WHAT NOT TO PRAY FOR (002):
A PERFECT SPOUSE.
Most times, singles pray that God should provide them with a "perfect" partner.
Married couples who are also experiencing matrimonial frictions pray earnestly that God should touch their spouses...

and make a perfect partner out of them.
The key to a blissful union, is making YOURSELF the perfect partner!
Develop yourself. Study your partner and know his/her weaknesses and areas of strength and make allowances for them. Why on earth would you expect perfection from another, when you aren't perfect?
No matter how long you pray, your union will yet experience friction from time to time.
The only set of people who are guaranteed a totally friction-free union, are those in the cemetery.

WHAT NOT TO PRAY FOR (001).
MONEY: It is an error to go into a session of fasting/prayer, asking God to give you money. Money does not come by fasting/prayer; it comes by the applications of principles.
God blesses man through a medium; the works of his hands. So instead of praying for money, look for what to do, do it diligently and pray that God showers His blessings upon it.

 WHAT NOT TO PRAY FOR

Many a times, we go on our knees and pray/fast earnestly, that God may do certain things in our lives. Often, these prayers appear unanswered, leading to inner frustrations and spiritual apathy.
Are there things we should not pray for?
Join me tomorrow as i begin a new series on this title.

WISDOM KEY - 05
Do not begrudge any man.
Not everyone has come into your life, to put a smile on your face. Some have come to give you a blessing. Others have come to teach you a lesson.
Categories them by their fruits, learn from the encounter and move on with an open mind. For to begrudge a man, is to hold him down in your heart.

And the longer you hold a man down, the longer you stay down with him.
So, let wisdom prevail.
For the winning formula is the wisdom formula.
(Dr. Thomas S. Wilson)

WISDOM KEY- 04:
Unto every greatness , there is a weakness.
It is the peak of foolishness for you to assume that you can never commit a particular vice.
If the curtains are down and prying eyes are absent, you may commit the very vice you so

loudly speak against.
Your surest guarantee is to identify your weakness and build a wall around it, so that at no point in time are you boxed into a corner and given a punch at the point of your weakness.
For a calculated punch that hits you at the point of your weakness, will make you crumble, like a pack of cards.
So, let WISDOM prevail.
For the winning formula is the wisdom formula.
(Dr. Thomas-Wilson)

WISDOM KEYS 03
Be careful with whom you share your dreams.
Share it with some, and they will seek to truncate the vision out of envy.
Share it with some, and they will seek genuinely to save you from yourself, by 'helping' to keep you wit

hin your 'limits'. Share it with some, and they will seek to truncate your life, for the rising of your sun will reduce the glitters of their stars.
He who has no role to play in the path to the realization of your dreams, has no business knowing the details of your aspirations.
So let WISDOM prevail.
For the winning formula, is the wisdom formula.
(Dr. Thomas-Wilson)

WISDOM KEYS - 02
When all is well between you and your friend, beware of the things you unveil about yourself. Your best friend today, might become your worst enemy tomorrow. When best friends become sworn enemies, the grey areas of their liv

es are thrown up to the wind, and that which was hitherto a secret, becomes an anthem in the market square.
So let WISDOM prevail.
For the winning formula, is the wisdom formula.
(Dr. Thomas-Wilson)

.

WISDOM KEY -01
There is time to fight. There is time to retreat. There is time when silence is golden. There is time when silence is foolish. There is a moment, when acting like a thug, could produce better results than playing the gentleman. There is a moment when acting like a thug could destroy the image you have built over the years and throw your reputation to the mud. There is a time to 'play along'. There is time to rigidly take a stand. Life is a double-edged sword. What you do today, that earns you accolades, if you do tomorrow, might earn you knocks.
So let WISDOM prevail. For the winning formula, is the wisdom formula

MEDITATION SERIES:
CONCLUSION:
We have finally come to the end of this series.

Expectedly, this series attracted the least interest from my friends so far. This goes on to confirm the apprehension/apathy that majority have concerning this

topic.

Meditation simply means "thinking". Period!
Taking time out in a serene environment to think about important issues of life.

Thinking about the past successes and failures and extracting the lessons thereby.
Thinking about the present; with a view of strategizing appropriately.
Thinking about the future; your dreams/aspirations.
Thinking about great ideas. Things to do. Things not to do. How to do them. When to do them...

At the end of each day, you should spend a couple of minutes, quietly taking stock of the day's activities. That is meditation.

Regularly from time to time, you should take time-out to evaluate your life's time-table with a view of seeing if you are still on course and if your pace is satisfactory. That is meditation.

So, meditation is not as laborious and complex as it has been touted! It is simple. It is necessary if you must live a fulfilling life.

"Meditation is the lubricant that rolls the wheel of imagination. For where imagination is dry, success is grounded" ...Dr. Thomas-Wilson.

MEDITATION SERIES:
BENEFITS OF MEDITATION:
Meditation has several benefits which cut across all the strata of life; physiological, psychological and spiritual.
On the overall, meditation helps the individual to focus per time on matters arising and knotty issues, giving direction where there seems to be no way and making for ease where a road map already exists.

MEDITATION SERIES:
HOW TO MEDITATE:
This is the very point of conflict whenever the topic of meditation is discussed.

1. Look for a relatively quiet environment and sit in a comfortable position.
It is not of compulsion to sit crossed-leg

ged.

2. Pick a subject and focus all of your mind on it with the view of receiving divine guidance and revelation.
Another school believes that you should quieten your thoughts and mind. That is, your mind should be free of thoughts and be completely void during meditation. I do not subscribe to that school of thought.
Of what use is meditating without a subject?
Nature abhors vacuum. If you fail to occupy your mind, cosmic forces will occupy it for you!

3. Put down in black and white, the inspirations/revelations you received during the exercise.

MEDITATION SERIES:
MYTH #5: MEDITATION IS DISCIPLINE
Over the years, various types of disciplines have been associated with meditation. Disciplines such as celibacy, lying on a bed of nails, not having to talk to anyone for years, protract

ed fasting etc, have been adduced to meditational techniques. Disciplines such as these evolved from sado-machosistic attempts by spiritual egos to portray larger than life images of themselves.

While a degree of discipline may indeed enhance the procedure and general spiritual well-being, it is no compulsion as one may yet meditate effectively without having to be subjected to any of these disciplines.

MEDITATION SERIES:
MYTH 4: YOU NEED A PERFECTLY QUIET ENVIRONMENT TO MEDITATE.
Truly, when your environment is quiet, that ambience enhances meditation. But where you are not able to achieve that perfect silence, you may yet meditate by creating your own ambience. The cheapest way of achieving this is by closing your eyes; an act which relatively insulates your mind from the environment.

MEDITATION SERIES.
MYTH #3: MEDITATION IS OPENING YOUR SPIRIT BEING TO POSSESSION BY COSMIC FORCES.
One reason why most fellows keep far away from meditation is because they fear that during meditation, they could be 'possessed' by strange

cosmic forces, an occurrence that could alter the course of their destinies.
It is not meditation as an act that will cause your spirit being to be 'possessed'. It is what you do during meditation that radiates a fragrance of magnetism in the line of your domineering thoughts.

MEDITATION SERIES:
MYTH #2: MEDITATION MUST BE DONE IN A PARTICULAR CROSSED-LEGGED SITTING POSITION AND RECITE A PARTICULAR MANTRA.
Most people believe that for you to meditate, you must sit in the lotus position; crossed legged and repeate

dly say "om" . This is not so.
That sitting position is common in Asia, where their religion/culture encourages such from childhood. However, for those who were brought up under western Influence, their joints would be less flexible. Thus sitting in such a position will be most uncomfortable.
Indeed, you can meditate sitting on a chair or sofa.
What is important is for you to ensure that your head, neck and shoulder are relaxed, while your spine (back bone) is erect.

MEDITATION SERIES:
MYTH #1: IT IS A BHUDDIST PRACTICE:
Meditation is not a yoga thing. Neither is it the property of the eastern religion. In the bible ( king james version) the word "meditate" appears 14 times, while words that could be so

translated appear much more often. The only snag here is that, in as much as the bible admonishes us to meditate, it does not explicitly tell us HOW to meditate. This I intend to fathom in the course of this series.
In any case, it is expedient to understand that meditation itself is not an ungodly, ritualistic practice as most of us are wanting to believe. Rather, it is what you do during meditation that gives it a suggestive colouration.

MEDITATION SERIES

MYTHS ABOUT MEDITATION
Most people would rather have nothing to do with meditation. This is because over the years, they have developed a notion about what meditation is and what it is not. They have come to perceive meditation as some sort of eastern Bhuddist spiritual exercise where communication is established with some strange gods. It has been so wrongfully perceived that one must sit on the floor, crossed-legged in the lotus position and repetitively recite a mantra, for meditation to take place.
I shall proceed to discuss some of these myths and put the records straight from tomorrow.
God bless you.

MEDITATION SERIES
WHERE TO MEDITATE

  Meditation requires seclusion and absolute serenity.
To achieve this, one will need a quiet environment. One may decide to carry out meditation in any of the following places:
# Mountain top
# Forest
#

Hotel room
# A dedicated quiet zone in the house
# Sea, lake or river shore
# Any quiet environment devoid of distractions.

The key here is 'serenity, devoid of distractions'.
For the terrestrial to connect with the celestial, this key needs being maintained. For meditation is the key that opens that window of inter-connectivity between mortal and immortal.
www.thomas-wilson.com

MEDITATION SERIES
DEFINITION:  

This is the act of seclusion, whereby an individual in a serene environment maintains a convenient stationary position and focuses his mind on a subject matter, with a view of downloading inspiration and guidance from celestial treasury.

ANGER MANAGEMENT -(010)
When you have repeatedly tried to put your anger in check applying all the previous recommendations without success, please seek help.
It may be necessary to explore the hidden reasons why you flare up so easily. Sometimes, anger is an expression of a latent deficiency, which if not identified and addressed, remains a perpetual tormentor. This exploration is better done by a counsellor specializing in anger management. Your doctor will be of great assistance in this regards.
It may also be expedient to seek spiritual help from your clergy, for he that is conscious of the heavenly is less irritated by the earthly.

ANGER MANAGEMENT -(009)
Recognize the warning signals that your temper is rising and anticipate your trigger point. This way, you can act quickly and control your anger before it controls you! This can be likened to diffusing a bomb before it goes off.

ANGER MANAGEMENT (008)
Avoid places, people and circumstances that ignite the spirit of anger in you.
If a particular scenario gets you angry each time you are exposed to it, avoid such. If it is unavoidable by virtue of your activities, then insulate your mind before leaving home. Tell yourself, 'no matter what happens here today, I will remain calm, I will not be angry'
If you have so prepared your mind, it becomes easier to resist the emotion when it begins to evolve.

ANGER MANAGEMENT -(007)
The most potent words that have the capacity to douse tension resulting from anger, are words of humor.
Please note that humor is different from sarcasm.
Being sarcastic can indeed, worsen the situation.
So, when tension builds up as a result of anger, do not let it solidify; diffuse that tension with words of humor.

ANGER MANAGEMENT -(006)
When someone angers you, forgive the person and move on. As long as you keep grudges against that individual, you are fanning the amber of hatred and incubating the template for a future outburst.
Remember, the longer you hold a man down in unforgiven, the longer you stay down with him.

ANGER MANAGEMENT - (005)
A bottled-up anger is as bad as a wrongly expressed anger.

As soon as you become calm, be sure to express your concerns clearly without ambiguity and in an assertive, non-violent, non-confrontational manner.
This is so important, lest your calmness be taken for consent to the irritating situation.

ANGER MANAGEMENT -(004)
When a particular scenario gets you angry repeated, sit down and work out a solution to it. You may not be able to get that fellow to do things exactly the way you want it. Sometimes you just wonder if some people don't have common sense to do things right. Remember, common sense is not common and habits die hard. Think of an alternative if the fellow wouldn't change, else you continue to boil and flare up.

ANGER MANAGEMENT -(003)
When one is angry, it is a common occurrence to speak spontaneously out of anger. However, chances are that when you so speak, you will end up regretting your words later.
So, when you are angry, engage your brain before you engage your mouth. Do a mental analysis of the implications of your words before you speak. For words are like eggs, once broken cannot be mended.

ANGER MANAGEMENT - (002)
When angry, take a break from that environment. Just walk away, whistling a happy tune, without reacting spontaneously. You think better when you are calm than when you are agitated. Having achieved that calmness, you can now return to the problem, examine it and address it.

ANGER MANAGEMENT - (001)
When you are angry, do not speak or react immediately!
Count from one to ten slowly.
This helps you to step back from the situation, buys time for you to examine the problem, and decide on an effective, rational way to express your anger.

This is an anger management tip that has worked for centuries! In fact, the Roman poet Horace (65-8 BCE) said, "when angry, count from one to ten before you speak, if very angry, one hundred".

ANGER MANAGEMENT!
Have you ever been angry? Most people loose control of themselves when they are angry. They do things unimaginable and end up regretting later!
How does anger generate? Is it normal to be angry? How do I comport myself when angry? Is it possible to be offended and not be angry?
These and many more questions, we shall address together as I commence a new series tomorrow on ANGER MANAGEMENT.
Are you ready?

FORGIVING OTHERS: THE MYSTERY BENEATH

 END OF SERIES 

We have finally come to the end of this series. The benefits of forgiveness are indeed inexhaustible! So, please let`s go of that hurt. Even if you think that 'idiot' does not deserve to be forgiven, just find a place in your heart to forgive, at least for YOUR OWN sake. Remember, the longer you hold a man down, the longer you stay down with him. God bless you all.

FORGIVING OTHERS: THE MYSTERY BENEATH-(005)
YOU PROVOKE LOVE 

 When someone offends you, the fellow naturally expects you to react. So when you fail to react and show forgiveness instead, you provoke love in the heart of your offender and that of as many people as come to learn of the incident. The love you so provoke in this instance is infectious. You become a candle stick that lights other candle sticks and the flame diminishes not. That provoked love travels afar, blessing others, and splashing on you eventually. For when you spray perfume on someone, some of it rubs off on you.

FORGIVING OTHERS: THE MYSTERY BENEATH-(004): YOU EARN RESPECT

 When you forgive a person that hurts you without seeking for a revenge, you have proven that you have a large heart and that you are more mature. This earns you the respect of your offender and that of as many people as get to know about it eventually. This kind of earned respect speaks for you and opens doors where you least expect.

FORGIVING OTHERS: THE MYSTERY BENEATH-(003)

 THAT GOD MAY FORGIVE YOU

 When you refuse to forgive those who offend you, you are asking that God should not forgive you of your own trespasses. And where your offences against God are not forgiven, your supplications are not heard by Him (Lk 11:4). Did you pray before going to bed last night? Did you pray this morning? Is there any need in your life you are praying and believing God for? None of those prayers will be heard except you forgive

FORGIVING OTHERS: THE MYSTERY BENEATH-(002) DIVINE INSPIRATION

 When someone hurts you and you keep the hurt deep down in your heart, you impede the flow of divine inspiration into your subconscious. Your mind would still function, but at a sub-optimal level. What maximizes your thought process is the free flow between your mind and the celestial space. This is what is impeded when you refuse to forgive. So, unforgiveness confines you to the terrestial and cuts you off from the celestial.

FORGIVING OTHERS: THE MYSTERY BENEATH-(001) INNER PEACE

 When someone hurts you and you take it to heart, whenever you see that person or even hear anything about the person, you become disturbed. Your nervous system could be affected; your heart-rate and blood pressure could rise, you could develop headache and your thinking becomes blurred. So when you forgive, you preserve your inner peace and sanity. You are actually selfish...

WHY MUST I FORGIVE YOU?

 As you go about your daily activities, you get offended by people. Some of these people outrightly betray you. Some plot your downfall secretly and praise you in your presence. It is only natural to take offence when people hurt you. But over the years, I've heard it over and over, that I must forgive. What mystery lies beneath forgiveness? Join me tomorrow as I start a new series. Ready?

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG-(010)
ADDRESS THE SPIRITUAL

  What we see in the physical is controlled in the spiritual. This is a sordid truth. Why i down-play this fact is that, over the years people have laid so much emphasis on the spiritual, that they ignore the roles they are supposed to play in the physical. But spiritual attacks and celestial manipulations are real! Every mortal being requires a spiritual umbrella for protection from spiritual wickedness. Unfortunately, in the quest for this protection, many have ended up truncating the very destiny they seek to desperately protect.
I recommend to you that which I have tried and faileth not. I recommend to you, the Ultimate, the Rock...Jesus The Christ. Yeshua, Son of the living God!

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG -(009)
BE CAREFUL WHO YOU DISCUSS WITH

 When things go wrong, you do not need SYMPATHY, you need SOLUTION.
Once you have this at the back of your mind, it becomes easier to decipher this prescription. For what purpose are you discussing your challenges with that fellow? Is it because you believe that he/she can be a link to the solution or because you think he/she owes you a "sorry"?
Certain people will further complicate your situation by their action, while others will make you an object of ridicule and public discourse when you turn your back.

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG -(008)
TAKE TIME-OUT FOR MEDITATION
When things go wrong, there are chances that your mind will be disturbed. Your brain will be stuffed with several contrasting thoughts and your ability to think clearly will be compromised. This is not the best time to take a decision on any matter. What you need do at this time is to take a time-out. Take a break, go to a quite place, devoid of hustle and bustle and engage your thinking faculty. That serenity is a catalyst for thinking outside the box; a template for solution and a cornerstone in the school of distinction.

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG-(007)
DON'T MAKE ENEMIES FROM YOUR OBSTACLES

  When things go wrong, don't see anyone as your enemy, even if you have evidence to show that certain persons are responsible for your predicament. Rather, see them as the ladder by which you are to climb to the top; the discomforting flame that is meant to make your gold glitter. If you see them as enemies, you will end up nurturing bitterness against them. This will impede your progress and make a mess of the lessons you were meant to learn from the process. Remember, the longer you hold a man down, the longer you stay down with him...

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG-(006)
DO NOT SEEK HELP IN A STRANGE LAND

 When things go wrong, the tendency for the average mind is to seek help from ANYWHERE that offers 'solution'. However, the search for solution has plunged many souls into despicable quagmire, landing them in pits that have crippled the wheels of their destinies. So, do not compromise your stand. Stick to that old land-mark. Avoid solution offers that contradict what you have always known. That appealing 'solution' might just be a bait to a realm of slavery and perpetual regret.

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG-(005)
MIND YOUR TONGUE

  When things go wrong, do not be despaired to the point that you begin to say negative things about yourself. Sometimes, people curse themselves and their 'stars' when they suffer misfortunes. In your tongue lies the power of life and death which carries the greatest potency when you choose to use it against yourself! So don't worsen your situation, bridle your tongue...

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG-(004)
WHAT DID I NOT DO?

 When things go wrong, sincerely with a humble spirit ask yourself this question: what did I not do that I was supposed to have done? If you look inward and ask yourself this question sincerely, you just might get a clue as to how you arrive at your present predicament. And knowing the origin of your predicament is the first step In the arena of solution.

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG -(003)
WHAT DID I DO? 

 The first question to ask yourself when things go wrong is "what did I do that I was not supposed to have done"? You need to ask yourself this question with a spirit of frankness and humility.
If you do this genuinely, you just might get a clue to the origin of your predicament. For the first step to solving any problem is to identify the root-cause.

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG-(002)
TAKE RESPONSIBILITY 

 When you find someone to blame for your calamities, you will kill the seeds of its benefits...Dr Thomas WIlson

Many of us are quick to point at 'enemies' whose negative activities are responsible for our present predicaments.
The first step in reaping the fruits in every calamity is to ACCEPT that you are responsible for your present predicament, either by your action or inaction.
So, stop playing the blame game, else you remain in the pit and the best you get from us is "sorry"...

WHEN THINGS GO WRONG- (001)
BE CALM

 Left me first accept that this might not be as easy as said. But it is indeed feasible. Have you not heard that every disappointment is a blessing? That an existing door will have to close for a new one to open? But if you go about with tears in your eyes, you will never get to see the new doors. At best, you will be an object of sympathy and condolence. Infant you become a victim of double tragedy; you loose what you have and the perpetual tears in your eyes prevent you from entering into your next level! So friends, that 'unfortunate' incident might just be an answer in disguise to your age-long prayers!
So, when things go wrong, do not be a victim of double tragedy; be calm...

WHEN EVERYTHING APPEARS TO BE GOING WRONG
INTRODUCTION

  In our journey through life, we get to a point where things appear to be upside down, where everything appears not to be working. In times like this, what do we do?
Many people have gotten into wrong circles and have their destinies completely messed up because they sought help from the wrong quarters or took the wrong decisions. Is this turbulence normal? Must we all pass through this point? How long is this turbulence suppose to last? What are you suppose to do at this junction?
The truth is, what you do at this point determines where you eventually end up.
Tomorrow, I shall commence a new series on this subject matter. Are you ready?

LESSONS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of Facebook): -10
THE GOD FACTOR:
Mark is an atheist.
Yet, his venture into Facebook is a monumental global success.

The principles of success are universal. Whosoever applies them shall reap the fruits thereof.

Work hard as if there is no need for God. And pray hard as if there is no need for hardworking.
This is the point where many people miss it. They fail to play their own role, and expect God to do everything for them!

God is not a waster of resources. He will not do for you, what He has given you power to do for yourself.

LESSONS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG  (founder of Facebook) -009
SELECT YOUR BATTLES
When Facebook became an obvious success, Mark faced several battles from different quarters. He was dragged to court on several occasions, by persons and organizations that wanted their own share of the largesse, including some students in Havard who felt he hijacked their suggestions and was making all the money.
Some of these battles he fought head-on by engaging lawyers, while others he agreed for out-of-court settlements.

Some battles are worth fighting. Some battles are worth 'settling'. Some battles are not even worthy of your attention.

He that will live to reap the fruits of his labour, must learn to SELECT his battles.

LESSONS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG  (founder of Facebook) -008
ABSOLUTE DEDICATION
On February 4, 2004 Mark launched the Facebook in his dormitory room in Harvard, as a student.
Initially, it was was just connecting students of schools around California. But sooner, non-students started showing interest in the network as it grew.
At that point, Mark took a major decision of his life; he DROPPED from Havard and gave absolute dedication to the Facebook!

If your vision must go full length, then you must do it full-time.

Until you give your all to that venture, you remain a second fiddle at the periphery of excellence.

Have you considered resigning from your paid employment in order to give your all to the fulfillment of that dream?

It sounds risky to leave the known for the unknown.
But the future belongs to those who give their ALL to their dreams and say "if I perish, I perish"...

LESSONS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG  (founder of Facebook): -007
RE-PACKAGE YOUR FAILURE:
When Mark developed "facemash" in Havard, he put the pictures of two students per time, side by side and asked the student community to pick which was "hotter".
The students complained to the school authority and the site was shut down and Mark made to tender a public apology. Facemash was a FAILURE!

Mark however, did not allow the failure of Facemash to kill his spirit.
He sat down, analysed why Facemash failed, used the lessons therein and developed "the Facebook".

In other words, he re-packaged the failure of Facemash to make a success of the Facebook.

This is the point where many dreamers miss it...

Beneath every failure lies the seed of a monumental success.

What have you tried your hands and failed at?
Sit down, analyse that failure, re-package it and launch out again.

Soon, we shall gather to celebrate you, ONLY if you refuse to give up and learn to re-package your failure.

LESSONS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of Facebook) -006
OPEN UP YOUR INVESTMENT:
Though Mark conceptualized the idea of Facebook, he did not seek to own EVERYTHING therein. As at today, he owns 24% shares, while his three Havard school-mates who contributed to the vision, Dustin Moskovitz, Eduardo Saverin and Chris Hughes own 6%, 5% and 1% respectively.
Bill Gates of Microsoft handles all the advertisements and own 1.3% shares of Facebook.
Many great minds have destroyed their destinies out of sheer greed; not wanting to remit to others their dues. Some others are even afraid of 'exposing' their dreams to other great minds who have the potentials of moving them to the next level.
It is better to own 24% of SOMETHING than to own 100% of NOTHING!
If your dream will go far and outlive you, you will need people.
Bring them in and legally define the scope of
each of them. That way, you make more money, have peace of mind and bear less risk.

LESSONS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG  (founder of Facebook) - 05
POSITIVE ASSOCIATION

 When Mark developed "Facemash" in Havard, virtually all the students criticized him and reported him to the school authority for inappropriate incursion into their privacy. However, three of his schoolmates; Dustin Moskovitz, Chris Hughes and Eduardo Saverin stood by him all along, believed in his vision and urged him on. After the humiliating apology the school authority made him tender, he withdrew to himself, away from other students, except the three schoolmates who believed in him. They gave him a few ideas here and there and together they developed "The Facebook" which today is a global success.
Don't force yourself on people!
For every five persons that detest you, there are several thousands out there waiting to celebrate what you carry, if only you persevere.
Who are the people you surround yourself with?
Are they dream killers or destiny helpers?
Show me your friends and I will show you your destiny.

LESSONS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of Facebook)-004

 BEGINNING SMALL

 Mark launched the Facebook from his dormitory in Havard. At that, point in time, that was the much he could afford. He didn't wait until he could afford to rent a hall, invite dignitaries, make elaborate preparations and advertisements before starting off his dream. He did not wait for the "perfect setting" to get started. He started from where he was, with what he had! Friends procrastination is the thief of time. Kick-start that dream NOW, irrespective of the many inadequacies and God will bring destiny helpers your way, to help you nurture it to the next level....only if you start NOW!

LESSONS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of facebook)-003

 MEET A NEED, MAKE MONEY

 Later, the students at Havard requested that the school authority create a site that would compile the pix and details of old & current students. The school was not forthcoming. Mark cashed in on this NEED and created a wider programme, known as "the facebook", this time, not using the school site. What is the need in your community? Meet that need, and you might be on the way to creating wealth!

LESSONS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of facebook)-002:

 UNDYING SPIRIT

  When Mark got to Havard, he hacked into the school site and developed a programme he called "facemash", which put the pix of two students side by side and asked users to vote on which is "hotter". The school authority frowned at it, closed down the site, made him apologise publicly and were to sanction him. But he did not let these kill his dream. No matter your hurdles, don't give up!

LESSONS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of facebook) -001

 PARENTAL FACTOR

 Mark was born into a 'medical' family. His father is a dentist, while his mother is a psychiatrist. Yet, they did not persuade him to follow their own career line, but rather encouraged him to pursue his own dream, from his hobby. He showed interest in computers at an early age and the parents hired a private computer tutor for him. Destinies are maximised when parents encourage childhood potentials.

 

LESSONS FROM MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of facebook)

 Born May 14th 1984, this young man launched facebook in 2004 from his dormitory room in Havard and rose so rapidly to become the youngest billionaire ever. Times Magazine Man Of The Year 2010, and an enviable wealth listing by Forbes. What are the factors that brought Mark such amazing accomplishments? Can you also replicate that in your own life? Please join me as I start a new series tomorrow, and unearth the secrets of this global successful brand. Ready?

 

SECRET OF LONGEVITY(010)

 SHAPE UP

 Research shows that regular excercise can help prevent or delay a laundry list of diseases, including heart disease, colon cancer, diabetes and even Alzheimer's disease. Aim for at least 30minutes of moderately intense excercise, five days a week, minimum. And it is never too late to start a fitness programme. The key here is CONSISTENCY. To get the desired result, you must be consistent at it, and not just a one-time show. Have you observed your excercise today?

 

SECRET OF LONGEVITY(009)

GET REGULAR CHECK-UPS

 Find a good doctor and make good health a priority. Many diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease and others can be treated or even prevented if caught early enough. Embark on regular comprehensive medical check-ups at least once a year. Some diseases might not give u symptons until they begin to develop complications. That u are not sick, does not mean that u are healthy.

 

SECRET OF LONGEVITY(008)

 Live in the present; accept what comes your way, appreciate it, learn from it and let go. Resisting the natural flow of things generates negative emotions with grossly negative rebound effect on your body system. You may not be pleased with your present position, but while you work at moving up, appreciate where you are and be happy. Do not forever ruminate over negative events in your life or past failures; learn from them and move on.

 

SECRETS OF LONGEVITY(007)

SECRETS OF LONGEVITY(006)

GENETICS

Researchers have identified a human gene firmly linked to aging and longevity. People with a specific form of a gene are likely to live longer, healthier lives than those without it. "If you want to live a long, healthy lives, choose your parents carefully", commented medical geneticist Bob Williamson, dean of Melbourne University's Faculty of Medicine. But are we opportuned to choose our parents? Thus, couple's genetics influences the longevity of their children.

SECRETS OF LONGEVITY(005)

Choose a congenial occupation. Ordinarily, most people spend more time at work than at home. So the nature and environment of your job plays a vital role in how long you will live. Go on vacation once a year. All work without play, cuts short the life of Jack! Be optimistic about the future and live within your means.

SECRETS OF LONGEVITY(004)

Persons who have happy marriage/relationships have a tendency to live longer. Hence you should endeavour to make a conscious effort to have a fulfilling matrimony. I was the compere (mc) in the 50th birthday celebration of a senior professional colleague recently. I stood up his wife and requested the guests to clap for her, because she PERMITTED the husband to live that long. I told them at that function that "how long you live depends on how long your spouse permit you to live"!

SECRETS OF LONGEVITY (003)

  Exerciseregularly. It doesn't have to be vigorous, it only has to be regular. Take time to meditate from time to time. Regularly practice balanced refined breathing; breathe in, hold your breathe for a while and breathe out again. Listen to your body! Your body will always give you signals of comfort and discomfort. Whenever it gives u signals of discomfort, STOP and take a break...

SECRETS OF LONGEVITY (002)

Maintain a high level of personal hygiene, extending this to your immediate environment. Get plenty of fresh air, sunlight and rest. Make time for regular, enjoyable leisure time and satisfying hobbies.

SECRETS OF LONGEVITY

FOOD & DRINKS

The nature and quantity of food you take and what time you take it plays a far-reaching role in determining how long you live! Eat fresh food(avoid processed food as much as possible), eat fresh fruits daily before meal, eat frugally(don`t stuff your stomach), drink wholesome liquids, abstain from stimulants and sedatives and aim to move your bowel once a day. Once it is 8pm, consider food as a potential poison! Indeed, you are what you eat...

SECRETS OF LONGEVITY

Why do some people live long and others don't ? Is there a secret to long life, or is it just a matter of chance & luck? Join me tomorrow as i start a new series on the topic: "SECRETS OF LONGEVITY". Are you ready???

MY TWIN COMPANIONS

 I TOUGHENED MY SKIN

 This is my second companion. Each time I passed through a challenging tunnel, I toughen my skin! How? By looking beyond the difficulties and focusing on the end-result! I visualize myself enjoying the fruits of the labour, and overlook the sufferings of the labour. That is a magical tonic! So, these are my "twin companions". (1)I deafen my ears (2)I toughen my skin. Thanks for sharing my TONIC...

MY TWIN COMPANIONS

I DEAFEN MY EARS

  All through my journey so far, I have learnt to deafen my ears to rumours and destructive critisms about my person. Over the years, the perpetrators of these rumours have turned around full cycle to congratulate me on my many successes, with some apologising outrightly. If I had allowed their unfounded rumours to dampen my spirit, the people would have congratulated them, rather than me! So friends, do you want to be congratulated? Then you must deafen your ears.

MY TWIN COMPANIONS

Over the years, I have been able to surmount several mountains to achieve my goals at every level of my journey; some of them very monsterous! This I've been able to achieve because when I encounter challenges on the way, I turn to them and they give me the needed tonic to move on. Do you wish to know these two great companions of mine? Keep a date with me tomorrow as I commence the shortest of my series so far titled "My Twin Companion"

A NEW BEGINNING (010).

REVIEW/PRAY DAILY

Everyday, take time out to review how well your goals for the year are being actualized. Where you find a deficiency, address it pronto! Why wait till December 31st to review your goals ? Make DAILY resolutions instead of new YEAR resolution. And as you review and re-plan, prayerfully on daily basis, commit them to the hands of God. For when you secure it in the spirit realm, you obtain cheap victory in the physical.

A NEW BEGINNING (009). 

THINK HARD, WORK. HARD! 

If you will expect this year to be more fruitful than last year, you must THINK hard and WORK hard! I like the way Proverbs 22 verse 29 puts it: seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men.

A NEW BEGINNING (008). 

DELAY YOUR GRATIFICATION! 

This year, determine not to impress or compete materially with anybody. If your car can still move you around, you don't need a new one. If your boxed-tv still shows images, you don't need a plasma. Invest that fund into your vision. When it grows and brings forth fruits, you can then finance your luxury from the fruits, without killing the tree. Be wise!

A NEW BEGINING (007). 

TRY AGAIN! 

Last year, you tried your hands on some ventures, with unsatisfactory outcome. This made you a bit skeptical about another venture. What you should do this year is to ask yourself TWO frank questions: (1) What did I do, that I was not supposed to have done? (2)What was I supposed to do that I did not do? Arm yourself with answers to these questions and try again!

A NEW BEGINNING (006).

PROCASTINATE NO MORE!

You spent the whole of last year. "Planning", waiting for the IDEAL setting! Truth is, the 'ideal' time might never come. This year, with the 'little' in your hands, get started, NOW! Helpers Of Destiny are waiting to lend you a hand, but will never do so until you set the ball rolling...

A NEW BEGINING (005). 

RE-PACKAGE YOURSELF

If you will continue to command attention, you must continuously re-package yourself/business. People sure like "new" things! Have you seen Toyota Camry 2012 model? Even those who have the 2010 model are itching to drop them for this latest one. This year, re-package the way u dress, the way you talk/walk, the things you say, the places you go to, the company you keep, your business environment, your service delivery/attitude to customers...

A NEW BEGINNING (004).

 DROP SOME 'FRIENDS'.

 If this year will turn out better than last year, you must drop some friends that you related closely with last year and deliberately make new ones that will assist in moving you to the next level. Ask yourself, what VALUE has this person added to my life in the past year(s)? Is he/she a dream killer, a negative influence or a motivational factor. Indeed, show me your friends, and I will show you how far you will go in 2012...

A NEW BEGINNING (003).

SHUT UP...

Having written down your goals for 2012 and committed them in prayers unto God, can you please shut up? Of what use is blabbing about it to people who have no role to play in its accomplishments? Many destinies have been frustrated by people whom we share our visions with. So be wise this year, put your tongue in check and watch your dreams come through.

A NEW BEGINNING (002).

WHERE'S YOUR PLAN?

If you want to build a hut in a slum, you really need no plan. But if you will build a mansion in a high-brow area of the city, you sure must approach the relevant agencies with a building plan. Sit down and put in black & white, your goals for 2012 & assign an expected date of accomplishment to each of them. Going through the year without a plan of action is like boarding a bus without a destination!.

A NEW BEGINNING (001).

SPIRITUAL COMMITTANCE

May I request of you to declare a three-day fast and prayers for the realization of your expectations in 2012? Pardon me if I offend your sense of 'spirituality'. But, truth is, a smooth-ride in the physical is the product of victory in the spiritual.

MY THOUGHTS ON SPIRITUAL POWER IN THE CHURCH Most Christians see their pastors as the main reservoirs of heavenly powers. So they run to their pastors at every little challenge, for spiritual intervention. Most pastors enjoy this dependence and indirectly encourage it. I think the original plan of the Master is to make EVERY believer a reservoir of power and not a dependent appendage to their spiritual leaders...just thinking aloud.

DON'T LET YOUR PAST SEND YOU TO HELL

Most of us have made mistakes at some points in our lives. Some of which have put a "stigma" on our personality. We've been to God in true repentance, but often we fail to forgive ourselves and yet live in the memories of our past errors, with a deep feeling of regret & inferiority to other 'saints'... To resign to a life of perpetual iniquity because of a past error, is to settle for eternal damnation.

WHY PASTOR'S CHILDREN ARE STUBBORN ! 

Most pastors are faced with the daily challenges of handling children whose characters contradict their teachings and pose an embarrassment to their ministry. Apart from satanic attacks, it is my opinion that these kids grow up to see people reverse their parents. But in their closet, they watch these servants of God do and say things that contradict their sermons!...

MY THOUGHTS ON CHURCH

The church is a bus in which we are travelling to heaven; our ultimate destination. If the bus is faulty or the driver is reckless, if I truly desire to arrive at my destination, then I MUST alight and join another sound bus. Many will miss heaven, because they are dogmatically committed to their church, seeing it as the ultimate, rather than a mere agent of conveyance...

KILLERS OF DESTINY (010)

 SEXUAL INDISCIPLINE

 He/ she that will fulfilldestiny must keep his/her sexual desires under lock and key. The cheapest way to truncate your destiny is to be sexually promiscuous.

KILLERS OF DESTINY (009). 

GIVING UP

Most destinies are truncated by giving up a few metres to the point of breakthrough. Disappointments and failures are the fuel needed to power the engine of destiny. He/she that will fulfill destiny must be STEADFAST and PERSISTENT in the face of oppositions and challenges

KILLERS OF DESTINY (008). 

LAZINESS

"Every fulfilled destiny is baked in the oven of Hard work". (-Dr Thomas Wilson). Show me a lazy man and I will show you a man whose destiny with decay right before his very eyes. Proverbs 22:29 puts it this way: "Seest thou a man DILIGENT in his business? he shall stand before kings; he shall not stand before mean men".

 KILLERS OF DESTINY (007). 

GREED/COVETOUSNESS

It is good to be ambitious. But contentment is being at peace with yourself as per your position per time, in your journey toward fulfilling destiny. The inner passion drives your vision and increases your hunger. But greed and covetousness will truncated any destiny.

KILLERS OF DESTINY (006). 

PRIDE

It takes humility to fulfill destiny. When someone is proud and arrogant, destiny helpers are repelled from such a one. Even if he achieves a degree of success, he/she is sure to retrogress or at best remain at a spot, far below his destiny.

KILLERS OF DESTINY (005). 

ORAL INDISCIPLINE:

Anyone who will fulfill destiny must avoid idle talks. Such a fellow must ALWAYS engage his brain before engaging his/her mouth. Many persons with promising future have had their destinies truncated as a result of unguided utterances, which chase away their destiny helpers, reduce their worth in the eyes of people and land them in serious trouble.

KILLERS OF DESTINY (004). 

SPIRITUAL LAZINESS: 

Many destinies have been destroyed as a result of satanic manipulations in the spiritual realm. Anyone who will live to fulfill destiny must be spiritually ACTIVE, because what we see in the physical is a product of spiritual settlements. The quest for spiritual security has pushed many to join cults, which have landed them in unexpected destinations. I recommend to you Christ Jesus, the true security: The Rock!

KILLERS OF DESTINY (003). 

ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE ABUSE:  

Abuse of alcohol, cocaine, heroine, marijuana, can destroy the destiny of any man/woman. All of these should be avoided vehemently, irrespective of peer pressures and people that consume them should not be in any way close to our inner circle.

KILLERS OF DESTINY (002). 

BAD ASSOCIATION: 

Show me your Friends and I will show you your Destiny. The people you relate closely with, sooner or later will determine whether your dreams will come true or die a mirage.

KILLERS OF DESTINY(001). 

PROCASTINATION: 

This is one of the most lethal "demons" in the arsenals of the opposition. The manifestation of every destiny is a function of time and space. When you keep postponing till tomorrow, that which should be done today, the beauty of your destiny might never come to manifestation.

 

KILLERS OF DESTINY. 

Many young people are seen with the potential for greatness lying inside of them. Some even receive prophecies from respected men of God on how the world will soon celebrate them. But some never rise beyond their point of discovery. Others rise, only to crash at some points. Are there KILLERS of destinies? What/Who are they? Join me in a new series starting tomorrow. Are u ready???

MY PRESCRIPTION FOR NIGERIA (005).

The major cog in the wheel of Nigeria's progress is CORRUPTION! The FG should establish special courts to try cases of financial misappropriations. Conviction should be secured within 6months, because frivolities and un-neccessary adjournments will not be entertained.

THE LAW OF SOWING 010. 

THE THEORY OF ABUNDANCE

When you cultivate the habit of sowing into people's life, the Creator recognizes that. He in turn supplies you with more than your need. So when people approach you for assistance, they are only asking you for what is RIGHTFULLY theirs! God put their wealth into your hands, trusting that when they come asking for it, you will be faithful enough to give it to them. If you refuse them, He will withdraw it and leave you with the supply, just enough for you!

THE LAW OF SOWING 009. 

NEVER RETRIEVE YOUR SEED

Whenever you sow a seed into someone's life, never, under whatever circumstance, ask the person to return the seed to you; no matter how angry you are or frustrated about the person later. If he returns your seed, he has returned a CURSE!

THE LAW OF SEWING 008.

  DO NOT SOW BY BARTER

Do not give to someone because you also expect him to give to you in return, in anticipation of an impending request you intend to make.

THE LAW OF SOWING 007.  

THE SOIL (amplified): 

Two days ago, I said before you sow into the life of anyone with "poverty of the mind" you must first till the soil of his mind and deposit clusters of manure therein. Educate him to fish for himself, while you support him with the much you can. If not, he will exhaust your gift & return to you again & again, to the point that you get frustrated & angry. At this point you can do or say things that will make you loose your reward. (http://www.thomasswilson.blogspot.com/)

THE LAW OF SOWING 007. 

PREPARE THE SOIL

Before you sow into the life of anyone with "poverty of the mind", you must first till the soil of his mind, and deposit clusters of manure therein, so that your seed can bring forth fruits.

THE LAW OF SOWING 006. 

PROPORTIONALITY

When you sow a seed into someone's life, the size of your SEED must be relative to the size of your POCKET for it to bring forth fruits.

THE LAW OF SOWING 005. 

GOOD SEED

No farmer sows a dead seed and expects a harvest thereafter! Ensure that the seed you are sowing is WORTHWHILE. It should be a QUALITY seed that may even pinch you and cause you momentary inconvenience. "Good seed yields good harvest, poor seed yields poor harvest, and dead seed yields dead harvest"

THE LAW OF SOWING 004. 

ARROGANCE

When you sow a seed into someone's life, it must be done with HUMILITY on your part. Don't see the beneficiary as a beggar whom you are SAVING with the crumbs that has fallen from your table. If you sow arrogantly, you have received your reward.

THE LAW OF SOWING 003. 

SHUT UP!

When you sow a seed into someone's life, do not tell ANYONE about it. Indeed, persuade the beneficiary not to tell it to anyone that the gift came from you!...it didn't anyway. "It takes a SECRET sowing, to have an OPEN harvest" ...Dr. Thomas S. Wilson

LAW OF SOWING 002.
  
  DO NOT MURMUR

When you sow a seed into someone's life, never you turn around to grumble or harbour regret in your mind concerning the seed, no matter how precious or costly the seed was to you, or how "undeserving" the beneficiary is. Murmuring is to a gift, what hot water is to a seed

THE LAW OF SOWING 001.

EXPECT NOTHING

 When you sow a seed into someone's life, your expectations determine whether it will bring forth fruits unto you or not. Do not give with the expectation of receiving anything(not even a "thank you") from the receiver. Only then can you expect to receive reward from above!

THE LAW OF SOWING. 

THE PREAMBLE

Three factors are necessary, if a planted seed will blossom and bring forth fruits in the life of the giver. 

1. The knowledge of the SOWER

2. The quality of the SEED. 

3. The nature of the SOIL. 

We shall focus on these serially in the next couple of days. May your gifts not be in VAIN !

Tomorrow I shall begin a series on "The Law Of Sowing". We go through life,DAILY sowing seeds, without knowing it! TODAY is the harvest of the seeds we sowed YESTERDAY! What is sowing? Why must I sow? Where must I sow? When must I sow?. How must I sow? How can my sowing be fruitful? When must I STOP sowing? Ready???

ENTREPRENEURSHIP 010
CUSTOMER CARE
Always make your customers feel important. Treat them with royalty and show interest in their wellbeing. A goodwill text message for a birthday, wedding anniversary, Xmas, Easter etc means a lot!
Teach your staff: THE CUSTOMER IS KING

ENTREPRENEURSHIP 009. 

BEWARE OF PARTNERSHIP.

If you must join capital and or expertise with a partner as a start-up, then the terms must be clearly DEFINED. Get a lawyer to prepare the documents BEFORE commencement of operations.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP 008
CREATIVITY
As a start-up, why must people abandon their former customers and stick to you?...only if you offer them something more appealing!
Introduce what's'missing in others' and you will be sure to command attention!

ENTREPRENEURSHIP 007.  

HONESTY & INTEGRITY

If you want your enterprise to stand the test of time, you must exhibit honesty and integrity in ALL your dealings."Short-cuts" will cut your business short on the long run. The image of honesty & integrity OR fraudulent manipulations that you carve for yourself now, will become your LABEL , and will determine the altitude and destiny of your business.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP 006. 

LAW OF INCUBATION

The day you plant a seed is not the day it will germinate and bring forth fruits! Every start-up business has an INCUBATION period, when nothing appears to be happening. It is not a period to quit, but to look inward, be innovative and markety.

ENTREPRENEURSHIP 005.
