Hey bob, can I get a chance to talk to you? Ok here goes...I know
you know it would be Christmas soon, yeah! Depends on the part of
the world you come from, you can't miss all the hustling and
bustling in the air, the sweet Christmas carol songs blared on radio
and television stations, the “mad” rush to shop-till-you-drop
syndrome, hahaha...its everywhere because its Christmas season.
Ok Bob, let reason together...how much have you spent so far for
shopping this Christmas? I mean on gift items, food stuffs, toys,
Christmas trees and lightens, etc...have you been able to buy
everything on your Christmas shopping list? If you have, good! Now
for the big one....... Have much have you put aside for the rainy
day when the New Year rolls in? ( Did I hear you
whistle?**winks**)

You know we just throw caution to the wind and spend and spend
and spend! I must tell you, it gives a whole thrill of joy when in the
mood, but after all the chicken and the rice and the meat and the
casserole and all the “eatables”, we begin to feel the pangs of how
much we've spent... But I like to tell you that if you want to avoid
being broke from January, start planning right from December!
Trust me, it helps! While others are begging and wishing, you will
begin to smile because you won't feel a pinch of the crunch!...sounds
“Mafiaric” right? Hahaha...

People fail to plan ahead during this holiday season, I don't blame
them though, because I was once in their shoes, but I have learnt
Bob, to THINK AHEAD! Don't ever forget to plan for your
tomorrow, because whether you like it or not, you will still walk into
it, and whatsoever you have planted into it, that you will meet when
you get there. Wise men say that “...he who fails to plan has planned
to fail”
I can lend you a tip or two that could help you Bob, want to get it?
Ok here goes...

Tip Number one: Set aside a little amount of your income
consistently till the end of the year. That can start you off for the
New Year.
Tip Number two: No matter how great the urge is to put your hands
into what you are saving, refuse to compromise! Remember the
future!
Tip Number Three: Have a SPECIFIC plan of what to do with what
you have saved. That way, you know what you have achieved.
Follow these steps faithfully and I tell you, you will come thanking
me later!

I want to see you prosper in the New Year! Merry Christmas!

What-Do-You-See?

What-Do-You-See?

“We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars. -
Oscar Wilde.”

That's a popular saying that makes sense, lots of it. Many of us
believe that we are disadvantaged in life right from the start, but on
the contrary, we're not. Every person in this world all begin from the
same starting line, we are all born into this same world. Our “birth”

is our starting line, and we are all given 24hours to work with. While
some of us use it wisely, others toy with it. Time is available to all,
what we do with it, is up to us, which is our responsibility that
defines what we become in life.
No doubt life deals us cruel blows sometimes, but what do you look
at when you are in the “gutter” of life? Are you overwhelmed by
what you see? Do you say “Humph.....this place stinks!”? Are you
looking at the problem or you are thinking of the solution? Are you
looking at what the problem has caused you or what you will
become when you solve it? It all depends on what you see dearie...How do you see things? Do you see the problems or do you
see the limitless opportunities? Believe me opportunities come as
problems in disguise. Only the bold and determined eat its victory
fruit.
Check this out, when the problem of communication arose,
someone thought of something to make it easy to communicate, and
hence devised the telephone, which has undergone lots of
modifications now. Imagine the possibilities in the communication
world now, but it all started with someone taking the initiative to
make things work! What do you see? We are all in the gutter, yes!

You don't have money, true! You've lost your parents or guardians,
true! Still, what do you see? You just have one eye, true! Stevie
Wonder can be you mentor! I can sing but who will buy and promote
my works? Ask the Blind Boys Of Alabama! Wake up kid! You
don't have an excuse not to succeed in life! Just stop, yes STOP
looking at the problem and BEGIN looking at the solution. It may
not come instantly as you want it, but like rain drops, no matter how
little it is, it will surely wet the ground. What you SEE is what you
BECOME! “We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at
the stars” and hence we become STARS indeed! Why not Join us?
What do you see?

Living-Your-Dreams!

Living-Your-Dreams!

Hi friend, how are you doing? I got this thing about dreams...you
when you just sit down and begin to plan things in the air,things you
intend to do in future, and when you are through you just smile a
satisfactory smile. After sometime, say like one year, you start all
over again and begin to dream about THE SAME things you dream t
about sometime ago, and the circle continues just like that.
Let me tell you sincerely, you are WASTING TIME! You are just like a
person who sits in front of a mirror looking at his image and then
forgets about it as soon as he leaves there.
If you really want to achieve anything MEANINGFUL in life,
stop day-dreaming and begin to LIVE YOUR DREAMS! You don't
have to procrastinate anymore, because it would only steal your
invaluable time.
Here are just a few of the things that could help you make your
dreams a reality, viz:


1. Take a BOOK and a PEN and then begin to think deeply.

2. As you think deeply, ideas will come, WRITE them down
quickly, so you don't forget them.

3. When you have satisfactorily exhausted what you want to think
about, ITEMIZE them in order of priority. That is to say, put
them in order of importance.

4. Give yourself a TIME frame of achieving these dreams.

5. After the stipulated time given, give yourself an APPRAISAL
report. In other words, evaluate your success or achievements so far.

See what i mean, it wasn't all that difficult was it? Don't give place
to procrastination, it is the theft of time, YOUR time. Do you know
that the same idea that is flowing in your mind flows in other
people's mind as well? The sole right of ownership of the idea
belongs to the person that is able to BIRTH the idea FIRST! So
beware, that dream of yours might just be in someone else's head,
only TIME will tell who OWN'S the idea. So why not take that little
step and begin living you dreams?
