You have Infinite Potentials

“It constantly amazes me that men and women wander the earth marvelling at the highest mountains, the deepest ocean, the whitest sands, the most exotic islands, the most intriguing birds of the air and fish of the sea - and all the time never stop to marvel at themselves and realize their infinite potential as human beings - Matthew Kelly”

Have you ever imagined how this earth was about three thousand (3,000) years ago. The kind of life people were living then, how people walk for days before they got to their destinations, and even the kind of clothes they were wearing at that time. What about what they do at their leisure time? Was there anything like watching of television not to talk more of football matches?

That little Effort can be a stepping Stone

It is normal if you were not getting it right in the early start. Many people started the same way. They passed through hard times and yet they did not give up.

Complain less and work more

Ideas don't come out fully formed

The statement "Ideas don't come out fully formed" was made by Mark Zuckerberg .

At the initial stage, an idea may not come out fully formed. Initially, it may seems as if it does not make any sense at all. It becomes like different parts of a motorcycle which are not yet assembled and fixed together.

The moment those individual parts are technically and properly arranged and fixed, that become when a complete motorcycle is made.

It may seem everything has Waxed Cold

Your mind as a human fights with so many thoughts day and night. And sometimes if your heart is not well guarded, it ends up thinking of bad thoughts or naughty things always.

You may try to get those thoughts off your mind but it seems the more you want to leave, the more you feel like staying to think about those naughty things. That shows that your mind is always

The journey to personal successful achievements varies from person to person. That Michael got a good job immediately after his university education does not mean Jackson must get a good job immediately after his graduation. Also, that Michael got such favor immediately after the study does not imply that Jackson cannot get a job that pays more than that of Michael later.

He is the only one that is right. We live in a world where people notice your mistakes so easily than the things you did right.
