Advice For Men Of All Works Of Life. by ylordy(m): 8:50am On Jan 08, 2015 |
ALWAYS BOUNCE BACK “Learn from nature. What happens when you break a spider’s web or disturb a bird’s nest, or knock over an anthill, pilfer some honey from a beehive or take the wool off a sheep’s back or draw a pail of milk from a cow? Simply, they start afresh and begin production all over again (R.I Seymour)”. Do likewise. Bill Clinton once told George Bush (Snr.) during their election campaign in 1992, “I may be fat and ugly, but if you push me down, I keep coming back. I don’t give up. I keep coming back”. Imbibe that sprit. Come back to the game. Be a back bouncer. At the age of 67, when most men in Africa would have retired from active service, Edison Thomas, in his quest to discover commercial electricity, lost millions of dollars to the fire that razed down his factory. The following day, he wrote his friends and colleagues, “Thank God, all of our mistakes have been destroyed. In a new factory, we can start our experiment with a clean slate.” Henry Ford often says that failure is an opportunity to start again more intelligently. Get back to the battle line and stay there fighting until you win. The truth is, until your victory comes, the battle field remains the safest place to be. Failure, according to Les Brown, leaves one with two choices: get better or get bitter. Choose the former. Get better. In fact, what we call adversity, God calls opportunity (ask Joseph Jacob)! Allow that adversity to advance you. Disraeli once said, “There is no education like adversity”. Napoleon Hill puts it best, “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache, carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit”. Never look backwards. Relegate regrets to the background. You cannot move ahead when you are in reverse. Look ahead of you, then go ahead and get ahead.-ODIMA KELECHUKWU 1 Like |

Excellent motivational advice. But this is not for only men. It should be for everyone, both male and female, young and old. In fact let's teach our children this truth early in life and their success in life is already assured. Thanks OP. Duplex for sale: https://www.nairaland.com/1941142/ |
