A Li'l Bit About Success





At some point during this break when I wanted to surrender because my internship plans failed, my brother suggested I learn web design online. It seemed like a good idea because I planned going into programming. So, I took it upon myself to learn something new; dive into a whole new world of coding.

Well, I'm proud to tell you that I can design a basic (static) website using HTML and some CSS (I'm getting there small small o!).

Although I do feel as though I could’ve done and earned more, I’m not wasting any time on regrets. I’ve started making plans to advance in my career and as a person.

If you want to succeed, you have to define what success means to you. Paint the big picture and start small but never lose sight of the big picture and settle for less. For me, success is becoming more and then giving more. To make an impact in lives...

Ideas are big potentials hidden in the mind. Write them down, work on them, and evolve them. Consciously take out time to think (positively!).

Start something and always try to improve yourself. Always seek to build your character, knowledge/library, network and skill. With free access to the internet, you literally have the world in your hands (or table... depends on your device).

For one, I learned online how to improve my blog posts by working on the length and spacing... I'm also looking at taking online courses; they're a great way to learn more about anything!

Encourage yourself. You have to believe in yourself, give yourself a pep talk daily. Never expect the world to support you immediately. See NO (difficulties) as the pathway to YES (opportunities); never give up!



Show up every day! Some days may seem disheartening and you’ll feel so tired but you must show up on a daily. Set a standard and keep to it. 

My cousin (a football freak) didn’t go to exercise today at the stadium as he usually does and he missed out on Samson Siasia...

I believe that success isn’t so far away. It’s in you!

It’s kinda like water in a sponge; you’ve got to squeeze it out!

"Success is not final; failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts."  (Winston S. Churchill)

    True, very true.. It is also important to know that success is not an end point, it is a pass to a new challenge.. successful men are men who achieve goals at every phase in time. As a successful man, I ensure I do not quit on any goal even in the face of failure. There are over a thousands ways to kill a rat, do not stop trying different ways until the Rat is dead... That's success...

      Absolutely Chimezie! It's like not letting success become an enemy to progress such that you settle at a point and not aim higher... weird but true...
      Thank you!

Dear Fighter

"If you are going to win the fight of your life, you can't be afraid to fight"  - Eric Thomas Dear Fighter, Life has its ups and downs. There's always some good times to appreciate and hard times to grow through. So, I have chosen to be thankful for life, family/friends, love and issues (makes  life quite a story with the occasional twists), the cool job while I had it, life on a daily... Fight the good fight. Don't be a spectator in your life, fight! Fight for your joy. Fight for your progress. Fight for your dreams, goals, and aspirations. Fight to see the good in life. I realized it, and I'm fighting too. I recently wrote down some of my forgotten dreams and new goals. Now, I think about them often and try to work towards them. It's not easy, but I  have to push for it. In those dark moments, I have found that Jesus is the source of peace.  If you're losing it, it may be that you've distanced yourself from Him. The Bible says that God is leading

Dealing with Failure

Image
“No human ever became interesting by not failing. The more you fail and recover and improve, the better you are as a person. Ever met someone who’s always had everything work out for them with zero struggle? They usually have the depth of a puddle. Or they don’t exist.” - Chris Hardwick I’m enthusiastic. I love to be associated with success. I like to meet expectations. I just didn’t know if I could stand failing. I was afraid. I prayed and studied and kept hoping every day. I told myself that I had to pass all five of my exams. I felt that was it. Probably if I cleared them all in one sitting, I’d be more satisfied and approved of. Well, I failed one and it hit me. It hurt a lot and I felt like giving up. When I got home, I cried about it but my parents tried to cheer me up. My brother wanted us to celebrate. My friends were congratulating me. Honestly, at that point, I felt they were all crazy or something… In the healing process, I became grateful. I actua

When God Seems Distant

Image
           Some days, you feel like you're the one doing all the talking. It's like you woke up and the lights just went off. Its like God's gone on vacation!      I've felt like that too and it can really be frustrating. But while reading The Purpose Driven Life, a powerful book by Rick Warren, I got to see that this is actually a very important phase in our lives.      Just like Job's experience in the Bible, God seemed distant and didn't speak until 38 chapters later. But God never abandoned him nor left him to die of his sufferings. And despite all that Job went through, he never gave up on God.      This time is usually a period of testing to see just how much you can hold on to God when He keeps silent in your life. He really wants to show the accuser just how faithful a child He has that won't give up no matter what.
