Bolting all the way ..


It took Usain Bolt 9.63 seconds to capture gold in the men's 100-meter race .What are you doing with your own ten seconds? What Jamaica and the rest of the world is celebrating is a result of an effort that took years of hard practice. Before the under ten minutes London Olympic battle  Bolt started with a vision, turned into an action and now it is a living reality and a mark of success. Thousands are inspired, millions will be transformed and billions will believe .More people will take athletics seriously, they will believe, generations to come will stand up and do the Usein Bolt traditional signature diagonally pointing up into the sky like a superhero.Usain Bolt has fulfilled his dream of becoming a “legend” of the sport by successfully defending his Olympic 100m title in stunning style in London. Bolt was only fifth quickest out of the blocks but was quickly into his running and stormed to victory in 9.63 seconds, the second quickest in history and an Olympic record.
In an interview with the BBC News Bolt had the following inspirational worlds to say:
“I was happy,” he told BBC1. “When I went out in the first round I felt I could do this.
“I was slightly worried about my start, I didn’t want to false start again.
“I think I sat in the blocks a little bit so I don’t think it’s the best reaction in the world but I executed and that was the key.
“My coach said, ’stop worrying about the start, the best part of your race is at the end, that’s where you rule’.
“So I stopped worrying about the start and I executed.”
Asked about the people who had doubted him, Bolt said: “I’m not concerned. I’ve said it from the start, people can talk, all they can do is talk.
“I tell you people that when it comes to the championships it’s all about business to me and I brought it.”
Bolt enjoyed the atmosphere of the Olympic Stadium.
“It was wonderful,” he said. “I knew it was going to be like this. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind that it was going to be loud and it was going to be great and you can feel that energy.
“So I feel extremely good and I’m happy.”
Bolt’s oft-stated hopes of becoming a legend had looked in doubt after he lost twice to Blake at the Jamaican trials and needed treatment on a stiff back which was causing hamstring problems.

From the above conversation ,one is challenged to have self examination on what we do with our time ,on what the last tem minutes we have spent could have meant to the world .Bolt only had a few minutes and he successfully converted them to a world record .Remember that if Bolt did it ,you can also bolt with thunder.Be inspired ,follow your dreams and stay motivated for greatness no matter how many eyes are looking at you .

The influence in a leader

Every song comes from another song, every leader succeeds another, every story end is the beginning of another, every person is from a successfully fertilised sperm and every story repeats and continues another. Likewise success breeds success and so shall the sperm of success when natured, monitored and groomed well it shall produce success. The power of influence can only be useful when put into motion , the same applies with leaders who have influence but don’t direct it towards transforming societies. The power of influence however cannot function without the necessary environment.Influencial leaders are people who are able to create a conducive environment for them to exert that influence, they don’t force people to buy into their vision but their works act as a bait to lure followers. Influence is earned over time, remember that there is always competition for it .In the same fashion only a competitive sperm can result in fertilisation. “We are all cut out from the sam...

Money :Is it the greatest source of motivation?

Some call it cash money, imali, muler  ,some say its the love of it is the root of all evil whilst others say it makes the world go around.The most interesting thing about money is that some of us cannot leve without it and neither can they live with it for to them its a case of "more money more problems" .Over the years,scholars have argued that: "the greatest source of motivation is money.Well we all need money as a means of exchange and to facilitate trade transactions and a store of value .However ,to a greater extent money has failed to motivate many people for  the greatest motivator is a strong, clear and passionate vision. This surpasses the desire for money or any gain whatsoever!Money cannot buy you a vision but a clear vision can get you money.

FEAR ,NO FEAR! Move from a moaners and a groaners to movers and shakers

  Fear kills more people than death .In order to have self motiavation  you need to acknowledge your fears.That you fear something is a first positive step towards setting your mind free for fear is truly and purely a mind game.You can overcome your fears,yes you can all you need is to take the next essential move   of practical action oriented.It is this action step that determines whether we challemge and change the way things are done or we just conform to situations and rot inside us in fear and our dreams are buried inside our hearts.As a  result we cheat the world of an important leadership gift and seed that is in us  .We can overcome our fears by  challenging the way things are done.     Fear can be simple defined as:   F-alse E-vidence A-ppearing R-eal As leaders we become effective when we first deal with our internal fears,for the world out there is built on fear of the unknown whilst success is...
