You cannot Save a Man for Himself As the remaining days of this year roll by, wouldn't you rather indulge me to bring to the fore this salient issue? I've taken cognizance that a good chunk of people listen to/have listened to umpteen number of motivational talks/speakers but never seem to get something going. In their last resort, calling motivation speakers liars/thieves and all sorts of names you could think of is a face-saving option. Why? The reason you listen to pep talks over and over again without being charged to drive home your wants/desires is that you relinquish your job duty. You're likely to be impeached for the negligence of duty. No amount of motivational talks can motivate/influence you. Never! Influencing others is more difficult than brain surgery. It doesn't matter how powerful/spell-bounding the written/spoken word is, it remains impotent until you act upon it. Motivational talks are actually to help you self motivate. The Motivation Myth...

What is Understanding? Understanding simply means going under to know what makes something to stand. What actually made #AnthonyJoshua stood/won the rematch? It was because he understood something.

And understand that you are not a failure when you fail to meet an expectation, you have only discovered...

My topic was on Understanding Your Career Trajectory, Beyond Your Degree My talk was about 30 minutes and I took about 15 minutes of questions. Because I had another appointment, I had to leave quickly.  When I was leaving, a young man followed me. He had a career dilemma he needed me to help him solve. You know I have mentioned how much I love solving problems, so as it were, he immediately had my full attention. By now, he was escorting me out of the building, a few steps later, we were waiting for the elevator. I was eager to start our coaching conversation, so I prompted him to go ahead, I asked, 'so what do you do?' He introduced himself, he said he ran his own business, that he was into technology, software development to be precise. Then he added, 'I am 24 years old.' I immediately wanted to steal his youth. Remembering myself at 24, I was full of admiration. ...
