This material uses the most pragmatic approach in addressing every day life in the most simplest fashion.

1. 1

2. “Whenever you want to achieve something, keep
your eyes open, concentrate and make sure you
know exactly what it is you want. No one can hit
their target with their eyes closed.”
― Paulo Coelho

3. FOCUS
The lion is known for its focus and its power of
concentration. Even amidst the herd of its prey,
the lion sets its target on just one member of the
herd and it stays focused on it, till it brings it
down. The lion is never wavering or distracted by
any means to change focus when it made up its
mind.
Such is the power of steadfastness. If a mere
beast could dispel distraction and display such
single mindedness that is sharp enough to bring
down its prey, you possess much more power to
control unwarranted indecisions and distractions
and achieve your desires without wavering. Only
you can decide what is most important per time.
Now, your desire is one more important thing in
your life that will not be achieved unless you
remain steadfast.

4. “You are never too old to set another goal or
to dream a new dream.”
― C.S Lewis

5. Get a Dream
No man is worth living if he’s got nothing
worth dying for. If before reading this
material you've got nothing you’re willing
to exchange a piece of your life with then
you’re merely existing! No great man is
made out of little thinking.
Until you allow what you are willing to
possess become a driving force you are
not living well enough. Today let your
passion become an action that stretches
you towards what you desire.
Do you know that our greatest inspiration
comes from the want of what we lack?
However, they are not always far from
what we can have if we allow them start
even as little as a dream- Remember, if
you can dream it, you can reach it.

6. “There is no failure except in no longer trying.”
― Elbert Hubbard

7. Keep On…
You never know how close you are when you
permit the stinking thinking of giving up rip you of
your prize.
There can’t be a more memorable time in the
world to cease than when the world attend your
funeral and affirms this assertively of you, ‘Here
rest a man who did all his best.’ All you need to
beat the best records most times is a little than it
takes to make.
Every athlete on the track knows that they are a
micro second away from breaking existing records.
Most times, what stands between a man and a
record breaking feat is just 1/60th of a second….life
expect you to hold on.
Whatever field you find yourself, keep on, keeping
on; it’s just a little more that is required to beat
the status quo and live above the usual routine.

8. “It's always to soon to quit!”
― Norman Vincent Peale

9. Try Again
The cheetah is the fastest land animal. The
swiftness of the cheetah cannot be undermined
and even when it seems running, it aren’t, the
cheetah is usually close to flying! When running
the fore and hind limbs of the cheetah is moving
at closely same time , often twice as the prey’s.
Combined with a powerful vision, the cheetah is
a near never miss hunter, yet it still misses.
But each time it misses, the cheetah does not
give up. It retreat to its ambush to re-launch.
What a great lesson to learn from this terrific
animal.
Don’t allow what appears as a temporary set-
back run you down and drown your willpower.
Get fired up and try again. You never know how
much you’ve learnt from a fall until you try
again.

10. ‘The ultimate measure of a man is not where he
stands in moments of comfort and convenience,
but where he stands at times of challenge and
controversy’- Martin Luther King. Jr.

11. Rows
The only time in the world fitting enough to build
sustaining character is when your expectations face
difficulties that alters your suitable outcomes.
What are you going through presently-adversity,
bitterness, sickness, worry, pain….name it. You
never know who you’re –strong or weak until such
situations introduces you to your true self. Bill
Vaughan observed, ‘In the game of life, its a good
idea to have a few early losses which relieves you
of the pressure of trying to maintain an undefeated
season.’
Now, it is not such seasons that defeats you, in fact
such painful experiences do not break you, such
times groom you and give you sustaining strength
to reach the hallmark of your designated purpose.
In truth, the highest end of your life does not truly
manifest until you have conquered some serious
agonizing battles….that’s the way all champions are
made.

12. ‘When I look back on all these worries, I remember the
story of the old man who said on his death bed that he had
had a lot of trouble in his life, most of which never
happened’- Winston Churchill

13. Looking Back?
One of the great books I’ve read is the bible. In one
of its records, it record the event of God parting
the Red Sea before the Israelites. As amazing as the
miracle, the Israelites also did their own part, they
took a bold step by crossing over.
Whatever lies ahead of you is already a parted
sea,…hesitations and worries on past failures are
uncalled for otherwise you may make the error of
withdrawing from a readily accomplished task that
requires your determination to superintend.
There is no mistake as great as putting a question
mark where God already puts a full stop. There is
no standing still where God already marks a
moving on. What is required of you is to identify
the honour that you seek and put up a bold face to
secure it regardless of the oddities.

14. ‘Life’s tragedy is that we get old too soon and
wise too late’- Benjamin Franklin

15. This Defies it…
To a lame man the law of gravity simply put is anything
that goes up must come down. Interestingly not your
age! No one is growing younger regardless of the
decorative walls of cosmetics. You waste consummate
time if you fall in the category of those who still have
not found the champion in themselves.
Don’t end up being the man everyone around ask,
‘What purpose you sincerely live for?’ only to leave
them wondering at your funeral, ‘What one decision
you made that made some sort of unusual difference?’
Sternly, you may not live long as much as you may have
anticipated; at least nobody live.
Live so much, so long with as much courage to make
your life worth the while. Make purposeful decisions
now, take a bold step. For this reason Henri Frederic
advised, ‘For purpose of action nothing is more useful
than narrowness of thought combined with energy of
will.’ Give your life a taste no one can resist.

16. ‘The insatiable thirst for everything which lies
beyond, and which life reveals ,is the most living
proof of our immortality’- Charles Baudelaire

17. Be Thirsty
Imagine you’ve just returned home from a
scorching sun, opening the fridge, you found no
water. Heavily dehydrated, you get to the
closest shop hoping to get water and you were
told the last one have just been sold and almost
everywhere you get to, same scenario
prevails….until one final move when you finally
got one, even at an exorbitant price.
Just like you don’t wait in your room for the
water to come, just like you stooped at nothing
to get it, just like you don’t even mind the
choking price…just in same vein….don’t wait,
stop at nothing and don’t mind the sacrifice to
reach your desire.
Your life is what you make it and you must
never allow what you desire be at the mercy of
your challenges. The water paradox is
instructive, get thirsty.

18. ‘Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be
made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life;
define yourself.’- Harvey Fierstein

19. Are you a FOOL?
I did not ever remember God creating a fool! Your
success is not and will never be tied to the singular
discretion of some people’s opinion of you. People
who can hardly see through their stained glasses
should not tell you how unclean your life looks-May
be they should blame the medium through which
they see you.
Set timely, well laid goals. Be proactive and guide
your outcomes with well thought out plans. Your
success is reaching the maximum potential available
to you at any given point. Success has got little or
nothing to do with a dream that is achieved through
impulse alone. Your ability to repeat a feat through
well guided arrangements makes you a master of
the act.
The only fool I happen to remember; I attended his
funeral last night and I’m sure you are not the one.
The world awaits your reckoning- Don’t disappoint.

20. ‘A life spent making mistakes is not only more
honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing
nothing’- George Bernard Shaw

21. Mistakes or Failure
Failure: Quitting an inch to success.
Mistakes: Putting a square peg in a round hole.
Supposedly to me, a mistake is still a little progress
than an outright surrender. At least a mistake is
learning one more way it can’t work than stopping
to learn outrightly.
When you make a mistake, there are three things
you should ever do about it- 1. Admit it 2. Learn
from it. 3. Don’t repeat it. Failure is like suicide- a
permanent solution to a temporary situation. With
failure you now reach total stoppage, while
mistake gives you a chance to pick up the pieces.
You learn more from mistakes- You learn how
many ways of how not to do what you seek to
achieve and just one way to doing it. Make more
mistakes- progress is assured with each one than
outright resignation
