SUCCESS IS BORING OUTSIDE STEWARDSHIP. - LE SUCCÈS EST ENNUYEUX EN DEHORS DE L'INTENDANCE.
The purpose of pursuing a vision
should not just be to make a living and wealth but it should really be to make
our contributions to humanity because in so doing, most times, there are also
financial benefits that are attached for our own use. When the sole purpose of
developing your potentials is to make money, it will drive you to do untoward
things in order to achieve this very selfish purpose. However, when we
understand the reasons for our gifts, we will develop our skills with service
in mind and not with the sole aim of having a livelihood and all the luxury
trappings of life. Life is about being good stewards with what we have,
stewardship is a great virtue. Only those with this attitude of service can
become good leaders in whatever sphere of life they find themselves. The
knowledge of who you are and the gifts you have must be associated with how you
can make the society a better place. Without the mindset of stewardship, the
society will be in the chaotic state like we find in most societies where
development is slow because people are selfishly guarding whatever they have
and are even looking for how to take from others. This is a situation where it
doesn't matter who gets hurt so long as you are making money, all that matters
is your personal satisfaction. Unfortunately, the truth of the matter is the
more people you serve, the more satisfaction you get. There is nothing as
lonely and boring as making wealth for you, yourself and you.

YOU ARE UNIQUE FOR A REASON. - VOUS ÊTES UNIQUE POUR UNE RAISON.
When we live to compete with
others, it makes life uninteresting. Many are frustrated today because they
want to be like others, they constantly are in competition. What we know but we
like to forget is the fact that we are all configured in a certain way, with
potentials that are for our benefits that would also enable us to make our
contributions to mankind. That is why it is impossible for two individuals to
have the same fingerprints even if they are Siamese twins. Your gifts are given
to complement those of others in such a way that we can help each other achieve
our optimum performance and give our ultimate best to humanity. However, a lot
of people believe that whatever gifts they have is to help them to either
compete with or exploit and oppress others, so whatever opportunity they have
to lead others is an opportunity for power play. Until we get a proper
understanding of the purpose of our gifts, we are going to abuse every
opportunity to serve other with our gifts. Your gifts should help you enjoy
living and make life better for others; that is the true joy of living. We are
stewards of all that we have and own, let us be good stewards of our lives and
enjoy the rewards of seeing others live a better life because of our
contributions.
Lorsque nous vivons pour rivaliser avec les autres, cela rend la vie inintéressante. Beaucoup sont frustrés aujourd'hui parce qu'ils veulent être comme les autres, ils sont constamment en compétition. Ce que nous savons, mais que nous aimons oublier, c'est le fait que nous sommes tous configurés d'une certaine manière, avec des potentiels qui sont pour nos bénéfices qui nous permettraient également d'apporter notre contribution à l'humanité. C'est pourquoi il est impossible pour deux individus d'avoir les mêmes empreintes digitales même s'il s'agit de jumeaux siamois. Vos dons sont donnés pour compléter ceux des autres de telle manière que nous puissions nous entraider

MentorAfrica: DO NOT LEAVE WHAT YOU CAN DO UNDONE. - NE LAISSEZ ...
DO NOT LEAVE WHAT YOU CAN DO UNDONE. - NE LAISSEZ PAS CE QUE VOUS POUVEZ SANS LE FAIRE.
There is a saying that one person’s
loss is the other’s gain. We can’t talk about the role the citizen plays in
nation building without mentioning the fact that citizens need to see the
deficiencies in the part of leadership as their opportunity. They have to be
able to cease the opportunity from the misbehavior on the part of leaders in
order for them to show their own leadership skills wherever the opportunities
present themselves. Every citizen is a leader in one area or another and we
must do our best to make sure that all that is within our jurisdiction runs
smoothly before we criticize whatever is wrong in general leadership. In our
various circles of influence, no matter how small, we must enable people
understand why they should contribute to the smooth running of the system. We
can’t complain when we stand by and watch those who we can influence do
something wrong while we focus on what someone in leadership is not doing.
There are some citizens who even encourage wrong behavior from those in their
circle of influence as a way of getting back at government without realizing
the fact that the citizens usually bear the brunt of wrong decisions and actions
of those in leadership. As citizens we should do all within our power to make
sure that things benefit everybody, including holding our leaders accountable. Do
not leave what you can do undone. Do have a great day!
On dit qu'une perte pour l'un est un gain pour l’autre. Nous ne pouvons pas parler du rôle que joue le citoyen dans l’édification de la nation sans mentionner le fait que les citoyens doivent voir les carences du rôle de leadership comme leur chance. Ils doivent être capables de mettre fin à l'opportunité de la mauvaise conduite de la part des dirigeants afin qu'ils puissent montrer leurs propres compétences en leadership partout où les opportunités se présentent. Chaque citoyen est un leader dans un domaine ou dans un autre et nous devons faire de notre mieux pour nous assurer que tout ce qui
