In this challenging era, the quality of our relationships will count the most - our relationship with ourselves, colleagues, competitors even. With faith, positive attitude and 'inspired action' there is no limit to what we can achieve. Awesome article, Deolu!

Profound Words. Hitting the right places. The one that struck me the most was the '?' over School Curriculum & Learning activities. It seemed to affirm exactly what dawned on me yesterday night and that is, 'Organisations seem to be grooming the most ignorant people without knowing'. No offence, if you are an employee, I am one of you as well - we go to school, come out with good grades and keep working towards being promoted, so, we can earn more money. We are too busy at work to to go for seminars and workshops, we are too tired at night to read books, we are again at work during weekends and still can't make the weekend seminars. How Sad? I have come to this realisation b'cos as an employee, I have sat down with other employees and also sat down with people I met at entrepreneurial seminars, workshops e.t.c and found that the really intelligent ones, the inspiring ones and the more impactful ones belong to the latter group and so, I have been provoked and dared to be different. Thank you once again Chairman, for these inspiring revelation. You will feel my impact soon. Hmm! Profound Words. Hitting the right places.

Investment in People 4. Influence 5. A rich network 6. Internet Leverage When you investing in Self-development you will at the same time be able to Communicate excellently; this will help you to understand that People are key in your journey of Life and it will create a domain influence for you because you have sown into them something valuable (not through oppression but allowing every man to live a free life as they so chooses). Due to this investment; you will be surrounded with a very Rich Network – in cash and kind, then you can send out your tentacles to reach the World through every means available one of which is the Internet! If you look at the most developed Nations in the World; they have little or no Natural resources; but they have People resources. Over time, the People Resources converted the Natural Resources of other Nations to Products and Services because of their BrainPower (Self-developed Minds). I so pity our Youths these days, carried away by the euphoria of get RICHQUICK syndrome promises of TEXTnWIN of most of our Companies….and on a daily basis they text their way to hoping and expectation in ONETIME RICHES instead of Sound Mind through Self-development……and eventually fulfilled Life! I rest my case!!! I will like to re-arrange the points as follows

1.Self-development
2.Communication Skills
3. Investment in People
4. Influence
5. A rich network
6. Internet Leverage
