Forty years is just 10 World Cups away. Take your life very seriously. Pursue your goals. This is August already, and soon we shall land, by His grace, in 2016. It's never to late to start. Time runs. The best time to have planted a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is NOW. Start something. You'll never regret for starting TODAY. 2 Likes |

menzo4u: That was indeed very great. An act is greater than 20000 words. I'm very proud of you. By now, it should be obvious that fear is just a ploy to rob your colleagues of the vital lessons they will gain from you. I'm passionate about vision.....A lot of people don't have any vision; they simply live from day to day. You can do a little more reading on that topic and you're good to go. Once again, fear has no power over you. 2 Likes |

menzo4u: I think the person who dropped these words is in a better position to explain to us all. But I think the quote is more appropriate for people who have succeeded greatly in their chosen so much so that whenever their names are mentioned, people easily recognise them, and give them the respect due them. You might be yet to attain that level at the moment. The quote should actually encourage you to carve out a niche for yourself in this present world. That's my own version of the words. |
Re: A Thread For Personal Development, Self Growth And Motivation! by bare1(m): 7:52pm On Aug 03, 2015 |
@Menzo4u Be careful who you sample your idea with, as many people are guilty of not moving forward themselves. If you speak to a person comfortable with being stagnant, then what advise can they offer you about growth. If you speak to someone who doesn't find the desire to be better, they most likely would not want you to be better. So many influences on your mind eventually leads to procrastination or poor decision making. |

Without a deliberate and conscious effort from us, we can hardly succeed in this life. Only a tiny number of people succeeds by sheer luck. Success requires thinking, planning, action and rethinking. We must be determined to be useful to ourselves and our society. If we live ANY HOW, we will see ANY HOW. We must live will the end in view. Success doesn't come by mere wishful thinking. Have a great day, and good morning. 1 Like 1 Share |

dearpreye:I thank God for today, your moral support and encouragement has kept me going. I will like to share my challenge and experience with you and others in relation to what happened when I was delivering my speech today. When I started, everyone kept making noise and seems not to be listening to me, it was as if the audience was simply not in my favour. After the speech delivery, I called a guy who also shares in my vision to ask him about what I needed to improve on, and his reply goes thus," First you need to gain their attention before starting your speech delivery". Then I asked him,"How can I gain their (audience) attention?" But his reply was too vague for my comprehension. Please how can I gain the attention of my fellow students (audience) before delivering my speech so that they can listen to me. Thanks. 2 Likes 1 Share |

menzo4u: Once again, I'm delighted at your ongoing success story. The more we practise, the better we become at whatever we're doing. Well, to a very large extent, the means you can deploy to capture the attention of your audience depends on the type of audience you're dealing with. In this particular situation, starting off with a short but profound story could be a very effective means. A joke could also suffice. You could even share your own relevant and captivating story. Or ask a rhetorical thought- provoking question. Cc: bare1 |
Re: A Thread For Personal Development, Self Growth And Motivation! by menzo4u: 6:34pm On Aug 04, 2015 |
dearpreye:Actually, I am addressing fellow students, they are my audience, although as time goes on, I will extend it to other classes. Thanks a lot, I have really picked some points in your post. (More blessing) So tomorrow as you suggested, my topic will be VISION...please I need your hints to backup my own findings. What are the areas I really need to dig into? What can I really say that will really motivate them?etc Thanks. |
Re: A Thread For Personal Development, Self Growth And Motivation! by Nobody: 6:41pm On Aug 04, 2015 |
menzo4u: Ask a few of them to tell you what their vision for life is. You should have known yours na. .LOL! A vision is that purpose for which they were created by God. What motivates them most is their vision. It goes beyond academics. It's goes beyond certificates. It goes beyond their degrees. If any can't tell you their vision in a minute, you can safely conclude they have NO vision. Most of us just live from day to day. We don't even a vision for a week. We don't even have the faintest idea of what we want to become. Getting a degree doesn't automatically translate into having a vision. Our wealth and fame are embedded in our vision. Life's beyond academics. ...beyond the four walls of the higher Institution. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Re: A Thread For Personal Development, Self Growth And Motivation! by bare1(m): 6:54pm On Aug 04, 2015 |
menzo4u: Well done Sir! You seem to be doing great in your speech as it seems you are more in control now. About catching your audience's attention, I think you should be spontaneous. Focus on your subject and place yourself in the audience, then ask yourself those questions that need answers. Say vision for example, what are those rewards of having a vision? Many people desire success, so starting with some sort of punchline concerning what they want would arouse interest. About motivating them, people get motivated by success stories. Learn about successful people - especially those with peculiar stories - and their march to success. Give them your own experiences too to challenge them. Motivation is to the mind, as food is to the stomach. It is required in daily doses to prompt action, so serve it to them everyday. |
