Happy New Year





It is that time and period when we rejoice that God has done it again for us.

In allowing us to not only see the last day of the outgone year, but also in bringing us into the new year, He has done what no man can ever do.

And because it is of His own mercy that we are in, then He would definitely guard and guide us with His Mighty Right Hand that nothing shall by any means harm us.

But there is one thing, we must never take God for granted for he who does that would surely remain grounded

And in 2016, if you really want to fly, then keep God where He ought to live, right inside your heart occupying your very soul and mind.

If you allow Him to take you by hand, then my friend, you shall not only achieve all you set out to achieve in this very year of 2016 but you would also arrive your destination safely.
Happy New Year my friends

May this year bring you closer to all that you want which have given you a source for concern for so long.

And that's my prayer for myself too

Let God Reign

10 Days To End Of Year




School of Life piece of advise:
" Keep a note pad and pencil on your bed-side table. Million-dollar ideas sometimes strike at 3 a.m."

Be an early riser, it helps to recollect the dreams of the last night

Life Secret and Tip:
" Get good at something.
Call it a hobby or a passion, whatever it is, just get damn good at it. Your occupation does not count! Make it something that you can practice often enough to excel at. Examples: Magic tricks, surfing, ping-pong, creating short films, and unicycling. It can be anything but I would recommend choosing something that: 1) You are passionate about 2) You can bust out at any moment to display your skills for any discerning crowd. My mind goes immediately to aerobatics and break dancing, but that’s just me."



Motivational Quote on Success

" Ambition beats genius 99% of the time – Jay Leno"

Key Point of Life

Talk slowly but think quickly.

Psychological Life Hack

Confidence is more important than knowledge.

Two young candidates walked into the interview office to apply for the same job.

The first one had a Phd, two Masters and a Bachelor’s degree.

The second one had just a Bachelor.

The first one was kind of shy, didn’t talk much, his body language was turned inward.

The second one had an upright posture, was looking the interviewers directly in the eyes, showed a lot of interest in the job and his answers where emitting confidence.


We don’t have to tell you who got the job.

Mark Zuckerberg wants everyone to read this sci-fi novel, which is also a favorite of Elon Musk's




Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg's 2015 New Year's resolution was to read an important book every two weeks and discuss it with the Facebook community.

Zuckerberg's book club, A Year of Books, has focused on big ideas that influence society and business. For his 13th pick, he's gone with "The Player of Games" by the late Iain M. Banks.

It's a sci-fi novel that's part of Banks' "Culture" series, which takes place in a futuristic utopian society where humanoid aliens and incredibly advanced artificial intelligence have spread themselves across the galaxy.

"The Player of Games" was first published in 1988 and is the second in the series. It explores what a civilization would look like if hyper-advanced technology were created to serve human needs and surpass human capabilities.

The "Culture" series is a favorite in the sci-fi crowd, and its influence can be seen in mainstream culture, most notably the best-selling "Halo" video-game franchise.

SpaceX and Tesla CEO Elon Musk, a lifelong sci-fi junkie, has said he's a big fan of Banks' books. In January, he named two of SpaceX's drone ships, "Just Read The Instructions" and "Of Course I Still Love You," after two of the ships that appear in "The Player of Games."

Zuckerberg explains his latest book-club pick on his personal Facebook page: "This is a change of pace from all the recent social science books. Instead, it's a science fiction book about an advanced civilization with AI and a vibrant culture."

Many of his book selections have dealt with both the tremendous opportunities and the potential dangers that advanced technology can bring.

Zuckerberg also notes in his post that the stack of books he still wants to get through is starting to become overwhelming, but some quality time with a paperback is a good break from spending all of his working hours with technology.
