Controversy precedes Popularity. If you’re scared of becoming controversial, you won’t see your sun of popularity rise.
Life without making progress is dead. What is life if you don’t embrace new truths that scare you, meet people who intimidate you, and so on.
Your haters may stage fake games that they know you cannot win so that you may fail and put that blame on you and in turn doubt yourself.
You won’t be accepted before you’re rejected; You won’t be celebrated before you’re despised... Pay your dues first!
Even if you communicate sincerely and your intentions are upright, if people don’t have trust, they speculate your every move...
You can’t succeed in any endeavor if your motive is solely selfish- feeding your ego, seeking recognition, fame, etc. Find a lasting motivation...
Having the big picture in mind enables us to overcome the day to day routines that attempt to distract us from pursuing our dream.
A greatness that doesn’t lead to personal fulfillment isn’t worth celebrating.
The weak attempts to know you through the reports from 3rd parties. The strong dig deeper and spend time to understand your true self.
Smile and be happy because there is no one in this whole world like you. You’re lucky because you’re alive and breathing. Show gratitude and show it genuinely.
No one is perfect. We all have weaknesses and limitations. Some can’t be fixed. But, at least, a leader shouldn’t find herself blindsided...
The world won’t be loyal and burden itself to those who are having one skill and talent any longer. Make yourself useful and indispensable...
Disloyal people, you don’t know when they gona hit you with grave surprises and betrayals...
Some people don’t want to take time to differentiate between what is mystical and the truth; and what is cultural and biblical. Don’t be lazy!
If you’re a true student of the truth, you may easily get frustrated when people try to make points based on mysticism and cultural beliefs.
It’s naivety to think that we can just change someone’s lifetime belief system using some casual conversations. It cannot happen!
Conflict occurs everywhere except in the cemetery. Everyone experiences conflict except the dead. Thankful for being alive...
Success is relative. We shouldn’t compare the financial success between a person born into riches and the one born into abject poverty.
To avoid surprises later, spend enough time to know people initially. Don’t just ask the obvious. Go the extra mile... Be creative and unconventional...
Long ago, I stopped buying- let alone reading, books that talk about organizational success but fail to emphasize the importance of TRUST.
