the diary of an ALIEN

We should understand by now that we are aliens here on earth, and our purpose is what we have to discover, talk, walk, leave monuments of impact, and then will enjoy rest. Our position on earth is transitory classified. We only have a duty to perform, like we all know, when purpose is not known abuse is inevitable by all means. Funny enough, this principle apply to every aspect of our lives. To this end, I would say that when a man does not understand and know his purpose in life, two things are bound to happen; he would abuse himself and more so, abuse everything that he encounters, yet not take responsibility for them, rather would blame God and nature. This has caused so many frictions in life, who can tell. The truth is you can not actually tell what your life entails until you know the purpose for which your life is made, which will you an organized thought pattern, simplified life style. By this I would reflect that “you can not under estimate the unimportance of practically everything” Diary of an alien is supposed to oppose every sense of irresponsibility, negligence, value system, and the sense of indecency that has left us relegated to mundane things. Now you may begin to think what I call mundane, I mean that anything we do outside our purpose in life is mundane because it does not reflect our potentials. Now let me tell you may wonder at this that we are always fulfilling purpose at one time or the other, that is to say you are fulfilling someone else’s purpose not yours. Fulfilling purpose has two facets, you either God’s purpose or devil’s. We do this by default. That means we fulfill purpose by default, that is way our lives functions, even when is abusing his or herself, you are still functioning under the purpose of self destruction which the devil usually perpetrate. The yardstick to measure this is not in the amount of money one is able to acquire in a life’s time. Purpose is not a function of how much money one has, but the relative impact your life makes in a life time, which supposedly has left indelible mark in people’s lives. That is eternalizing your name in the hearts of men. This is fulfilling purpose. We can not forget the likes of Mahatma Gandhi of India, Martin Luther King Jr, George Washington of the United States of America, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, Henry Fords of Fords Motors, Thomas Edison, Michael Faraday, to mention just a few. You see that how much indelible becomes or can be is a function of fulfilling purpose.

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS In the just previous essay I pointed out the three major right attitudes the leader must have in his or her bid to influence the collaborators, which are: he or she must always come up with superior argument, be grounded in wisdom and knowledge, and be proactive in proffering solutions that make problems go away. However, today, I am going to be discussing the dynamics of influencing the collaborators and the point of influence associated with them in the progressive transformation of the cycle of leadership. In the cycle of leadership, the leader is given a goal to transform followers who got attracted to them by the leadership vision into becoming disciples who by a series of teaching learning of the principles that make for good leadership are transformed into collaborators who have eventually discovered their leadership purpose and are willing to either sustain the work being done by the leader or are launched out as leaders in order to ...

The Decision Factor

In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing, the next best thing is the wrong thing, and the worst thing you can do is nothing. - Theodore Roosevelt “The value of decisions depends upon the courage required to render them. The great decisions, which served as the foundation of civilization, were reached by assuming great risks, which often meant the possibility of death.” “The majority of people who fail to accumulate money sufficient for their needs, are, generally, easily influenced by the ‘opinions’ of others.” Were the words of Napoleon Hill, in his book, Think and Grow Rich. He continued, “They permit the newspapers and the ‘gossiping’ neighbours to do their ‘thinking’ for them. ‘Opinions are the cheapest commodities on earth. Everyone has a flock of opinions ready to be wished upon anyone who  will accept  them. If you are influenced by ‘opinions’  when you  reach DECISIONS, you will not succeed in  any undertaking ...

LEADERSHIP REFELCTIONS 19

The spectator syndrome has the most devastating effect on any leadership whose pioneer leaders allow the crowd to tell them what to do and what not. This syndrome creates the same effect created by back seat drivers who believe they know how the driver should drive. They talk with so much proficiency that could make you consider their suggestions, which is rather a distraction in a kind. Pioneer leaders should understand that distractions only come because they are focused and should never allowed themselves to be diffused into the words of those suffering from the syndrome. Every leadership is navigated by a game plan that only the leaders see. While it could be suggested that they are not doing what they are supposed to, it is important to note that their perceptive in the field of play differ from those standing aside and observing. In the football field, there could be a million spectators, yet only 22 players touch the ball. The players who score the most goals understand how to...
