Relationships...


If you find yourself taking two steps forward and one step backwards, invariably it's because you have mixed associations in your life. Choose your association carefully. The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. 

The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate with - for the good and bad. A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. 

Our lives can never be better than the quality of friends we chose. This is a law of life. Your choice of friend should be made, based, and motivated by similarities of visions and values. Your relationships will influence your future. 

They're are 3 levels of relationships that we have in life: relationships with those above us, relationships with our mates or peers, and relationships with those below us that we're helping to grow. Focus more on the first and last levels. 

The more you hang out with those higher than you, the higher you go. The more you help those below you to succeed - because of the unfailing law of sowing and reaping - the more you attract oppurtunities and people to your life that help you grow and succeed as well. 

The quality of your friends has a direct relationships with the quality of your life because in life, you are either getting better or getting worse depending on your relationships. To make friend become friendly, to find a true friend, first become one. Like the most other life decisions, quality is better than quantity. 

Choose your relationships with good judgement, choose with excellence.

BEING YOU...

I t's been said that the biggest enemy of 'great' is 'good'. The biggest enemy most of us face is 'ourselves'. The nagging voice says: be like him, you're not worthy; do what he does, follow where others are going. When you're trying to be like someone else, the best you can ever be is "second best" . Why compare yourself with others? No one in the entire world can do a better job of being you than you. We all do it or have done it at some point in our lives; we compare ourselves to others and gauge where we are based on what we observe them to be doing. When you stop comparing yourself to others, you tend to produce more results in your life, you are able to improve yourself, and get a better vision for your life . The easiest thing to be in the world is YOU . The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don't let them put you in that position. Until you make peace with who you are, you will never be cont...

Be Yourself

Be an original individual and not a photocopy. However, you may try to change your personality, but you can't. A congolese proverb says, " Wood may remain ten years in the water, but it will never become a crocodile". Beware! Many spend their entire lives trying to change the way they were made. "To be nobody but yourself" says E.E. Cummings " but in a world which is doing its best day and night, to make everybody else - means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight and never stop fighting." The greatest tragedy than can strike an individual is to fail to know himself.  Syndney Harris said "Ninety percent of the world's woe comes from people not knowing themselves, their abilities, their frailties and their real virtues". Whatever you are, be a good one.  You are number one; everyone in the world is your number two. Wart Disney said, "the more you are like yourself, the less you are like anyone els...

Character..

Character is the aggregate sum total of one's distinctive moral and mental qualities. Every man has in himself a continent of undiscovered character, however it is not a natural endowment we are born with.  It is something that each individual forms of itself, with a continuous process in every thought, every action, every deed, every feeling which contributes to the education  faculty of our attitudes and habits.  Character is just like cloud of smoke, it can never be concealed or hidden because it will find its way out. Character is a magnet that attracts the right people to you. It is the real foundation of all worth while success.  "Thoughts leads on purposes, purposes go forth in action, action from habits, habits decides character, and character defines our destiny" (Tryon Edwards). Would your reputation recognize your character if they met in the dark? Would the boy you were be proud of the man you are?
