THE TRUE WEALTHY MAN

-


I was watching a vox pop on TV three weeks ago and the interviewer was asking some series interesting questions on the streets and one specifically got my attention the most which was when he asked,
" if you were notified by your bank account manager that all the millions in your account was eliminated without no traceable means to find out what caused such transaction, what will you do? "

A lot of interesting response came as the question was asked to some persons, in fact some said they will commit suicide others said they might never recover from such lose.

Amongst all of them a particular man's statement inspired me and this was his comments, " If such happen to me, of course I will feel bad but I have no choice but to move on with my life ", the interviewer was so amazed with such response of which he was forced to ask why and the man replied saying, " if I truly made the first millions of naira in my account then that means I can make the money again and even more. It is never about the money in my bank account, it is about me because I am the wealth".

His comments really provoked my thoughts and it made me realized that we sometimes chase money forgetting what the true wealth is.

I have personally discovered that wealth is first the mindset and then personality before financial results which means money is just the end product of a wealthy man but it is never the key to his wealth.

So the questions is, what are you doing right now in developing and investing on the wealth in you instead of chasing financial values.

Think about this.

Third session of the PowerPoint Presentation Class at Paradigm Initiative with the Ajegunle Life students. These were the key lessons learnt. ______________________ - You don't get a second chance to create a first impression, so make the first appearance remarkable. - Your smile is one of the most powerful therapy to deal with nervousness. It commands influence and provokes confidence. - As much as you do the talking, do the listening. As much as you do the gestures, observe body language as feedback. Remember, communicate is not complete without positive feedbacks. - Learn to master the ideology of sequence with your points. Make sure "Point A" has an interest link to "Point B". You can't afford to be mentally disorganized. - Become a likable personality on stage. The truth is, people listen to who they like. Just add some panache and style to your delivery. "Become someone that talks and everyone will want to listen". ©Tosin Ikuyinminu ...

I never joke with the opportunity to share my thoughts and experience with young people of which I am too. It's always a powerful experience training young people on the subject matter "Presentation". As a matter of fact, so far I think I have learnt a lot from the students as well even while teaching. These are my key lessons from the class, maybe they might help you too; - You will always be confident to speak about what know, so do the knowledge work first. - Everyone get nervous while being called upon to address an audience, the difference is how you deal with it and move on. - You become an expert when your confidence shift from being just an act to becoming a person inside of you. - Presentation is everything we do at school, work, home etc. We are always exhibiting something to someone consciously or unconsciously. - Life is always auditioning you either you are aware of it or not, so always give out your best shot, you never can tell who is watching. ©To...

Let me share a story with you about the woman popularly known as "Iya Ibadan" who sells kerosene opposite my compound. Ever since we relocated to the street, I have known her to be the only person that sells kerosene closest to us even though there were several other persons who were also selling kerosene in the street as well. We had always assume her to be one of the regular uneducated business woman who owns a shop and sell her market to support the family as a wife and as a mother. You would not imagine what I was able to learn from the so called "Regular Uneducated Business Woman". This was exactly what happened. ______________________ Early this year, when the recession became a hot cake and affected the price of virtually everything in the market. The cost of kerosene also inflated and it became obvious that everyone was already looking for a better alternative to cook. Eventually, I started noticing people began to use cooking gas cylinder and refill....
