USE YOUR OWN PLATFORM FIRST - FAITES ATTENTION A VOTRE PROPRE PLATEFORME D'ABORD
The rate at which people want to be famous these days, is alarming. The unfortunate thing is that most who hurry to fame crash out and stay out. In this age of everything instant, many have been so burnt they don't want to ever try again. I come across many people, especially youths, who want to be on the world stage without mastering their own personal stage. Most people don't pay attention to the fact that we all have our individual platforms on which to shine before we can proceed to gain recognition on public platforms. You have to be able to conquer your own audience before others will permit you to have a joint performance with them. I am amazed by youths who come to me not to learn but to prove to me that they have got what it takes without any evidence to buttress their claims. Immediately they are made to understand that they need to follow due process to reach their goal, you won't hear from them again. The world does not reward those who dream, it only recognises and rewards excellence won by those who have paid the necessary prize to accomplish it. If you want to effect major change and make a difference in world, you will have to start from an excellent performance on your own stage. Have a lovely day!

DO NOT FOCUS SOLELY ON YOUR AUDIENCE. - NE PAS SE FOCALISER SEULEMENT SUR VOTRE PUBLIC.
Many a purpose have been truncated because the visionary turned their attention from fulfilling their purpose to commercialising their gift. Purpose is using your gifts and your talents to improve lives and society. Financial gain is an offshoot of pursuing your purpose, it is not the goal. Unfortunately, many today are more focused on what they can give to get money and fame rather than what they can do to make a difference, improve lives and leave a legacy. Personally, I am very concerned about the way most youths are primarily seeking ways to monetize their gifts because this limits their creativity to just what they can do to make money and become famous. For a developing continent like Africa, that is not music to the ears at all. Only selfless pursuit can bring about lasting impact. When you seek to improve the community by doing whatever you focus on with excellence, people will naturally gravitate towards exceptional passion. Fleeting success is based on financial pursuit. Lasting success is based on having the kind of impact that can change the narrative wherever you are and on whomever you come in contact with. Many have left their footprints in the sands of time not because of their wealth but because of their creative, innovation and their inventions. Enjoy your weekend!

JUST HOLD ON! - NE QUITTEZ PAS!
You might just be one idea away from the solution. If you don't allow your focus to be broken by the amount of of time, energy and resources you have put in, the idea will come from an unexpected source. The wait and the journey will be worth it. Many give up just before they get to the finish line because they are blinded by exhaustion. You have what it takes to make it to the finish line even if you have to crawl to get there. #nevergiveup #dontquitEnjoy a wonderful weekend!

HOPE IT MATTERS - J'ESPÈRE QUE ÇA VAUT LE COUP
When I watch politicians and corporate market leaders, I wonder what time they have to sleep and live. Many of us that are not even in such so-called exalted positions stay awake at night pondering or working instead of enjoying a good night's rest. Staying awake at night to sort out things is not a bad thing in itself but if it is for selfish reasons of fame and money, it is not worth it. Just saying...With the percentage of those going into depression on the rise, this lifestyle becomes a source of concern. When life becomes all about displaying ourselves on the shelf as trophies, it becomes a frustrating and unpleasant experience because we are under constant pressure to perform. This is the kind of pressure that encourages corruption and all other underhanded methods that "help" us achieve our vision. However, when life is an opportunity to make life better for those around us and to improve the quality of human existence, what keeps us awake at night will bring joy to us during the day. We are not trying to perform neither are we living to impress, we are just making our contributions and enjoying the harvest of our labour. Examine your motives, your quality of life depends on them. Enjoy a great day!
Lorsque
je regarde des politiciens et des leaders du marché des entreprises, je
me demande à quel point ils dorment et vivent. Beaucoup
d'entre nous qui ne sont même pas dans de telles positions dites
exaltées restent éveillés la nuit à réfléchir ou à travailler au lieu de
passer une bonne nuit de repos. Rester
éveillé la nuit pour régler les choses n'est pas une mauvaise chose en
soi, mais si c'est pour des raisons égoïstes de gloire et d'argent, ce
n'est pas la peine. Je parle simplement ... Avec le pourcentage de gens en dépression à la
hausse, ce mode de vie devient une source de préoccupation. Lorsque
la vie devient une question des trophées sur l'étagère, cela devient une expérience
frustrante et désagréable parce que nous sommes constamment sous
pression. C'est
le genre de pression qui encourage la corruption et toutes les autres
méthodes sournoises qui nous "aident" à réaliser notre vision. Cependant,
lorsque la vie est une occasion de rendre la vie meilleure pour notre
entourage et d’améliorer la qualité de la vie humaine, ce qui nous
empêche de dormir la nuit nous apportera de la joie pendant la journée. Nous
n'essayons pas de performer et nous ne vivons pas non plus pour
impressionner, nous faisons juste notre contribution et apprécions la
récolte de notre travail. Examinez vos motivations, votre qualité de vie en dépend. Profitez d'une belle journée!
