1) Life’s a
marathon, not a sprint.
A sprint tests your speed, a marathon tests your mental
strength, perseverance and endurance.
2) Relationship:
Developing a great network is worth more than money.
Money is good but you should never make money at the expense
of having a great relationship. Money can never buy a great relationship
whether it is with your girl/boyfriend, mum/dad, your friends, your boss or
anybody.
You may find it amusing that I get most of my jobs
through
great networks I nurtured over the years. Connect with people, connect with
life!
Make money also make Great relationships
3)A bad relationship
is worse than not having a good one.
While relationships are more important than money, you
should also be weary of some bad relationships, they are worse than not having
a good relationship. They can mess up your view of what relationships should be
like.
4) La familia es todo
(Family is all).
No matter how a family member pisses you off they still
remain family. When you loose all that you have and you have nothing else,
family would stick no matter what. Come rain come shine!
5) Be a wo(man) of
your word!
When you give people your word make sure you keep it. It is
a very honorable thing to do and you are going to earn their respect by doing
so. To be a Man/Woman is about taking responsibilities, Remember that word
“Responsibilities”
6) Get someone that
gives a shit about your dreams!
When you find that one person that cares about your dream and
believes and supports you. There is no limit.
7) Get a mentor.
Seek for someone that you admire so much, talk to them, ask
for advice, earn their trust and remain Loyal because mentor’s will always
strengthen you to fly past where they stopped. Sounds amazing? You need to
remain Loyal.
8) Build something
that you love.
Is there something that you love but can’t find it or you
think it can be better build it. Give people to use, solve a problem.
9) Explore.
Solve a problem, get a kiss, fall in Love, fall out of love,
Make someone smile, have sex (preferably get married first) and always protect
yourself.
10)Help People.
I am where I am today because of people that have helped me
when they had the opportunity. Believe it, a lot of people have allowed me to
use their ladder in countless times. Sow a seed in someone’s life. Invest in
people today!
11) Never despise
days of little beginning.
12) Fail.
I actually failed in my three startups and I learn a lot
from running this companies, a lot that I would ever learn in business school.
“If you must fail, fail forward”
13)Be known for
something.
14) Staying in love
is a conscious effort.
You have to accept that there would be differences, they
would add weight, they would look unattractive at some point. You just need
someone that would stick with you through the winter days.
15) Get out of your
parent’s house even if you are the one paying the bills.
Stock up privacy for yourself and plan for your future.
16)Respect is not
Fear.
Respect people but you should never be afraid of them. Never
fear anyone, not even your fears.
17)Believe in
something.
I believe in God. It be awesome if you put your faith in him
too. God has brought me this far and He is still taking me higher.
18)Never Loose Hope.
I was once a paper boy, earning ~NGN 200 per day
I was once a waiter, earning ~ NGN500 per day.
I was once a mechanic, earning ~NGN 500–1000 per day.
I knew what I wanted and I never gave up.
Tough times never last but tough people do!
19)Don’t do drugs!
Drugs messes you up and everything else. You may think it’s
cool now but later you would regret it. Taking drugs is like boarding a sinking
ship. Don’t fall a victim!
20)Stay Humble
Remember, your finish line could be someone else starting
point. Quit basking in self-glory.
21)Learn when to say
NO.
When you don’t like something just say it! Don’t suffer in
silence. If you are still suffering in silence. Quit it, and speak up
22)Life is not Fair.
We all have heard this a lot that “Life Ain’t Fair”. Yes, it
is not fair but be kind to people because you don’t know the battle they are
fighting privately.
23)Time
Time is a luxury you can’t afford. Never let anyone waste
your time as you can never get back the time wasted. Do what you have to do
when you have the time to do so.
One day your life will flash before your eyes, make sure it
is worth watching
24) Set Goals and
never lose focus on them!
Set goals and never lose FOCUS!
25)Saving
The earlier you start saving for rainy days the better for
you.
You could open up different bank accounts just for saving
purpose, make sure you are not using ATM cards or Online Transfers with the
accounts. Once you receive any money try to save at least 35 percent first
before spending. You can always withdraw in case of emergency.
