Making money is quite easier than making meaning, but the latter is quite important than the former. It's a grave mistake and misconception to think money is your goal; no thanks to the decadence in our societal and moral values, we have gone astray in our pursuit of money to the detriment of our purpose. Money is never a goal. Money should not be your goal. God didn't create you for the sole purpose of making money, but making meaning. Money is only a reward; a reward for hard work. You add more meaning to your existence the more you put a smile on people's face. You're near fulfilment when people smile at the sound of your name. And that's quintessential what success truly stands for, and not primarily the hard and soft currency in your account. Thus I always insist, you must thrive to be remembered for the life you lived, and not for the money you made.

Competition doesn't build characters, it rather reveals it. Competition enhances the visibility of those latent characters you thought you never had or you knew not they existed. Most often, we misconstrue WHAT our competition is for WHO our competition is. Your competition is not other people. Your competition is your ego, procrastination, lack of creativity, the knowledge you neglect and negative behaviors you're nurturing. Compete with your ego and see how humble you are. Compete with procrastination to see you're a better time stickler. Compete with those negative behaviors and behold a refined version of yourself. Compete with lack of knowledge and others; it is a must win competition.

People manifest in season, just the same way as fruits and other farm produce. Your time and season will surely come. Don't ever think you're failing because you see your friends progressing, that may just be their season of manifestation; I reiterate, your time and season will surely come. While you await your manifestation, it is expedient you get yourself busy enhancing your skills and character. While it may be difficult for you to change your personality, you can successfully rebrand your character. Success begets success! You have to do something, no matter how small it is. The level of success doing that small thing may be the threshold for bigger success. God may be using that to prepare you for the glory ahead. The 'experience gained will definitely amount to something desideratum in the long run. If you think you're too big to manage something small, then consider yourself too small to manage something big (Your manifestation). Or does the Holy Bible not s...

WATCH, LISTEN AND GET INSPIRED

The hardest product to sell is YOURSELF . We are in the era of sales and marketing, where everybody is a buyer and seller. If you still hold on to the believe that sales and marketing is a jurisdiction for a particular discipline, it's high time you let it go. Every one has something to sell in this present digital dispensation; be it skills, service, goods, even YOURSELF. What do you think you are doing when you develop content on your CV and complement it with a Cover Letter? You are literally selling yourself and your products (Skills) to prospective employers that may consider buying you to enhance her own objectives. But because you do not have a price tag, people wouldn't hesitate to bargain for your cheap purchase. More often when your appearance doesn't connote what you have to offer. They will try to judge your book by its cover. It is your responsibility to know value of your worth, lest people devalue you. Your value doesn't have to decrease based on so...

Unsuccessful people measure success with money, titles, positions. Successful people measure success with how much difference they made in other people's life. Being a First Class graduate doesn't make you successful until you impact your knowledge into people's life. A business mogul won't be tagged successful until his philanthropy is felt by people. Our success is measured by others, and the yardstick is our much of your impact is felt. Your level of kindness is your level of success. Be kind to people no matter what!

"Stop waiting for dream jobs, or you'll live all your life in dreams. You never know whether it will come." Instead, acquire skills and all necessary resources (which may come from another career field) to accelerate and ascend into that dream job. If you studied Engineering and a bank job comes your way, take it! But always make transition plan to Engineering in order to fulfill your passion for that dream job. *_peptalk today

There is still more light to see, more darkness to blind There is still more Ignorance to kill, more knowledge to save There is still more good to pay, more evil to reward There is still more time to waste, and more time to harness There is still more opportunities to gain, more opportunities to lose And there is still more future to make, and more future to mar Whichever one you subscibe to, know fully well that there is still more choice to make. Always Make the Right One. #peptalk_today

Twelve and Dozen is the same. Always remember this when ever APC---PDP hoax comes to mind. "Fool me once, shame on you! Fool me twice, shame on me!" Shame on me for what? For not learning from your mistake! One had fooled us for 16 good years and they seek to do same again. The other is fooling us with the hope to do more for another 4 years. This is the bitter truth, fellow citizens Stupidity is knowing the truth, seeing the truth, but still believing the lies. Youths wise up! Awake from your sheer stupidity. Don't be deceived by their peddled "Next Level" and "Get Nigeria Working Again" policy documents, they are compendium of blatant lies. The biggest failure is the failure to try. A bad system will beat a good person every time, this I know; but you cannot do the same thing the same way and expect different result. Impossible! Why can't we try change our approach? We can together change our narrative. We can rewrite our story. Your VOTE can...

Mathematics may not have shown us how to substrate sorrow and add happiness, but it does show us that to every problem, there is a solution. Brilliant, isn’t? Come to think of this: in a scenario when the problem couldn't be deciphered, or the people are ignorant of the problem, what will be the fate of the solution? It will definitely not be useful because it's not needful. That's the pinnacle of our quagmire. Our so-called leaders rather address them as rulers, are a dearth of the diagnostic capacity to x-ray our problems, hence the solution is far away from them.  If there is a sector that should never have suffered neglect or setback, it’s the education sector. Alas! It's the most bedeviled and much-beleaguered sector in Nigeria. Its purpose is not known, hence the inevitability of the abuse. We've all had our own fair share of the toll of ASUU strike as students. We have seen right before our eyes how 3 years durational course took 5 years to complete. W...
