I met my wife at my brother’s wedding meeting. Before then, I did not know that she was my student for a period of over 10 months! It was in 2004. Being early birds, we found ourselves the first two at the meeting venue. And that is how we started a conversation. As they say, the rest is history. We wedded in 2006. We continue to surprise each other. Before you decide who to marry, start with why do you want to marry? Why marry by when? Forget the motivation talks out there on “each person has got their own…
Complacency Kills Careers
There is a difference between pushing yourself to the limit, and being comfortable with little. If God has blessed you with a gift of making money, then make lots of it and donate it to worthy causes. Do not just be comfortable with little and just sit. I have seen people who upon buying a home with a good address; have a brand-new German car and a family, they think they have arrived. And all they do is to play golf, watch TV, drink and go home to sleep. They just disengage all the gears and get comfortable with the…
Study the wall first. Don’t just drill through
2019 is here. We are all pumped up to conquer the year swiftly. This morning, I received the following message on my FB newsfeeds.: “Obstacles won’t stop me. If I run into walls in 2019, I won’t turn around and give up.

Our minds are wired to give up at any slight challenge. Only the people that ‘train’ their minds to persevere, get far. You can easily experience this when you indulge…
Talent is useless without hard work
If you don’t work hard on your talent today, you could die with it just like a anybody. You will never know your potential. At 20 years, it is probably too late to identify and nurture your talent. All you have is to focus on your chosen career and give it 100%. That means you must work hard at such a critical turn in your life. Start 2019 on a high by watching The Immortals, a new TV show on Dstv. The series profile top performers in all sports from footballers, to athletics and world champions in all fields examining…

Tool #22 of 104 is to explore more
“When doubts filled my mind, your comfort gave me renewed hope and cheer”, Psalm 94:19 On Friday 14th December 2018, a Mother entered my office with the Son in tow at 7:00am in search of an Internship opportunity for the son currently in Senior Six vacation. Our elaborate Internship training also serves as on-boarding or induction program for new hires which every new staff must undergo. Some staff refer to the program as the three months of mind tuning. Of course, there are a few staff that never went through the program and miss the experience. New hires after 2016,…
