Your Words Can Make or Break You - Strive Masiyiwa

Strive Masiyiwa

A Reflection: You and your words.

One day after attending a church service in London, I spent several hours going through bookshops looking for a bible translation called The Living Bible. There were no Amazon or Internet editions in those days, so I just had to go from shop to shop.

The reason I was looking so determinedly for this translation was because of something that had been preached that morning about the meaning of Matthew 12:35 (based on this translation):

Jack Ma, the founder and executive chairman of Alibaba, became the richest man in China after Alibaba IPO'd for a record $25 billion last September.

But Ma was just as happy — perhaps even happier — when he was barely making any money right out of college.

After graduating in 1988, Ma worked as an English teacher at a local university in his hometown of Hangzhou, China. He only made $12 a month, according to the documentary about his life called "Crocodile in the Yangtze."

3 Simple Ways You Can Banish Procrastination Today

We’ve all been there: that time when we had a big deadline coming up, or something important we knew needed to get done. And instead of figuring out what to do, it became easier to just put things aside and surf the net. Sound familiar?

Procrastination is a common way of dealing with stress. Studies have shown that procrastinators tend to see things for the short-term by choosing temporary relief rather than considering the long-term impact of their actions. Is there a way to overcome procrastination?

Everyone, even successful people and top performers, have days when they don’t want to do anything. The difference is that top performers find specific strategies to get themselves moving and accomplish things.

Strive Masiyiwa on the The business of sport.

Strive Masiyiwa

The business of sport, in numbers.

If you’re one of the highest paid football players in the world today, you can be sure that key people in the industry spend a lot of time looking at your “numbers,” and by this I don't mean the number on your jersey. Modern sport at the very top is a game of "numbers."

The top clubs employ "data" gathered on each player to assess performance. If a player is a striker, they analyze data from each game to assess his performance and effectiveness. They can use it to compare him with players from other teams and leagues. Those figures also play a critical role when it comes to buying and selling players.

Facebook Founder -Mark Zuckerberg Reaveals the Secrets of His Success and Why He is Smarter & Richer that You

 Facebook Founder -Mark Zuckerberg : Inspires and Implores Fans to Read as he share the books he have read in 2015 which he tilted a year of books

My personal challenge this year was A Year of Books -- to read a new book every other week.

Reading has given me more perspective on a number of topics -- from science to religion, from poverty to prosperity, from health to energy to social justice, from political philosophy to foreign policy, and from history to futuristic fiction.

This challenge has been intellectually fulfilling, and I come away with a greater sense of hope and optimism that our society can make greater progress in all of these areas.

It's fitting to end the year with The Beginning of Infinity by David Deutsch, about how the way we explain things unlocks greater possibilities.

The Secret of Contentment - Ben Carson

Ben Carson (Retired world renowned neurosurgeon, and Republican Presidential Aspirant) wrote this beautiful piece.Read be blessed and be inspired...

Sometimes you are unsatisfied with your life, while many people in this world are dreaming of living your life.
A child on a farm sees a plane fly overhead and dreams of flying. But, a pilot on the plane sees the farmhouse and dreams of returning home. That's life!! Enjoy yours.

YOUR THOUGHT - YOUR LIFE

Bishop David Abioye

Your thought is the exact measure of your life. Prov.23:7

No one ever gets better than his thought.

Your thought is the seed of your life and destiny.
Think well and rise high.
Thought is the pattern for your destiny, the thoroughfare to your destination.

Think through and break through.
Many are working very hard but few are thinking right and well.
O that people will think right the way they are working hard.
The large populace doesn’t have problem working hard they only have difficulty thinking right.
The easiest thing to do is work hard but the hardest is to think right.

10 Mindsets of a True Winner - Steve Tobak

While mentoring a very sharp young entrepreneur the other day, it occurred to me that most founders and small business owners are in business without any real idea of what it takes to be a winner. That’s why they follow the Richard Bransons and Mark Cubans of the world -- so they can understand how a successful person thinks.

Unfortunately, thinking is just the beginning. Becoming successful over the long haul is just as much about listening to your gut than your ability to reason. It’s more about building relationships than understanding yourself. It’s more about experience and execution than ideas. And it’s more about doing than dreaming.
