Thanks for the time. Its MY belief that separation of powers, as far as our system us concerned, isn't actually practised though it exists in principle.

from my own POV, it is being practised just that the categories of people placed in all the spheres of power shares the same ideology: CORRUPTION
if its not practised trust me Nigeria would be a lot worse, we won't even have the effrontery to complain like we do now.

How laziness saved my life - - By Okechukwu Ofili anyone read this book?

dearpreye:


Hmmm. ....I just downloaded that book a few hours ago. It's a HUGE material but I'm sure the rewards will far outweigh the time and efforts needed to digest a book of such volume.

I'll be glad if you could train me on how to write a book. I'm sure I have at least one in me. Thanks.

Sure! It's a great read. I bought the 3 volumes of it in 2006, and since then, it has become one of my most priceless possessions. If it's true that Napoleon Hill was one of the best writers to have graced this planet earth, and I believe it is, then that book is one of the best books anyone can find.

Hahaha, I'm flattered. Dear preye, you are good with words. You are already a good writer. May be, you are talking about "writing books", which requires just you having a story/knowledge and the desire to pass it on to your world.

My brother, the book with you is not just knowledge imbued, it is also a good book-writing coach. It will give you a story and the desire to pass it on. Please believe.

Have you read "the original" Think and Grow Rich, written by Napoleon Hills himself?

Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon is the one I'm reading NOW. I'm on the chapter on the Subconscious. It's being awesome so far.

Yes. I'm talking about writing BOOKS. LOL!

I've not even heard of hitherto. Where have you been? Good to read from YOU.

been good ooooo and you. I must say have missed you and ur posts

When first I read the above message of yours, I thought I fully grasped the import of the message, but reading it once again this afternoon reinforced its import more, especially with your last paragraph.

I'm currently foraying into motivational speaking and personal development. In the past months I've soaked up such materials and videos on the subject that I appear inundated with the relevant skills and knowledge needed to succeed and thrive in the field. At the same time, the significant improvements I've witnessed in MY life are impressing on my heart the desire to write a book. I believe every human has at least ONE book in them.

Yeah, every life is a story. We are all books. I am sure, with the desire in you, you'll write a great book. Good enough, you are already gathering knowledge. The doors of knowledge are open to those who read. Though they are opened by those who write.

Motivational speaking; an art I so much love. I have seen and read much of the great public speaking books around, from those of Dele Carnegie to those of Lari King. Believe me, the best I have seen is The Art of Public Speaking, by Stephen Lucas. Find it, and thank me later.

I'm happy you're strong. I've been writing and reading a lot lately BUT you've not available to edit, add and guide. All the same, you've been a blessing to ME. You all made this thread a success.

Thanks once again. Yes. We all are books; we've NOT just believed enough in ourselves.

I'll try that Stephen Lucas book. I believe if our desire to impact others is so deep and burning, we will surely find a way to express it through whatever means available. Like an erupting volcano, the white hot lava couldn't be kept underneath forever. I will surely find expression.

A colleague arranged me to speak about these issues to a team of NYSC folks in the coming days. Lemme see how it goes.

I am currently reading a book by claudia carroll titled "remind me again why I need a man".It is books like this that make me the more addicted to chicklit novels.It makes a very funny read but yet full of thought provoking themes on what a single woman faces in every area of her life.I am halfway through it and can authoritatively say that the author is one hell of a writer.You can download it here if you are into chicklits. http://bookos-z1.org/s/?q=remind+me+again+why+I+need+a+man&e=1&t=0

Just keep the spirit. Let it become your habit. It's our habits that determine our values, which in turn determine our future. You lose NOTHING by reading a book.

I am currently reading INTENSITY by Dean Koontz. It is simply marrafakn.

I don't want it to finish.

I stopped reading novels for more than 10 years. What a fool.

I will pay you money to read Intensity, and maybe False Memory...

My God, Intensity is, for lack of words, is INTENSE!

My brother, I dey tell you.

But this one is not as creepy as it is intensely immersive and SUSPENSEFUL.

And to cap it, he's just 'flexing' with English. Such mastery.

Nothing supernatural in this one. However, the antagonist, Edgler Foreman Vess, is probably the MADDEST character ever created.

Intense...

Good morning everyone. Just finished Cashflow Quadrant by Robert Kiyosaki. The four group of people that make up the quadrant are the E, employees, S, self employed, B, business owners, and I, Investors. The E and S make up the left side of the quadrant while the B and I make up the right hand side of the quadrant.

The Es and Ss are those who are actively involved in making their money. That is, they are people who exchange their time and skills for money. And they're those whose money depends on others. They're always broke, not minding how much money or salaries they earn every month.

On the other hand, the Bs and Is are the wealthy folks. Their money works for them even when they are asleep or on a vacation. These are the mega rich.

It was a great read. It changed my mind est towards money. And it has encouraged me to take very quickly steps that will place me on my journey from the left hand side of the quadrant to the right.

Let's face it,the world is constantly changing-no big surprise there- but the sheer pace of change can be staggering confusing and downright terrifying at times. Richard Branson

Its a must read for today's upcoming entrepreneurs. Its a book that contains interviews of CEOs of some of the world's biggest organizations. It discussed how the CEOs balance and adapt their their own lives and the company direction in the face of globalisation and technology and the personal and organisational sacrifices to achieve their goals.

I just downed The Racketeer and Theodore Boone by John Grisham...I don't enjoy" motivationals and how to" books...am dealing everything John Grisham at the moment and its been a fantastic time out

Quite impressive and quite uncommon for a Nigerian to not be interested in personal motivation books but rather keen on deeper knowledge-enriching novels that enhance the reader's imagination capacity.
Bravo.
You definitely have what MizMyColi called "sapiosexualism"

Yeah, I guess so.
