y 1918, Charles M. Schwab was one of the richest men in the world.

Wole Soyinka, born Akinwande Oluwole Babatunde Soyinka into a Yoruba family in Abeokuta, is a Nigerian playwright and poet. He was awarded the 1986 Nobel Prize in Literature, making him the first African to be honored in that category.

Recently, precisely on the 13th July, 2016, Soyinka hit four scores and two years (82) and these are some of his quotes, (I have put them in categories) that if reflected upon, can improve our outlook on life.

On having and maintaining a well-defined personality.

1. Each time I think I've created time for myself, along comes a throwback to disrupt my private space. Wole Soyinka

2. One has a responsibility to clean up one's space and make it livable as far as one's own resources go. That includes not only material resources, but psychological resources: the commitment of time and a portion of your mind to something when you'd rather be doing something else. Wole Soyinka

3. I am a glutton for tranquility. Wole Soyinka

4. I like my peace and quiet whenever I can grab it. Wole Soyinka

On books and education.

1. And I believe that the best learning process of any kind of craft is just to look at the work of others. Wole Soyinka

2. The greatest threat to freedom is the absence of criticism. Wole Soyinka

3. Books and all forms of writing are terror to those who wish to suppress the truth. Click the link to read more: https://insidify.com/discovery/history-tuesday:-28-times-wole-soyinka%E2%80%99s-quotes-inspired-us.

How much pain are you willing to endure to move forward and make progress?

How much pain are you willing to go through to accomplish your set goal?

In Nigeria today, a lot of people are in pain, tired, frustrated, sad and complaining about how bad things are in the country. Even on a regular basis you meet people who transfer their aggression, pain and frustration on other people, sometimes it could be a bus conductor, when you give him a high denomination of the legal tender e.g N1000, a fish seller when you price her wares too low or a rice seller when you tell her to add more and she tells you how much she buys the rice before cooking it.

Out of all the things in life that people avoid, PAIN is high on the list. Why? Because we want life to be easy and comforting, not hurtful and painful.

Do you remember the Nigerian boxer Efe Ajagba in the concluded Rio 2016 that knocked down his opponent in 23 seconds? When he was asked his secret, he said ‘he just focused all the pain and anger he had for the Nigerian government in one Blow and he knocked his opponent out. Quite tongue-in-cheek but certainly an example of diverting pain to positive energy. continue reading here https://insidify.com/discovery/how-pain-can-activate-positive-energy.#comment
