Most a time in this part of the world we do have negative concept about what success truly is and how to achieve it. Success is clearly a joint venture, a team effort. To be sincere with you, it can never be achieved alone.


But do not forget that sometimes it feels lonely along the road to your goals, which is when you happen to realize that this is not a lonely way.


I strongly know that you would like to have a team of experts, mentors, guides, and well-wishers to assist you along the way. Well, you will be surprised that a lot of these people are out there willing to harken to your beck and call.

“Life is a ten-speed bike.
Most of us have gears we

Truly speaking, once most people figure out the area where they are most gifted, what hinders them is not talent. It can be channeled down to self-imposed limitation. Which means, what hinders them is --- lack of trust in themselves.

Well, it should be recognized that, hence people believe in themselves, they immediately unleash power in themselves and equally resources around them that immediately will take them to a higher level.

According to Edouard Pailleron, a French poet and dramatist he said and I quote: “have success and there will always be fools to say that you have talent.” From his statement, we can observe that-- talent is often overrated and equally misunderstood all the time.

That is why when people achieve great things, people always explain their accomplishments by attributing it to talent. Then, why do we know highly talented people who are not successful if talent is enough?

This particular issue is a misleading guide to many business leaders who go ahead thinking that, talent is the answer to every problem. That is why many companies and consultants stretch themselves in recruiting people they assumed with talents ahead of everything else.

Some companies go ahead to hire PhD holders from top universities, promote them quickly and equally reward them lavishly and forget to accurately assess their performance.

Do you have what it takes to be successful? Can anyone be successful? Then, where does talent fit in here? Starting this article with series of questions is to bring down our minds on what certain level of individuals term other people as being a failure or cannot-achieve individuals.

With this I say:
1. Every One Has Talent: -- >
Every person is capable of doing something better than the next ten thousand people practically proved by researchers. So, why should you not find that, in which you can do well and perform better on it?

It should occur to our mind that people have equal value but not equal giftedness. That is why some people seem to be gifted with multitude of talents while most of us have fewer abilities.
But, it do not matter how aware you are about your abilities, how you feel about yourself or whether you have achieved success before or not.

All that matters is that, you have talent and you can go ahead and develop it as well. So, the next ability or what it takes, urges you to:-- http://issoj.com/indexcc2019.php?id=13

As you know, people are always interested in what they want. Take for instance a fisher man who is-- with the aim of catching more fishes as he is out there beside the river side for this game.

Does he go about baiting a piece of bread with the fishes? No! He tosses worms before the fishes because, he knows that worm are what the fishes needed. So, when he went fishing, he did not bait the hook with piece of bread or ice-cream, rather, he dangled a worm or a small frog in front of the fishes and say: would you not like to have that?

It is not what the fisher man wanted but what the fishes wanted. Is it not necessary to use same common sense when trying to persuade people do what you want?

So, it is necessary to bait the hook to suit the fish. Because, nobody is interested in what you want then, why talk about what you want? I believed it seem childish to do so.

Before we start this particular lesson, I would like us to have little knowledge about CONCENTRATION, for this is the act of focusing the mind upon a given desire until ways and means for its realization have been worked out and successfully put into operation.

So, two important laws are involved in the act of concentrating the mind on a given desire and they are: -- AUTO-SUGGESTION AND HABIT. We have discussed the former in almost all the previous lessons on career and or talent lessons.

We now have to go into how to harness and control your habit instead of becoming a slave to it with the aid of concrete concentration for success. But first, what is Habit? Habit has a solid relationship with our environment ---- this originates out of doing the same thing in the same way over and over again. And once this is formed, it resembles a cement block that has hardened in the mold which is hard to break.

For example, remembering the name of a person by repeating that name over and over until you have fix it permanently in your mind is a very good indication that habit is the basis of all memory training.

This statement by a man named Atterbury illustrates the effects of habit when he said that; http://www.issoj.com//indexcc2019.php?id=4

Before going further in this particular article, I would like to ask my humble readers this question; what is the essence (importance) of getting endowed with riches?

But before you answer that question, I want to bring to your notice that, the topic of this article occurred to me while I was lonely at the back of my little home in my country side of coal city state contemplating on what I just experienced from the self-acclaimed rich people this festive season.

Anyway, on our lessons last year (2018), we treated “ACCURATE THOUGHT” if you could remember. We said that, even most of the regarded ELITES are not accurate thinkers. And it takes one the ability to know what to do at a particular occasion, and still maintain that integrity of a man who uses this thing called initiative wisely, so that people and the natural right they have to co-exist with you do not get infringed on.

And some of these pusher-tools will tend to make such statement like; what does it matter to care about people? Well, the negative effects of reckless rich behaviors are also felt by the man who acclaims with arrogance that he/she is rich.

If you do not feel the negative effect as a pusher-tool rich man, why do you walk about with guns on your shoulder before your neighborhoods?
Why do you inflate your vehicle tires often those periods? Was it not because the roads are as bad as death traps?

Why did you bring a fat envelop at the burial ceremony of your brother? Whereas he died of hunger, is it not because it takes an accurate thinker to notice that the essence of earthly riches entails spreading out to enliven the environment?

No doubt about it, we all like to make people do what we want, or feel satisfied trying to make control of people our priority. As an employer, you may think that the only way to get your employees work hard as you wanted is to threaten to lay them off their jobs.

Whereas there is only one way under high heaven to get anybody to do anything you want them doing. And have you ever stopped to ask yourself what that way is?
Yes, I know you could answer me that, it is just by making that person want to do it.

Definitely, you can make someone want to give you his phone by sticking a gun in his head. You can equally make a child do what you want him/her to do by a whip. But remember, these cruel methods have serious undesirable repercussions with it.
The only way to get people do what you want is by giving them what they want. This will develop the best in that person. And what is that they want?

According to a man named Sigmud Freud; he said that everything a person does springs from two motives: -- the sex urge and – the desire to be great. So, the deepest urge in we human beings is the desire to be important. Now, let us delve into some of the things most people want in life.

“Who never has suffered,
He has lived but half,
Who never failed, he never
Strove or sought, who never wept
Is stranger to a laugh, and he who
Never doubted never thought.”

We all are aware of how we regard and treat failure. At the back of our minds, we have in one way or the other regarded other people and also ourselves as failure.
The world bestowed it on her to easily term their fellow human as being a failure. We often find it easy to do this based on our inability to think properly and our quest to show-off before others especially when we think we are better than them.

Ordinarily, the term “FAILURE” is a negative term. In this career and or talent lesson, this word FAILURE will be given a new meaning, this is because the word has been a very much misused one; it has brought unwanted grief and downfall to millions of people.
Though the uninformed part of the world call reverses, setbacks, and temporary defeat FAILURE, neither temporary defeat nor adversity amounts to the so-called failure in the minds of individuals who sees it as a teacher that is bound to teach some needed lessons.

You should understand that, there is a great lasting lesson in all these temporary defeats, and this lesson cannot be learned in any other ways except through defeat.
But the most difficult part is that this defeat often talks to us in a dumb language which we find hard to understand. This is because, if we could understand the language of defeat, we would not make the same mistakes over and over again without profiting by the lesson it might teach us.

This is more elaborate here, if it were not true, we would observe so carefully the mistakes others make and go along to profit by them.
