THE TIPPING POINT (I)

The tipping point is the point at which some new technology becomes mainstream.

Becoming mainstream literally means of wide usage or being used by a large number of people, population or market. We can also say being acceptable by a large number of people.

There are quite a number of things that are widely acceptable or used by a large percentage of the population of the universe in this century. If we start citing examples from the social media, we will start talking about Facebook. Imagine the number of people using Facebook. Then we move down to Instagram, WhatsApp, Telegram to mention but a few. If we look at other parts of the world too we will find other things that are widely embraced and used by people.

Looking at this part of our world, Nigeria, there are some products that are easily found in every Nigerian home. Taking Dangote salt as an example you can't do without finding this in every Nigerian home.

Let us also look at the trending dance, 'shakushaku'. This is a kind of dance that is widely embraced by the Nigerian youth which you can dance to almost any kind of music. This dance was innovated by someone and now it is accepted by a large percentage of the world.

These people who are founders, inventors or producers of these things do not just turn them to mainstream overnight. They have also been working for a long in which no one saw them or even take cognizance of them. But they kept on working, working and working hard to get to that stage of making what they do a mainstream by not giving up.

The truth is in every man's life, there is always a point of giving up, a point of letting go and a point of losing hope.

Surely, you might have been coming from a long way through which you have been pushing and enduring and no one even knew you were there. And now it seems like things are not working out and you want to give up.

Of course you will get tired sometimes. It's okay to get tired and rest a bit but giving up is not the best option.

The thing is there's a particular point you have to get to, there is a line in life that you have to cross that will make what you do a mainstream.


Do you really want to make what you do a mainstream?

Then as you go this week, ensure you never give up but persist and continue pushing forward till you get to that particular line.

What is this particular line you have to get to?

I love you and I value you.

You are greatly valued.

LOVE

Love is a beautiful thing especially with the right person and people.

Love is patient and kind; it is not jealous or proud; love is not selfish; love does not keep a record of wrongs; love is not happy with evil, but is happy with the truth. Love bears all things; love believes all things, love hopes all things, love endures all things.

Although these three remain: faith, hope, and love; and the greatest of these is love.

What then is the value of your love if you only have to share it with your partner/spouse or family?

There are people out there so dying for someone to show them just an inkling of love. People around you, very close to you. Who knows? It might be that your neighbor nextdoor that you don't want to associate with at all. Do you even know if he was put next to you just to care for and show love to?

Just a day should not be the only time to show that you care or to tell someone that you love them. It should be something we do everyday. It should be a lifestyle.

Show love to someone, let them know you care, let them know they can be loved too, not just today but always for in the happiness of others can we truly find true happiness.

HAPPY VALENTINE

Do enjoy your day.

I love ❤ you and I value you.

STARTING YOUR DAY RIGHT

One of the greatest key to achieving success in all areas of one's life is having the right attitude towards everything you do.

Working hard itself is not enough. You also need to exhibit the right attitude.

Do you want each week to be better than the former? All you have to do is start each day with a positive mindset. With a positive mindset of making today better than yesterday.

Alice Hocker quoted, " when you look in the mirror, remember that who you see looking back at you is a piece of your highest self, the Divine."

Each morning before setting out for work, look at yourself in the mirror and confess positive things to your life. Make use of your tongue.

The tongue as small as it is in the body, possess a power so great it can set the whole body on fire. Why don't you set your whole body on fire for something good this week? For whatever you confess with your mouth will definitely manifest in your life, according to the law of attraction.

Even if the task or assignment that has been given to you at your place of work, at school, at home, or in your business seems like a mission impossible. You can make it possible by having a positive mindset about it, and confessing positively that you can and will succeed in it.

And do you know the amazing thing about this? You will just see yourself doing what seems impossible earlier and success will be close even when it seems you might fail. But at the end of it all you will succeed.

Remember, always start each day with the right attitude and positive confession.

Do have a success-filled week.

I love ❤ you and I value you.

We are human and we are not perfect. We will definitely make mistakes in one way or the other. And these mistakes sometimes lead to us failing in one way or another.

Surely, yesterday's mistake can never be corrected but you can always learn from it, because yesterday is gone, it can never be retrieved. So learning from the mistake of yesterday means you can try again.

Former President Thomas J. Watson, the man who led IBM to worldwide prominence once said, "Would you like me to give you a formula for success? It's quite simple, really. Double your rate of failure. You are thinking of failure as the enemy of success. But it isn't at all. You can be discouraged by failure - or you can learn from it. So, go ahead and make mistakes. Make all you can. Because, remember, that's where you will find success".

If you do not fall, you cannot rise, if you do not fail, you cannot pass. You do not need to be afraid of failure because that is where you will find success.

Do you know that the secret to your future lies in your daily activities? It then means that whatever you want to become tomorrow is in your today.

Remember, when tomorrow comes, this day will be gone forever, leaving something in its place that has been traded for it which can either be gain, loss, good, evil, success or failure.

You therefore need to make a good and wise use of each day of your life to unlock that secret and become that which you dream of.

It is not enough to dream, you also need to engage in productive activities to bring your dreams to reality. That, no one can do for you, you have to do it yourself.

Don't just stay idle and do nothing, do something and not just anything but something productive.

People aren't beautiful for the way they Look, Walk or talk. They are Beautiful for the way they Love, Care and Share!  💐 Have Beautiful day!

You know, there are some people in this world who think once they fall, that is the end. But that is never the end. It is just the beginning. You can never get to your destination when you fail once and you think you just have to stop there.

Failure itself indicates you are getting somewhere, it indicates you are moving, it indicates you are leaving your present position and moving to another level. Doing something now and not getting it right is a way of moving forward itself.

The thing about most of us is that when we fail in one area of our lives, we are always afraid of trying it again. Why? For most of us, it is because of the people around us, what they will think or say about us if we try again and yet fail again. For some, it is because we are afraid of failure itself.

Why will you be afraid of failure? Do you the number of times Thomas Edison failed  in his attempt to refine the light bulb? He failed 9,999 times. Yet he never gave up, and surprisingly he got it right the 10,000 time. You see how he made history?

Therefore, do not let failing scare you. You just try something, fail and try it again and again and again until  you get it right and succeed. That is fail forward. You fail in order to move forward. Not failing and giving up and staying rooted to the same old position or level with no positive change.

There is a saying,"doing something using the same method or technique gives the same result". Your failing in something might be trying to tell you something. It might be trying to tell you something you do not know before. It might be trying to tell you to change the methods you have been using for you to get it right.

That is failing to succeed. Fail forward. Our weaknesses are never revealed in good times, but only in times of trials. You can never know how strong you are or  how creative you are or how wide you can think if you do not fail.

Remember, you are never a failure until you stop trying. Therefore, do not stop trying until you get it right and your failure lead to success.
