The
will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full
potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal
excellence.

Dream Big
What do you see when you picture yourself in the future?Do you become happy or sad?
Studies have shown that when people envision themselves reaching their goals,they're more likely to make it happen . That's why it's important to picture a positive future for yourself.Even if you're not sure of how to achieve them,try to see them in your mind.
Never in your life downplay your intelligence and capabilities.Tell yourself "I want to do it; i won't stop it until i have achieved it" because the more you repeat this to yourself, of what you are doing. Aristotle once said, "We are what we repeatedly do; excellence therefore is not an act,it is a habit"
Never in your life should you think negative of someone or be jealous and envious of someone's success.Instead, you should aim at achieving what they have achieved and even bigger dreams, because the bigger your dreams,the more likely you will achieve you will achieve it.
Let me give you a simple scenario.Two people were to stand at a distance and hit some items with a stone.
One was to hit an empty tin of milk and the other, a polytank. Who among these two do you think was more likely to hit a target? Obviously and undoubtedly, it would be the one to hit the polytank. So you see,the bigger your dream,the more likely you will achieve it.
"If you dream,dream big, as big as the ocean"
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful or happy.
Norman Vincent Peale

SELF-ESTEEM
It is very interesting to know how much we have been endowed with much potential, potential that we are not even aware of. There is this attitude that i term "The Gideon Factor" which goes a long way to influence our self
esteem in no small way.
In the story of Gideon (Jgs 6;12), he belittled himself thinking he is not capable of the task assigned to him.Later
on ,he realizes he is a man of valor, he was able to show the true image of himself thereby saving the people of Israel.
In this era of life,it takes people who never devalue themselves but see themselves as capable of doing everything under the sun to get their dreams come true. The optimists are always on top because they never give up- they use the smallest opportunity as means of reaching higher heights.On the other hand ,the pessimists fall back attributing failure to other factors which can never be described.
We have all been obliged: be ti academic,ministerial appointment, social relationship, e.t.c to run the race for one "ultimate prize" but it takes people who never give up to win this prize.
To us who still believe we can do better, let us not belittle ourselves, for we can stand tall without standing on someone and be victors without having victims.
Aim high,see yourself at the top and the "ultimate prize " will be yours. Always remember that your self-esteem reflects your self-image.

Students and Challenges
We being students,there comes a time when it
seems impossible to move on because no matter
how hard we try,we keep failing, or it seems
our best is not enough.To the extent that all
hope is lost,but i want to let you know that
when that time comes there s still hope, when
it seems you are lost.there is light at the end
of the tunnel.
Just keep on fighting and never give up.If you
want something,get it,if you dream of it then believe
it.The sky is never the limit but the starting point.
Hence go on,believe in yourself,keep on fighting and
don't be afraid to show your true colours.
And know that you don't always get to win,but whenever
you lose you get better.
Don't get discourage because you made a mistake,
learn a lesson and from that lesson be encouraged to
do great,better,beyond excellent next time.
As you go on put it in mind that when you give it
your best shot and you fail, it's not seen as a
failure but rather an opportunity to step up and do
even better next time.

Life and Challenges
In life there comes a time when we are faced with challenges and sometimes these challenges make us want to give up in life.But believe no matter how hard or difficult your challenges maybe, never give up cause these challenges,these problems makes us grow strong once they don't kill us and the stronger we grow the better it is for us and the more closer we get to our dreams in life.As we grow in life, challenges and problems may come our way but what makes us who we are is how we choose to overcome these challenges and problems that come our way.And if we fall know that it is for a better course and a lesson learned but not an important aspect but what is important is how we rise up from the fall.With determination and perseverance we shall overcome.
Thomas Fuller once said " An invincible determination can accomplish almost anything and this lies the great distinction between great men and little men"
Also believe in yourself and everything you do,be patient,calm with yourself and in all you do.
