So This thread was created a couple of years ago. Twas really interesting and all as people were dropping really profound stuffs. One Comment really got me so "Inspired" I had to save it in a Safe, Literally
Below was @wjxavier 's Answer from 2012

SlimFizel:

The taste of success, like the scent of blood to a shark, keeps me focused.
With one success, I find a thread leading to the next.
I must never lose the taste of success in my mouth.
This is why sometimes during hard times, I sometimes spend scarce cash on trips to exotic places, to window shop and get a general feel of success again.
I recall my years in LASU Ojo, when I would take limited funds and go to V.I just to walk the streets and inhale the beauty and the opulence.
Such actions always re-energize me and my dreams.
As I grew older, graduated and tasted my first success, I found I must still keep the taste of the next success in my mouth. These days, my V.I lies outside the shores. The cost is nothing compared to the immense value to be gained.
So folks, that's it for me. It may differ with you BUT this is it for me.

My fellow Nairalanders, Over to you.

What Inspires you to stay focused?

my life!!!!

yes!!!

i said.....my life!!

cos my MUM....is my LIFE!!!

The fear of poverty and having to depend on someone. Also the fear that I may not be able to give my kids a better life.

The joy of achieving a desired end. I aways picture the feeling, satisfaction which is within my reach if I could just stick with the project and see it to completion.

Another is the fear of pain of regret. I dread the pain that comes with what could have been.

This two keeps me focused.

The thought of i av 'to help ppl achieve their dreams in future' ,d thought of 'i wouldnt have to depend on anyone', d thought of 'looking back and having little regret',d thought of moi future children keeps me focus.some tyms wen i become so stressed-up,i sign and say 'dear children,mom is working so hard so u can av a very comfortable life'

I think a thread needs to be on FP
