"Microwave Mentality"

If you're looking for results in your business or personal life and feeling frustrated that it's taking too long, perhaps you need to drop the mentality. Remember: anything that's worth something takes time.

To be honest with ourselves, how many times have we wanted to be the exception to every rule? I want to lose weight, but I don’t want to stop eating dessert, candy bars, and fried foods. I want to lose weight, but I don’t want to exercise. I want to lose weight, but I want it now without any work put into it. I want to build a business, but I don’t want to start from the foundation. I want a successful business, but I don’t want to spend time and money to make it happen. I want to build a business, but I want it now without any work put into it. So, what can we do to change this mentality?

According to Charlene Tops, this is called "Microwave Mentality".  Wanting things to happen the quick way.

I realize how simple it is to want instant gratification. We live in a fast-paced world and we desire fast-paced results, but the microwave mentality doesn't work on anything of value in our lives. We need to realign our thinking. Pursue your goals and dreams with a desire for quality, regardless of the time and effort it takes. Remember, the only thing a microwave is really good for is to heat up leftovers! My experience so far in Strong Future International has taught me more on this.(You can visit the link to find out more it.)

I'll say;

• Re-condition your brain.
• Break-down your goals into small sections
• Write your goals down and revisit them.

Funny or not?

The creativity of Nigerian comedians cannot be overemphasized. But sometimes I just wonder about some.

You've come across several of them (yes! you can even mention names). I just came across this guy and he tried a remake of Hon. Patrick.

Watch and let and let me know your take.

The Prediction

I just stumbled on this very simple Brain Teaser and want to know what your answer would be. Give it your best shot.
Here it goes:

John and His friend Dave had a little debate about the a football match between Nigeria and South Africa. 

John predicted that before the match starts, the Score would be Nigeria 0: South Africa 0.
 Dave argued this scoreline and said it would Nigeria 2: South Africa 0.

They both watched the match together. The scoreline at the end of the match was Nigeria 2: South Africa 0.

Dave rejoiced that he won the bet, John argued that he was right with his own prediction. 


Did John lose or win the bet? why?

Quick thinkers

Tell me a fruit with 5 letters,

when you remove the 1st letter it becomes a crime, 

when you remove 2 first letters it becomes an animal and 

if you remove the first and the last letter it becomes a type of music.

Give it a try....

What's your "Ice-breaker"?

Often times we meet people and striking a lovely conversation becomes important.  It's indeed tricky meeting new people.This is because you don't know what to expect from them- there do's and don'ts. 

Oh!!! just if you are wondering what I meant initially,simple, What's your "pick-up" line or how do you initiate a conversation?

To some persons this may not be an issue to others it's really a big deal. You could begin with current issues and happenings.Some persons begin talking by asking simple questions like "What brings you to this part of town?", "what do you do?" and so on. This may work for some but it may be a turn-off for others. Let us know, What is your own Ice-breaker?

Count to 10

When I was much younger my dad told me a story of how they would take off their clothes, spread them on a then less busy PortHarcourt Airport road and go swimming.
Now if for any reason a mad person comes and picks up their clothes (Just picture that in your mind), would you jump out of the river and run after the mad man? Your guess is as good as mine.
Before you take any action, you can count to 10 (Yes I know it's a cliche).  Always take this step especially if your immediate action has a long-lasting consequence.
