You've no doubt heard the old saying; “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”. The metaphor of feeding someone and that sufficing to get them through one day, and one day alone shows that people can only be helped so far. If all we do is help people and do things for them all the time, then they rely on us, which is not only unhealthy for their development of skills, it also makes them psychologically weak, confidence deprived, and quite literally puts their very future at risk. 1.

It was October 2013, two years had passed since I had left the family business in Lagos, Nigeria and moved to London, England to start my own oil trading company. My time in the family business, as a director in the telecoms division and upstream oil & gas company was challenging to say the least but engaging and ultimately rewarding. However, I have never felt comfortable with sitting back and getting a golden pass through life. Whilst the easy thing to do was to be a “good boy and good son” and enjoy all the luxuries of being in a family business – I decided that striking it out on my own once again was the best course of action. I’ve always loved the oil & gas business, like many other Nigerians. However, what I love about the business, particularly the exploration and production (upstream) side, was the mixture of strategy, operational capability, technical know-how, politics and business acumen which all had to be married with a gambling spirit and sheer luck to be su...

Do you know any couples whose love you admire? Grandparents or neighbors, colleagues or parents , people whose romantic relationships have endured year after year, inspiring awe for their deep caring, commitment, and joy? Creating a loving and lasting partnership clearly isn't easy. Most people enter marriage fully expecting to share a life together, but in reality, 40-50 percent (link is external) of those marriages are predicted to end in divorce .

The question then is not one of mere stability, but also of quality : How do two people create and maintain a mutually happy relationship? What are the secrets to a successful marriage? Relationship researchers are deeply motivated to identify interpersonal patterns characterizing successful marriages. While plenty of empirical questions still remain, certain ...

Many leaders are competent, but few qualify as remarkable. If you want to join the ranks of the best of the best, make sure you embody all these qualities all the time. It isn't easy, but the rewards can be truly phenomenal.   1. Awareness: There is a difference between management and employees, bosses and workers. Leaders understand the nature of this difference and accept it; it informs their image, their actions, and their communication. They conduct themselves in a way that sets them apart from their employees--not in a manner that suggests they are better than others, but in a way that permits them to retain an objective perspective on everything that's going on in their organization. 2. Decisiveness: All leaders must make tough decisions.  It goes with the job. They understand that in certain situations, difficult and timely decisions must be made in the best interests of the entire organization, decisions that require a firmness, authority, and...

Life can be bittersweet sometimes. There are some days when it seems like every wish or dream is coming true. And then there are some days when the clouds begin to fill in and block the light. It’s on these darker days when your faith is needed most. Focusing on your  faith  every day is essential to keeping it resilient and ready to go.  Here are eight ways to keep your faith strong so it can help you through the tough times. 1.

To change your condition, you m...

Clear thinking depends on the point of view, on one's knowledge, desires and ability--and understanding those desires and motivations. Get started planning, developing and using your  faith in your future . Start now to have good strategies for success in your  personal development --in your studies, work, even play or  relaxation . 1 Have an "Ah Ha" moment.  Make two columns with a list in each column. In column one write your interests and abilities (What are you good at?) In column two make a list of your difficulties and  weaknesses . This can help to clarify your thinking in both areas by comparison and contrast. Hopefully you'll feel good about your strengths and prospects and you will not be confused. 2 Decide some areas of your abilities and things that are  interesting to learn . Define your questions. Ask questions of your teachers, mother, father and other elders, as well as your peers. Read and do research to seek an...
