Necessary Stress

Today, many believes life is very unfair, it expands you today then
shrinks you tomorrow, to the extent some even compare the human life
to that of a shark’s; when a 6” shark is breed-ed in a 15” aquarium it
will never grow beyond 8” whereas it’s well known for it’s gigantic
figure in the ocean. BUT “The situation you live in does not have to
live in you” says: Brian.
So if we as humans take after the principle of a shark’s living, we
underestimate and abuse our “human POWER”. Power- meaning the dynamic
ability to cause a change, this power is actually latent if not fueled with
determination, graced with creativity and spiced with talent
irrespective of oppositions.
Our Endeavors in life can be liken to that of an elastic material. An
elastic material has it’s proportionality zone ( an area at which it
returns to it’s original size after extension), an elastic limit (a
point after the proportionality limit at which when exceeded it cannot
take back it’s original form). So also is our effort in life, to make
a serious impact in life we need to exceed the proportionality limit,
and to exceed our various limitation points, be it economical, financial
psychological, social ...., it only requires an additional effort ”all successful men and
women only succeed at the last attempt” an added effort is what will
make the difference for ever.
Also remember: “no gain without pain” but the pain is only to
strengthen you to enjoy the gain, therefore stress is not a
punishment- it is just the effect of the additional effort added in
other to break beyond the proportionality limit, as stress is one of
the leading forces required to succeed. It is 100% effective.
S 19%
T 20%
R 18%
E 5%
S 19%
S 19%
STRESS = 100%

Go through it, even if it seems as a stress -it's only for a while.
we can't - deny it every successful person we can ever come across has been through it.

A man that wants to build himself a place in the SUN will not keep taking refuge under the family tree, he'll bask in it with fearlessness.
it takes courage to discover, develop and donate your genius to the world.

learn to challenge tough matters - even stress.

Four friends; four life

Four friends; four life.

Four friends, Rham, josh, Steve and tony were young lads living together in New york, co incidentally they all have the same birth date(Jan 20).

On January 20th 2010 - Rham's birthday (so also his three friends), his parent bought him a brand new Honda Civic. he was so happy and overwhelmed that he decided to drive down to his aunt's house in Virginia for weekend, so he got into the car, start the engine and drove off to his destination.

same date Josh's parent also got him a spic-and-span Toyota Camry, he was so so exited, he got inside the car, start the engine and started driving around town, soon as he was bout turning back home, criiinnnnnngggggg! his phone rang - it was Steve.

Steve: hey pal

Josh: yeah whats up?

Steve: guess what!

Josh: no, you need to guess what.

Steve: why?

Josh: i just got a brand new Camry

Steve; really?

Josh: yeah bro

Steve: whoa same here!, i taught i was gonna surprise you.

Josh: you serious?

Steve: yeah, its a speckles Toyota Avalon.

The conversation ended after some time, so josh decided to keep roaming around town maybe he'll come across something fascinating while after the call Steve got in his Avalon start the engine but only keeps reeving on a spot, he couldn't move because he was afraid of damaging his new Avalon and didn't want to disappoint his parent.

Fortunately, that same day Tony's parent also bought him a Honda City, his parent handed him the key, he went out, look at the car and went back to is room. He taught withing himself "why tell anyone about it when i can't even start it's engine, i only learnt how to drive because i needed a drivers licence not because i need i car, i have seen a lot of car accidents here and there so why will i want such for my self. it's better i just leave it in the garage where nothing will happen to the car nor me." so he never drove the car.

this are the four kind of people we have in life and every one of us plays either of the four parts.

from the story, it is obvious that all four boys ;

have rich parents (GOD)

share the same date of birth ( which makes us all equal)

(where all loved) giving a brand new car which subsumes ;

1- a key (power, key of good life and good succcess)

2- an engine (our passion, Our ideal)

3- an accelerator (persistence)

4- steering (wisdom)

at the same time we need to realise all this will be of no use if there were to be no

route(opportunity, direction, channel, ),

map( guardian, instructors )

destination( dream, goal, aim, ).

Though all the boys where age mates doesn't agree that they think the same way,

Rham, was giving the car key (key to good life and good success),

demonstrated his confidence by getting in the car,

ignited his passions and ideals by starting the car,

took the first step of faith by moving the car,

controlled the car using the steering (wisdom),

drive from New york to Virginia by following the route and also with the help of a map(road signs or instructor),

increase his speed and spent less hour on the road using the accelerator (persistence)

and later got to his aunt's house which is his destination.

Josh on the other hand was given the key(power), also displayed his confidence by stepping in the car, ignited his passion by starting the engine and took the first step of faith by moving the car but have no destination so he took any route, keeps moving, burns his fuel but later ended up nowhere.

Steve has the power in his hand, has the confidence and even ignited his ideal but was so scared to take the first step of faith, so he kept on reeving the engine-gathering momentum-cultivating potentials but never make a move - never progress.

As for Tony, he had the key to power -good life which he failed to recognise, he was deceived and imprisoned by his own mind. we never can tell, tony might have a dream, a purpose, a destination but he was defeated by his worse enemy- His mind.

We all live either of these kind of life consciously or unconsciously. and the only way to set our priorities right is to challenge our selves, ask our selves crucial questions that will chart a new course for our future.

What am i going to do with these key of good life and power given to me? (will i just stare at it or use it to ignite something in me?)

Do i have the confidence and the faith to take that very first step that will catapult me to another level?

Am i like Rham, Josh, Steve or Tony?

Do i know the right route? Do i have the right map? Am i getting the proper instructions? Have i master wisdom enough to compel myself to my destination?

Do i even have a destination-a dream worth taking a risk for?

Do i have a purpose?

Do i just do what comes across my mind or what GOD has preset for me?

What have i gained from this article?

Will i use it?
