THE BOLDNESS OF A LEADER

THE BOLDNESS OF A LEADER.



I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.
Alexander the Great.

In life, it really, really matters who you follow. It matters who leads you. Followers are a reflection of who they tenaciously and faithfully follow.

John C. Maxwell said " leadership is influence". Through his attitude, you can easily tell who a man is following or who is his mentor. It is that powerful. That is why an army of sheep led by a lion will be very dangerous. Such an army will be made up of flesh eating, blood drinking  and bone cracking sheep, compared to the grass digesting lions. With time you become  like who you harken to.

In football for example the team with the best players don't always win the tournament. Most times, It is the team that is in harmony with the manager that wins.

How do you explain this? No member of the entire French FIFA world cup winning team in Russia was among the three last  nominees for the FIFA best player of the year award. In fact the award went to the captain of the loosing team in the final. They may not have Christiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi
, yet they won because they played according to the instructions of their manager who by the way was a former world cup winning captain.

Whoever is leading you is very crucial to your destiny.
Always remember this who you follow as a leader determines your achievement.

THE PRICE FOR GREATNESS (SEASON TWO)              PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT. Personal Development is a must for everyone that wants to achieve greatness. Someone once said that the largest room on earth is the room for improvement, no matter the level you are right now, there is always a better way of doing whatever you are doing. Life was programmed for growth and development. The best thing you will ever do to yourself as a person is to regularly develop and improve yourself.  According to Ben Carson  quoting from his book "Take the Risk" he said that there are two worlds in this world, that many of us will never get to the next world simple because we don't read, and if i want  to explain what i think he meant is that, there are things nobody will tell us or teach us, they are waiting for us inside different books. There are things to discover and uncover they are all waiting for you inside a book.  People have taken years...

                                                 SELF IMAGE.  Nobody will appreciate and celebrate you, if you don't appreciate and celebrate yourself. The image you paint about yourself is what gives you the courage to pursue what God has designed for you. Self image is simply how you see yourself as a person. The way you see yourself that is how life will accept you. Loosing yourself image will make you loose everything in life.   Don't wait for people to tell you how special and wonderful you are, Always understand that every man is a raw material in the making. Nobody sees and celebrate the beauty of a raw material, until it has gone through the processing stage into a finished product. You are in your processing stage! You will surely get to your finishing... Remember to always believe in who you are because you are heading s...

           THE DAY CALL TOMORROW.    Tomorrow does not really exist, tomorrow is the only day that exist in the dictionary of lazy people.  Never you postpone what you are suppose to do today for tomorrow.  The truth be told today was that tomorrow you talked about yesterday. Take advantage of your today, do everything that you need to do, because it is what you do today that will determine your colourful tomorrow. The expectations of tomorrow begins with the rightul use of today. Growing up as a little boy,  most of the mini shop around us will place a notice board that reads "No credit today please come tomorrow"  Going back home believing i can get something for credit tomorrow, only for me to return tomorrow and still find the same statement.  Someone might be laughing at me, but lets pause for a minute and think, will tomorrow ever come? O yes ! Your tomorrow is already here.. Do whatever you are s...
