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 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...
