LIFE IS NOT A DRESS REHEARSAL -LA VIE N'EST PAS UNE RÉPÉTITION GÉNÉRALE
When someone is behaving in a reckless manner in my community, people say they are behaving as if they left a spare life at home. The way many of us live looks as if life is a dress rehearsal, we are so laid back and nonchalant about the way we spend our time and energy that people wonder if we have a spare life hidden somewhere. No matter how you try to push some people, they cannot live with intention, they just pass time. They cannot see beyond themselves and they cannot see into the future, they only live in the present. We all have one life to live, if you do not understand the import of this, you will keep putting things off until you get to the end of your life full of regrets. Opportunities line our paths in life but only those who understand that opportunities have a lifespan and they must be harnessed before they expire, will make the most of life. Do not leave until tomorrow what can be done today, some opportunities lost can never be regained. When purpose is your top priority, you will see life as it is, life is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Have a great day!

CRITICS AND CHEERLEADERS - LES CRITIQUES ET LES MAJORETTES
After writing my book, I gave it to some people to look at before I made the final copy. The majority liked the content but there where some who drew my attention to areas that they thought I needed to take a second look at. I even had to change the title of the book because of the critics and the suggestions I got. At the end of the day, I got a better copy than the one I first presented. If we really want to succeed we cannot depend on only cheerleaders. No matter how passionate you are about something, you cannot see the picture from all its angles. In order to accomplish our goals, we need to be able to balance the opinion of our critics and our cheerleaders. If you have too many critics, you might be discouraged and too many cheerleaders can flatter you to your destruction. The ability to recognize genuine criticism and genuine praise is critical to your success. Do not put yourself in a position where people only tell you what you want to hear, be genuine enough to allow people express what they feel about what you are doing. There some people who believe that they are not good enough for praise so they seek those who always criticize them, while others are constantly looking for cheerleaders because they believe that they know everything. If you want to accomplish much, you need to make room for both critics and cheerleaders but you have to be genuine enough to identify who is genuine with you. Surrounding yourself with honest people is a great platform for success but you can only do that when you yourself are an honest person who is committed to achieving lasting success. Enjoy your day!

Après avoir écrit mon livre, je l'ai donné à certaines personnes avant de faire la copie finale. La majorité a aimé le contenu, mais certains ont attiré mon attention sur des endroits qu'ils pensaient que je doit revoir. J'ai même dû changer le titre du livre à cause des critiques et des suggestions que j'ai reçues. À la fin de la journée, j'ai obtenu une meilleure copie que celle que j'ai présentée au début. Si nous voulons vraiment réussir, nous ne pouvons pas dépendre uniquement des majorettes. Peu importe à quel point vous êtes passionné par quelque chose, vous ne pouvez pas voir l'image sous tous ses angles. Afin d'atteindre nos objectifs, nous devons être en mesure d'équilibrer l'opinion de nos critiques et nos majorettes. Si vous avez trop de critiques, vous pourriez être découragé et trop de majorettes peuvent vous flatter jusqu'à votre destruction. La capacité de reconnaître les critiques authentiques et les louanges sincères est essentielle à votre succès. Ne vous mettez pas dans une position où les gens ne vous disent que ce que vous voulez entendre, soyez assez authentiques pour permettre aux gens d'exprimer ce qu'ils pensent de ce que vous faites. Il y a des gens qui croient qu'ils ne sont pas dignes de louange, alors ils cherchent ceux qui les critiquent toujours, alors que d'autres sont constamment à la recherche de majorettes parce qu'ils croient qu'ils savent tout. Si vous voulez accomplir beaucoup, vous devez faire de la place pour les critiques aussi que les majorettes, mais vous devez être assez sincère pour identifier qui est sincère avec vous. Entourez-vous de gens honnêtes est une excellente plate-forme pour le succès, mais vous ne pouvez le faire que lorsque vous êtes une personne honnête qui s'engage à atteindre un succès durable. Bonne journée!

STONES AND DIAMONDS - PIERRES ET DIAMANTS
Many of us want to shine as diamonds but want to live as stones. We are attracted by the beauty and worth of fame but we want to live ordinary lives. Are you ready to undergo the long pressure and pain that the stone has to endure to turn it into a diamond? Are you ready for the long period of darkness and utter loneliness that is required for the stone to become a diamond? Many wish for things they are not ready to pay the price for. I listened to an actor who had to spend a considerable amount of time with real combatant forces in a war situation just to be able to get into the character. All we see is how they shine at the award ceremonies, we do not see the long days and nights and hours spent away from loved ones and leisure. Scientists, inventors and others who have made a difference in their society or made a name for themselves have had to come out of the crowd and do what others thought was too difficult or impossible. When you want to achieve something that would change your landscape and leave a lasting impression, you should be ready to endure what others run away from. Stones and diamonds have the same origin but at some point, some stones were moved under rocks and were under pressure for ages. Those stones that were left to "enjoy" air and "freedom" did not become diamonds that people are ready to pay so much money for. Do not worry when it seems that you are separated from people and under pressure while holding on to your dream and working long and hard without any reward, the road less traveled is for those who can endure the pressure that turns ordinary people into champions.
