SegunOnMonday Dancing Opportunities

I was in this investment office lastweek and before I could discuss my reason for been there, I saw this quote on the wall:

“Opportunity dances with only those it meets on the dance floor”

Need not say much but it is best to put yourself in vantage position awaiting the right chance.

This is a step beyond mere hope and it always put you in good stead when presented with chance.

The opportunities will come! They always do but how ready are you to snap them up?

Be positive and have a great week!

Congrats to my Friends at University of Westminster that just finished their masters program. Thumbs up mates!

#OnMonday: Impossible is Temporal

SegunOnMonday: Impossible is temporary

Impossible will continue to be in existence to the end of time,
It is a word used for a yet to be surmounted challenge not a bar to take on a task or challenge.

Before the first craft landed in space – going there was deemed impossible.

100 years ago, talking to another person 1000 miles through the air was impossible.

“Never think there is anything impossible for the soul. It is the greatest heresy to think so. If there is sin, this is the only sin; to say that you are weak, or others are weak.”
Swami Vivekananda

The word impossible is therefore just a public declaration that you will be the first to conquer the challenge.
If you believe in yourself why follow weak minds who did not even try before joining the chorus of impossibility.

Think about it!

Good morning

‎#SegunOnMonday: Prove the success of 2012

‎#SegunOnMonday: Prove the success of 2012

Being the last day of the year, I am still taking stock of happenings during the year (as I suppose you’re too). I’m still looking at the highs and lows, the unexpecteds & the hopes, the near-misses & surprises.

For what it is worth, I pride in the grace I’ve had this year, I appreciate the unprecedented strides, I review twice more my mistakes than my success,

From the above, I look forward to the onrushing day that will dawn a new year and I will keep saying to myself
“Not bad so far, but no time to be complacent”
For after all what I fail to achieved this eclipsing year really doesn’t make the year any less fortunate and in the end tomorrow will just be another day to pick up from where I left.

The saying: ‘courage is saying to yourself I will continue from here tomorrow’ refreshes me in the wake of the day and I feel fulfilled, successful and relieved for it is undeserved grace that I wake today, and same I hope for tomorrow. I need be thankful to God.

That is ‘Segun Akinpelu thinking out loud.

What is your own reckoning? It is part of been successful to look at this as you catapult into the new calendar of surprises and great expectations.

Happy new year

LIFE IN TEST

#SegunOnMonday:

Life presents itself as a test: Under prepare and failure looms. Over prepare will mean you’re scared and you will fail anyway;

How do you know the quantum of preparation you need? It is not more than your best effort!

The stage where you feel you have worked hard in measure of your strength.

– Do what needs urgent attention now
– Don’t waste your effort on what is irrelevant
– Make sure you enjoy it
– Keep your confidence level by assuring yourself that you’ve put in a great deal of effort.
– Don’t be drawn by other voices other than yourself
– When you are not sure, don’t stop move on anyway!

“Success is as simple as A B C – Ability, Bravery and Courage” – Anonymous

This edition is dedicated to my colleagues writing ACCA exams starting this week. Wishing you all 50 and Above

Good morning.

SOM: Taking a stand

Read before you sit

SegunOnMonday: Taking a Stand
If a baby doesn’t summon courage, it will never become toddler;  if you don’t dare to speak out, nobody will listening.

If you do not attempt to stand, you remain at the base.

There’s this saying that:’ he who stands for nothing falls for anything!’

There’s no harm in making mistakes the harmful thing is not learning from it. If you’re afraid to act so you won’t be wrong, then you will never be right.

And a friend of mine said:
‘If we can’t learn to stand now, we would fall every time, even in marriage, workplace, public office, social life, even our religion and belief‘ – and I said Tolu Adesanya what a thought to share with people this monday.
Stand for something…

Good morning
