Facebook, founded 13 years ago by Mark Zuckerberg along with fellow Harvard College students and room mates - It was founded on a single idea of "connecting people" Initially restricted to Harvard students, but later expanded to Stanford University and others. Facebook as a case study here, has moved from a season of "mere connecting people" to a season of "phenomenally connecting people" and generates revenue in billions of dollars. So, anyone who is still "only connecting" on Facebook is operating in the "past concept" behind Facebook. Social media not only connect today, but rakes in billions of dollars. If you think Facebook is only a platform to catch fun - WhatsApp is only for mingling - instagram is only for displaying beauty, such person should try and check Mark Zuckerberg's net worth. He started by connecting, and later moves to collecting (dollars) . If someone is busy making money on a platform like Facebook, you a

Oh  no,  don't raise your eye brow thinking this guy has got some million dollar in cash.  Not yet. I am sure you've heard of a successful business man - a man who thrives in his business. Also, you've heard of a successful coach - a man who achieve success in a  coaching career. I'm absolutely sure some have not heard of a "successful me" - a man who becomes successful by just being himself (Ola'Emmanuel, 2017). I refused to consult the English dictionary while writing this, because a successful me has nothing to do with anyone's point of view about success, "only my view of success." Success for me is all about being happy with myself and all I do with my time. The more I want to get something done,  the less I call it work. I consider it a success medal. I don't like work, neither do I love job, because I don't see my activities as a job - they are opportunities to win some more medals.  That is why I give my best to whatever

Below are 10 transformative ways to increase your worth at work, among friends, in your family and in your community. 1. Subscribe to Excellence: It is a common saying that “Whatever your hands find doing is worth doing well”. You increase your worth by activating excellence in all you do. Give your best to whatever your hands find doing. Let people know that you will always deliver to the best of your ability. 2. Be Time Conscious: Those who are not time conscious not only reduce their worth, but also cause a crack to their integrity. Get to meetings at least 10 minutes ahead of the scheduled time. Never waste people’s time. And whenever anyone waste your time, politely frank at it. 3. Let Your Yes be Yes and Your No be No : Your worth increase when people can trust your words. The world today lacks people who can tell full fledge truth. Once people know you with the truth, you become a treasure. 4. Know your value: Never settle for the less, no matter what.

1. Appreciate those who have contributed meaningfully to your life: Making the rest days of the year as days of expression of gratitudeto your friends, families, colleagues etc. isn't a bad idea. Tell them you love them, send out greeting cards, send text messages, call them on phone or you can visit them. 2. Make someone happy: There are people around you who are not as blessed as you are. Make this festive period an opportunity to demonstrate love and care to people like that. Nothing is too small or too big. 3. Forgive and be foegiven: It isn't pleasurable to carry with you the pains that others have caused you into the new year. It will be good for you if you can forgive those who have offended you in the past months and embrace peace. Also,  you should also ask for forgiveness from those who you have offended, hoping they will forgive you. 4. Take an online course: Yes,  you can still get certified in some online courses this year. There are courses you can complete in

Goal is something distinctly different from a wish. It can be quickly and easily described to another person. You can measure it and you know when you have achieved it or not. With this definition I will bring out 6 important approaches to overcoming impediments to GOAL achievement. 1. Proper & strategic planning The most important part of goal setting is the planning phase. Sometimes, we are determined and committed, but our game plan steers us astray. You must ensure that your plan will help you deliver your desired outcome. One way to making certain your plan is sound is to have friends who are also goal driven. They will be able to give you feed back and to question specific parts of your plan, thereby allowing you to have a 360 degree overview of your map. The further you think into the future, the better decisions you will make in the present to assure that the future become a reality. The most effective way to stop your mind from worrying about the future is to use the pr

With just 26 days left to the United State of America's Presidential election, which will hold on 8 November, 2016. Just these past few days, a lot has happened that will possibly determine who will win the election as the reputation of the two major candidates are at stake due to past mistakes. As we know that exposing each others flaws is a strong weapon as far as this race is concerned. Little do we know that something big is on its way. On 8th October, 2016, a video was obtained by Washington Post that captures Trump talking with Billy Bush, then of "Access Hollywood" on a bus precisely in vulgar terms which denotes sexually harassing women during a 2005 conversation, This sparked up a  reaction on the internet from all over the United State especially, with some requesting and hoping he will withdraw from the presidential election. Following the sharp criticism, Trump quickly apologized stating it was a thing of the past in which everyone has a past and promised t
