THE SOLUTON TO CORRUPTION

I always laugh when I read about the endless inquiries and punishment of corruption in Nigeria. This is because it reminds of one of the American movies I watched sometimes ago titled “the eleventh commandment”. According to that movie, that commandment is ‘thou shall not get caught’. It simply means that for as long as you can avoid being caught, you are free to go ahead with corruption. Although punishment is an important part of combating corruption, focusing on punishment alone only helps to create more intelligent and law evasive criminals. Be that as it may, corruption is a canker worm that has eaten into the fabric of our society and we must do everything within our power to combat it. WHAT THEN DO WE DO.?

Before proceeding on what to do, I want to consider one very important factor. Why are people corrupt? At what point did corruption become institutionalized in Nigeria? People revert to corruption the moment they are under the impression that integrity is no longer fashionable. How then do they form such impressions?. When it becomes almost impossible for people of integrity to live a decent life while people who are obviously living beyond their means take the front seat of recognition in the society. When people suffer great injustice due their low level of affluence and nothing is done to give them succor. When it requires a lot of money to do anything including serve your father land. Gradually, integrity takes a back seat in their hearts and everybody focuses on wealth no matter the source.

Having said that much, we cannot truly fight corruption until we begin to recreate the impression that it pays to be a man of integrity. To achieve this, the society has an enormous role to play. It should accord everyman his due respect as a human being not as either a rich or poor man. Our leaders should try as much as possible to create an environment that does not require so much money to live a peaceful life. I believe it is only then that we should heavy sanctions on offenders. The society should also go back to verifying the legitimacy of people’s wealth before according them so much respect and honour. To cap it all, the society should honour people who demonstrate high integrity in their lives.

In conclusion, I want to say that no matter what we say concerning corruption, the minds of people will only respond to actions that give the impression that you can be all you want to be without being a corrupt person.

SUCCESS REGISTER

As a student of the secondary school, one thing that always had my attention is REGISTER. This was basically due to two things; firstly, my then English teacher gave us a lot of tests on English register and secondly, I am the type of person who always sought to know as much about other disciplines as possible. By the way register deals with the study of words and their meanings as used in a certain profession. This implies that there is a Legal register, Medical register to mention a few.

I found out later in life that there is a SUCCESS REGISTER. This means that certain words used by people who have either achieved success or are still in the process of achieving success. This lead to a careful examination of such people with a view to determine the words they use or do not use. This write up is with a view of sharing my findings with the hope that it would assist you on your journey towards success (if you are already on that journey). This part will discuss the words successful people don’t use and subsequent part will highlight the words they use.

Before going on to state those words, I want to say that they represent the presence of some thoughts and beliefs that reduce the speed at which most people move towards success. Worse still, most people are unaware of the havoc these words are doing to their success in life. This makes this piece highly expedient.

1) MISTAKE

This is a word that indicates the absence of some vital success qualities in your life. Mistakes come as a result of lack of adequate preparation, poor information, lack of concentration to mention a few. These traits are sure to hinder the rate at which you move towards success. In essence, these traits lead to failure. This means that what we normally call mistake is as a result of some form of lapse on our side even if we seem to have tried our best.

Knowing fully well that we are not perfect as human beings, what I am advocating is avoid the number of times you say ’I made a mistake’ by making sure you do everything possible to avoid mistakes and you would be on your way to success faster than you can imagine.

This does not mean you cannot still make mistakes after all these but I want you to know that each time you use the word mistake concerning yourself, you are slowing down the speed at which you move towards success.

SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE ALLOW THE LEAST NUMBER OF MISTAKES ON THEIR PART

2) IMPOSSIBLE

This is another equally dangerous word because it puts the brain in a position of rest and inactivity. Once you say something is ‘impossible’, it is finished for you as regards that thing because the word safely buries the ability to accomplish tasks inherent in you.

Why do people say impossible? According to best selling author Dr Robert Schuler, people use the word when they lack or believe they cannot get one or more of the things necessary to achieve their aims. Be it academic qualification, financial muscle etc. Whatever the case is, NEVER say impossible because you loose too many things at the same time. Will power, initiative, drive, focus etc.

Sometimes people do not even know why they use the word except that the assignment is enormous yet they go ahead to declare it IMPOSSIBLE. However, this word can be permitted if used with some thought provoking words acting as a prefix. Examples of those words include what, why, how to mention a few. The question “why is it impossible” helps to determine the things needed to reverse that impossibility and “how can it be possible” helps you fashion out ways of getting those things needed to achieve the aim.

In conclusion, the number of times you use the word impossible would determine the number of abandoned projects, failures and the ideas you refuse to pursue in life. Try to reduce the number and you would find you are moving faster on the road to success.

3) QUIT

This is another failure inducing word used by people who encountered a road block on their journey towards success. When this happens, they give in to fear, frustration and a host of other things and before long they begin to consider quitting. The disaster in the process I have just described is that they may be few inches from success before quitting. As such, the project is completed by someone who has not put in half as much effort as they. More disheartening is the waste of the most precious asset of people who use this word as it is only people who endure till the end that wears the crown of achievement.

In order not to use that word, I would suggest two extreme sides of a coin. The first side of the coin is focusing on the pleasures achieving the goal will give you that you will miss by quitting. The other side of the coin is to focus on what will become your lot if you quit at this moment. Using financial empowerment goals as an example, what you will miss is the much coveted financial independence. What you will have is your present existence, no time to stay with your family, worry related health problems etc. This should be enough to keep you from quitting.

4) AFRAID

This is one of the greatest failure inducing words in the English dictionary. It is the adjectival form of the word used when there is an unpleasant situation caused by nearness to danger or pain. The difference here is the danger is imagined and may never occur.

People say I am afraid due to so many things whether real or imagined but whatever it is, always remember that whatever you are afraid of is holding you captive and preventing your success. Your fear provides you with very plausible reasons you should hold on to it there by shutting the thought wheel of your brain. Sometimes, the use of that word prevents the wheel from starting in the first place.

FINAL EXERCISE

I want you to measure your speed towards success. Take a piece of paper that can easily be folded into your purse. Rule such that you can make marks against the dates. Note the number of times you use any of these words or related word. Begin to consciously reduce the number of times you use them and you would realize at the end that you have changed you thought process and are attracting success faster than before..

In conclusion, I wish you luck as you create a register that propels you towards success.

MASTER MIND PARTNERS CLUB

SUCCESS MAGNETS’ MASTER MIND PARTNER’S CLUB

A master mind is the product of the coming together of a group people with similar aspirations to jointly brainstorm on the problems facing each member of the group in pursuit of his/her aspiration. It was conceived based on agreement with the part of the bible which say that iron sharpeneth iron and has been the basis of the formation of most of the social clubs available in town today.

As time went by, it became nearly impossible to have master mind alliances remaining healthy for a long period of time there by resulting in the creation of the concept of the master mind partner. it is forming a master mind with one person whom you believe shares your desire for success and would be able to motivate you to achieve your own success. Other advantages include the possible formation of long term relationships in every area of life.

KNOWING YOUR DESTINITION

There is no better way to start than having a clear definition of our destination “SUCCESS’. This is because that understanding would help us to clearly define the steps that would lead us there and prevent us from embarking on fruitless journeys. In the context of the title of this blog ‘SUCCESS MAGNETS’ we need to understand what success is so as to know what we have to do to magnetize it.

I want to define success as the achievement of that one thing that gives achiever maximum joy, fulfillment and brings about promotion in every area of his/her life. From the student who wishes to pass his/her exams to the fresh graduate who is in search of a gainful employment and the person whose ultimate desire is to start his journey towards entrepreneurship. Having made this conclusion, how then do we magnetize success.(while thinking of a title for this blog, I was struck by some people’s seeming ability to attract success in whatever they do while others struggle to achieve their own success giving the same conditions).

The following are the tools we should put in place to MAGNETIZE our own success.

1) Clearly define what success means to you: this is a million dollar question most people have not been able to answer. Unfortunately it is almost impossible to achieve success until you know what it means to you. However, what you call your own success should be big and important enough for you to want to pay the price of achieving it. This way, you would not want to faint along the line way because there is something worth while for you to look forward to.

2) The next thing is to determine the requirements of achieving your own success. In doing this, you should consider the actions of people you know who have tried to achieve the same form of success in the past (you could schedule meetings with them where possible so as to avoid any form of speculations) with a view to avoiding the pit the fell into. What requirements can you copy from them and what can you add to or remove from their story to enable you achieve faster and better results than they did.

3) You now set out meeting those requirements one after the other. This is a very important aspect as you begin to take concrete steps towards the actualization of your dreams. As such, it is at this point that you start to face set backs and your mind needs to be prepared to withstand the problems lest you quit and become a cast away.

In conclusion, the above are the foundational requirements of magnetizing success. In subsequent blogs, we would be discussing other things needed to build on the things stated above but I would like to say here that you would need a lot of confidence in yourself and a trailer load of P M A (Positive mental attitude).
