YOU NEED PEOPLE (Part 2)

....continued from You need People!(Part 1)

WHY YOU NEED PEOPLE:

1.     No one knows it all: In life, you may know all, but one. We learn in parts and we know in parts. No human is all - knowing. There is no amount of knowledge you have now that somebody, somewhere didn't contribute to somehow. No matter how much you know, somebody still need to show you the way in some areas. The feeling that you know all is an indication that you are yet to learn. Learning extra than the ordinary is the secret of becoming extraordinary in life.

2.     You can't see your back: No matter how far you can see down the road, you can't see your back. So, somebody still needs to watch your back for you. You can't be everywhere at the same time and that's why you need somebody to speak for you, fight for you, defend you when you are not there. No matter how sensitive and meticulous you are, there are some details that you may still miss.

3.     You can't do it all: In life, you can do all, but one. If you can do all you need to do to achieve greatness, then you are not doing much.

THE JOY AND SORROWS OF YAHOO BUSINESS

INTRODUCTION

Obviously, Yahoo business is gradually becoming one of the most populous businesses today done especially through the internet.
People especially the younger generation are trooping into it every now and then. And they seem to be making fortunes from it. You see them all around with exotic cars, living big and inexpensive houses. They always show forth their flamboyance everywhere.A lot of concerns have been raised about the rate at which this business is winning the interest of the young ones.
Some condemn the business sharply while others condone it giving some reasons.
I have personally been concerned enough to take a closer look at the subject matter to understand the impact it makes on those involved either positively or negatively.

THE RISE AND FALL OF MMM IN NIGERIA:the matters arising

INTRODUCTION

MMM became fully operational in Nigeria in 2016. It was embraced my Nigerians and seen as a quicker and easier way of making money. On this ground, it spread so fast like Hammathan fire within a very short time. It dominated the internet and was the talk of the day.

THE RISE OF MMM IN NIGERIA

If you look at the Nigeria today, there are so much confusion and frustrations. You see people living with expectations unmet. People are being compared by circumstances to work extra hard in order to make both ends meet. Yet, the majority cannot afford 3 square meals a day not to talk about other life essentials.
Governmental systems are obviously not doing enough to salvage the status quo. The common man is highly marginalized and disadvantaged in the allotment and distribution of the national cake. This makes the common man so helpless and sometimes, hopeless.
Of course, you know a man can get hungry to a stage whereby he would have no choice than accept anything that promises quick relief without minding the legitimacy of the source.

YOU NEED PEOPLE (Part 3)

Who do you need in your life?

You don't necessarily need everybody, but you need someone;

1.     People who understand and accept you for who you are. Those who celebrate, build on your strength and cover up for your weaknesses. You need people that see your weak spots as opportunities for mutually benefitting investments and not people who would take advantage of your weaknesses for their selfish interests.

2.     People who are patriotic in their thinking, who judge and rate you by what you are born with and not who gave birth to you or where and when you are born.

3.     People who believe in you beyond prevailing circumstances.

4.     People who have what you need, those who can be a blessing to you in certain ways using their innate abilities. Those who would complement and complete you with their strengths.

5.     People who need what you have, who you can be a blessing to in certain ways using your innate abilities.

6.     People who could tell you what you need to hear and not just what you want to hear. These are people who are bold enough to confront you with the "bitter" truth you need to achieve greatness. Note that when you are only surrounded by people who always agree with and approve every one of your moves, desires, ideas and opinions, then your fall is imminent.
7- The company of highfliers: When you are surrounded by high fliers and high achievers,you would one day become one.

8- Those who would be there for you even when it is not convenient and when you are not there.
9. those who are too busy for empty gossips anbackbitingng. If you join them to put others down, one day, they will join other people too to put you down when. Remember, what goes around, comes around.

YOU NEED PEOPLE (Part 1)

Nothing substantial, either good or evil has been achieved outside the platform of relationships. The greatest breakthroughs as well as breakdowns that have happened to mankind have been made possible on the ground of stable relationships whereby two or more like minds connect and commune together to pursue a common goal. 
When people come together to pursue a common cause, their spectrum of resourcefulness is widened and they become better equipped to achieve what a single person could not achieve alone.

In life, no matter your level of physical, spiritual, mental, material and otherwise capacities, you still need people to achieve greater fortunes.

WHY YOU NEED PEOPLE

1.     No one has it all: In life, you may have all, but one. No matter whom you are, what and how much you have, there is still somebody somewhere that has what you don't have but which you need as you live. If what you have by yourself is just enough to achieve all your dreams, then your dreams are too small. Your dreams should be bigger than what you can achieve all alone. This is what stretches you to grow extra and bigger than the ordinary.

YOUR QUOTA

Every human being on earth is loaded with potentials to solve the problems of humanity. The fact that there are problems all around is an indication that there are solutions only that they lie somewhere in the hearts of men. Each of us carries pockets and packets of medicines to heal the pains of humanity. We are all born to birth something new the world has not seen.

There is a time to be born and a time to die, in between is a time to live and fulfill destiny, but how you live matters. While some live to become inventors of new ideas, models and concepts to better the lots of humanity, others spend a bulk of their lives as spectators - just watching what others have invented. In the cinema house, while some are on stage and behind the stage making things happen, others are comfortably seated before the stage watching things happen.

Usually, by the principle of interdependence, the beauty of one person or profession is meant to be enjoyed by others, yet you must contribute your quota. You can't just be going from one sphere to another enjoying what other people have done without being challenged to add your own. A lot of potentials are being wasted on excuses.

MAKE A NAME OUT OF THE SHAME

       In the production industry, the raw material does not look as beautiful and valuable as the finished product. There are times the raw materials may not even make sense seeing them at the beginning until they have passed through the production process to form the desired product. 
At times, the final product which comes out of the production room as a whole entity was once in scattered pieces until they were assembled and logically organized in a form that is later regarded and valued as a product worth paying for.

JUST TAKE IT EASY

Have you imagined how in the process of following our drives with passion,we at times drive ourselves off track? We drive too fast and out of fuel without knowing it.

SUCCESS VISA (Part Ten)

Continued from Part Nine....

3.   The Attitude of Faith and Perseverance: Indeed, greatness comes with a lot of challenges and confrontations. There are a lot of battles you fight even when you don't expect to fight. You even fight with yourself at times. You struggle with some attitudes, weaknesses, addictions, obsessions and proclivities. At times you struggle between various options to make sensitive decisions. There are times you may need to step out of your comfort zone when you are not even too sure of survival in the new jungle you are stepping into.

SUCCESS VISA (Part Nine)

Continued from Part Eight....

1.  The attitude of honesty and integrity: If you look around the world today, there is so much confusion everywhere. The sense of morality and values are increasingly being lost. You see people trying to fake it in a bid to make it. You see people playing games in order to make names in the society. Betrayals, backstabbing, breach of contracts, manipulations, and maneuverings, corruption and all sort of societal vices plaguing humanity. You see people offering substandard products and services packaged in well-beautified containers all in a bid to make more profit. They run over people in a bid to increase their turn over. There is deception everywhere and it is now very difficult to know who to trust. People now dealing with high level of skepticism, suspicion, and distrust all because of where we've found ourselves as a society.

SUCCESS VISA (Part Eight)

V - Vision

I - Initiative

S - Sacrifice

A - Attitude

A - Attitude: Indeed, attitude is everything. Your attitude will either launch you to high altitudes in life or place you in perpetual servitude. You mold your attitudes to mold your future. Success or failure is a product of attitude. Once you get it right with your attitudes, success is in view.

Let's take time to X-ray some of these attitudes required for success.

1.  The attitude of humility: Greatness comes in bits, in installments. It comes from doing many small things greatly per time. It comes by laying many small bricks on each other until a whole building is formed. Success is the cumulative result of taking small steps daily towards the achievement of a bigger dream. To succeed in life, you may be required to start very small at times. You may be required to play on a very low key until you've gathered enough momentum to pitch and this requires absolute humility and patience.
