If your phone doesn’t update its settings regularly, it will crash. Updates are necessary because knowledge is not static. You will crash in life if you stop reading after you graduate. Update your knowledge regularly by reading and you wont crash. |
The best teacher I ever had are ants. The work HARD. They work SMART. They work TOGETHER. And because of these 3 traits, they never go hungry. Learn from ants and you too will never suffer lack in life. Money follows smart hard work like its shadow. |
What a humble man. Nigeria democracy has lost something. |
You dont have to remain poor. There are things you can do to escape poverty. Eg, there is ALWAYS a market for meat. Buy a hen or a goat. It will give birth. Let its offsprings grow. Sell them and gradually escape poverty. Often, poverty is a choice. |
You cant find opportunity in yesterday. Opportunity begins with o, and o exists only in today and tomorrow. Don’t regret the failures of your past. Prepare for the successes in your future. Change your understanding of NO to mean Next Opportunity. |
Money is not something you just PRAY for, or something you WISH for, or something you FAST for. God gave you a brain and 2 hands so you can MAKE money. If in the process of making money you encounter problems, then your prayers will move mountains. |
You will spend an average of 8 days working for about 40 years, So you better ensure you get a job or business you like, otherwise, you will hate your life. That is why I encourage people to use their talents to create their perfect job or business. |
What will people say? What will people think? Those words make people take very poor choices. The sad thing is that people will still say what they want. Just do what is right before God’s eyes and your sight, because they will still talk about you. |
Success is subjective. Don’t allow society, parents, or peers, define it for you. Define your success and decide how you are going to achieve it. When you achieve it, those who define success will update their dictionary to accommodate your success. |
You dont remember your spare tyre out of love. You remember it because one of your 4 main tyres is punctured. Anyone who calls out of the blues, then talks to you for 10 minutes, before suddenly remembering a request has found their spare tyre: YOU |
Learn to be comfortable with silence. Don’t feel awkward in moments of silence that you say something to end the silence. That is when you say things you later deeply regret. If the silence is bothering you, play with your phone, or simply leave! |
The end result of education is not to speak good English. The end result is to increase your productivity. Yes, your English is good. But, is your productivity good? A wealthy and productive dropout is more relevant than a broke, unproductive PhD. |
Many illiterates are richer than professors because what you know is not as important as what you do with what you know. Similarly, if hard work automatically led to wealth, laborers will be billionaires. Smart work, not hard work, is key to wealth. |
Ants will always be attracted to sugar, but they also leave when they have finished the sugar. Be wise. Don't marry a human ant. A person who will only stay married to you while you are sweetly buoyant, and will walkout when you are bitterly broke. |
Ladies, Never let your age define your value. Don’t listen to those who say you have no value because you are 40 and unmarried. You are a woman. A woman is a refined man. You are like wine. The older wine gets, the more valuable it becomes! |
Never respond to those who criticize your looks. God is your Manufacturer. Your Manufacturer will defend His product. You have control over your character, but God has control of your looks, gender, race and the time, date and place of your birth. |
Education shouldn’t end at school. That thinking is why many are poor even with degrees. You aren’t educated just to get a job. There‘s nothing like job security. You can be fired. It‘s not your father's property. The only Security is your business. |
When you accept that education is a process that continues until you are in the grave, you can’t be poor. If you evaluate your life, you will see that it is the education you gained outside school that is more relevant to your progress in life. |
Working hard isn't necessarily a virtue. God gave you a brain to help you work smart and save you from laborious hard work. Starting your own business is risky. So is driving, yet you still drive. Dont focus on the risk. Focus on the possibilities. |
Before you invest in shares, real estate and bonds, invest in yourself by reading and learning about them. Even Scripture says "my people perish from lack of knowledge”-Hos 4:6. Lack of knowledge will kill you. Read books and live, and even thrive. |
The reason they call putting money in banks SAVING is because you save the bank, not yourself. Invest money, dont save it. None of those on Forbes rich list have savings. Their net worth is a calculation of their assets, not their cash in the bank. |
Opportunity is like war. You cant prepare for war or opportunity when you see them, or you lose. Prepare now, before they come. How are you preparing for opportunity during CoronaVirus pandemic by watching TV 24/7. Opportunity is ready. Are you? |
Your great grandparents never had smartphones or smart TVs yet they were happy, so what is your excuse for not being happy? Stop tying your happiness to the attainment of wealth. That is an evil philosophy. Many villagers are poor, yet happy. |
As a man thinks, so is he’-Proverbs 23:7. The state of your thoughts determines the state of your life. If you want to be a success, start thinking of yourself as a success. Your spiritual thoughts attract the physical success you desire in life. |
If inflation rate is 1%, banks will give you a savings rate of 0.5%. You will be happy, thinking your money is growing. In reality, it is depreciating. Don’t be their fool. Invest in something that yields an interest higher than the inflation rate! |
There is no SECRET to success. There is rather a PROCESS for success. I assure you that if you faithfully follow the process listed in Psalm 1:1-3, success will be yours. That Scripture contains the law of PROCESS that leads to PROGRESS and SUCCESS. |
Dont conform to this world. Follow passion, not fashion. Read Scripture. During the day ponder what you read. Apply Scripture you read in real life situations. When you do, God will bless your natural efforts so that they yield supernatural results. |
Dont go from Twitter to facebook to IG to Snapchat all day. Set aside time to be still, so God can speak to you. Many of us are too distracted by social media for God to speak with us. Even our dreams are disturbed by the alerts from our phones. |
The more the arrow bends backwards the further it flies. The more setbacks you face the more progress awaits you ahead. If life was perfect, you wouldn’t learn and you will not grow. Remember that what Satan intended for evil, God intends for good! |
Two things you must endure if you want rainbows in your life, rain and mud. A successful man must endure haters and critics. Only fake sugar does not attract ants. If you are successful and you don’t have enemies, you need to question your success. |
Know where you money is going. Keep a list of what you spend daily if you want to be more discipline with your money. Control money. Don't let it control you. Don't let spending money get you excited. Learn to derive excitement from investing money. |
Praying to God for success without making a plan is stupidity, not faith. It is impossible to become successful without a plan. No matter how big your salary is, don’t depend on it. Work for your boss during work hours. Work on your plan after work. |
