Echoes of your Brand

“An approach to education is key and crucial to the development of any society. Education should prepare you for life and not focusing on passing exams, but instead, focus on learning” (Alux.com, 2019). Learning should be the acquisition of new knowledge, skills and attitudes. It is developing the ability to perform new behaviours. Learning is a process that takes place throughout one’s life. This means that every person learns every time, from anything to succeed. “Success is a cocktail of skills and one ingredient alone will not give you what you want”. When we are done with the formal school, we learn to adapt to the many significant changes and challenges of society such as providing for food, finding and keeping a job, getting married, looking after a family or being self-employed. Because learning continues in our lives and affects almost everything, we do.  In the same vein, it is essential to understand the concepts and learn how to apply it in various ...

Imagine taking a magic word and use it to change something about your entire life. What would you change? Would it be ending procrastination, pursuing creativity, being more disciplined, having better relationships, being happier with yourself, being more mindful, learning new skills? Now ask yourself this: what is stopping you from making this change? The steps to make your change are likely reasonably easy. Then why don't we make these changes? Zenhabit (2006). The answer is simple. It is because we have tolerated bullies in our lives. These bullies are more hardened, stronger bullies, and for these bullies, no matter what we do, we can't get rid of them. These bullies could echo negative words, saying that you are a loser and that you would never succeed. This leads to your self-esteem being damaged. These bullies know our schedule so well that it stalks you 24 hours 7 days a week. We cannot run away from these bullies because these bullies ...

Business principles successful story Being successful in professional life or business does not just come. Success does not just happen overnight. It takes time and effort. The people we are calling successful are the ones who have practised skill and have continued working on the ability repeatedly for an extended period. Sometimes success has nothing to do with school education, but rather applying principles with a disciplined mind and having the passion of improving on it every time. The statements above can be illustrated in Jimmy’s story. From a wretched of neediness, Jimmy always wanted to be a business person since the age of 10. However, originating from a weak foundation; this fantasy appeared unrealistic to work out because destitution can either make you think beyond practical boundaries or little. Neither the big nor the small dream side was in Jimmy in the course journey of his life. At age 15, Jimmy’s dreams died because the society demanded more for educati...

How valuable are you? Do you echo as a brand? From the life that beats inside you to the purpose of life, true or false we all want to be brands and this cuts across every profession, students and friend, writers, business owners, intrapreneurs and technopreneurs, professional athletes, movie stars, e.t.c, take your pick; in all these careers, there is undoubtedly someone whose results you wish to duplicate. By duplication, I mean, we should learn from the people who have made their brand shine in these respective endeavours. However, without moving away from reality, you will also agree with me that it is hard for us to locate our actual selves and fall prey to mimicking the lives of other people. Many things have changed dramatically post-internet era, and many are the times we have been swallowed in our recognition. Every day we are bombarded with flashy images of the assumed perfect lives of others and perpetually following the tune of this song ends up seeing our lives evap...
