Leadership has been described as "a process of social influence in which a person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task".[wikipedia]

 “ Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who can cut through argument, debate and doubt, to offer a solution everybody can understand. ” ― Colin Powell 

I stumbled upon some great description of top seven leadership qualities and would love to share with you. This article was written by one of my inspirational authors Brian Tracy. I hope you learn from it.

"And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy." ~ Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet

I recently overheard a conversation between a group of friends who were discussing the idea of going on a vacation together. One person mentioned that the financial cost was a bit out of her budget and she suggested the group choose a destination that could be just as fun but at a lower cost.

One of the other people in the group said with frustration, "Come on! Why are you always so cheap?"

Inspiration: What are you?

Inspiration: What are you?

Are you a winner, are you willing to chase your dreams, have you allowed the challenges of life to hold you down?

Life can be challenging; we encounter difficulty here and there, oppositions, limitations and setbacks in life. Yes, you are not alone in this challenging world. Sometimes, we find ourselves in positions we never envisaged that we are; we wish to turn things around but we keep hitting roadblocks.

In this post, we will look at the Parable of the Eagle by James Aggrey. We will analyse it and give example of how it is applicable to life.

Integrating Public Utilities with Private Generators

Integrating Public Utilities with Private Generators

On-Grid Connection of Private Generators

From my previous posts Challenges to Solar Power Solution in Nigeria, The Solar Power Solution and Electricity Industry in Nigeria, I have written about the challenges and solutions to Electricity Business in Nigeria; however, there is still an aspect that I am yet to write about.

Currently, all private generation of electricity is for private consumption in Nigeria. While running our private generators for homes and businesses, there are times when these generators are not capable of supplying all our energy needs and other times; these generators generate excess power for our consumption. All the excess power generated is usually wasted while the generators serve their lifetimes. Companies that possess high capacity generators can actually feed-in the excess power generated by them to the local Distribution Company and earn money or energy credits. Also, when private generators cannot generate enough power, it will augment with the power from the Distribution Company.

How can we make this Solar Power solution possible in Nigeria?

Where can the everyday Nigerian get the money for Solar Power generation?

The first thing about a solution is accepting it as a solution. I have gone thru a quiz from friends on how I can recoup my money if I install it for consumer. However, my goal is not to install for a consumer but to install for very Nigerian and African at large.

Ideas rule the world.

Having pointed out some of the numerous problems in the Electricity problem industry in the previous post on this blog, it will do a lot of good to proffer solutions before we delve into more problems.

Being a Nigerian or residing in Nigeria can be very tough. If you have experienced Nigeria then you should be aware that Electricity is a very difficult commodity to come by and you must know that getting ten hours of electricity in Nigeria everyday is nearly impossible. Furthermore, the electricity bills are coming in every month with fixed and usage charges; and with the advent of privatization we will be expecting increment as well.

The Path Chosen by the Flying Eagles

The Path Chosen by the Flying Eagles

In the early hours of 7 June 2015, the Flying Eagles of Nigeria qualified for the round 16 elimination stage in the FIFA U-20 world cup, thanks to the two-goal hero, Taiwo Awoniyi. Congratulations! Everyone is rejoicing, yes; however, in our qualification, we will be facing Germany in the next round. Most Nigerians became worried over this encounter, given that the Germans are European champions, and they have scored more goals than any other team in this tournament.

Wisdom and the Road to Success

Wisdom and the Road to Success

The highest form of knowledge is revelation knowledge. It is the inspirational illumination of the mind of man by the spirit of God almighty. Revelation knowledge is wisdom. It is a mystery hidden in God; it can only be accessed by a receptive and grateful mind that continually acknowledges its sources. It transforms a novice into an expert 1 Corinthians 2:6-16. It turns a weakling into a bold adventurer, a timid dullard into an inventor or pioneer; and, it energies a quiet fellow, making him or her to become a passionate propagator of the promises of God. It turns shame into fame.

Greatness, Knowledge, Understanding and Success

Greatness is a virtue. It is the art of attaching to people of higher intelligence and learning from them. It is the art of staying ahead; ahead of your competitors.

The greatest asset a man can posses is the knowledge of the best course of action to take at every point in time in our journey through life. Sometimes, we make good decisions, sometimes we make bad decisions; however, we must learn from our decisions so as to become greater in life. While we learn from these decisions, we need to pray to God to give us better understanding of the course of action in all events in our lives.
