Protect the root of your business.

Image
  A young man and his father were watching a huge fire coming down from the hills towards their family vineyard. At first, the young man tried to organize buckets of water but it was clear that the fire would engulf everything and consume the vineyard. Then to his surprise he saw the old man pick up an axe and run towards the vines. Systematically he began to cut the vines, leaving only the roots. "We must protect the root, my son. Do as I show you." And with this they saved a business that was several generations old. Every business has a root, and you must know that root. You must be able to protect that root, when things are tough. Sometimes protecting that root looks cruel, but you must protect it at all costs. Sometimes it can come down to reducing activity to the bare minimum, with just a handful of staff. Your most valuable resource will always be good people. There's no successful entrepreneur who does not know what I'm talking about. It may well be one of the

Two choices

Image
When things go wrong, you have two choices. You can make things worse or you can make things better. You can feel sorry for yourself or you can let the situation inspire you to take positive action. You can look for someone to blame or you can make a decisive move forward. Just because you’ve been disappointed is noreason to add to that disappointment with your own actions. In fact, just because you’ve been disappointed is no reason to act disappointed. Your actions are based on your choices in this moment, not on past history. Your actions are based on what you’ve decided to make of yourself, not on what life has dealt you. What if you could emerge from the situation and be stronger, more positively focused, with a greater sense of purpose and unstoppable confidence? In fact, you can. Make the choice that will ultimately benefit you and everyone else in your world. No matter how unfair or unjust or disappointing life may be, choose to look ahead, act ahead, live ahead and get ahead. —

There is a 'Becoming'

 BECOMING... Consider this analogy. Temitope and Adeola were close friends, infact they were a true definition of friend like blood relation. They attended thesame secondary school and everyone that knows them envied their friendship. Then they gained admission into the same university. Temitope in Medical laboratory Science, Adeola in physiotherapy department, thesame faculty, they were equally roomates. Almost everyday, they set out to attend classes at the same time. Some people even feel they were in the same department. At graduation, Temitope became a Medical laboratory Scientist and Adeola became a Physiotherapist. What does this imply.... Temitope BECAME the words(lectures) she was being exposed to daily for five years. Adeola equally BECAME the words(lectures) spoken to her daily for same five years. The words you choose to expose yourself to are very important. Infact you will eventually become the words you allow to sink into you. If all you listen to is "Iriri Aye"

 After the match , Gabaski forgot his bottle on the field . A Journalist took this bottle and discovered that it is not just a water bottle. Printed on the bottle is a list of all the Senegal players and the angle they have kicked their last 10 Penalties This helps The Egyptian Goalkeeper to know where to dive and as such easily catch a penalty He used this bottle against Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Senegal and caught numerous penalties in all these matches Can this be cheating of the highest order ? could this be the reason why Egypt was taking every knockout game to Penalties ? because they knew Gabaski had his water bottle to save them.
