Are you asking yourself if you can succeed, Yeah you can succeed with God by your side all days of the year. There are Supernatural Forces who have said you can&#39;t succeed as far as I&#39;m alive and you are the only you who can say no to them. Take prayer by your right hand and your success will follow. God without hard work is failure but God + hand work is success. When success come, some, many people ( good and bad ) will come identifying with you, please be wise, not everyone that comes around you is a friend, some are black legs, you most always try and smell rats very carefully, be satisfied with what you have because A bird in hand is worth two in the bush, don&#39;t let people lure you away from your successful abode. When all this is taking, with God you&#39;ll make a killing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Conclusion, Success is achieving that you have yearn for and remember &#39;&#39;noting succeed like Success&#39;&#39;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://exgci.blogspot.com/feeds/1972572173785892145/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://exgci.blogspot.com/2011/04/a-z-of-achiving-success.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/677338541959649277/posts/default/1972572173785892145'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/677338541959649277/posts/default/1972572173785892145'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://exgci.blogspot.com/2011/04/a-z-of-achiving-success.html' title='The A - Z of Achiving Success'/><author><name>David</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02077933229156101025</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi40mfyRzZMeULegfG8seKbCCZ7VgjPUVzVaVxTJf3NOxg9UAapChn6BqhQuKYMs0IG2SXv-oWL05sollv_n-zZb3EpJ4xbVZQYPIv4sK4_xbnRBgeZzK_9OTJXXDuq-lQ/s220/toyin.jpg'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjm5Zqpafz0YDn37F2FochKRj-POv_6O-tY6_mAUYSeI5PpEhFbJOwD3OSTFc4gPyjL68qOtVAjTasdZT6hxUSB0f93waMpxydETCVS8iZaoMIBPsoDsVqIK3EulS79CLGz5QRAbkLVYjB/s72-c/A-Zimage-300x243.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677338541959649277.post-3729944279604143471</id><published>2011-04-10T14:57:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2011-04-10T14:57:45.476-07:00</updated><title type='text'>&#39;Build Courage to Face the Enemies Within&#39;</title><content type='html'>&lt;b&gt;We have nothing to fear but fear itself.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Facing the Enemies Within&lt;br /&gt;
by Jim Rohn&lt;br /&gt;
We are not born with courage, but neither are we born with fear. Maybe some of your fears are brought on by your own experiences, by what someone has told you, by what you&#39;ve read in the papers.&lt;br /&gt;
Some fears are valid, like walking alone in a bad part of town at two o&#39;clock in the morning. But once you learn to avoid that situation, you won&#39;t need to live in fear of it. Fears, even the most basic ones, can totally destroy our ambitions. Fear can destroy fortunes. Fear can destroy relationships. Fear, if left unchecked, can destroy our lives. Fear is one of the many enemies lurking inside us. Let me tell you about five of the other enemies we face from within.&lt;br /&gt;
FIRST ENEMY - Indifference&lt;br /&gt;
The first enemy that you&#39;ve got to destroy before it destroys you is indifference. What a tragic disease this is. &quot;Ho-hum, let it slide. I&#39;ll just drift along.&quot; Here&#39;s one problem with drifting: you can&#39;t drift your way to the top of the mountain.&lt;br /&gt;
SECOND ENEMY - Indecision&lt;br /&gt;
The second enemy we face is indecision. Indecision is the thief of opportunity and enterprise. It will steal your chances for a better future. Take a sword to this enemy.&lt;br /&gt;
THIRD ENEMY - Doubt&lt;br /&gt;
The third enemy inside is doubt. Sure, there&#39;s room for healthy skepticism. You can&#39;t believe everything. But you also can&#39;t let doubt take over. Many people doubt the past, doubt the future, doubt each other, doubt the government, doubt the possibilities and doubt the opportunities. Worst of all, they doubt themselves. I&#39;m telling you, doubt will destroy your life and your chances of success. It will empty both your bank account and your heart. Doubt is an enemy. Go after it. Get rid of it.&lt;br /&gt;
FOURTH ENEMY - Worry&lt;br /&gt;
The fourth enemy within is worry. We&#39;ve all got to worry some. Just don&#39;t let it conquer you. Instead, let it alarm you. Worry can be useful. If you step off the curb in New York City and a taxi is coming, you&#39;ve got to worry. But you can&#39;t let worry loose like a mad dog that drives you into a small corner. Here&#39;s what you&#39;ve got to do with your worries: drive them into a small corner. Whatever is out to get you, you&#39;ve got to get it. Whatever is pushing on you, you&#39;ve got to push back.&lt;br /&gt;
FIFTH ENEMY - Timidness&lt;br /&gt;
The fifth interior enemy is over-caution. It is the timid approach to life. Timidness is not a virtue (unlike humility--they are different); in fact, it can be an illness. If you let it go, it&#39;ll conquer you. Timid people don&#39;t get promoted. They don&#39;t advance and grow and become powerful in the marketplace. You&#39;ve got to avoid over-caution.&lt;br /&gt;
Do battle with the enemy. Do battle with your fears. Build your courage to fight what&#39;s holding you back, what&#39;s keeping you from your goals and dreams.

Others are trying things too: stop smoking, be more active, spend more time with families. As a whole, we TRY many things. The more important question is, &quot;Are we DOING them?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I wish I could remember which wise sage pointed out &quot;trying&quot; is &quot;saying &#39;no&#39; with grace.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A friend lost into your past surprises you by reappearing while you are squeezing cantaloupes at the grocery store. Pre-ordained ceremonial niceties commence, &quot;How are your kids? What&#39;s your husband doing these days? Are you still working at the same place?&quot; It&#39;s a pleasurable oasis of exchange with someone who used to be close. Yet, after the first few paragraphs, what remains to be said? An awkward silence slithers between you until finally you utter, &quot;Let&#39;s get together and catch up. It&#39;s been too long.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She replies warmly, &quot;I&#39;ll try and call you next week, O.K?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Sounds great,&quot; you say before exchanging air kisses, and continuing on your mission of securing the finest produce. You know she won&#39;t call. You know you won&#39;t either.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She could have said, &quot;No, I&#39;m too busy,&quot; or &quot;No, I&#39;m not interested.&quot; Rather than such bluntness, she replies with the socially approved, milquetoast, &quot;I&#39;ll try.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Underlying her intentions was, &quot;No&quot; - delivered with grace.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In those situations, &quot;I&#39;ll try&quot; is caring; it diffuses rough, confrontational, unkind exchanges. However, in so many other circumstances, we use &quot;try&quot; as a justification for our own unwillingness to change. After all, what if we give up or decide later that the objective takes too much effort? It hurts to boldly state, &quot;I AM losing a few pounds,&quot; only to face questions at a later time when well-meaning friends inquire, &quot;How&#39;s the diet going?&quot; It saves face to be able to reply, &quot;I tried, It didn&#39;t work,&quot; rather than, &quot;I wasn&#39;t willing to do it,&quot; or &quot;I changed my mind.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In reality, what is there to &quot;try?&quot; Am I actually eating less? Am I really more active? Select one: &quot;yes&quot; or &quot;no.&quot; If I choose to not act on my own words, I am not &quot;trying,&quot; I am simply &quot;not doing.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Of late, I find myself stating proudly to anyone within earshot what I am &quot;trying&quot; to do. In actuality, I am setting the stage for the excuses I might use at another time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;I am trying to lose weight,&quot; I say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
My friends nod in agreement, commiserating. &quot;It&#39;s tough, isn&#39;t it?&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Yes. But I&#39;m really trying hard.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&quot;Good for you,&quot; they say, &quot;I admire you.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet, my scale has not moved; my waistline has not shrunk. The glaring unavoidable reality is I am not &quot;trying,&quot; I am stagnating. The moment has arrived; it is time to stop &quot;trying&quot; and begin &quot;doing.&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The use of the word &quot;try&quot; is so addictive; it&#39;s tough to ratchet up the commitment to &quot;I&#39;m doing.&quot; But I&#39;m trying and I will keep trying as my God gives me strength to do so</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://exgci.blogspot.com/feeds/7715552874735232428/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://exgci.blogspot.com/2011/03/just-try-more.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/677338541959649277/posts/default/7715552874735232428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/677338541959649277/posts/default/7715552874735232428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://exgci.blogspot.com/2011/03/just-try-more.html' title='JUST TRY MORE'/><author><name>David</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02077933229156101025</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi40mfyRzZMeULegfG8seKbCCZ7VgjPUVzVaVxTJf3NOxg9UAapChn6BqhQuKYMs0IG2SXv-oWL05sollv_n-zZb3EpJ4xbVZQYPIv4sK4_xbnRBgeZzK_9OTJXXDuq-lQ/s220/toyin.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-677338541959649277.post-7474528391558763892</id><published>2011-03-22T02:30:00.001-07:00</published><updated>2011-03-22T02:30:43.099-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Students&#39; Summit</title><content type='html'>INEC Chairman, Prof. Attahiru Jega, President of the Christian Association of Nigeria, CAN, Pastor Ayo Oritsejafor, have confirmed their intention to participate in the upcoming first Nigerian Tertiary Institutions Summit in Abuja between March 15 and 16, 2011.&lt;br /&gt;

St. Peter was standing at the pearly gates and said to the first man, &quot;Tell me about the day you died.&quot; The man said, &quot;Oh, it was awful. I was sure my wife was having an affair, so I came home early to catch her with him. I searched all over the apartment but couldn&#39;t find him anywhere. So I went out onto the balcony, we live on the 25th floor, and found this man hanging over the edge by his fingertips. I went inside, got a hammer, and started hitting his hands. He fell, but landed in some bushes. So, I got the refrigerator and pushed it over the balcony and it crushed him. The strain of the act gave me a heart attack, of which I died from……….&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
St. Peter couldn&#39;t deny that this was a pretty bad day, and since it was a crime of passion, he let the man in. He then asked the next man in line about the day he died. &quot;Well, sir, it was awful,&quot; said the second man. &quot;I was doing aerobics on the balcony of my 26th floor apartment when I twisted my ankle and slipped over the edge. I managed to grab the balcony of the apartment below, but some maniac came out and started pounding on my fingers with a hammer. Luckily I landed in some bushes. But, then the guy dropped a refrigerator on me!&quot;&lt;br /&gt;
