1. There is a line for success. It is called DEADLINE.

2. The dead and decayed of the undesirable past become fertilizers for the desirable future. If it was useful in the past, it wouldn’t have died. But to be useful in the future, it must be allowed to decay. Let go of the undesirables of your past.

3. Learn from the past, live in the present and look at the future.

4. It does not matter how soon you arrive at the wrong place.

5. You want to know how to be a nobody tomorrow – just keep living without planning for a desirable future.

6. A wasted life is an early death, no matter how old.

7. To have a blank picture is to have a blurred future.

8. It is only a consistently motivated mind that can successfully nurse a vision through to its birth.

9. Only concluded failures trade responsibility. In the light of the fact that everyone faces the music of the result of one’s life, it is important that everyone takes responsibility.

10. When a winner meets a challenge, he faces it. When a loser meets a challenge, he dodges it. When a winner loses, he takes the responsibility and goes for it again until he does what he knows how best to do, win. When a loser loses, he looks for whom to blame. When a winner makes a mistake, he says, ‘I was wrong.’ When a loser makes a mistake he defends himself.

11. The currency of trading responsibility is excuses. Excuses are dangerous, don’t be good at it. Join the winning team. Stop giving excuses and start getting results.

12. Men die when they give up.

13. There is no time you want to move forward that there will not be obstacles and challenges for you to overcome. Even when you are moving on the orders of God, climbing to the mountain top requires some work on your part. The road to Canaan is paved with giants.

14. People who live by the status-quo die as statues.

15. Many professors are obsolete because they have come to accept the norms of their fields. Researchers are those who are looking for new solutions to old problems. In a dynamic world, the answers of yesteryears are no longer relevant. Every process was defined by someone to answer the question of his age. When the variables have changed, there is the need for a new solution. Tested and proven principles are always in need of improvements.

16. Knowledge is progressive and the more we know, the more adjustments we should make. Old questions are getting new answers in a world that is ever changing. Embrace change, it is necessary for improvement. In the face of superior logic, identify with wisdom. If you don’t know it, learn it.

17. ‘Today’ is the platform on which a promising tomorrow can thrive. Whenever the present is wasted the future cannot make sense.

18. Never play with the power in today. Today is the day of investment while tomorrow is the day of harvest. Today is for action so that tomorrow can be for rest. Invest money today to yield interest tomorrow. Invest in solid relationships today to yield strong friendships tomorrow. Invest in reading today to make you an expert tomorrow.

19. There needs to be a great balance between looking ahead into the far future and living wisely today to actualize the desired future. This is the necessary balance between our long-term goals and our immediate priorities.

20. Today is the asset that you have. Yesterday is gone, tomorrow is coming but today is here. Do something with what is here. Never be found procrastinating. Always strive to do much each day.

21. Invest in friendship. There are days when what you know is not as important as who you know. There are other times when what you have does not even matter if you know people.

22. Success is automatic if the variables are in place.

23. The problem is that so many people do not take time out to know the demands of the journey. They set out for the journey of life before asking for the price tag.

24. Many visions die because of the lack of a strategic approach in its implementation. a.) Gather information on the idea. b.) Look for a mentor. c.) Pray for God’s guidance. d.) Plan. e.) ACT.

25. Your mind is your greatest asset – it yields a lot of dividends. The extent to which your life will be productive depends a lot on the level of your investment in your mind.

26. Everything is about the mind. A small mind cannot produce a big life. If the vision is small, the mind is at fault. Small minds mind small things, great minds mind their business.

27. Always seek to improve your mind, it is your greatest asset. Great men have great minds. Among your peers, it is your mind that will distinguish you.
