ARE YOU LISTENING TO DOOM SAYERS?

DOOM SAYERS

Doom sayers are people who perpetuate negative stereotype. they will tell you; 'you are not a strong science student', 'you do not have it in you', 'we have seen people like you, they do not go far'
I remember when I was in high school I was convinced that I could write. after a long struggle with my fear, one day I gathered enough courage and I approached my English teacher to see how he could help me write a story book. He gave me a composition to write which I wrote to the best of my ability. 

DID YOU CHOOSE YOUR ROLE MODEL WISELY?

A BAD ROLE MODEL COULD RUIN YOUR DREAM!

A role model is someone whose behaviour, example or success can be emulated by others. A role model is supposed to provide a social mirror especially for the young people through which they can see and imagine what they would like to be when they grow up. Role models are particularly very important in shaping attitudes and behaviour of teenagers and young people. Teenagers are particularly very vulnerable when it comes to role modelling since they are a group that is experiencing identity crisis.

GET RID OF THIS IF YOU WANT TO BE SUCCESSFUL

LAZINESS AND PROCRASTINATION

Laziness is the quality of being unwilling to work or spend energy. It is also the unwillingness of a person to fully utilize his/her potential despite knowledge of existence of such potentials. Procrastination is the habitual and intentional postponement of something that should be done or to delay doing something until a later date because you are unwilling to do it or because you are lazy. Procrastination is a manifestation of laziness. Laziness is the biggest enemy of personal progress and its one of the reasons why people never get to realize their dreams.

IS YOUR DEAD TIME RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR DEAD DREAM?

ARE YOU A GOOD TIME MANAGER?

Someone once said “if you can manage time properly, then you can manage anything.” In my book ‘TEN -STEP RECIPE FOR SUCCESS’ I wrote; “everybody has got 86400 seconds in a day, and the difference between successful people and the rest is that, successful people can account for most of these seconds. They make sure that each and every one of them counts: lazy people just blow them away like dust in the air.” The surest way to become poor is to fail to learn how to manage time.

HAVE YOU CHECKED YOUR MENTAL ATTITUDE?(DREAM KILLERS)

YOUR NEGATIVE ATTITUDE WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR ABORTED DREAM

Dictionary defines attitude as a settled ways of thinking about someone or something. This settles way of thinking is reflected in a person’s behaviour towards the said object. Attitude is a collection of enduring beliefs; therefore we can say that attitude is a progeny of deep rooted beliefs.  Attitude is also a feeling or an emotion about an object of interest. Our attitudes determine how we behave towards other people.

DO YOU HAVE FRIENDS OR SNAKES?(DREAM KILLERS)

        FAKE FRIENDS WILL KILL YOUR DREAM

Someone once said that, life provides us with free gifts which if held on to dearly will have a lasting mark on our lives. Such free gifts include the gift of life, the gift of family, the gift of good health, the gift of forgiveness of sin, the gift of happiness, the gift of love, the gift of hope and the gift of friendship. I remember a motivational speaker who once told us in high school that ‘your worth in life in determined by the kind of people you associate with.’ He went on to say, ‘your net worth is commensurate to your net work.’ These words reminded me of an old saying ‘show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.’ In other words a person’s character is better explained by the kind of friends one hangs around.
