KingOfAmebo:
How would you explain the fact that on both occasions that Nigeria found herself in recessions was under one man called Buhari? He is the only Nigerian President dead or alive that has achieved this disgraceful feat.

http://www.elombah.com/index.php/opinion/10007-muhammadu-buhari-recession-it-s-1984-all-over-again

If you blame Jonathan or PDP for 2016 recession under Buhari, who would you blame for 1984 Recession under the same man Buhari? If you want Nigeria to witness a hatrick of recession then vote for Buhari in 2019 and watch your generation die of hunger.
So you mean Muhammad Buhari recessionist ee kwa? A friend of mine said if buhari isn't the cause of this recession, it means he has worst luck as a humanbeing and as a president.

Good write up and advice Op but you made a mistake somewhere by putting no 24 at the last instead of making that no 1
putting God as last option is making bad success

successful men of today cant tell you everything about how they become sucessful, thats why u cant see the kids of past head of states becoming as thier fathers were. there are things/information they cant communicate to you not even by writing

the money you save may loose its value in years to come

doth the crown enudere to every generation?

God knows the right ingredients to make you successful
so develop yourself with God first and then he will make you successful,
this is the true advice

When I got this, it was simply too good for me alone to read and be blessed! It's a MUST read for self development!

1. Make friends with successful people and occasionally buy them gift and surprise them with lunch because successful people always give and hardly get, so when you give them, they value the gift a lot.

2. Get a mentor and follow his instructions and respect the relationship. Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy.

3. Make new positive friends as often as possible and ensure you keep the communication line open. Create a network of friends and not just connections.

5. Show kindness to everyone. Some small boys today will be big boys tomorrow. The biggest dog in the neighborhood was once a puppy. And keep the information/secret to yourself.

6. Always plan ahead and be proactive. He that plans the future work less in the future.

7. Listen to speeches and messages from great teachers. Both religious and educational.

8. Attend seminars and training on any area you need to improve yourself. Train the trainer, personal development, public speaking, sales etc.

9. Have the habit of keeping a pen and a writing pad handy because ideas come in the form of flashes. The smallest pen is bigger and better than the biggest brain.

10. Make sure at every point in time you are reading a book. If you spend 20 minutes reading daily, for 52 weeks you would have consumed 1,000,000 words.

11.Stay away from television as much as possible. You can watch educational channels. Men with big TV sits in front of them to watch men with big library.

12 Put control over your mouth, never say evil of any man, what you are not certain of should not be said. Say good of all men.

13. Always show appreciation for any good deed you received.

14. Always help someone in need.

15. Live a debt free life. What you can’t pay cash for is not your size.

16. Give out loans that you can part with as gift, so that you don’t destroy your business and relationship.

17. Create legitimate multiple source of income.

18. Save at least 10 percent of your income.

19. Invest a portion of your income. And be patient to see it grow. If what you have in your hands is not good to be called a harvest then it’s a seed, sow it.

20. Keep a good financial record of all income and expenses, so you won’t ask later “where did my money go”

21. Be involved in community service. Control traffic, free lesson class for students etc.

22. Keep getting better on your daily goals and dream, develop yourself on them and make sure you get to the top 10 % of your industry.

23. Make sure you engage in exercise. It keeps your brain alert and your body fit to enjoy your success.

24. Pray often, and know that for every success, there is a stronger being that made it possible.

The first time I am seeing people who think like me.

All this talk about writing things down just makes me laugh. Truth is, know what works best for you and do it.
For me, once an idea hits me, I ponder and meditate on it for a while and its stuck - which means I can readily invoke and implement that idea on-the-go. Most of the things I write down I don't get to go back to them and when I eventually do I realise I have completely disconnected from the idea, sometimes I begin to wonder what the written notes actually mean.

Know thyself and know what works for you.., shikeeena!

Good to know there are people like me, I thought I was different.

I agree with you but that phrase should not be taken literally. it means it is better to keep take record of things rather than weary the mind to do that.

Success has no definite route or layed down principles.One million people might follow the OP's ideas and end up useless in life,while 10 people follow their own principles and end up successful.

We see people do same businesses on daily basis with same principles and very few succeeds.One man's lucky day could still be someone else's doomsday.
If Mark Zuckerberg had followed other people's principles,I doubt he would be this successful.

I indulge youths to follow their own paths which would surely lead them to their own destinies not some silly principles.

I like your reason though. But do not be too logical with your reasoning. logic does not work always, if you don't believe me.

To be successful, my mentor told me to do these three;

1. Wake up,

2. Kick ass,

3. Repeat.
