Good Morning! Today's post is a continuation of yesterday's. If you missed it, check this link:   How To Deal With A Bad Boss 1. Get certain you're dealing with a bad boss Make sure it's not you that's the problem, that you're not delivering below standard. Find out if there's a reason for their behavior and check yourself to know if you're not being too hard on them. For the next few days, observe. 2. Find out what makes your boss tick What do you do that sets them off? Why do they get into a rage? Establish that it's not work or the working environment. 3. Identify their motivation Why do they care about certain things much more than others? This could give you an insight into their leadership style. 4. Make sure it doesn't affect your work No matter how badly your boss' behaves, do not let it affect your work.  Stay on good terms with your colleagues and your other leaders in the organization. Do not spread a bad word. Remember, whatever n...

 Good morning Achievers! Hope your sleep was sweet? This morning, we'll be dissecting one major enemy of our success— complacency. We'll be looking at it's roots and how to deal with it. Enjoy! Com`pla`cen`cy A  feeling  of  contented  self-satisfaction, especially when  unaware  of  upcoming trouble . Be it in business, academics, finance or any other aspect, this is a feeling that kicks in and we must contend with it, if we're going to continue succeeding. Let me explain: Most times, we become complacent just after a big victory. We feel like we have accomplished a hard task and we let ourselves loose a little. Complacency is one enemy of further success. It leaves you comfortable and satisfied with your current level, not wanting to reach for more. From the definition, we are made to see how dangerous it is for one to be complacent. It says there that it keeps you in the dark about looming trouble. The trouble you do not know about, how ...

  Good morning Champions, Here's the concluding part of our series on the attributes of love. I hope you have been following? If you missed the last, you can check the link: https://chuksofficial.blogspot.com/2020/08/morning-motivation-thursday_13.html Attributes of Love 1. Doesn’t revel when others grovel : Do you take pleasure in the sufferings and downfall of others? Are you happy when it's someone else who's failing? If yes, then, you need to check your love tank. It's running out of "love gas". Be happy when you win, but, also commiserate with the person who lost. You might just be the inspiration they need to get up. 2. Takes pleasure in the flowering of truth:  Doesn't seek to hide the truth. I have learned that no matter how bad the truth may seem, it is better told. It is like a salve. Although it might sting a little, it does more good to the individual than a lie. Remember, a lie is a lie, no matter the cloak you wear it.   3. Puts up with anyth...

 Good morning! Hope your week is going fine? Today, I have some nice quotes for you.  They are: 1. "Take up one idea. Make that one idea your life--think of it, dream of it, live on that idea. Let the brain, muscles, nerves, every part of your body, be full of that idea, and just leave every other idea alone. This is the way to success." --Swami Vivekananda 2. "All our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them." --Walt Disney 3. "Good things come to people who wait, but better things come to those who go out and get them." --Anonymous 4. "If you do what you always did, you will get what you always got." --Anonymous 5. "Success is walking from failure to failure with no loss of enthusiasm." --Winston Churchill 6. "Just when the caterpillar thought the world was ending, he turned into a butterfly." --Proverb 7. "Successful entrepreneurs are givers and not takers of positive energy." --Anonymous 8. ...

Good morning! Hope your sleep was sweet? Look what we have today:  These are the four important workplace rules. Easy to remember and also easy to live by.  Have a great day!  

  Mark was always one of the smartest kids in his class. He’s done well in his career, but when he checks Facebook, he sees people he outperformed at school who have now achieved more. Likewise, there are colleagues at his firm who have leapfrogged him. Sometimes he wonders, “What am I doing wrong?” Sound familiar? You might relate to Mark yourself, or have an employee or loved one who struggles with similar feelings. Raw intelligence is undoubtedly a huge asset, but it isn’t everything. And sometimes, when intellectually gifted people don’t achieve as much as they’d like to, it’s because they’re subtly undermining themselves. If you’re in this situation, the good news is that when you understand these foibles you can turn them around. Here are five I’ve seen smart people particularly struggle with: 1. Smart people sometimes devalue other skills, like relationship building, and over-concentrate on intellect.  Very smart people sometimes see their success as inevitable because ...

Good morning dears,  Today, we're continuing the series we started on the attributes of love.  For a recap, here's the link: https://chuksofficial.blogspot.com/2020/08/good-morning-people-this-morning-im.html The four bits for this week are: 1. Doesn’t force itself on others: There are 7billion people, each with unique minds. You're just as special as the next person. Why then do you want to impose your will and override the other person's? If you want people to do something, you make them buy into your idea. That way, they pursue it as they would their own goal.   2. Isn’t always “me first":  You want to be satisfied first every time. That's a bad habit. It's a signal that something is wrong on the inside. What if you don't come first? One needs to learn how to handle rejection.   3. Doesn’t fly off the handle: This talks about self-control. Have you ever been in a situation where you are so pissed and irritated? Did you get yourself in control of your...

   The little things that you think don't matter actually do. If you add a touch of excellence into every bit, you can tell your outcome. Strive today to add an extra effort into that ordinary task. Good morning!

Good Morning People, This morning, I'm addressing a key aspect of our living— Love! Many at times, when we broach this subject— love your neighbor, love yourself, love your job, etc.,we look at it from one supernormal angle.  Here's a simplified view of it. It is broken down for easy understanding and identification. Characteristics of Love 1. Love never gives up:  It still finds a way to get up in the morning and get going. It extends another arm.  Love not only tries, it tries again. A Japanese proverb says; "If I fall seven times, I stand up eight". 2. Love cares more for others than for self:  This keeps you in check even as a leader. It doesn't mean you don't care for yourself, just that you are not all self-centered. From time to time, we might need to get out of our comfort zone just to help.   3. Love doesn’t want what it doesn’t have:  This is self-control and contentment. Of course, it doesn't mean that you shouldn't strive for excellence. Th...

Good Morning! How's your week going? I have two quotes that will help you through today (and every other day). They are: 1. "No matter the obstacle or raging storm, keep fanning the sparkle until it becomes a self-sustaining fire. We must never lose passion." -McElah 2. "As an entrepreneur, you must maintain the same passion with which your original idea was conceived until you break-even and beyond - a difficult task, but possible one." -McElah  Happy Wednesday!

I learnt a key lesson on dedication and diligence from the sun. I'll be kind to share today. I doubt that there is anyone who is as dedicated as the sun. If it were to be given awards, it'd collect several. When it's turn comes to shine, it shines. It doesn't go about whining and complaining about how that it shone all week, it just shines.  Sometimes, we need to suck all the excuses in and just get on with our jobs. Do what you do and do it well. Good morning! . . . . #motivational #motivation #success 

It's Monday! Do I hear a "Yayyyy!!!" or "Nayyyy!!"? Well, I have a story for you today. I hope you read it.  The Story: O ne windy day, the egg of an eagle rolled down a cliff. A farmer who was passing by saw it and picked it. He took it home and kept it alongside his other turkey eggs. One by one the eggs all hatched. The eagle looked different from the others but he didn't mind. He flocked with them. He dined with them. One day, he saw a convocation (that's what a group of eagles is called) of eagles fly past. He signalled the other turkeys, wanting them to watch the eagles. Later at dinner table, he asked his siblings (the turkeys) why they all couldn't fly like the birds that they saw earlier on. The eldest of them answered and said: "We can't fly that high and for that long because those birds are eagles and we are turkeys." The lone eagle, accepted his fate and though he yearned to soar, he never did. He died not knowing his capab...

Happy Monday to you there! Welcome to our Morning Motivation post. The weekend is over and a fresh and clean Monday is here.  Been wondering how to start your week? How to stay motivated, especially today? If I may ask,  how do you see Mondays?  Are you all motivated and ready to work or do you find yourself lacking in sufficient energy to run the day? Sometimes we wish that Sunday should have 30 hours instead of 24, just so we can delay Monday from coming.   You are not alone. It has been proven by majority that Mondays tend to bring on a gloomy feeling as people feel distressed because they remember that they have to go to work, they have to get to school, they have to complete unfinished tasks from the previous week, deadlines to meet, the list is endless. The trick to combat this is filling your mental container with some fresh inspiration— positive thoughts! For example, thoughts that something great and beautiful is going to happen today. Do you kno...
