Failure doesn't mean you are a failure. It just mean you haven't succeeded yet. Failure doesn't mean you have accomplished nothing, It does mean you have learnt something. Failure doesn't mean you've been a fool to try, it does mean you were brave you had nerve. You had courage, be proud of yourself. Failures doesn't mean you"ll never make it. It does mean you may need to try once more. Failure doesn't mean you are finished, it does mean you have a Chance to start all over again. Failure doesn't mean God has abandoned you. it does mean He has a BETTER IDEA . So know this truth, failure is never the final. Originally written by Dr Robert Schulle

If you are always racing to the next moment what happens to the ones you're in? Don't mourn bad decisions overcome them good ones The only impossible journey is the one you never began (Tony Robins). Great things in business are never done by one person. They are done by a team of people (Steve Jobs) The world may say seeing is believing but the truth is believing is seeing. Take a chance! All life is a chance. The person who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare. Life: I walk slowly but I never walk backwards. God gives you 31. 5 million seconds in a year, subtract sleep that will be 21millions seconds. You are already a time millionaire now go out and invest 21million seconds of time asset (Akinwumi A Adesina) Lives of great men  all remind us we can make our lives sublime, and departing leave behind us footprint on the sand of time. (Henry Wadsworth Langfellow) The height great men reached and kept were not attained by sudden...

There was once a wise old man who live on top of a mountain. (I don't know somehow or rather why old wise men always seem to stay on top of mountians) . Whenever the villagers had a problem, they would climb up the mountain and ask the old man for advice. One day, a young man (successful by the standard of the day) decided to climb up and ask the old man a question. Wise man, wise man, "he asked" what makes a man truly great?. The old man looked at him and said, do you sincerely want to know?  Yes, yes the young man said. There was once a Greek man " the old man started a story", who suffered from a deadly disease. Knowing that he was going to die, he was first to join the Army when his  country was in a battle with their enemy. Hoping to die in battle, he would fight and fight and fight exposing  himself in the front line without any worry for his life. Finally when the battle was won, he was still alive!. His General, so impressed with his bravery which c...

                 Choose What You Fight... In 2018 I once met a very successful business man and I asked him to share his secret with me. He smiled and said to me..., they are quite easy! I started succeeding when I started leaving small fights for small fighters. I stopped fighting those who gossiped about me... I stopped fighting those who do not believe in me, I quit trying to win them over. I stopped fighting over unnecessary issues with my spouse... I stopped fighting for attention... I stopped fighting to meet up with public expectation... I left such fights for those who have nothing else to fight... “And I started fighting for my vision, my dreams, my ideas and my destiny,  my goals, my aspiration, then the result begins to show, I started winning big". That was the day I gave up on small fights. Some fights are not worth your time. Fight to make your visions and dreams come alive! Fight the good fight of fai...

If you can't be a pine on top of the hill, be a scrub in the valley but be the best little scrub by the side of the hill. Be a bush if you can't be a tree, if you can't be a bush, be a bit of grass. If you can't be a muskie, then just be a bass, but be the liveliest bass in the lake. We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew, there is something for all of us. There is bigwork to do and there's lesser to do and the task we must do is the near. If you can't be a highway, then just be the trail. If you can't be the sun be a star, it isn't by size that you win or you fail. Be the best of whatever you are.                 By Douglas Mallock

It seems to me that people have vast potential.Most people can do extraordinary things if they have confidence to take risks,Yet most people do not.They sit in font of the tell and treat life as if it goes on forever. No horse gets anywhere until it is harnessed, no steam or gas drives anything until it is confined, no Niagara is ever turned into light and power until it is tunneled. No life ever grows until it is focused and dedicated. Things will not always go the way you want, the unexpected and the undesired may happen. But the question is simple, will you allow those things to stop you  or will you drive on through them and move on to greatness? What you pay for in life is what you don't know, that is why the more you know the less you pay, so seek to know more! Don't get so wrapped up in planning the future that you forget to enjoy the present. Every adversity, every failure, every disappointment, every unpleasant circumstance and experience carries with it the...
