MADE FOR GREATNESS!!!

If it is not made of wood, it is made of metal or it is made of plastic. If it is not made for her, it is made for him. If it is not made for them, it is made for us. If it is not made for this, then it is sure made for that. 

Everything that exists has been created for a reason & purpose, which must be accomplished before the full essence of its creation can be comprehended. 

That is the same way I'll like to say that we have all been made for greatness, because we possess that greatness inside of us; only for us to actually build on the foundation that has been set on ground, already. 
It is not a hard thing to do, but a slight adjustment with commitment for greatness would be needed by us, so that we can all achieve greatness together.

Remember, to attain greatness; you must visit great places, be close to great people, read great books, speak with boldness, act wisely, walk with consciousness of being great, sow seeds of greatness in the lives of people, be humble to learn from others and be enthusiastic for greatness.

William Shakespeare said in a quote "Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them" and William Jennings Bryan also said in the same way and I quote "Destiny is not a matter of chance, but of choice.
It is not something to wish for, but it is a thing to be achieved."

Keep on walking your way to greatness, because you're made for it...

Devotion to Great Thinking!

The thicker a forest, the more quiet it gets & the more strong, dangerous & great animals dwell therein. The deeper a sea, the more quiet it gets & the more the possibility of inhabiting great whales, sharks or big fishes. We do not need the whole lot of people around us before we can think or reflect on things that can lead us through to greatness. We only need some quiet times with effective meditation and rigorous concentration. Ester Buchholz said and I quote her "Others inspire us, information feeds us, practice improves our performance, but we need quiet time to figure things out, to emerge with new discoveries, to unearth original answers." Keep yourself away from noise and spend some quality time to figure out the best of yourself; then devote your mind & your time to achieving that best. By Tee-softCL Oyediran!!!

Identity with Purpose.

The sun, moon & stars in the sky are all meant to give light to the world. 
If this is not accomplished, then they will not be seen and their IDENTITY will be missing. 

We all need to be identified for something good and of unique purpose.
Unique identity breeds value and branding, which makes it possible for you to influence others in your own cause of visualization.

Alan Rudolph said "Human identity is the most fragile thing that we have and it's often only found in moments of truth" and Kenneth L. Pike said "Identity in the form of continuity of personality is an extremely important characteristic of the individual".

Identify yourself and be a purpose-full man.

VISUALIZE-View to See where it Lies!!!

VISUALIZE- View to See where it Lies.
I see visualization as a means of perceiving something great before it happens.
Vision takes the first part of achieving greatness, with combination of commitment and enthusiasm.
If you have seen it, then you must work through it.

People will only want to run the vision with you, if they can see your passion towards it & how much effort you're putting to embrace others run the cause of the vision with you.
Thomas Edison said in a quote "Vision without execution is hallucination" and Vaclav Havel also said in a quote that "Vision is not enough; but it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up d steps, we must step up d stairs."

Engage yourself in working through what you've visualize and only after then, will others want to follow you; because of your commitment to it. 
Eddie Rickenbacker also gave his own formula of success and I quote "I can give you a six-word formula for success: THINK THINGS THROUGH-THEN FOLLOW THROUGH." 

Value today, value yourself and value your skills but visualize tomorrow.

Failure brings success, courage is in-between!!!

Stars in the sky struggle to shine when the day is bright but they are very visible when it's dark. 

This goes to say that you don't need the most comfortable circumstance/environment to achieve greatness; you only need to be creative & turn every situation you find yourself to your own advantage (i.e. Think out of the box). 
Oprah Winfrey said: "Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new centre of gravity; don't fight them, just find a different way to stand"; Winston Churchill also said: "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts". 

Remember, success is at the opposite end of failure.

Everything is for a reason, get the best of life...

The experience of yesterday, the commitment to value today & the hope for the future are the steps toward greatness. 

Do not ignore or disregard them but embrace them, as you climb the ladder of success...
I quote John Scully: "The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious." 

Everything that happen to you is for a reason, depending on your attitude towards it.

Duty of GREATNESS is SERVICE!!!

Great men don't just become great because of their wealth, ambitions, qualifications or achievements; but because they've decided to act as SERVANTS, serving the multitude in achieving what the people thought they couldn't achieve by themselves.

The only difference is that, their passion to serve people made them to become the LEADERS of the people they served... 

Winston Churchill said: "What is the use of living, if it isn't to strive for noble causes & make this muddled world a better place for those who will live in it after we've gone"; Albert Pike said "What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; but what we have done for others & the world remains and it is immortal" & Martin Luther King Jr also said: "An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity".

To become great, your duty is to serve others & not yourself alone. By Tee-softCL Oyediran.

Focus more on your strengths than your weaknesses!!!

When there's no light, then there is darkness, when it's not a Yes, then it's a No & if you're not good at something, then you must be bad at it.

Focus more on your strengths, than you do with your weaknesses; because those are the areas where you're weak (i.e. Weak-ness)...

Jeffrey Pfeffer says & I quote: "You are more likely to acquire power by narrowing your focus & applying your energies, like d sun’s rays, to a limited range of activities in a small number of domains."
Have a more productive day.

Creative Innovation is a continuous process!

A seed must be sown to produce more seeds, a step taken leads to more steps ahead, a goal achieved leads to more goals ahead & an idea implemented brings more ideas to surface. 

There's no finish-line to achieving success, only d starting point; keep on getting better on a daily basis. 
Be creatively innovative... By Tee-softCL Oyediran

Be a knowledge-seeker!!!

We must be silent before we can listen, we must listen before we can learn, we must learn before we can prepare, we must prepare before we can serve & we must serve before we can lead... 

It is often said that Leaders are readers; if they don't read widely, they must be reading wisely. 

"Knowledge builds competence, which builds confidence, which gives you unlimited power."

This goes to say that you must be willing to acquire knowledge, in other to be on the fast track to greatness... 

In all your ways, be effective in seeking knowledge. By Tee-softCL Oyediran!!!

Reflection on your inner-thinking!!!

There's no Harvest without sowing and there's no knowledge without learning. 

It is not only what you give in (learn/acquire) that breaks/makes you but what comes out from your inside can either make/break you; so you must give your inside a positive thinking that will produce a positive outcome...

I quote Mick Ukleja & Robert Lorber "Reflection is looking in, so you can look out with a broader, bigger and more accurate perspective".

Be a reflection of what you are thinking on the inside. By Tee-softCL Oyediran

Be productive...

A hungry man dreams that he eats, but when he wakes up, he must still look for food; a thirsty man dreams that he drinks, but when he wakes up, he must still look for water to drink; so is an ambitious man when he dreams of greatness, he must still wake up to act on his dreams... 

Cultivate the habit of DOING, more than mere dreaming!!!

I quote Franklin D. Roosevelt when he said; "One thing is sure, that we have to do something. We have to do the best we know how, at the moment. If it doesn't turn out right, we can modify it as we go along."
 
Have a wonderful day doing something productive.

Learning Is Growing!

The more you search, the more you find, the more you know and the more you will want to know. Do not limit you knowledge-search. "I take learning as a process of acquiring knowledge from everything & anything. Be it in your good times or bad times, just make sure you have learnt something & it could be very useful for you in the future" ~ Tee-softCL Oyediran. Abraham Lincoln also said and I quote "I don't think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday." I'll expect you to keep growing in knowledge, as you continually grow the people around you. By Tee-softCL Oyediran!

Word Of Encouragement



A leaf cannot make a tree, a single tree cannot make a forest, a Doctor is useless without patients, a Salesman is useless without customers; so also is any business useless without clients/customers. You need to value the people around you or those you engage with on a regular basis, because they are your great assets. Albert Einstein said "Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value" and he said again that "The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not what he is able to receive." It is very lonely at the top, so surround yourself with great minds & show that you truly value them. By TeesoftCL Oyediran
