25 LESSONS I'VE LEARNT IN MY 25 YEARS ON EARTH!

On Saturday the 25th of July year 2009 marked my 25 years of existence on earth, I decided to do what I have never done before – SHARE THE MOST VITAL LESSONS OF MY 25 YEARS ON EARTH – with you all as my birthday gift to y’all.

My aim is not to impress you with words that you fail to recognize the very knowledge and insight inherent in them, but to share the essence of my life for the past 25 years of my existence.

we can choose ‘who’ and ‘what’ we become! (REBIRTH)

7.  Until you become different (unique), you will never be spotted. Until you are making a difference (being useful), you can never get to the top!

8.   Success is the achievement of a goal (VISION); significance is the fulfillment of destiny (PURPOSE). Your task therefore, is to pursue success (a goal) and submit to purpose (your destiny).

9.   Spend your life learning the "how to do" and the "what to do"; the "when to do" and "where to do" will naturally come to you. For opportunities only flow in the path of those who are equipped and ready to exploit it.
