Diaspora

Living in the Diaspora (Part 1)

“Whatever you do, do it with dignity; you do not need to add anything to yourself, you are good enough as you are, for God’s purpose in your life. Focus on developing yourself in God. Even as you study, and improve your skills do it with the focus, that you Continue Reading →

Pause: PERSISTENCE AND DETERMINATION, ARE A KEY INGREDIENT FOR YOUR SUCCESS

“Nothing in the world, can take the place of PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION: Talent will not; nothing is more common, than unsuccessful people with talent. Genius will not; un rewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. PERSISTENCE and DETERMINATION alone, are almost Continue Reading →

Employee to Player

From Employee to Player (Part 2).

We had been negotiating with our partners all day. The situation was desperate, and tempers were frayed.

Worker_to_Player_v1

From “Employee” to “Player” (Part 1).

Whenever someone describes themselves, as a “worker”, it really grates on my teeth. It is really a word, that does not suit the “current best practice”, I’m also uncomfortable with the word “employee”.

Pause: A wonderful experience, that I once had.

As I have said before, I like to mix what I say on business with something that will help you reflect on character. Remember, “gifts, talents and abilities, will get you to the top, but it is CHARACTER that will keep you there”. Many years ago, I had a business Continue Reading →
