Bleeding For The Moment - A True Life Story

If you think success is quick then you’re in for the biggest shock of the century. I was once told the trajectory to sustainable growth is quite a length of time with no instant gratification. I was also told, if we keep at what we do that two years into it we become an echo, in five years we become a voice and in ten years we become an authority. This is exactly the story of ABAYOMI JOHNSON and I. Eighteen years ago we met at Owen Thomas Secondary School, Alagbado, Lagos State Nigeria where we both attended tutorial classes in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics ahead of our Senior Certificate Examination.

Abayomi was exceptionally intelligent and we become friends instantly. In the course of Baba's classes as we fondly called the chemistry teacher (Baba was a retired secondary school teacher); Baba would dictate a question at the end of each class, and then

The Power of the Mind

Once upon a time in a village where men, women, and children died of a deadly plague, and the only solution to their predicament was hidden in a far away cave of no traceable path. The best warriors where sent in search for the cure, but none returned alive, because aimlessly they wandered until they where sapped of their strengths, to the point of death.

You are More Than Enough

It is really shameful for an eagle undermining the height of his flight and settling for average. How disgraceful and belittling of a Lion- the King of all animals not recognizing his supremacy and staff of authority amidst little animals. How much more for a Prince eating among slaves and begging for arms, when he has the power to give and take whatever he so desires in his kingdom.

These and many more are the stories of some of us who have lost theie true width and strength of what they are made of. We’ve failed to recognize our true identities and potentials in achieving great success. We keep waiting for the appointed time whereas we’ve left the better parts of

IT'S TIME

If only many knew this is the right time to begin, a number of would have have become CEO and MDs of their own profitable companies. Instead, they believe it's not yet time and their bellies are warehousing the mega structures of their companies. The appointed time to start is to start at the point of nothing. But remember you are something, more than anything a business requires to strive. Not doing the right thing at the right time is doing the wrong thing at the right time.

We've wasted time waiting for the right time, whereas we've indeed left the better times of our lives behind. Still we look ahead hoping for a better time in future, but remember there is no future anywhere; for your tomorrow(future) is the today you spoke about yesterday, therefore every day is always a future. Until this is established you will keep living in the future(today) waiting for a future.
