This is why we have designed a grass-root oriented Anti-Corruption Capacity Building Campaign targeting students of Secondary Schools. And we are extremely grateful to the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) under the Project on Support to Anticorruption in Nigeria which is fully funded by the European Union for partnering  with our nationwide campaign against retail and petty corruption- NOT IN MY COUNTRY”

According to one of the speakers and Premium Times reporter, Mr. Ogundipe, who spoke on the theme: “How to Identify Corrupt Practices,’ shared his experience with the youth on how he has never allowed monetary or pecuniary gains to obstruct his line of duty as a journalist who must consistently work within the ethical standards of decency as a watchdog of the society.

Other speakers at the Capacity Building include popular Nollywood Actor, Jude Orhorha and Project Coordinator, Speakers’ Corner Trust Nigeria, Marylyn Iya Ogbebor, both of whom spoke on “You Can Succeed Without Cutting Corners” and “Excelling in Examinations Without Malpractices” respectively.  Their lectures received massive accolades from Students and Teachers who graced the training.

Parenting Today's Chidren

Inside every man is a king and a fool / pay attention to our children spend quality time / give time, don’t buy them toys take them out/ spent time with them / involve with them/ love them genuinely / listen to them intangible investment / deliberately teach our children give then a legacy to read / investment is a key to achievement / make every sacrifice possible to ensure our children succeed

Value system (the foundation)

The “background” when constructing a building, the layout plan and the  foundation must be physically powerful   by so doing the main construction will be able to withstand any structure that will be mounted on the groundwork. while growing up I was opportune to have the best and quality education in an environment where future leaders are groomed  my parents were not that rich but we were comfortable, the people I grew up with i.e. friends both at home and in school had what is called discipline, respect for adult, sense of doing thing right, if any of us kids is trying to go the other way round, before you know it one of the kids is reporting to the nearest adult or available person in charge so every kids is always at his or her best, we all have etiquette,  (good manners) even the adult around us have some sense of dignity, people obey traffic rules  so every one know what is right and what is wrong. There is value for life. I believe then each and every home then was trying to protect their names and Family Value. No child does anything just by him or herself, There is a bite of cheek and balance my mum! She is a no nonsense personality as the only boy child in the house, full of energy, vibrant and ready to jump, she (my Mum) did not give me any room to be free, yet as a child I was  stubborn and always in one trouble or the other, what did my mummy do? She had to channel all that energy in me into some useful venture by making me busy at all times

 She makes me to do all the  laundry in the house, cook for my sisters, she teaches me on how to direct my sister to be useful to themselves and in the house, I am not saying my mum is perfect but she is an instructor when it comes to her children upbringing

So parents have a lot to do when its come to effective parenting, having a good sense of value will make a child grow up in the right direction.                

Believe system

Religion is another vital value that is needed to prepare a child for the future Christianity and Islam are the most accepted religion around the world today, whichever one you chose to believe in, research shows that the manuscript the followers of these two religions used talks more about morals and value for life, so parents should take it as point of duty to put their children through the religious values and what the scriptures say about being a good child. The family is an arrangement by God in which children can be lovingly guided towards responsible adulthood, at home children and disciplined thought social etiquette, consequence of good and bad behavioral pattern

Support system 

Some of us are just fortunate to have whatever we want at our disposal Finance, yes finance, some parent are well to do, so they get their kids everything they need, the best in education, fun time during the holidays, feeding, clothing and accommodation are all well and sufficient for the child

However it is not so for other children, in the street, ghettos and  slums in the 70s we have the middle class that is, not poor,  nor rich but comfortable on the average, the children of this class can compete very well and even do better than the rich kids at school, class work, sports and in other life endeavor.

In Today’s world, it is either you are rich or poor, no matter the class we find ourselves let us try to give our children the best in morals, good value for life and education, these are like setting up a deep foundation that will be strong enough to support the child for any circumstance he or she may find him or herself in future.

Sex

a higher percentage of parents believe sex is something only for the adult to discus, but you know what, we just have to talk about it with our children especially the girl child, the boys need to be talked too, but the girl child need to know more about sex early in life, if you do not talk about sex with a girl child one way or the other she will get the information, she may got it form the wrong source or persons. Children are at greater risk of abuse, children are vulnerable are easily become target so parent must educate their children on how to prevent sexual assaults. Some children ask questions about the new development in their body system, the puberty stage e.g

 Menstrual circle,   pubic hair, Brest development into bobs and other development in his or her body, why? Because the child did not know why the body is reacting that way

How to carry themselves in the midst of men

The boy child needs to know why his body is reacting when he is in the midst of girls and when ever his body is reacting, what will he do to control himself    

My religion makes me to see the female personality as special, to be cared for, to be honored and to be loved    (my Mum, my sister and later my wife) I can recall my Mum teaching my sisters how to sit like a lady when in public and she always talk to me on how to behave with my sisters, though I am their senior brother, nevertheless, they are all ladies 

The teenage boy versus the teenage girl

 The teenage child is now a young adult he or she is vibrant full of energy; believing he has arrived. They are assets, useful around the home, intelligent in school, active in the sport world, Music and other youthful inelegance     

Time

Quality time is spent when the parent is there when the child find out that he or she need some answer to critical questions about life, an experience hand is needed to come to the child’s rescue   

Questions like why is my body developing?

Why is blood coming out of my private part? What do I do?

I do not know who to marry out of mark and may

Why am I having these mussels? 

The closest person to the child should be the parent, at this junction the parent must be forthcoming I mean make themselves approaching to the child so that he or she will find it easy to discuses certain issues with the parent. 

During the teenage life the best friend of a boy child should be the father or an uncle, the same goes for the girl child, the Mum should bring herself down to the level where both female have girls talk   

Dressing  

The way you dress is the way you will be addressed, the way a child dressed up at home, for sch0ool, to other children party or dress to go out, tells the kind of home he or she came from, rapist do not just rape, he was instigated

The girl child should be thought how to dress well and learn how to seat like a lady, some ladies dress to attract while some dress to kill which ever way you dressed, you are making a statement.  

do you know that all parts of the woman body is sexy, today women find it interesting to exposed or flaunt their sexy part of their body, so there is a lot of sex in the city

I am not at the top yet, but   I LOVE WHAT AM DOING NOW and I am going to move to the next level this 2015 HAPPY NEW YEAR

          

Why Self-Discipline?

Self-discipline is the ability to get yourself to take action regardless of your emotional state.

Imagine what you could accomplish if you could simply get yourself to follow through on your best intentions no matter what. Picture yourself saying to your body, “You’re overweight. Lose 20 pounds.” Without self-discipline that intention won’t become manifest. But with sufficient self-discipline, it’s a done deal. The pinnacle of self-discipline is when you reach the point that when you make a conscious decision, it’s virtually guaranteed you’ll follow through on it.

Self-discipline is one of many personal development tools available to you. Of course it is not a panacea. Nevertheless, the problems which self-discipline can solve are important, and while there are other ways to solve these problems, self-discipline absolutely shreds them. Self-discipline can empower you to overcome any addiction or lose any amount of weight. It can wipe out procrastination, disorder, and ignorance. Within the domain of problems it can solve, self-discipline is simply unmatched. Moreover, it becomes a powerful teammate when combined with other tools like passion, goal-setting, and planning.

Building Self-Discipline

My philosophy of how to build self-discipline is best explained by an analogy. Self-discipline is like a muscle. The more you train it, the stronger you become. The less you train it, the weaker you become.

Just as everyone has different muscular strength, we all possess different levels of self-discipline. Everyone has some — if you can hold your breath a few seconds, you have some self-discipline. But not everyone has developed their discipline to the same degree.

Just as it takes muscle to build muscle, it takes self-discipline to build self-discipline.

The way to build self-discipline is analogous to using progressive weight training to build muscle. This means lifting weights that are close to your limit. Note that when you weight train, you lift weights that are within your ability to lift. You push your muscles until they fail, and then you rest.

Similarly, the basic method to build self-discipline is to tackle challenges that you can successfully accomplish but which are near your limit. This doesn’t mean trying something and failing at it every day, nor does it mean staying within your comfort zone. You will gain no strength trying to lift a weight that you cannot budge, nor will you gain strength lifting weights that are too light for you. You must start with weights/challenges that are within your current ability to lift but which are near your limit.

Progressive training means that once you succeed, you increase the challenge. If you keep working out with the same weights, you won’t get any stronger. Similarly, if you fail to challenge yourself in life, you won’t gain any more self-discipline.

Just as most people have very weak muscles compared to how strong they could become with training, most people are very weak in their level of self-discipline.

It’s a mistake to try to push yourself too hard when trying to build self-discipline. If you try to transform your entire life overnight by setting dozens of new goals for yourself and expecting yourself to follow through consistently starting the very next day, you’re almost certain to fail. This is like a person going to the gym for the first time ever and packing 300 pounds on the bench press. You will only look silly.

If you can only lift 10 lbs, you can only lift 10 lbs. There’s no shame in starting where you are. I recall when I began working with a personal trainer several years ago, on my first attempt at doing a barbell shoulder press, I could only lift a 7-lb bar with no weight on it. My shoulders were very weak because I’d never trained them. But within a few months I was up to 60 lbs.

Similarly, if you’re very undisciplined right now, you can still use what little discipline you have to build more. The more disciplined you become, the easier life gets. Challenges that were once impossible for you will eventually seem like child’s play. As you get stronger, the same weights will seem lighter and lighter.

Don’t compare yourself to other people. It won’t help. You’ll only find what you expect to find. If you think you’re weak, everyone else will seem stronger. If you think you’re strong, everyone else will seem weaker. There’s no point in doing this. Simply look at where you are now, and aim to get better as you go forward.

Let’s consider an example.

Suppose you want to develop the ability to do 8 solid hours of work each day, since you know it will make a real difference in your career. I was listening to an audio program this morning that quoted a study saying the average office worker spends 37% of their time in idle socializing, not to mention other vices that chew up more than 50% of work time with unproductive non-work. So there’s plenty of room for improvement.

Perhaps you try to work a solid 8-hour day without succumbing to distractions, and you can only do it once. The next day you fail utterly. That’s OK. You did one rep of 8 hours. Two is too much for you. So cut back a bit. What duration would allow you to successfully do 5 reps (i.e. a whole week)? Could you work with concentration for one hour a day, five days in a row? If you can’t do that, cut back to 30 minutes or whatever you can do. If you succeed (or if you feel that would be too easy), then increase the challenge (i.e. the resistance).

Once you’ve mastered a week at one level, take it up a notch the next week. And continue with this progressive training until you’ve reached your goal.

While analogies like this are never perfect, I’ve gotten a lot of mileage out of this one. By raising the bar just a little each week, you stay within your capabilities and grow stronger over time. But when doing weight training, the actual work you do doesn’t mean anything. There’s no intrinsic benefit in lifting a weight up and down — the benefit comes from the muscle growth. However, when building self-discipline, you also get the benefit of the work you’ve done along the way, so that’s even better. It’s great when your training produces something of value AND makes you stronger.

The Power of Positive Difference

A major challenge for young and brilliant professionals is learning to create their ability to influence.  Way too often talented graduates seek influence by demonstrating their knowledge, proving they are right and demanding credit for their smarts.  After all, they spent many years developing their expertise in the hopes that they will be able to make a significant impact on the organization and will be promptly rewarded for it.  However, most organizations don’t provide the right environment for this type of behavior.

Organizations need top performers as they can be a huge force in solving problems, growing the business and reducing cost of operations.  Unfortunately, these high performers engage such opportunities with the mindset that the reward for such accomplishments should be theirs.  While this may seem like a fair assessment, one must realize that employees are hired to help build the organization and provide reward to the stockholders, not solely for themselves.

After numerous attempts to be seen for their expertise, high performers can become discouraged and even demotivated.  Gaining success in their career becomes more challenging as their attitude becomes evident to those around them.  Despite what you can do, a negative attitude is always seen as a bad personal characteristic.  No one cares how it was developed, whether they were treated unfairly or if their efforts constantly went unrewarded.  A bad attitude is still bad.

In an interview with Marshall Goldsmith, I was reminded of the power of a positive attitude.  Marshall shared his thoughts from a recent experience.

“The greatest leaders I’ve ever met are always up, always positive, always focused on the mission and always focused on service.  I had the privilege of having dinner two weeks ago with Alan Mulally, who just won the CEO of the year in the United States.  Alan went into Ford during some very adverse conditions where he did a spectacular job of leading a turnaround.  Instead of becoming down and depressed, he was always focused on service and how to make a positive difference.  He wasn’t focused on whining or himself, he was always focused on what he could do to help others. “

The power to make a positive difference begins with a positive attitude.  Unfortunately, there are many obstacles to sustaining a healthy positive attitude.  The fastest way to overcome these obstacles is to:

1. accept that they exist
2. recognize them,
3. refuse to respond negatively to them, and
4. quickly work around them.

Some of the more common obstacles to your development of a positive attitude and your growth towards making a positive difference are listed below.  Throughout your career, you will encounter many things that will attempt to derail you or slow you down.  It is rare that you will find yourself in a corporate environment that makes personal growth, learning and your career development a priority.  Remember, making money comes first.  Now to that list of obstacles.

• Money comes first – This is what companies want.  If you can help them get more, you’ll be better off.
• Bad managers exist – You’ll find managers who only have their interest at heart and will do just about anything to limit their competition.  You may be smarter, but they’re the boss.
• Companies don’t develop talent – It is unlikely that you’ll find many companies that will hold your hand and guide you to the top.  Besides, most of the people at the top want to stay there.
• Competition will be fierce – With unemployment so high, more people will be seeking greater qualifications and skills.  Then, they’ll be chasing higher level positions too.
• Advanced degrees are entrance tickets – Great knowledge is only a ticket to the game.  It offers no guarantee of anything.  You must use it to accomplish great things for the company and others.

Once you’ve found positive attitude, you can move on to making a positive difference.  High performers have great skill, knowledge and ability.  It is their responsibility to utilize these things to make the world around them a better place.  For example, if I made everyone around me into millionaires, I wouldn’t need to be one.  The positive impact I would have on others would be reciprocated to me in times of need.  Positive difference is creating positive change no matter what the situation or circumstances may be.  It is proactive.  It is deliberate.  It is also difficult and challenging and it will challenge you all throughout your career.  But high performers who’ve found their way aren’t intimidated as they have learned that positive difference will lead them to the achievement of their goals and dreams.

Many thanks to Marshall Goldsmith for sharing his expertise in our recent interview.  You can read more from Marshall in our upcoming eBook series for MBAs.  Stay tuned for their release.
