Most men that failed did so because of broken focus.

A man must be able to sit down and put in the needed work for himself.

Discipline and laser focus will always come to play in any success story.

[Osaretin Victor Asemota @asemota]

Very, very true. I clocked this at age 7. People never put effort into things that will really make them great; they get distracted by things that won't. At 7, I read a lot about great men and what set them apart. It was three things:

1. Organization - Most great people I know have very organized and focused minds, leaving little room for distractions.

2. Consistency - You really become the greatest by constantly improving on your best. Most great people don't do one thing, get applause, and then go back to mediocrity. They consistently improve. Wahab Sarumi proved this in university. He saved me.

3. Discipline - Most great people need discipline to achieve the two things above. Sometimes what we call “hard work” is just discipline in action. Disciplined people always work hard, but hardworking people are not always disciplined.

Lack of discipline and a lack of delayed gratification are what typically lead to most failures. I have seen people who work hard and still do not improve because, in one area of their life, they try to overcompensate for that effort with overindulgence.

It could be liquor, leisure, or leverage, according to Charlie Munger. The three deadly sins are subtly being advertised to us daily by people who have made fortunes by capitalizing on human weakness.

Very few fortunes are made from “selling human discipline.” People buy things like gym memberships and never follow through. Most fortunes are made by people who sell to “human weakness” and they are also never high on their own supply. The biggest tech billionaires try to get their kids to largely avoid the tech they sell because they know the dangers of their product.

Discipline is all conquering, and the greatest battlefield is the mind. Our temptations change over time. Once, I was a slave to my hormones, but I was making enough money to support the habit.

I later became addicted to crisis, thinking it was hard work. So-called workaholics also lack discipline. It takes a lot of effort to say no at both extremes. I eventually found the middle way, at great cost.

I am great to my family, and that is the most important thing in the world to me.

@asemota I enjoyed your write up, Sir.
In our journey to greatness, discipline is that one ingredient that must be present in the mix; it holds it all together.

The rule for the 6 am hour that changed my career:

Do not check anybody else's demands on your time before 8.

No email. No WhatsApp. No news.

For those two hours, work on the thing you would work on if nobody else existed. That is your actual life. The rest is the world's version of you.

Two hours a day, six days a week, ten years. Nobody who does that stays where they started.

Nigerian businessman Emmanuel Chukwu used his ships to get more than 1,000 Nigerians out during Liberia’s civil war.

He was a rich businessman living in Liberia when the war started in 1989.

As the fighting spread, he reportedly used his own vessels and his own money to pull more than 1,000 stranded Nigerians out of the country.

He also reportedly gave up his new Mercedes-Benz to help free captured Nigerians.

It cost him. His businesses were looted, millions in assets gone, and his younger brother was killed in the war.

He risked his money and his safety for other Nigerians, and still hardly anyone talks about him.

Debunking the Phantom Debts and Ecological Loan Fallacy

My attention has been drawn to trending claims by the Anambra State Government that my administration left behind inherited debts, including a ₦2 billion ecological loan, contractor liabilities, and unpaid salaries, gratuities, and pensions. This is completely false.

We systematically liquidated historical gratuities and arrears dating back several years, amounting to over ₦35 billion. At the point of handover, the state owed nothing in salaries, gratuities, or pensions, nor did we owe anything to any contractor for projects duly executed and certified.

The ₦2 billion ecological fund in question was released barely three months before the end of my tenure for the Oko/Umuchiana erosion crisis. Despite pressure to spend the money, I refused, insisting that it should be left for my successor because government is a continuum and the funds were tied to a specific project.

The money was therefore left 100 per cent intact in First Bank, in Account No. 2018779464, with a balance of over ₦2.13 billion.

It is important to stress that funds tied to specific projects or set aside for particular purposes were not even included in the over ₦75 billion in savings we left behind.

If anybody can establish anything to the contrary, I will stop campaigning. -PO

“Ronaldo is not naturally talented because he can't dribble.”

They expect a 6'2" Ronaldo to dribble like Messi, but they don't expect a 5'7" Messi to jump as high and score like Ronaldo.

Okay next joke 😂
