What is your Gift?

What is your Gift?
Everyman has a unique gift and a reason for being on earth.

That gift must be discovered.

That gift is in you.

Please if you did not read the blog post “The Secret of Life is IN YOU” posted on 17th October 2016, kindly read it on http://secretofliferhapsody.blogspot.com.ng/

The story emphasizes the fact that the secret of your success (i.e. Your Gifting) lies inside you.

Little wonder why Mark Twain said that “The two most important days in your life are the day you were born and the day you figure out why you were born.”

Stop for a minute and Ponder: Why were you born?

My answer to you is that: You are gift to the World.

SO I ask you again: “What is your gift?”

The only way to identify your gift is for you to embark on an introspective journey to understand yourself.

Ask yourself these questions:
What do I love doing?

What will make me wake up at odd hours?

 When you identify that gift, build a routine around it, until it becomes a habit and
  finally, your gift will now become a source of profit to you and the world.

Let me use some quick examples from Music.

A quick search on Google reveals that Bruno Mars, Usher Raymond, Ed Sheeran, Mariah Carey, Adele and Elvis Presley all discovered their gift of singing at an early age and then they spent many years building a routine at getting better at singing until the gift became a profit and made meaning to the world.

So, start today, DISCOVER YOUR GIFT.

How to Disrupt Yourself

How to Disrupt Yourself I write this piece with apprehension on my mind. The reason why I am trepidating with fear is because I just got information that shocked me to the marrow. Kodak filed for bankruptcy in 2012. However, Steven Sasson (the inventor of the first digital camera in the world) was an employee of Kodak. In 1975, two years after he joined Kodak, he showed these devices to his bosses. His bosses were unimpressed and were convinced that nobody would want to look at pictures from a television set. Kodak’s marketing department also resisted it, because they believed that it will cannibalize film sales. Sasson filed the patent for the electronic still camera in 1977. In 1989 Sasson and Robert Hills made the first DSLR camera. Kodak didn’t embrace the camera, even though they made billions from the digital camera patent until when the patent ran out 30 years later. I am sure you are pondering, what I am pondering. May we ne

SHARED ECONOMY

SHARED ECONOMY A wise man once told me that the world is made up of the haves and have not. I pondered on that statement for many years because the impression I had was that everyone has gifts and abilities in their own measure. So why did that old sage say that some people have and others don’t have. The answer is what this article is about. For Example, When you don’t have money to start a business (have not), you go to a bank that has money to lend you. In this context, the bank has money, but you don’t have money. One thing is certain in Economics, “Human beings are insatiable.” That insatiability in humans has made crave to own the best things in life ranging from cars, gadgets, houses, furniture and even computers. What these means is that we will still be left with people who have these gadgets and those who don’t have. What could possibly be the way out for the have not. Welcome to the world of the Shared Economy. A shared economy is an e

PLANNING IS EVERYTHING

PLANNING IS EVERYTHING I begin with the words of Winston Churchill who said that: “Plans are of little importance, but planning is essential. I couldn’t agree less with this noble man. It is time for us to Plan TODAY. What are we planning for: A Wedding, An Exam, A House Building Project, A Successful Future. Whatever it is, You have start with a plan because: “If you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail” In a nutshell, I think planning is a virtue that is readily available from the creation of the world till now, yet man barely uses planning as a tool. I look around me and I see that every new technology that is been used today is or was a function of someone’s planning.  The houses we live in are a function of someone’s planning. The decisions we make today are a function of many years of planning which is been executed by us today. Two years ago, I made a decision to join Project Management International (PMI) and as I
