If I had 500 Billion
Dollars I will build a Leadership library in all Government Schools in Africa.
From elementary level to primary to Secondary, Colleges of Education, Polytechnics,
and Universities, in every estates and in every streets in Africa . The
leadership Library will be different from the school’s library. It is not
designed for every student but for selected students with a great interest of
becoming the answer to the cry of many. It is a library that will have books
from great inspiring and innovative authors who through faith and patience
subdued kingdoms. The library will have books that will develop leadership,
creativity, financial intelligence, discipline, character, competence, honesty,
integrity, teamwork in people and make
them become asset to their generation. The library will encourage, enable and
empower the generations in creating environment that works in Africa and build
the needed courage to stand for truth.
ANYTHING
IS POSSIBLE
The seeds of great discoveries are constantly floating around us, but
they only take root in the minds of people well prepared to receive them—Joseph
Henry
“A lost battle is a battle
one thinks one has lost “Field Marshal Ferdinand Foch, French Army
When God gave us? the
vision of the leadership library. I met with an architect and shared the vision
with him. He embraced the idea and gave laudable reasons why it would work. He
even went as far as designing the implementation plan for the idea. The truth
is that people will always discourage you and give reasons why you cannot be
the change but it is left to you to either allow people’s opinion to count or not “Two men looked out from the prison bars.
One saw mud, the other saw stars.” —Anon.
Remember what Napoleon Hills says, “Who said it could not be
done? And tell me what great victories he has to his credit which qualifies him
to judge what can and can’t be accomplished.” Note; there is always plenty of
capital for those who can create practical plans for using it.
THE
POWER OF YOU
Those who have faith are
those who act what can be seen not what they can look at.
Tayo Olumadewa
There are things in the
world that a lot never knew are possible until the Bible tells us it is
possible. If we read the stories of Daniel in the lion’s den, the three Hebrew
men in the furnace, all we can say is God is God. The truth is that he is God
and He is the owner of the Universe. If we continue the study of the fathers of
faith, we will realize that there is nothing impossible to us in the world if
we can only believe. But many still find it difficult to believe because they
thought they are just mere stories.So what they kept inside of them and what
they do are two different things. The truth is that there are great things
about yourself that you have not seen- there is You in you that you have not
known. There is a great you that still needs to be discovered if you are ready
to live a higher life which is a life of significance.
It was recorded that some
years ago, a young clergyman by the name of Gunsaulus announced in the
newspaper of Chicago that he would preach a sermon the following Sunday morning
titled “WHAT I WOULD DO IF I HAD A MILION DOLLARS!
The announcement caught of
the eye of D. ARMOUR, the wealthy packing house king, who decided to hear his
sermon.
In his sermon Dr Gunsaulus
pictured a great school of technology where young men and women could be taught
how to succeed in life by developing the ability to think in practical rather
than in theoretical terms: Where they would be taught to learn by doing “ If I
had a million dollars, “said the young preacher, I would start such school”.
After the sermon was over,
Mr Armour walked down the aisle to the pulpit , introduced himself, and said ,
Young man , I believe you could do all you said you could , and if you will
come down to my office tomorrow morning,
I will give you the million dollars you need. There is always a plenty
of capital for those who can create practical plans for using it. That was the beginning
of the Armour Institute of Technology, one of the very practical schools of the
country. The Question I asked my myself
is what would I do if I had 500 Billion Dollars?
Those
Who dare Win
It has been said that
there is a place for those who decide to be different, those who dare to dream
and those who do the dream. Those who dare get, and those who do not dare, do
not get. Each of us is unique for we were bought with a price. Our creator did
the sacrifice in order for us to win and to radiate His glory. It is high time
we became the major players and stop criticizing. Remember the stage is set for
those who make the wheels spin. They are those that command the respect,
admiration and affection of many. These days individuals have made the love of money
their focus and have neglected pursuing core values which has translated to low
gross mental output and total loss of voices. It is only when they are able to
find their own voices that they can inspire others in finding theirs. This will
in turn ignite their passion in daring to win. So in order not to expire; we
need to be inspired so as to aspire unto greater heights.
You
don’t know how powerful you are until you do it
Thomas Edison was a great
inventor. An individual that single handedly discovered 9999 ways in which a
light bulb will not work. Why didn’t he quit at that time of his experience,
why didn’t he give up? It is because he decided to stay with it; he decided to
believe more in it.
“Most
important things in the world have been accomplished by the people who have
kept trying when there seemed to be hope at all”- Dale Carnegie
What Thomas Edison
discovered so many years ago is what we are all enjoying now. We can all see
the impact of his discovery all over the world. What would have happened if he
had given up? This suggests that no matter the situation or circumstances, stay
with your dream and the heat will be over.
The truth is that One
Hundred years from now, it will not matter what kind of car I drove, what kind
of house i lived in, how much money I had in my bank account nor what my clothes looked like. But the
world may be little better because I was important in the life of a
child.(Anonymous) it is what you
build that many will remember and this is what makes you the change. Why not
stamp your name among the heroes who through faith subdued kingdoms, why not be
the change that will bring smiles to the eyes of many, why not use what you
have to create an environment that works for people by educating a mind with
relevant information- Remember what you do echoes from now till eternity.
Sometimes when opportunities like this happen, many people have mixed feelings;
remember it is normal because it is what the environment has thought. But the
great journey of mountain climbers starts with a team of dedicated, focused and
determined team to achieve the objective.
