 “ 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.

4. They are fearful like everyone else, but they are not controlled or limited by fear.
5. They ask the right questions - the ones which put them in a productive, creative, positive mindset and emotional state.

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.
