The Factors of Life....Intro



Life is a parade of complexity which without efforts, seeded in time, cannot be demystified. Every mind begins in state of tabularasa, yet not all ends as such. This gives a clue that even if one decides not to achieve anything, one ends up only to achieve nothing. Whether you accept it or not, there are factors of life that affect your input and output in life. As we take on this journey to the exploration of the factors of life, the only way to be carried along is to have an unbiased mindset.


Most of the time you thrive in some things, yet in some others, you do not. All your efforts could be nothing if not well articulated and considered appropriate. The man who is given ten hours to cut down a tree must choose to decide the best ways to carry out the task. The possibilities are: he may dissipate all his energy in the function and become tired at the end; he may actualize the function in less than ten hours; more so, he may become a victim of circumstance, probably, on cutting the tree it falls on him and he dies. Whether he is alive or not, the story will be told of how the tree was cut down. These I have mentioned are anticipatory occurrences which are on the platform of possibility. 

For him to dissipate energy, preferably, means that he was using a blunt knife and for him to cut the tree in less than ten hoursmeans he, actually, leveraged the act by taking enough time out to sharpen his knife. Now so farhim to be a victim of circumstance may infer that he had never learnt the art of falling trees, so to speak. However, there are factors behind his success, failures, or predicament which were paid attention, fully. For you to succeed, you must pay attention to detail. The attention is on “the how to” and “how not to” in carrying out procedures. I write to let you know that the outcome of any event depends on the law of total compliance – which is not half obeyed, but usually in full. This is implied to let you know that with or without your consent there are factors affecting your life both positively and negatively. The implied factors could be failure, success, freedom, self – discovery, purpose, fear, even God.
You see the above mentioned factors have a place in your life, more or less.

No individual has sufficient experience, education, native ability, and knowledge to insure the accumulation of a great fortune, without the cooperation of other people.

Life without factors will amount to nothing.

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 Power of Focus

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. - Tony Robbins Concentration is the magic key that opens the door to accomplishment. By concentrating your efforts upon a few major goals, your efficiency soars, your projects are completed - you are going somewhere. By focusing your efforts to a single point, you achieve the greatest results. ....the power of focus The first rule of success, and the one that supersedes all others, is to have energy. It is important to know how to concentrate it, how to husband it, how to focus it on important things instead of frittering it away on trivia.  Singleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be one's aim.  The giants of the race have been men of concentration, who have struck sledge-hammer blows in one place until...

LEADERSHIP REFLECTIONS 8

The essence of leadership is continuity such that the poineer leader endeavours to raise people to continue from where he or she stops thereby forming an endless ripple effect from one generation to another. Hence, the relevance of any leadership is to the degree that it is able to outlive itself after having transformed the players into their ideal selves. After the leadership success is achieved, it automatically becomes a template for the followers to build upon. What this means is that when success is attained, it almost becomes obsolete for the next generation, which will require innovation and tweaking if contuinity is intended within their spheres of abilities. Are your intentions in leadership geared towards continuity? Elvis C. Umez Leadership Consultant School of Leadership Development (SOLD) IDB Consult
