The Weeping Lecturer

In the morning, the heavens opened and it began to rain. Bella grabbed her umbrella to get to school, as she walked out of the hostel the first

Price of greatness

There is one of the greatest lessons you learned in life is never aspire to attain or be jealous of another person's position or achievement in life until you know or find out the price that person paid to get there.

One thing you should know is that all true success demands a cost, and all great leaders have a story! The price of greatness is the greatness of the price. Leadership comes at a cost and many people aspire to it but unfortunately not all will pay the price to obtain it. If you do, many want to take your position or at least to be your deputies, but they may not know or be willing to pay the price you paid.

If you are the General Overseer of an organization or other top positions others fight to get—many line up to take your place, but they do not know what you went through to get there. They do not know about the hassles you had and the depression you endured along the way. See also, "Two ways you can escape challenges"

They do not know you might have had to sell your belongings or sleep in a car or give your house as to pay for training or supplies. They do not know what it costs you to get through, graduate from school and how much you still pay school bills. No one knows how many hours you had to practice and how many inquiries you suffered.

People get attracted to your position, they want to covet your position without realizing how long it took you and sacrifices you made to get there. Who knows about the discrimination and discouragement you suffered as a woman to get there?

Never follow and live for what a man is not willing to die for. Leaders are known not by medals on their chests but by the scars on their backs.

The question is never about position you hold or to which you aspire; it is about the cost. Are you willing to face the reality of greatness? The secret of greatness—sacrifices.

You stayed hungry, thirsty, you deprived your flesh of having pleasure. No leisure, no vacation, no keeping of much company. You stayed awake all night, retired to bed only to have three or four hours sleep. No rest. Yet you are happy, in spite of the self desire comfort denial, you still focus to get to your designated destination. You are bent at accomplishing your purpose.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
