New Year Greetings!
It is unfortunate and yet inevitable that the vacation period is almost getting
close to an edge. As we usher in this promising year, I feel inclined to give
you some nuggets of inspiration that I hopefully believe will guide you
throughout this year.
First, it has been a
milestone journey through the past year and there are quite a number of
rigorous activities that have taken place; ranging from graduations, job
promotions, spiritual convictions and vocations, family responsibilities,
career upgrade and deviations, matrimonial activities and exchange of vows at
the aisle and new business setups by innovative entrepreneurs. This includes
also getting your first stable job and smiling all the way to the bank.
Now, it is yet another new year 2016. What are your
aspirations, your dreams and your objectives for this year? This is a year of
fulfillment and achieving what you were unable to acquire in the just ended
year. You have previously missed some shots in your career and lost some great
opportunities. Just like Michael Jordan
once stated that he failed over and over again, for this year let yourself
learn from your past mistake and come out as strong as a conqueror.
Here are
some of the major points I would love to share with you as we embark on this
great year:
1. Let what your are
enthusiastic about be your driving force
A certain author once stated that you cannot deliver goods
if your heart is heavier than the load. This distinctively implies that you
should not let yourself be swayed by continuously doing something you dislike.
This is a year of change and transformation. By doing what you love, you can be
able to “move mountains” that seemed really dormant. Steve Jobs once stated that you got do find what you love doing and
that will be a breakthrough to your success.
Charles Kingsley
was once quoted saying “We act as though comfort and luxury were the
chief requirements of life, when all that we need to make us happy is something
to be enthusiastic about.” Apparently, life will bring out a new zest
with deeper interest and meaning when we choose to do something the heart
loves.
2. Seize the
opportunity as it comes
This is whether it is a job opportunity (especially for the
job seekers), job promotion and even development of your career. It is clear
that Rome was not built in a day and
thus for you to rise up the corporate ladder you really have to start from
somewhere. Someone once said that today is the future from which you expected
so much in the past. The ideal time will never come.
Thus it would be prudent if you live for today and seize
each opportunity that comes by. Do not let your disheartening past intrigue
your future. Thus by doing the best this time, it would ultimately put you a
notch higher in another moment in future. John
Burroughs once stated, “…the man who will not execute his
resolutions when they are fresh on him can have no hope from them afterwards;
they will be dissipated, lost and perished in the hurry and scurry of the world
and sunk in the slough of indolence…”
3. Exercise kindness through molding or
helping others
It is always clear that as you stretch out a helping hand,
much is always bestowed unto you. There is this belief that the more you become
philanthropic in your deeds and in provision of charity to the less fortunate,
the more you open door of blessings to your business. It is true that each
person offers the world with an opportunity to serve.
As one singer once stated “Man is not an island”, everyone
requires assistance from someone else. Actually, you will absolutely feel some
sought of fulfillment and happy as you help others. In the Bible, Jesus once said, “…He that is greatest among you
shall be your servant.” Let this be one of your agenda in 2016!
4. Intend to do
something innovative for yourself
This is most inclined to upcoming entrepreneurs! Apparently,
you will realize that everything that we are actually enjoying came from
nothing. It was the sharp and ingenious minds of entrepreneurs and innovators
that brought the goodies that we are actually enjoying. As an entrepreneur this
is a great challenge for you.
First, it is about doing what you can, using the resources
that you have in the place that you are; the rest shall then be added unto you.
You really got to put your idea into reality and believe you me; it will be
door opener to your success.
As I conclude, Clint
Brown once stated, “The world will always give you an
opportunity to quit but only the world would call quitting an opportunity.”
Thus it all depends on you and for you to win, all you need is to stand up and
get counted. This is a year of blessing! March like an armed soldier in a
battlefield and ultimately you will say, “Yes
I did it!”
