Make your success sprout

Few months into this year, I planted four coconut seedlings and began to cultivate them, ensuring that they got the care needed for them to do well.

Surprisingly, at the time I expected them to sprout, I observed that only two, out of the four, were sprouting and it seemed as if the remaining two were not going to sprout. I felt as though my efforts were wasted.

I was consoled by the fact that at least two were doing well and rising each day. For the remaining two, I chose to apply the faith principle, believing that they would do well.

Yesterday, I took a look at them and I noticed something sprouting gradually from those two that refused to sprout initially. My heart was filled with overwhelming joy. Then the following dawned on me:

1. We must never lose sight of our visions, dreams and goals.
2. Faith is an indispensable factor for success.
3. Sometimes, our successes truly differ and have their set times.
4. Success (growth) happens internally before the results are seen externally.
5. Every due diligence is never a wasted effort.
6. Even when we’re disappointed, we should never be discouraged.

Cheers to your success!

Switch onto the future

Very recently, the world was greeted with the news of the installation of Ultra-fast electric vehicle charging systems in the United Kingdom by oil giant, British Petroleum (BP). This charging system has the semblance of the popular petrol dispensing pumps in filling stations, but in this case electric current will be dispensed to charge vehicles at a high speed, instead of the regular dispensing of petrol or diesel.

BP has for decades remained a giant with huge investments in the global oil and gas sector, but they are now teaching the world a phenomenal approach to change management by positioning strategically to seize the future.

With many countries of the world fixing timelines to end the manufacturing and use of petrol and diesel engine vehicles and begin the use of alternate sources to power vehicles, the electric car is fast and widely accepted as the car of the future.

So BP is switching so fast onto the future through its growing chargemaster’s polar network in order to remain relevant in the future beyond oil and gas.

The future is here and the change is irresistible!

Are you prepared for it?

What’s the trend in your industry and how have you planned to adapt to gain relevance?

We truly live in a fast-paced world and if you are not phenomenal, you will be left behind.

 

 

Success moves- 3 moves successful people make

As humans, it is natural to make moves. However, while certain moves tend toward our success, some others are of no significant value.

A rocking horse can be ridden back and forth. Although it moves, those moves are insignificant and with no progress.

In every game, there are moves that decide who wins and who loses. So is life. What moves are you making? The quality of your moves will determine the height of your success.

Successful people have learnt to make three moves:

1. Right moves
2. Bold moves
3. Smart moves

You should outgrow the days when you made rocking horse moves, going back and forth without advancing. Now is the time to consciously make significant progress.

Now is the time to move, upward and forward only!

A clear view to success

The windscreen of an automobile does not only provide visibility but also protects its driver and occupants. In terms of its protective role, it keeps the driver and others behind it safe from dust, rocks, insects, etc. The nature of its coating also prevents the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation on the occupants.

However, some dusty and other items may stubbornly stick to the windscreen, blurring the view of the driver and passengers. In order to keep a clear view, manufacturers of automobiles also made available the windscreen wipers: another device used to remove rain, snow, ice and debris from the windscreen. In most countries, it is a punishable offence to drive without a windscreen wiper.

This has serious implications on your journey towards success. People and circumstances will, consciously or unconsciously, attempt to blur your vision. Do you have a metaphoric windscreen together with its wipers? There are two examples of these that may help you to keep a clear vision during the course of your journey: good companions and well-documented goals.

The clearer your vision is, the brighter your picture of success will be.
