My Thought Today: Work Life Principles

Hi All,

How was the weekend? Hope great?. Let me use this opportunity to welcome you all to the month of November. I know many of us are challenged by the arrival of this new month. For some people, it's been funny because they are far from all they have planned to achieve this year. My challenge for you is not to loose hope. It's never to late. Like for me, I wrote in my goal to have my accommodation by June this year and it looked so impossible. To the glory of God, I got it so easily in October. I did not have to sweat for it. All things will surely work together for you good. Just believe.

Like I said on friday, I want to share with you some quotes I came across when I made my mind to start working while in the university. They are from Zig Ziglar's book - Breaking through to the next level. Do go along with me.

1. The quality of a person’s life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence, regardless of their chosen field of endeavor - Zig Ziglar

2. I have studied the lives of great men and famous women and I found out that the men and women who got to the top were those who did the jobs they had in hand with everything they had of energy, enthusiasm, and hard work. – Harry S. Truman

3. Our business in life is not to get ahead of others, but to get ahead of ourselves, to break our own records, to outstrip our yesterday by our today. – Stuart B. Johnson

4. Reality tells us that your biggest task, your biggest objective, should be not to get ahead of others but to use your own ability to increase your own performance.

5. A big man is not one who makes no mistakes, but one who is bigger than any mistakes he makes. – Zig Ziglar

6. We are told that talents creates it ow opportunities, but it sometimes seems that intense desires creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents. – Eric Hoffer

7. He who has done his best for his own time has lived for all times. – Johann Von Schiller

8. The only difference between a big shot and a little shot is that a big shot is just a little shot that kept shooting.

9. We all get two gifts we should use as much as possible – imagination and humour. Imagination compensates us for what we are; a sense of humour compensates us for what we are.

10. You are only one – but you are one, and one person can make a difference.

11. Time flies. It’s up to you to be the navigator. – Robert Orben

12. I never knew a man who was good at making excuses who was good at anything else. – Benjamin Franklin

13. Little things make big differences in evry facet of life, so to get the most out of life, give life the little extra that makes the difference between winning and losing.

14. The three great essentials to achieve anything worthwhile are first, hard work, second,
stick-to-itiveness, third, common sense. – Thomas Edison

These quotes has helped me a lot and i have been able to carve out my core values from them.

My challenge to you is that what principles are you living your life based on? In times of uncertainties or pressure, can you stand by these principles and are these principles strong enough to see you through?

Keep shining and be ready to break through to your next level.
