Its incredible to know what the human person is capable of. Have you ever wondered how amazing it is when you find out how a man goes from nothing to the next big thing? For instance, the man Aliko Dangote. He goes from an average guard with a kiosk to one of Nigeria's richest men.
Now how is that possible? In the same land where first class graduates roam the street of Lagos (or any of Nigeria's commercial cities) looking for job opportunities. What is that thing that makes a man go beyond the normal scheme of things to carve a niche for himself? What is that thing that drives The Rich?
There is a place for chance and opportunity, and a place for grace and favor. However, while some take advantage of such opportunities, others let it slip away.
I have studied The Rich, and one thing that I have found is discipline. You have to know what you want in life and change your lifestyle to conform with your dream. Do not be distracted. Stay focused. Cut some of your friends off. If they don't buy into your dreams, then cut them off cos they will derail you. And you will become poor.
Secondly, ''never say never''. You have got to be determined to succeed. You have to repeatedly say to yourself - ''I was born a success''. Such words will alter your mindset and that is what needs to change- 'your mind'. You see, the thin line that separates The Rich from The Poor is the thinking process. Their is a way each group thinks and that's what makes them different. Never accept failure even when you fail. Get up and do it again. Do it till you get it right.
Lastly, study. Whatever it is that you have set your mind to do, take time out to study. If you have to work without being paid then do it. No knowledge is lost. Learn, acquire the skill. You may lose your job, but you can never lose your skill.
So whatever you do, don't stay static, keep moving. Be disciplined, refuse to fail and get a skill.
Until we meet again, keep winning.
