YOUTH EMPOWERMENT: RE-INVENTING THE WHEEL OF NEW STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS. PART 1

Change is the only thing to care about; We know that market change with a wink of our eyes and that opportunity once lost will never happen. We need to be agile, where's the time? The whole world is changing so fast! We need to rush. With all that in mind, isn't it silly to keep doing the same stuff? We just need to leverage what is available and jump in to launch as many products as possible. people don't realize this, they keep re-inventing the wheel. we believe we should re-use our knowledge, save the time and success will be guarantee, or is it the other way round?

Re-inventing the wheel is a proverb which simply means to duplicate a basic method and has already/ previously been created. It doesn't make any business sense, wasting time doing the same stuff all over again. But there's a catch here. A basic component or method has already been created can be reused. It does save time but at a cost. in computer science, we are taught of an excellent term 'GIGO'. GIGO means Garbage in, Garbage out, if the input are not right, the output can't be. The final product is an outcome of what we used as an input.If reusing the same methods again and again saves time, it also has the risk of doing the same mistakes again and again.

After all said, re-inventing the wheel is never an easy task. that simply because;

Re-inventing is Challenging: you are challenging the world's common sense. You are trying to prove that the way things were done for ages can be changed, and can be changed for the better. This requires a whole lot of courage. it's risky.

Re-inventing is Difficult: Across ages, people have now forgotten how the basic components are made in the first place.

Re-inventing is time Consuming: You feel having products for every market segment is important. To capture the market is important, let's invest time there, rather than waste it by doing stuffs nobody seems to be doing .

Re-inventing is against Human:Most of us work hard not by will but by circumstances. We want to get the work done and just have good time. Re-inventing will kick us to walk the extra mile, that's painful. But as the Cliche goes, there is no gain without any pain. Some of us seem to be just bent on; they are stubborn enough to think that the world can be changed. They are not the ones who will pin point when anything is wrong, but are the one who will accept every argument only if it is justified, only if they understand it. Everything can not be right because it has been there for ages. It has been there for ages because there was no one to take the pain to understand it, challenge and the improve it.

RE-INVENTING SUCCESS
Nothing expires like success, just when you think you are high up there alone, at the peak of your triumph. behold in the twinkle of an eye, there comes another, ready to give it ten times more than you are willing, with a great resolve and doggedness than your instant gratification can allow. it's only a matter of time and you have company up there and eventually if you don't raise the bar, you may fall behind. "In the face of adversity, some develop wings and fly away, others hold on to clutches". After developing a successful and strong brand, how do you break the success circle so you can go on to succeed again and again and again.

HOW THEN DO YOU RE-INVENT SUCCESS?

BECOME A NEW YOU: If you want to do what you have not done before, you have to become who you have not been before. Remember, it starts from inside you, 'first within then outward'.
If our business too must break new grounds, then it's got to go through an inner transformation before it can exceed the present success level. We can re-invent ourselves by inward reflection, new projection and new dreams.
Second to this, we can apply our selves to training and upgrading our minds with resource such as books audio visual materials (tapes, CDs VCDs, DVDs of successful individual in our fields of endevour) attending seminars, direct mentoring from successful leaders.
for the business to become entity, we have got to train and retrain staffs. do a general reshuffling and (though this may be painful but it's nothing personal, it's just business), lay off the non-productive staffs, then inject fresh hands, fresh blood, fresh brains in to the organization.

RE-INVENT YOUR VISION: look further, what you saw some years ago may be obsolete now. so you have to look further from the present stance. In other words, see the business through a new eye that is fearless, daring and adventurous.

BISHOP DAVID OYEDEPO SPEAKS!!!

1.   " Hard work does not wear people out, it is wrong work that wears them out." 2.  "There’s no sleeping competition in life. If you sleep for 8 hours a day, you sleep one-third of           your life, and at age 100, you would have slept for 25 years!"  3.  “I have invested in my life an average    of 18 hours a day on productive                                          engagement. So if you work 8 hours,         then I’m working twice your day plus 2    hours            extra. So when I’m 50, I will be 11    in your own calendar.” 4.     "Hard work does not wear people out, it is wrong work that wears them out." 5.     "When the things of God don’t matter to you, you are under the influence of one of the                rulers of this world .”  6.      “ You cannot advertise a gospel you don’t exhibit. It must be visible  first  in your life before           you can effectively pass it to others.”  Pastor

TIME THE MOST VALUABLE RESOURCE IN THE WORLD.

Time is an invaluable resource and it tops the chart of waste resource in Africa. I guess this is why business in the west are more successful and enduring than what we have in Africa. In the developed countries, time is money; this means a man's value is evaluated based on what he can produce on hourly basis. There was a popular analysis that either sleep or awake, Bill Gate makes 4 million dollars every passing day. In America, an attorney earns $250-$300 dollars an hour. A garbage man earns $8 dollar for the same hour. This shows the value of each's input, they don't go late for appointments (as we do here), all events (government or private) starts at the exact schedule time frame. if you go to work late three times, you will be fired and replaced almost immediately without any apology. In Africa we have accepted waste of time as a norm; we even call it 'Africa time'. This celebration of mediocrity is the reason we cannot compete favorably with developed

A LETTER TO GOD II

Dear God, I want to thank you for all you have done for me, my family and friends and specifically for the first quarter of the year 2016. Lord, you have being faithful and I am grateful. Thank you a million times.  Lord, your word said that:       ...A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven.     John 3:27 .  Now   Lord I ask for grace, the divine enablement to do your will every seconds of my life. It is my utmost desire, the longing of my soul to please you at all time, just like the deer panteth for water so my soul pant after you. But just like Apostle Paul said the other day: For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do...   Rm 7:19-23.  Please, Lord send me help from above, remember now your word in Ezekiel 36:27 ;  And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them . Father, I need the spirit now,  pour your spirit afresh upon me and cause me to wa
