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.

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...

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.

The most celebrated opportunities are the one prepared for. Opportunity becomes real opportunity when it collides with a preparation. In the absence of preparation, an opportunity becomes a normal insignificant occurrence. Most times in our lives, we met with opportunities day by day, but our un preparedness makes us not to take note of them. It is not enough to have an idea on your head, but pen down a plane for the execution of the idea and make every possible enquiry, so that when the opportunity to flag off the idea approaches, it won't meet you unprepared. It is what you prepare for that you will look out for. It is what you prepared for that you will expect. It is what you prepare for that you will aim at. Your sense of identification of opportunity is proportional to your preparation. Always prepare yourself to meet the best opportunity of your life. Preparation can be in acquiring knowledge or planning. Just make sure that your preparation is mature to meet up with t...

Gone are those days when we treck to our friends houses because we want to see them or have a message for them. Unfortunately at times, after having walked and  gone through such effort to see them, what we meet is their "absence"  due to lack of prior notice. We know how painful and disappointing that can be Never again are those days when breaking news were received on the television, radio or news papers.   sometimes , needless to say, the media outlets fed us with news that were either outdated or fabricated. Today, we visit our friends lesser yet our friendship thrived, with the littlest effort we get updated information on things happening around us. Thanks to the internet! Now you may wonder.. do people still visit media outlets? The answer is yes, but even they increasingly rely on the internet for a wider outreach. What an Irony! Breaking news are first received online, like a bread baked and freshly brought out of the oven. Kudos to the social media....

If you are going on a job interview today, what would you say is the most important skill you would need? Is it writing, to create a knockout resume? Or maybe salesmanship? After all, isn’t that what you do on an interview, sell yourself? Or how about charisma? If you are charismatic, you are sure to get the job you want, right? Or let’s say that instead of going on an interview, you were going to spend your day recruiting, whether for business prospects, or people to function in your team. What skill would you need as a recruiter? Discernment? An eye for talent? Better yet, let’s say your job today was to supply new ideas for your organization. What qualities would you need? Creativity? Intelligence? What is the number one ability you would need? No matter which one of these three tasks you were to take on today, you would need one skill over all others, more than talent, discernment, or charm. It is the one skill that all great leaders recognize as indispensable to their ...
