FINDING YOUR PATH. -ALLI QUADRI OLALEKAN (CEO, QUADOOWEAR)

To find one's path is to find one's purpose and destiny, to do the unpopular, to be different from the crowd, to go at your own pace, to live love on your own terms and align your disordered self with the perfect order in the universe, to live a life that other people will appreciate, admire and want to follow. Finding your path in life is to let your light shine so brigt that the people will see it and glorify your Father in heaven (Matt. 5: 16). Finding your path makes your original, different and unique. You follow "the narrow gate" (Matt. 7:13). To find your path, you must go in opposite direction to the world. Man makes no major effect in life his early stage, he is being acted upon. Man's early life is mostly spent  on learning his environment which is still strange to him and continues to marvel him. He looks at his surrounding in awe and amazement of how plants grow, how living beings become pregnant and deliver their  youngs, and why people die,...

GIVE IT TIME, ENOUGH TIME. - ALLI QUADRI OLALEKAN. CEO, QUADOOWEAR

Life is directly proportional to time, and to say you have life or you are alive is to say you have time, life and time are just two words that mean the same thing, just like 48 hours and 2days means the same. Life is based solely on two concepts; time and space, these two are the only constants, life itself is a provision of the two. The two  (time and space) can never exist separate from eachother for thay are dependent on eachother, there has to be a space for an occourence, there has to be a time when an occourence happens, the experiencing of time and space is what is called an "event". So we cannot say I am writting (event) this message without knowing or having a place (space), and when (time)  am performing this act. You can never be reading this message (event) without being in a place (space) and having a moment (time) seperated from your busy schedule to perform this act. Can you cook beans (event) in your kitchen (place) in ten minutes? Can you expe...

WHY START-UPS FAIL

Why do start-ups fail?  I saw this question on a friend's Facebook wall and the first thing I did was to stop and think,  really,  why do start-ups fail?   I took my time to think,  I wanted to reply with impressive response so I thought deeply and searched my soul for answers.  I was receiving answers such as lack of capital,  people problems,  government policies and all those things that they tell us in conventional business seminars but all these didn't convince me, they are not the reasons for start-up failure as far as I am concerned,  so I asked myself, what will I respond to this question?  Suddenly,  something pop up in my mind,  the answer just arrived shinning so bright like the sun and lighting up my mind.  The answer is so simple that I would overlook it and go for bigger reasons or bigger grammars to convince the world that I know what I am saying,  but it is not the big and ...

GROWTH Focus on growth, not success. Growth is a process of learning and being. MR NIGER D Do you remember this in your secondary school days?

THE POWER OF YOUR FOCUS

There is a wood to be cut into a firewood  to make fire for food, you are given an axe to use, which would you use, a sharpened axe or one with a weak blade? Which gets the work done faster? The sharpened axe. Focus is just like the sharpened axe, have focus and everything will works like magic.  Lets take for example, the telescope.
