WHEN OPPORTUNITY MEETS PLANNING...

"Good fortune is what happens when opportunity meets with planning."

 As we know, opportunities cannot be foreseen so it is wise to be prepared to open a door of opportunity that meets our expectations. Most people are guilty of sitting back and waiting for an opportunity to knock at their door, the above quote explains that things can either be planned or left to randomness. Opportunities don't just spring up without preparedness...

Abraham Lincoln once said "I will prepare and someday my chance will come"
As humans, we live with the hope for a better tomorrow. As long as we live, we keep dreaming, expecting and hoping that things will work out well. We fail to understand that in wanting tomorrow to be better, we have to give our best today.

Success doesn't come to you, you go for it, this happens when 'opportunity means preparation' at the same time your 'opportunity meets with your plans', excellence is yours...

This is like having an exam coming up and you act lackadaisical towards it, when the result comes out and you fail woefully, would you be surprised? obviously NO!. You can't expect a miracle to happen in that situation or manna to fall from HEAVEN.

This simple illustration explains it- Exam (OPPORTUNITY) : Studying ( PREPARATION) + Targets (PLANNING) = Results (SUCCESS)
  
"Preparation for an unforeseen opportunity leads to proper maximization of a given opportunity."

Whatever is worth doing is worth doing well...preparation and planning helps you to grow and develop in whatever you do, be it career wise or personal life. No one ever got rich or successful without having a suitable plan for their lives

 You have to learn to create the life you want but not forgetting in line with God's purpose for you, this will be a topic for another day. By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail... Preparation is key into achieving good results.

    Agreed. To succeed you have to plan and to plan you have to prepare. Nice.

GIVE THANKS

THANKSGIVING AS A LIFESTYLE... A song writer once said "Give thanks with a grateful heart" and I totally agree with that, I'm so in love with that song...you can't imagine lol. We should be wired to give thanks to God as our lifestyle and not a choice. Today is supposed to be my mid-year thanksgiving in church but I am caught up at work. I woke up with mixed emotions, sad that I will be working whereas my mates are in church celebrating thanksgiving. But then again I thought of the fact that thanksgiving requires more than just your presence but a grateful heart. There is no reason why you should not say "Thank you Jesus" every morning when you wake up. Its more than just a gift to be alive everyday, It is a miracle. Recently, my brother was telling me about a friend who lost another friend in a ghastly motor accident. I was so inquisitive that I went as far as researching on the dead girl. I couldn't hold back my tears as I went through her Fac

Xenophobia or Afrophobia: Is it the fear of foreigners or the fear of fellow Africans? by Mary Izobo – International Human Rights Lawyer

Xenophobia or Afrophobia: Is it the fear of foreigners or the fear of fellow Africans? I am what you would call a nomadic African who has not had the luxury of being sedentary. In my twenty-something years, I have lived in five countries and still counting. South Africa, where I recently completed a Master’s degree is my latest home. However, I have felt more unwelcome in South Africa than anywhere else. In 2007, when I first arrived in Pretoria, a policeman stopped my car to check where I was from, because apparently, I looked ‘different’. As soon as I said I am from Nigeria, he asked for my bags which he proceeded to search it disparagingly, as if it contained pieces of dirt, and not my treasured valuables. He then demanded to search my handbag. By this time I had had enough of his disrespectful behaviour, so I refused to give him my handbag. I pointed out that by law, no policeman is allowed to search a female handbag without a warrant of arrest and only if I was charg

WAYS TO KNOW A GUY IS INTO YOU

Image
Some of us are so lost in the "Friend zone" that we don't even realize when that "friend" got something more than we imagine. There are a few basic ways in which we can tell whether or not that guy likes us. Don't quote me though, I believe there are several other ways but these are the few I have noticed over time. There are some unconscious things guys do when they feel differently about a lady, no matter how much they try to hide it you can tell when a guy is attracted to a woman... WHAT HE SAYS- You can tell from what a guy says whether or not he is into you but you cannot be 100 percent sure from this. Observe closely the way he talks to you and the kind of conversation you hold. The subject of his conversation may rate how he views you, does he TEASE you frequently? Playful teasing may hint that he wishes you to tease back. A guy almost never teases a girl he isn't interested in. Sometimes he goes as far as mimicking something about you.When a
