Lesson 28: Take Action! Execute!





Many want to be enterprenure, but end up being wanterprenures.

Many want to exercise but gain weight with time,

Many want to be the best in their area of expertise but settle for average,


Many want to improve their livelihood but end up conforming to their circumstances,

Many set goals at the beginning of the year  but stops pursuing them after three month.

Yet the sad thing is that none of these people are willing to pay the price to make this aims come true.

Bottom line you can't expect something to happen without taking action that will get you there.

One key lesson I have learnt is that it only through taking the right steps each day will eventually get us where we want. 

Even a baby when learning to walk has to try and take the first step and with time they become a master and see them running around, but it all started with just one step.

Your level of achievement will rarely exceed our level of personal development because success is something you attract by the person you become and the actions that you take.

Elon Musk  CEO of SpaceX wants to put a man on Mars by 2019, this is incredible and we think it is impossible, however with every small win like  "landing the reusable rocket in the ocean  drone platform was a huge breakthrough " he inches closer to realizing this incredible journey.

What  actions are you taking  to get closer to your aspirations?

What actions are you tking to be the best in whatever you do?

What actions are you taking to create that business?

Think about it!

Lesson 4. The Desiderata

Well today I want to share one of my favorite poems that  I came across while in High school but today I also stumbled upon it and it is a very inspiring poem that shows yo how to deal with life. I have made it one of my life principles to read it always and practice what it says. I do wish that we would practice what it says and things will change for the better. The poem is called Desiderata and it was written by an American author    Max Ehrmann  in 1927 . The poem has deeply shaped some of the great people we know, Morgan Freeman the popular American actor once said that the poem has remarkable shaped his life,   US Democratic presidential hopeful  Adlai Stevenson  died in 1965 having the poem by his bedside, and finally me too this poem has a great influence in the way I carry myself everyday. May it bring you hope and inspiration as it has brought to me. Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there...

Lesson 44. Alibaba

I have just finished reading Alibaba: The house that Jack Ma built by Duncan Clark. This is a brilliant book in the way the author presents the journey of Alibaba from Jack's small apartment to a billion dollar company, many of us have heard of Alibaba recently during the IPO but this book reminds us that success is as a result of hard work, perseverance, sacrifices and most of all loving what you are doing or  learning to do.  We see the influence that Jack Ma has established to move the company forward with the Jack Magic effect, something similar to Steve Jobs reality distortion field effect. One thing that I really loved was the clear outline of the growth of internet companies in mainland China, and a key lesson can be learned on how big tech companies in China have been able to replicate similar services and technology offerings of major players in the industry  by tailoring this to Chinese market, eg Google- Baidu eBay- Eachnet Amazon-JD.com/Alibaba ...
