There is no competition in Destiny.

As we plan for 2024 let’s consider this piece by Ben Carson. Read, glean and implement!

“I was jogging this morning and I noticed a person about 1/2 a kilometer ahead. I could tell he was running a little slower than me and I thought, good, I shall try to catch him.

I had about a kilometer before I needed to turn off. So I started running faster and faster.
Every block, I was gaining on him just a little bit. After just a few minutes I was only about 100 meters behind him, so I really picked up the pace and pushed myself. You would have thought I was running in the last leg of an Olympic competition. I was determined to catch him.

Finally, I did it! I caught and passed him. On the inside, I felt so good. "I beat him"
Of course, he didn't even know we were racing. After I passed him, I realized I had been so focused on competing against him that I had missed my house.
I had gone nearly six blocks past my house and I had to turn and go back.

Isn't that what happens in life when we focus on competing with co-workers, neighbors, friends, family, trying to outdo them or trying to prove that we are more successful or more important?

We spend our time and energy running after them and we miss out on our own paths to our God-given destinies.

The problem with unhealthy competition is that it's a never ending cycle. There will always be somebody ahead of you, someone with a better job, nicer car, more money in the bank, more education, a prettier wife, a more handsome husband, better behaved children, etc.

However, realize that "You can be the best that you can be, when you are not competing with anyone."
Some people are insecure because they pay too much attention to what others are, where others are going, wearing and driving.

Take what God has given you, the height, weight and personality. Dress well and wear it proudly, you'll be blessed by it.
Stay focused and live a healthy life.

Copied!
Good evening...!!!

It's a new year and I'm excited as usual,
What have you captioned your year?
What slogan did your church produce?

I've come to realize that as you proclaim things, your life follows the direction of your words!

So I'd like to see your new year slogans in the comments section 😆

Me: It's my eureka year!!!

I was honored to be a keynote speaker in the Food Safety Training Training, organized by and Alliance for youth Nigeria.

The session tagged: CRAFTING YOUR PATH TO SUCCESS exposed a comprehensive guide to CV/Resume writing and Interview preparation.

The participants were excited to have me talk to them as they asked every possible question that was within reach.

During our discussion, we touched every nook and crannies of Resume/CV writing, we demystified the scariest of interview questions, we cited real life examples and common pitfalls to avoid when interacting with HR Professionals, we talk salary negotiation and company background checks.

The session was wrapped up with personal branding and the mention of LinkedIn Profile Optimization in order to be taken seriously as a professional in the digital space.

I want to thank the organizers, , Alliance For Youths, Uche A*o and the attendees like: Yeside Okedeji and Blessing Anebi for the opportunity to share knowledge with young folks building their careers in a digital world.

HAPPY NEW MONTH
December vibes cannot be underestimated, it is something felt globally, it's a heated season where everybody's festive gene seems to be dominant!
Being my month of birthday (I rep 26th), one can easily say the reason I've got high spirited vibes isn't farfetched. LoL
I particularly love December, I love Christmas 🎄, I love how individuals, organizations, businesses and religious groups choose to round up the year on a festive note
I love the partying, the dettying, the travelling and the arrivals.
I love it when most people are out of town and a mega city like Lagos becomes very easy to navigate with no traffic congestion.
Asides good food, Christmas ⛄🎁 carols and musicals make this season thick.
Christmas, the mother of holidays ❣️ is here, I won't just dwell on the festivities, but would also celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Saviour of mankind who died, was buried, resurrected, ascended and is seated at the right of the Father.
The coming of the God-man, the man Christ makes December very difficult to ignore or forget. The celebration of The Lord Jesus Christ alone makes the real Christmas for me
Allow me to welcome 😁🤗 you to a beautiful ❤️ December!

3+7 = 10
So likewise 4+6 and 8+2 ....

We may arrive at a single result using different approaches, what matters is what works!,

Is your approach working? Does it counter laid down guidelines and principles? Does it kick against your belief system?

Does something else work better? Can you alter anything to make it better?

If your approach is sacrosanct, will it fetch you the desired results?

There's a high demand for flexibility in the methodologies deployed for achieving common daily goals.

Be a team player with yourself and adapt to possible change of tactics and approaches!

Have a beautiful Week!!

Influence goes either way, either positive or negative,
The impact of the latter has presented us with a very chaotic world,

We are saddled with the responsibility of changing the narrative and becoming sources of positive impacts in our world

It all starts from that tiny place or little cornier you're occupying

We can only tell of your impact when we get to hear and see what you did in other's lives not necessarily what you've done with yourself

Be a positive influence today!

Happy International Men's Day to all the men on this planet!!!
The world would have been a very boring and unindustrious place without us.

Kindly note that your masculinity is an avenue to cater for others and preserve destinies as fathers or potential daddies, and not for bullying.

Our kind might not get the proper attention or accolades we deserve but when we get it right, homes, families, organizations, industries and government units remain at equilibrium

Please keep up the good work and stay blessed as 'The good Man'

Green Mondays are special days for deliberately shopping GREEN, it's not just about spending on your favorite toys or clothes. It's a day when we try to buy things that don't hurt the Earth. Instead of choosing things that make a lot of trash or pollution, we pick things that are good for the planet.

On Green Mondays, we look for products from companies that care about nature. It's like telling those companies, "Hey, we like it when you make things that don't make the Earth sad." The word is sustainable development

We also think about how things are packaged. If your favorite toy comes in a box that can be recycled, that's awesome! We want to be friends with the Earth, so we try not to make too much garbage.

Green Monday is not just about buying things; it's also a day to learn. We find out how to be nice to the Earth every day, not just on special days. It's like a big team effort to keep our planet happy and healthy. So, when we shop on Green Monday, we're like Earth's superheroes!

Life cycle...

What do we call dis picture in a summary 🤔

09/11/2023

Wikipedia says that Soft skills; also known as power skills, common skills, essential skills, or core skills, are skills applicable to all professions.

The month of October was wrapped up with these trainings facilitated by The NQtac team in my organization.

The importance of teamwork, communication and conflict management cannot be overemphasized in the hospitality sector.

I learned about verbal and nonverbal communication, conflict resolution, teamwork, internal and external guests.

I appreciate the efforts put in by the organizers and the facilitators to execute this, kudos to The George Lagos and Fairstay Investment Limited.

Welcome to another week of possibilities, it begins with the mindset, it envelops the day and affects every moment of that week

What's possible is what's been clearly defined.
What's possible is what's been planned.
What's possible is what is acceptable.
What's possible is what's been worked for
What's possible is what's been clearly given due attention.
What's possible is the results of a diligent study.
What's possible is what you put tin the work for
What's possible is starts with YOU!

Try making it possible by not being impossible yourself!

To be exceptional is to be a little better than the ordinary, to show something slightly different from the status quo.
The dictionary says: it is to be much greater than usual, especially in skill, intelligence, quality

The quality of life can always improve, if we put in the work to deliberately swing it from whatever state it is to a better one,
Jobs can be done exceptionally,
People can be treated better
Children can be raised very well
Bosses can provide a better form of leadership
Relationships can spring forth better results
Marriages can last longer
Messages from pulpits can be more effective in the lives of the listeners
Teachers can produce better students
Nations can have better bilateral relations
Health conditions can always be better
Good governance is possible and achievable

Lets consciously keep to the paths of doing things better
Enjoy the rest of your week!

FOR CREATIVES

Many people do not rate writers because they think writing is easy, LOL. You will hear them say, "Is it not just to write?"

The fact that someone posts on Facebook does not make that person a writer!!!

Those creative guys cannot survive without writers, but writers can survive without them. (I said what I said)

The Texts can stand on its own!!!
But Graphics needs text to make sense, and videos need texts to be created; so TEXTS is their boss but because it appears to be a very simple guy, "them no dey rate am".

Anyways, at my previous workplace, I was hired as a Content Writer which meant that I wrote everything that went out:
I wrote captions for social media,
I wrote blogposts,
I wrote copies for graphics and videos,
I wrote push notifications,
I wrote announcements,
I wrote greeting messages,
I wrote texts for Apps,
I wrote copies for Ads,
I wrote and wrote as much contents as possible....

Before anything written goes out, I had to vet it and give it my magic touch and blessing, else it goes nowhere.

If I do not submit texts to the IT guys, nothing moves. I was that important.

By the way, I design and create videos too, so it helps me make life easy for the creative guys. I understand that graphics do not need plenty text so I will not submit long and irrelevant briefs. I gave them only the information they needed to work with.

It's Nigeria at 63,
Happy birthday Naija!

And we're delighted to wish our dear nation a happy independence day.

We have many reasons not to celebrate today, and likewise we have multitude of reasons to stay excited about our oneness as a nation

Gratitude is the only attitude to imbibe at this point, and to move forward we have to be grateful for the little wins as a nation.

We are Nigerians
We are grateful
We are relentless
We strive for More

We are committed to building a great nation where peace and justice shall reign.

22 Years Later, and we did this …!

It took about 24 months of planning with so many failed attempts at the shots we took previously at this,
For me it was a perfect way to wrap up a weekend, the high points of this, includes the beautiful memories that would linger for the rest of our lives.

I was privileged to be a part of the planning committee for this long awaited reunion event, for my former classmates; boys and girls became moms and dads,

Victory Grammar School class of 2001 convened as distinguished guests at Presken Hotel, Opebi, Ikeja to host ourselves and to have a very pertinent conversations that would foster our growth and corporate social
responsibilities to our former secondary school.

I havent danced in a while, but learnt some moves from Oluwaseyi Akintunde Johnson, and Ayo Onarinde

I strongly believe that our coming together to have a physical meet would birth new opportunities and strengthen our bonds, the ideas in these sessions if fully implemented would outlive us all and be a great legacy to our children.

Please reach out to your former classmates and organize yours

Lots of you don't like MONDAYS 😕

I gerrit, there's this subtle tension that builds up due to a long weekend of untouched files, pauses projects, incomplete reports, and most these would call for meetings (both virtually and physically)

I personally learned how to strategize and make the most of my Mondays, and somehow it became my best day of the week 😁

Before you jump into conclusion, I'm still and employee, I still do a 9-5 to wages, so I don't have absolute control of my time. So when I made Mondays my best says of the week, it was borne out of passion to add value and deliver strategic results.

Every overwhelming tasks in your workplace or business place can be subdued by breaking the big picture into smaller bits. Don't be afraid of reassigning too, because you cannot save the world... Jesus already did Lol 😆

Taking steps to do tasks one step at a time would get you to your destination, donth forget that it's the little consistent efforts that really count!
