BECAUSE THEY REFUSED TO PAY THE PRICE(PAY THE PRICE)

Sometimes I really wish evryone knew
That success was their God-given portion and due
But all that God and life requires
Is that for them they pay a price

Just a little,indeed,extremely little price life demands
Work hard,believe ,and do whatever you have to do on time
Yet people choose to do otherwise and so go through life
Bemoaning their lot like they deserved otherwise

But sincerely how I wish,oh how I wish
That their eyes of understand could be opened so they can see
That they suffer,struggly and experience needless strife
Because they refused to pay the price.


My bobos and babes,I believe you were inspired by the poem above. I would strongly advice you to go over it again and again and again, for in it lie seeds of astounding success. You see the poem just wrote itself,like all my write-ups seem to do.This is because like every other thing I have ever written or said, the words came from the innermost recesses of my being, and the moral of the poem is simply this:you have to pay the price for success in life.Especially when it is great success you desire.Just like athletes have to life a somewhat regimented life and make a whole lot of sacrifices-like cutting down of fatty foods ,alcohol and redmeat-to achieve success,every other person has to do the same.We all have to give something in exchange for success,that is what paying the price is all about.It is about making sacrifices.The sacrifices may come in different forms depending on the walk of life you are in. If you are a student, the price to be paid to be the best in class will be to spend more time in your room or in the library studying,while your friends are outside playing football. Believe me,that can be a very hard one. An employee who wants to climb the corporate ladder real fast might have to show a readiness to do jobs for his boss other employees refused to do either because they felt it was not part of their job,or out of pride.How about the pastor?Any pastor who wants to always preach a good sermon that lifts the soul must devote a substantial amount iof his time to reading the bible,meditating on it and preparing his sermon.This is generally what paying the price is all about.
I could go on and on,giving you more examples with people in different walks of life, but why bore you with that. You go ahead and apply the principle of paying the price to other walks of life and see if it does not apply. You can also consider the lives of the great men and women of different walks of life who have graced the face of the earth. From William H.Gates to Nelson Mandela.Their stories have one common denominator:They paid the price-and guess what,the ones alive are still paying the price. So tell me,honestly now, ARE YOU PAYING THE PRICE? No,honestly.

WHO AM I EH?

You really wan know who I be? You wan know why I feel say I go fit teach you how to live your life and be successful(or more successful if you already are successful). Well,sorry to disappoint you, I am not a doctorate degree holder,neither do I advice the president-at least not yet-on issues bordering on the economy and how to rule successfully. And honestly, I don't need to be all this to have the requisite knowledge and experience to advise you. Being what I am,a young business man in his twenties ,who tried his hands on his very first business venture at the tender age of seven-when most of my mates did not even know anything about how money was made,not to talk of thinking of owning a business-and have made very good money from the stock exchange and owning a string of small businesses-,I believe I have the requisite skills and experience to make you a financially healthy person. Also,given the fact that almost everyone who has crossed my path has either said-since my secondary school days- that I affected their lives tremendously or I ought to be a life guide(a sort of teacher), and for numerous other reasons, I deem myself fit to teach you how to live a life that will be utterly fulfilling and successful.That said,welcom to MAKING HEADWAY!
