Sometimes it is difficult to different between leaders and misleaders. However, with the measurement of true service to mankind, the evidence is very clear!
~ Israelmore Ayivor
The fact that a seed is viable is not a proof that it’s going to bear good fruits. Some good seeds are destroyed by bad soils. So is leadership; everyone was born to lead, but not all become leaders!
The sweeper of the street is a leader in his own respect provided he does his job well with all love, diligence and attention than anyone would do when given the same broom sticks.
Many people know themselves but hardly believe what they know. To be a leader, knowing yourself is not enough; you must believe what you know about yourself!
Everyone can be a leader irrespective of their age, race, creed, nationality or political affiliation. Once you can figure out your talents and optimize them very well, at the right place and at the right time, you are a leader.
What people see you do may not be remembered, what they hear you say may be forgotten, but how they feel your intervention in their times of need will forever be remembered.
March out of the common line; make bold steps ahead and dance to the tune of a sweeter, better and nicer tone of your own music. March out of the tiny box!
The worst to ever happen to a person who aims at the sky is to fall on the tallest mountain, the best that can happen to a person who aims at the ceiling of his room is to fall on the carpet of his floor!
The little energy you obtained from your breakfast can ignite your willingness to kick start. Don’t overlook the little energy you have now by fixing eyes on a supposed magical influence farther away!
You don’t need to travel far to make people happy. When you make people nearer to you happy, people farther away from you will surely come. Keep doing it!
Low self-esteem is no better home to take a refuge. It does not keep you comforted from any danger, it keeps you confined away from your real belongings!
You may need an additional money to make things happen and have it, but you can have an additional time anywhere. Value your time; as you wait, it is passing!
People who achieve big things are those who decide to try ideas that were previously rated and graded as impossibilities. “Impossibility” never exists!
Don’t run away from the gains because it comes with pains. If you ever love to go for the sweet honey, be ready to be stung by a busy bee! Go for it anyway!
Impatience has ruined many crowns; it had lured people to give up when they have just few minute to win, just few millimeters to touch the winning carpet!
You can’t win without being patient. You know why? Success comes when you value time by using it profitably. It comes over time, delay is not denial!
Failure is your inability to recognize that you have made the same mistakes again. Making a mistake is normal, it turns abnormal when it’s not recognized!
If there is anything in life to worry about at all, it’s your wasted yesterday. Unfortunately, before you worry about it, you have to waste today doing so. Never worry!
You are likely to fall when you stop paddling your bicycle. Such is life. As long as you don’t give up, you will never end up failing!
Don’t lose yourself in the process of caring for others. Don’t overdo it as if you don’t need any care to give to yourself. It’s true, you are special too!
The strongest people are people who faced the toughest situations in life. People who are defeated by the toughest battles are stronger than those who have won by using the escape route!
Don’t try to prove to everybody that the reason why you can’t is that nobody could. It’s no excuse. You can break the tradition by being the first person to make it happen!
The brain says “it is impossible” and the legs respond “let’s sit down”. The brain says “it is possible” and the legs respond “let’s go to work”. Don’t blame the legs, blame the head.
The hills and mountains on your ways are going to be removed. But remember that’s what should happen when God gives you the shovel. Use your gifts, it’s the escape route!
You can only know how confident you are when you kick-start. True confidence is not found in excessive rehearsals; it comes from experience. Plan, prepare, but will willing to make it happen!
The devil may not be interested in preventing you from knowing the undone job. What he may do is to make you think it’s somebody’s job and not yours.
Everything known and referred to as “impossible” is often what has not been attempted before. It will always have a change of name once it’s attempted!
The grace and mercy by which you are not arrested for not paying your daily oxygen bills, is the grace that is sufficient to take you through successfully. It's the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ. Enjoy it!
Before you can brighten the corner where you are, you must first develop dislike for the initial dull corner you once endured. You can’t change what you are comfortable with.
You may face opposition not only because you are doing something wrong, but because you are doing something right. Not all oppositions are meant for a better life!
A higher speed on the wrong path is very is fatal! Don’t be desperate about going ahead with the highest speed. First of all, be sure you are on the right track.
Opportunity never arrives, it only walks by. Chance never comes, it only knocks at the door. Never think the success will jump into your palms; you must work for it!
Impatience is not the fastest way of getting to where your treasures are. It is the quickest way of by-passing them without even knowing. Keep calm, be patient!
People can poison people, people can also promote people. People can push people up, people can also pull people down. Don’t just follow people cheerfully, follow people carefully!
A hopeful life is a successful life. People who bury their hopes and crave for someone’s success never know that their diamond is hidden as they envy other’s silver!
Let your first enemy be mediocrity; it has no role to play, no word to say and no action to display in your life. Never love to swim in shallow waters; they breed nothing than fearful reptiles of failure!
Refuse to be small no matter how many times people insist on squeezing you. The same people who carelessly call you “Hey” are the same people who will cheerfully call you “Hi” when you continue to drive your life positively!
Pick the axe, chop off the anger, burn the pieces and bury the ashes. Anger kills before it is noticed. It travels faster to the destination to destroy long before conscience arrives to regret it!
You can’t believe in your dreams if you don’t believe in the giver of the dreams. In all things, put God first. He is willing to put you ahead for excellence!
One word is enough to destroy an entire city provided that word is backed by anger. Drop down the bullets of anger, it destroys at the speed of light!
