Solar City coming into existence, he went as far as benefitting about $4.9billion in government support, it did not end there, the first few rockets launched into space didn't even get halfway, some didn't even leave earth, but he went ahead to make certain changes, and boom, the rockets did get launched into space.

Elon Musk not just thinking space X, Solar City and Tesla into existence, but working towards it becoming a reality is an example of what I call toil, and he going as far as benefitting a huge amount of money in subsidy from the United States is what I call risk. It could have gone either ways for him, but he was of a positive mindset and here we are with Space X, Tesla and all.

Aliko Dangote was said to start his business with $3000, but see where he is now. He is not just influential in the country, he is the richest man in Africa. The sacrifices he made back then when he started is what has led him to being what he is today.

Don't just sit and think because your dad is rich, that automatically qualifies you to be rich. Paddy Adenuga had to leave his dad's company where he was the Group Executive Director to set up an oil brokering firm in London with Cayne & Cayne and at the age of 29, he almost bought Chevron, Netherlands.

Toil and risk, and at the end, you will have the glory!

We all have at one point or the other in our lives been angered by humans or situations. The outcome or aftermath of the anger was not that cool if you will all agree with me. For those whose anger is on a low level, the aftermath as little as it might be may result in broken relationships and all while for those whose anger is on a higher level, it may result to having blood on one's hands and thereby 'rotting' in jail.

Anger makes a terrible fuel, it can't help you build anything, it can only make you destroy. The Bible in the book of Ephesians 4:26 attests to anger not being a good thing. It says 'Be ye angry and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:'. It's okay to be angry, in fact you can not do without being angry, BUT no matter how provoked or frustrated you may be, no matter how far to the wall you have been pushed, do not let the sun go down on your anger!

The sun going down on your anger does not literarily mean you have to let go of that which makes you angry before the sun sets, fine, that's advisable to do, but it also means not to get angry for a  long period of time. A friend of mine does one thing when he's angry: he counts backwards one to a hundred, that means, he starts counting from one hundred to one and by the time he reaches halfway through the counting, the anger's subsided already and we all start joking again. That might not work for you, but all the same, get angry less and find a cure to your anger.

Thank you!

Sometimes you find yourself in a depressed and challenging circumstance, terribly sad and terrified, asking for ways forward, looking for solutions, seeking for answers, strictly forgetting that the potent solution lies within you, and the greatest strength with an unbeaten force lies in your innate intuition.

Most times you experience different forms of troubles, problems, hogwash offered by circumstances, clearly forgetting that despite being in tough situations, you need to stay happy, believing in all ramifications than in all experiences: either good or bad, life experiences must be learnt. Remember there's no better peace than that within one's self. When dejecting situations strike, only the strong and the undaunted stays and continues unrelenting while people make mockery.

Sit back a little and understand the rudiments of life formation. 120million sperm cells against an egg just to become a foetus!. Remember, you are that sperm cell that won. I ask if you can have that much knowledge about winning, as well as competiting at that little phase of life, surmounting obstacles from childhood and life tearing circumstances. So why give up now even as a full fledged human.

Stand, forge ahead, if you can't run walk, if you can't walk crawl and keep crawling just make sure you are moving. I am a star and the key to stardom is with me and me only. Rise and fight! You are the star we are waiting to see.  No one criticizes the origin of the wind. Clearly criticisms should be your platform for success. Tell yourself: 'I'm that human that will set standards and work tirelessly towards it. I'm a star and I'll make it irrespective of the situation I find myself in'. Remember you don't live for anyone but yourself!

Have a lovely Day.
