DON'T BE DISCOURAGED

Don’t be discouraged

Why are you discouraged? Is it because of that defeat in your examination, position or work? Come on, sit-up and do it again and this time with more perseverance. Remember it is just a defeat and not failure. Failure only means, failing to do it again. Come on, tell yourself that,’’ I am not a failure and do it again’’.  Thomas Edison, the great inventor after failing several times said to himself that, he was not a failure and truly, he won. Believe that you can also do it.  Remember that, what you failed on today can be the catalyst for your tomorrow’s success, so don’t stop. Tell yourself that,'' yes, I have been defeated but have not failed. That job, certificate or position is mine. Orison Swett Marden once said,'' there is no failure for the man who always gets up when he fails, rebounds like a rubber bail, persists when everyone else give up and pushes when everyone else turn back’’.
Folks, I end by quoting the famous Norman Vincent Peale, that, ''DO NOT BELIEVE IN FAILURE’’. Don’t be discouraged.
Thank you.

YOU KNOW YOURSELF BETTER

YOU KNOW YOURSELF
BETTER

Yes, you are what you
are and you know yourself better. People may say all kinds of things about you
but you know yourself better. Do not focus on what others are saying, pay it no
attention, give it no energy,   it is just detraction. Don’t be upset and feel
bad, remember they talk about exceptional people.

Yes, indeed your
development may be slow but there is a saying that, “the sky moves slowly but
with daybreak, it crosses the sky”. 
Remember, many of what happens along the way is simply tests.

Don’t stop for your
payday shall surely come.

FAILURE GOOD FOR SUCCESS

ABOUT FAILURE

FAILURE GOOD FOR SUCCESS

     To   achieve the greatest success in life, we have to embrace the prospect of failure. We must know that, the sweetest victory is the one that is the most difficult and thus, comes with failure. 

Failure means the inability to achieve what one want. In other words, it is the lack of capacity to be successful. So, why do we encounter failure? Do we plan well?  What, when and how do we execute them?  Folks, after carefully answering these, we will realize that failure is caused by nothing but our own selves. 

        This means , when we plan well, execute it appropriately with regards to place and time and in a conducive manner, there will be nothing like failure in our lives. This means, failure is there to motivate and strengthen our quest for success, therefore, when we fail either socially, politically  or academically, let not give up  our quest but restructure our plans and this time take more defensive action and there will be success.

        When we read the biographies of many successful men and women all over the world, most of them indicate that, their success was not achieved easily. Opera Winfrey, the famous entrepreneur and personality talk show host gave birth at the age of 14 and were molested by cousin, uncle and the family at large, but did not let that stop her. 

Again, Edison inverted 1000 light bulbs before creating the one which worked. Abraham Lincoln among others had the greatest courage and desire for success than the fear for failure.

         Bruce Lee ones said, “Always be yourself , have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for successful personalities to duplicate”.

Yes, we may fail, but it should not mean that we cannot do it. Let be motivated and restructure our plans, and this time take more defensive actions.

         Brothers, sisters and parents, I end by saying, failure is not fatal, it is the Courage to continue that count. Let be determined and endeavor to make our dream come true. Thank you.
