ONE THING TO NEVER FORGET!!!

Till you draw your very last breath, don't you for one second forget this; don't let it slip into forgetfulness; don't relegate it to the backside of your mind. Keep it in front of your eyes, on your wrist and paste on your forehead. Convince yourself everyday and remind yourself of it.

Getting Heard Audibly; Getting Visible Easily

Good day friend.

First, let me appreciate you for following my blog all these years. You are fantastic!

I want to briefly share my latest insights on visibility and audibility with you and I believe it will make a remarkable impact on your thinking.

Nothing gets bought that is not first seen. Nothing is believed that is not first heard.
                            ~Adeleke David Adekunle

Early in my career as a trainer and management consultant, I thought (unwisely) that I could reach my dreams by sheer intelligence and originality. I did not consider the intense impact of visibility and audibility. In these times when I've been appearing on radio and now going on TV in two days from now, I've enjoyed greater ease and speed. My credibility had soared more than all my combined efforts since 2012!

The lesson: Do all you can to be heard audible and to be seen vividly.

For some, that means engaging advertising, for some it is increasing your social media presence and activity, for others it means getting on the street and meeting the buyers of your dreams. Whatever visibility and audibility means to you, don't just sit out your dreams; do something to be seen and heard. Truth be told, it takes a lot but it is less expensive to not maximizing your potentials.

Folks who used to just think of me as an upcoming guy are regarding me as a serious player in my field just because I am more visible and audible. Friend, be seen and be heard. That's why the ladies who dress in dull colors marry (if ever they do) far later than those babes who dress in brightly colored clothes (pink, white, yellow, lilac etc). There's no profit in staying in oblivion; get heard and be seen. I'm imagining how much better things will get after the TV appearance.

Remember: Nothing gets bought that is not first seen. Nothing is believed that is not first heard.

You are an Icon!

Why You Can't Give In Yet

"To not give up is to not lose hope. To not give in is to not lose ground."~Adeleke David Adekunle

Friend,

Welcome to this month of wonder bundles!

May I just encourage you to keep your dreams alive and never give up! Time will reveal one of two things: Your greatness or Your regret.

Choosing to be tenacious in pursuit of your dreams, regardless of what pessimist and myopic folks say, will bring you greatness. One way to do this is to be effective daily. I don't want to comment on the other side***

To your dreams,

TURBO: achieve your dreams swiftly

Hey! It's a #DoroFantastic Saturday morning for me. I don't know about you. But you better make sure you are the one holding the pen writing your life's experience.

In a bbm chat with a distant cousin this morning, I got this great report about the potency and effectiveness of my Premium Discovery Episode titled, HORSEPOWER. My cousin told me it's helping him and that he listens to it every Saturday morning! What!

It's amazing how the things we seem to despise turn out to be treasures to others. I can count how many times I've listened to that CD as the author; that tells me something inside it needs to tingle my brain to move higher and faster in my pursuit of my dreams.

So what are you waiting for too?

Turbo forward... Ride with HorsePower!

To your effectiveness,

Adeleke David

BRING BACK OUR GIRLS: 234 Girls, 17 days, 1 country.

17 days have passed since the kidnap of 234 teenage girls from their hostel in Government Girls College, Chibok, Borno State in Nigeria. The abduction is reported to have been carried out by suspected Boko Haram insurgents. The missing state of the girls have triggered civil unrest and protests, social media campaigns with the hash tag: #BringBackOurGirls on Twitter, avatar black out by several Nigerian Twitter users including Mr. Leke Alder (@LekeAlder).

If the whereabout of the girls remains a mystery after 17 days, does it make any reason to justify it by the still missing Malaysian Airline? Millions of dollars have been spent on campaigns for the girl child, but this deathly blow to more than a hundred families is a record crime. In a country where a leader exists, 234 girls should never disappear without a hint of where they currently are. The United Nations is mostly laid back about this horrible and saddening situation.

Sahara Reporters wrote 2 days ago: PDP Chieftain Expresses Doubt Chibok School Girls Were Kidnapped, Asks “Who Saw It Happen?” A CNN article reports that, "A total of 230 parents registered the names of their daughters who were missing on the day of the kidnap," said Asabe Kwambura, principal of the Government Girls Secondary School. "From my records, 43 girls have so far escaped on their own from their kidnappers. We still have 187 girls missing."

Whatever will come out of this, the days ahead will reveal. But let me leave it to your imagination what sort of response the Nigerian government would have had if the daughters of national leaders were involved. I bet that the sheer insensitivity of the President and his cabinet wouldn't be so. One is left to wonder whether they actually care about the girls or are simply interested in dramas of the 2015 Presidential elections.

Life is short; live it to the fullest.

God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

STIR NIGERIA: After the Presidential Media Chat

Before you ask me if u have become a political writer or blogger, let me inform you that there are three kinds of people: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.

I have chosen to not be mentioned among the majority who stood for nothing and never embraced the despair of failure in their quest for the joys of victory. If things aren't going right and you keep mute, you're no better than those in support of injustice.

I just had a cup of Lipton, and true to it, I almost drank a sugarless cup of Lipton. The sugar settled beneath like stones at the sea bed. I unconsciously stirred to "play" with the crystals only to realize that they "disappeared" until I found no more. Then it occurred to me that what is not stirred never tastes sweet.

Nigeria, is to me, like a cup of tea. The sugar must be stirred. If measurable changes are to find root in this country, we must stir!

That means that we must displace everything that can be displaced. We must unsettle whoever must be unsettled. We must stir Nigeria!

A cold war it will be, but it is a war worth fighting to the finish. Nothing seems guaranteed but our determination can see us through the hard moments. We should stop thinking we are in times of peace. These are times of war; cold, silent and ruthless war for the heritage of our children and our welfare. War against the greedy minority. War against the facilitators of insurgency. War against western ideas and opinions that turn one against another. War against the madness that has become a norm in a once admirable nation. Take a cue from the Late President John Atta Mills of Ghana, and now President Yoweri Museveni of Uganda. These are African leaders that are stirring their countries, the cold-blooded threats of the west notwithstanding.

If you are a true Nigerian, from your sphere of influence, STIR NIGERIA!

To nation building,

Adeleke David
