Truth be told; i detest long posts...
I actually deduce my conclusion from d main points i read...

So you are an assumer

Interesting.. I am sharing this post again... and detesting long posts means you wouldn't be able to cope with all hardships and setbacks it takes to get to the land of success...

Trust me, it involves a lot of patience and that is what long posts require of you

I can be a drunk reader sometimes

Nice article, but I think this is the wrong section

Tho I understand other sections don't draw as much traffic as romance section

I believe if people can start thinking differently and better than they are doing now... then simply some relationships can be better than they are...

and that is what I am trying to do, Improve your thinking, and Impacting you...

Drunk readers eh.... hehehehe

jimoceans14:

Is it not that Businessmen Vs Celebs thread?

Didn't comment there

No.. I am not sure

nubian999:
Why don't you just say "an active person"

"An active" makes no sense

If you have been reading my articles before you will understand how I put it... Also remember to change your perspective.. and ask yourself why does it make no sense to you...

But thanks for the input.. I will change it for new readers sake... for better understanding..

Thank you so much

KissChrix:
What is an active?

An active is someone who lives to exist rather than live to survive.. In my last article... I think you commented there... I wrote about the meaning and differences in the two

Okay we are talking about actives today... It been sometime since I have been sharing articles on who actives are... While reading this article please free your mind and lets learn something new together.

Today we are talking about what makes up an active and learning this will go a long way in shaping who you are, because you will be in control of your life instead of waiting for your boss, your salary or your family to do anything for you..

So we are talking about

An Active on perception

The active is all about perception which is how we see things, everyone has a perception which is usually influenced by people, and other environmental factors.

For Example

Many of you see oranges as a sweet juicy fruit with a green/yellow back and most of you like it because it is juicy/sweet, succulent and nourishing.

But

I see oranges as a sweet juicy fruit with green hard back, succulent and nourishing, and contains a lot of vitamins (vitamin C) and antioxidants which help step up the immune system against infections and also clean our bodies of any toxins

Now the first perception is how a passive thinks, remember I said that a passive does things because he just feels like so or because a website, person or doctor says it is so and not because he understands why it is so.

The second is how an active thinks.. (if you read my other articles on actives you will perfectly understand this point)

Perception is also shown in how we treat people, when an active sees a passive he does not ridicule him or think less of him due to his high ignorance and possible lack of value (like many Nigerians who are ignorant of history and still rant on and on)...

perception is also been fat and saying that I don't care about what people say, I am all natural, when actually fat is causing you terrible pain, the liver problems which will come in the future, possible kidney failure, the amount you spend to keep that weight and so much more and yet you think it is because you care less about what people say... That is perception, you are not looking inward completely but letting your lack of care for opinions make you care less about yourself.

An actives perception is indepth, is deepened, he does not look at the basics, the things that meet the eye, he does not only relate situations with how he feels but what he understand about how the person talking about such a situation feels.

An active creates a perception of the world based on understanding and research, and not just what he has heard, or what has been done before, that is why his perception is so strong.. that is why he has control, emotions barely overpower him, his words barely fly around, because he thinks indepth, the way he sees things is different...

What is your perception..??

Your thoughts.. what are they based on??

Your views of this world? I say that school is a place we go to get knowledge of how the world works... What do you say??

In the next article I will be talking about how perception helps to shape business, and the great minds we have today... It is not just about believing you will be great and having a great plan, it is importantly about living in that world you have planned even before it comes to fruition... and you can't live in that world... If you don't have a perception based on understanding, research and fore thought.

Remember to follow me if you loved this one... because I will be sharing more and I don't want you to miss any of it (Don't worry I will always follow you back)

I stand with firstking01 on this

God is not an author of confusion...God cannot point you to another woman who is already tied to a man... You should seek the face of God too

Go and get another girl... This girl is ready to chew you and there are many other girls who are ready to worship the ground you walk on ....

This is actually the reason why so many ladies get their hearts broken over and over again...

Just analyze everything and ask yourself what happened, after understanding that you work on it.. and also build your standards... relationships are called off, because something was amiss and if you keep saying that all men are just wicked... or chameleons... than ladies, you are still a teenager ...

chigoizie7:
Whichever u want to put it.

An entertainer that is not also into businesses ( either productions/sales or services) like kanye,dr dre,jay-z and co cannot be richer than a businessman.

Entertainer like someone who is solely for entertaining people.

Interesting point..... although this argument is baseless.. Because I don't care about celebs or business men... I care about the way people want to live their lives... that is they want to show everyone that they have the latest shoes, clothes or whatever just to make the world think highly of them... and that should not be so...

so that is the moral of the post.. although I still have some points to throw on your response, but it be better we just leave it at this

Mumu is d world America in any different from ur own world?

If you are talking about Nigeria... then yes it is different.... do you know that they pay for water over there... What I fetch here for free.. everything is like paid over there... even the music you download... and I am talking about the music here...

Mumu! huh.... Well It would be great if Nairaland starts showing the ages of its users... It would make it easier for me to differentiate men from children..

How can someone turn an intelligent conversation into an abusive chatter....

chigoizie7:
I quoted someone oga, someone that said, Selena had such number of fans who make her rich by buying her songs with regards to dangote having so so amount of buyers.


Whatever I wrote there was based on the assumptions of the person I quoted, even @ that figure that Selena will still not be richer judging from his basis or arguments

First of all 2 albums in 6 months... Isn't that unrealistic... In the American world which is different from here in Nigeria where you can't just go and download the latest tracks, but you have to pay for them... think again

chigoizie7:
Just listen to ur self.

Selena has 100 million fans that can only buy at least 2 cds of her album let's say every 6months,That is sold for how much?

Let's assume dangote sells only cement and sells to about 20 million people. Now, how many bags do u think it will take to build a house and how much are the cost of one bag? Let's assume as u said that not everyone wants to build a house, now lets multiply ur 20 million that are willing to buy by 100 bags for an individual, do u know what it is? And then again, a bag at what price?

.

What I made bold... Where did you get the statistics from... or are they assumptions....? If they are... Please correct yourself and type again

Diplomaticbeing:
@OP

It's obvious that you're not a good student of business. Artistes are self employees while the other guys you mentioned are entrepreneurs, so any good student of business ought to know that comparing them particularly on their financial successes isn't ideal at all.

Careful....

The main moral of this post is comparing them psychologically... do you want me to explain that for you?

nov19:
Whether running a basic business or build your image up to be seen as a figure worth being celebrated... Business us business...

The difference in their income level is just leverage...
The Dangotes of this world have some 22;000 workers working hard to make him rich .every single day ...
.
On the other hand.. a celebrity figure as a business concept often have far less persons working for them.. Some of them include his manager... A few regional marketers.. A few producers.. and distributors...

Most importantly they lack excellent business skills and are often self consumed.. hence short sighted..

But it's a mistake to think that celebrities do not offer. value in the market place... The simple fact that some of them are paid a fortune for just attending a program... or endorsing a product... or make u laugh or dance and forget your sorrows for a while.. says it all...

I don't understand what you said... but I am going to talk about what I made in bold ....

Selena Gomez has more than 100 million fans... these people buy her album to make her rich, they come to her shows and all that ... while dangote sells to about 10 - 20 million Nigerians since not every nigeria wants to build a house and the fact that Nigeria unemployment and poverty rate is high.... So my friend it does not matter how many workers you have what matters is how big your market is....

and they don't lack excellent business skills because they employ the best

youngestmilly:
Op what u wrote up there is true but celebs have more financial freedom than business men. A celeb can buy anything and worry less abt overspending cos he know he got some shows coming next week, or he's already booked for 6 months while the money rolling in. If a business man should overspend in certain areas he may kill his business.

Let me ask Mark Zuckerberg about this.. the man who knows that if he buys a house for a billion dollars he has still has 50 billion dollars more to spend

Estharfabian:


Heart breaking....

let's say the question does not have a base in my persception

Zceesneh:
everybody is a businessman, don't know what u mean by businessmen again

Okay I will repost it ... but this time it will be longer.. so that you will understand

Silkmoth33:
I don't understand anything oh!
Don't conjure up rubbish from ur backward to come and share here.
Ur own point of view is baseless and the theory ur topic rides on, is flawed.

I accept your point of view... but due to the fact that you turned unreasonable and insultive, I will leave you to yourself........

When you are ready to discuss like men.... quote me

Silkmoth33:
IMO! Celebs are business men with endorsements and sponsors who promote the services dey deliver.

Footballers, pastors, models, basketballers and such qualify to be included in the category.

How this relates to the topic, I may never know;
But the celeb is only as rich as his services are worthwhile or adored.

I know but we always know that the entertainment industry is separate somehow from other industries... Like the Manufacturing, Refining, Mining, Industries.. so hope you understand?

Estharfabian:


Oh, I asked you... You should answer it!

Why should Celebs be more richer than Business men? hmmm.. let wear my glasses on this one....

I don't know!!!!

Viking007:

She has a different perspective than mine.. so I can't answer the question myself... so lets sit and wait as she wants to share something amazing... right Estharfabian ?

Please don't do this....

Never go to an online forum to ask people like you for medical help... There is a reason why doctors spent 8 years in Universities... That is to give medical help... So go to a pharmacist, or a doctor and get this straight with him...

Stay Healthy, Stay Wise

Estharfabian:

I think the Real, Ethical question should be... "Why should celebs be more richer than Business men? "

Okay interesting thought..... Now answer the question yourself so that we can all learn something new.....
