VISIONARY EXPLOITS OF AN EAGLE

Eagle
VISIONARY EXPLOITS OF AN EAGLE

An eagle is a symbol of courage and power; eagles are not created or born to be liabilities. They are created or born to be royalties.

Eagles are not born but eaglets are born. Eagles are known to be strategic planners; they take advantage of the direction of the wind to ease their movement.

It takes time off once in a year for forty days, feeding on water and honey. This is a period of reformation for the eagle to be air worthy.

Eagles live between 10-20 years and within 6months to 1 year, eagles locate their mates whom they live with for life

They have a classical sense of responsibility

The only and easy way for eagles to get on the flight is to be taught how to do it themselves.

It doesn’t take time for eagles to rise but it takes a deep sense of responsibility.

Eagles don’t have a second chance for the first impression.

After a period of six months the mother eagle disappears from the father’s house to build her own nest.

They live and marry in their own house not their father’s house.

They lock their wings making it air tide in order to stay up (that is you got to know your passion)

Eagles study the wind to know the direction to go; it is the direction of the wing that establishes the dignity of an eagle. Only those who study the direction of the wind can stay afloat

Eagles see 1 mile away (ie they look into the future), they prefer secluded environment, that way they build or establish a good foundation for exploits.

Eagles also prepare their nest maximum 2 miles away from a source of water.

KEYNOTES
1. Watch out for the direction of the wind
2. Subscribe to annual renewal of strength which could be in form of capacity building
3. Develop a sense of responsibility which seeks independence so that you don’t die a liability, which seeks to set you above your equals, which seeks to love and care for others and that which seeks to make you a responsible father, leader, teacher, mother, uncle, e.t.c

WHY EXCELLENCE?

WHY EXCELLENCE


When you are excellent those who argue against you will not have a case because your excellence will speak for you. Therefore excellence means not doing things the way others do.


It is easier to do a job right than to explain why you didn't do it. When you commit to excellence those to don't like you will eat their words.


Excellence is an attitude not a skill. When you commit to excellence you become priceless, you'll rather be asked to name your price.


The quality of a person's life and word is always indirect proportion to his/her commitment to excellence.


Productivity is not an accident it is a product of commitment to excellence, once you are committed to excellence, people will rush to buy your professionalism.


Supreme excellence breaks the resistance of backwardness.


If you are used to brokenness you never get to realize it will be better


No man ever reached to excellence without passing through a process.


Excellence is doing a common thing in an uncommon way


Excellence can be obtained if you care enough than others think they should


Excellence is expecting more than others expect practically.


Excellence is the unlimited ability to improve on what you have to offer.


Excellence is not an act but a habit, it is what we repeatedly do.


QUESTIONS TO ASK YOURSELF


1. What is my greatest ambition in life? Until you know what you want, you are not likely to succeed.


2.What fires me up?

SUCCESS TIPS


If you don't know what your passion is, realize that one reason for your existence on earth is to find out. (Oprah Winfrey)


Each and every one of us has a purpose in life and once we realize such, life becomes clarified and simplified. We have a unique purpose for living and we have been given unique talents and abilities to accomplish that purpose.


Ideas rule the world; therefore the owner of ideas is the ruler of the world. Why are we here on earth? We are here to unfold the divine purpose of the universe and in view of that we can only accomplish that through two means.


  1. to decide to be successful
  2. To decide to be unsuccessful

Success speaks louder than words; it commands greater attention than the greatest oration any man can make. It is self inviting and attractive. Those who decide to be unsuccessful in life don't have any stress; they do not need to struggle to secure an unsuccessful future, however for those who decide to be successful lies two things, the idea(s) and reality.


Success has a compelling force around it, drawing everyone to itself, whether consciously or unconsciously. Many want to be successful, just as many have amazing principles but few work to apply those principles. Those who wait for the right thing to happen might wait for a long time If not eternity. It's like waiting for all the traffic lights to turn green before starting a 20 miles journey.


Nothing really works without someone at work, everything that work is made to work by workers.


In the world of success, information is the greatest asset for every outstanding transformation; resounding success is traceable to discovered secrets. Certain information is handed down to men and when it is properly traded with it brings out the desired end. When you dig into successful secrets you become more informed, thereby becoming better than your contemporaries.


In the school of success, fact is one of the principle pillars. It takes facts to be fat. Every great thinker is a high flyer. You can't just start selling apples without having the relevant facts about where, how and when to get apples.


If you will plan your work, the world will mind you. If you will strategize your approach, your result will be outstanding. Telling yourself "it will be done" without sitting down to do your own part of the reasoning and planning may leave the job undone forever. Every hard work is provoked by you and nothing works like hard work.


Every star carries a scar of sacrifice. You don't have to steal to become a star, just identify with the fundamental principles of life and you are there. Like I've earlier on mentioned, many have amazing principles but few work to apply such principles.


Life and history has witnessed the strong roll call of men and women who have assumed success as their trademark. Benjamin Franklin, Mary Kay, Abraham Lincoln, Samuel Adedoyin (Doyin Group Nigeria) Aliko Dangote, (Dangote groups Nigeria) Arthur McGuiness (Guinness plc) e.t.c.

           

In between these people lies less than 15 years of formal education, however within the constraint of their desires, they became renowned voices adding an excellence touch to every aspect of human endeavor they mingled with.

           

Franklin had only about three years of formal education, however he taught himself single handedly till he became a lawyer as well as a remarkable inventor. He is also regarded as one of the founding fathers of the present USA with an unparallel contribution to the drafting of the American constitution.

           

Adedoyin of Doyin Groups is an entrepreneur with holdings in more than 20 viable sectors, his educational career ended before he was 15 however he stands as one of Nigeria's foremost industrialists and employer of labor today.

           

These aforementioned people were at inception equal to everybody around them as at then. However, continuous self-improvement and development has produced men and women of deep know how about most issues.

           

There is a need to dig deep to find answers to issues affecting us so as to stay a step ahead of our challenges. 


Success is not a gift, it is an attainment. It is not willed on people, it is earned. Every holder of success earned it by his/herself. A man's mind is where his lifting is.


Because you decide to be successful you should be ready to face challenges. Between ideas and realities of a successful individual lies a shadow and you have to pursue the shadow to get to the reality aspect. It is often said "challenges make champions" it does not really matter the number of times you keep trying or keep making mistakes. We learn by making mistakes, just as we learn to walk by falling down. If you never fall down, you would never walk, which is the same as attaining a successful living.


You must be loaded and prepare to move into the challenges of the world. If I may quote Theodore Roosevelt he said "far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work doing. Only experts excel and expertise is a product of training and personal development.


The battle of man in the world is that shadow, if you live your life to chance, you don't have a chance. The one you work is the one will work for you. How then can we battle the shadow?

  1. Through divine help: understanding does not just drop on people. It comes through a conscious process of meditation, which is staying mentally focused on an issue, until the nitty-gritty of it is unfolded to you.
  2. You secure a vision: that is having a mental picture of where you are going to, that way when you get there you knows. It one thing get a vision and another thing to get there. You don't sleep with vision you run with vision.
  3. You take pride in command that is running with a passion, refusing to be discouraged and being sure and in control of all situations.
  4. You have to be creative: The race of life answers to creative runners. However if you cannot be creative add something to what was created but remember the owner of ideas is the ruler of the world.
  5. You have to obey the loyalty rule: this ultimately implies you have to be loyal to yourself, disloyalty to yourself is more than a murder and off course to be loyal, you must...
  • o Love what you are doing.
  • o Have the courage to do whatever you are embarking on e.t.c

6. Have the correct perception: that is the ability to see tomorrow and to take action now that will not make your tomorrows challenges hit at you, remember it is what you make happen that happens for you.


If success were to be a product of intelligence then the world would have been a paradise today. As far as your life situation is concerned, there may be things to be attained or acquired. Nothing real can be threaten when this is your state of being how can you not succeed.


There is no one who celebrates being a beggar. Don't eat your tomorrow today, settle down and be a good planner, plan for progress, it doesn't just drop on people. You can't watch success slip you by, go and find out what it takes to succeed. It's a new dawn.
