SHOW UP AND TAKE ACTION!!!




Immediately after my National Youth Service, as a young graduate still seeking relevance, a friend added me to a group "Valuex" Valuex is a platform where information is exchanged through lecture delivery and quality content sharing.

So, I started delivering lecture on this platform and there was a time, we were to choose from a wide range of topics. I couldn't choose from any topic and there was this topic, which people fail to pick. "Thriving as a start up" with little or no knowledge about entrepreneurship. I took the topic, using the knowledge I garnered from the Young African Leadership Initiative online courses and my experience as an associate of the chartered institute of customers relationship management.

I delivered a top notch lecture and I got an invitation to speak at the Federal School of Statistics, Ibadan on the same topic.

Lessons: Show up and take action. Somehow, someone is watching somewhere.

Show up!
Learn!
Prepare! Opportunities meet preparedness!
Create relevant content and seek relevance!

FILL YOUR OWN MOULD By Emeka Nobis I had boasted to Ikenna and my classmates that I could play the number five position in football. That was borne out of envy because Ikenna's football skills were hailed. I decided to tame his mouth. That was in 1992, my second year of secondary school at Marist Comprehensive Academy, Okigwe. I became the last substitution in the fifth minute of the second half of a match our school played with a neighbouring school. That meant I couldn't be replaced anymore. It was absolute tomfoolery. I ran around the pitch in a pattern similar to pollen grains in water. I couldn't even trap the ball, mostly letting it pass through the hollow of my legs to the opponents. I was playing what was called "Shorting one" in our local parlance. Football wasn't just my forte. For me, it was eating the desert before the entrée in a four-course meal.  But it was different when I handled a pen and a sheet of paper. I could write e...

DO YOU WANT TO EXPERIENCE ENDLESS BLISS AND FIND LASTING FULFILMENT?  Every individual born into this world is endowed with at least a gift, with which to achieve greatness in life. It is a great pity that so many people have not yet discovered or maximised their gifts- their source of wealth, impact and influence. And unless they discover their gifts, they can't rule their world. Discover your gift(s) and rule your world. Your gift is your source of wealth. Unravel it early while you still have breath because it is your primary source of influence and affluence in life. Creativity is an asset entrusted to you as a special gift to benefit humanity with. If truly you are genuinely created in the image and likeness of God that automatically gives you the assurance of possessing creative and innovative power both to invent and to discover new and profound ways of doing things.  On this note we all @ SCHOOL OF PURPOSE DISCOVERY INTERNATIONAL have brought the FABULOUS ...
