Book excerpt: This book is written to demonstrate to you that you are gifted enough to birth your greatness, if you can use the power of your mind to interpret the predicaments, pains, shortcomings, rejections, disappointments and travails that are making life looks to you as an adventure that is not worth exploring; making you feel discouraged to fight the battles of your life; make you feel inferior, concedes to failures and defeats and be entertaining the belief that you are not qualified to win the top prize in life, which thereby makes the space you ought to have occupied in life to be vacant.We used the English alphabets with names of prominent individuals - mostly Nigerians - who have made marks in their path, to show how you can use your "Mind" to envision your dream; to activate your cause, instinct, originality and uniqueness to take "Action" and create, endure, focus, grow, involve, leverage, risk and network in the pursuit of your ambition, in order for you to achieve your goals; and gain balance in "Life," access opportunities and treasures to flourish in your cause, become victorious in your callings and see you rises to the zenith of what you have chosen to live for, the path you have chosen to tread.In this book, you will discover that no successful story is the same. Though, some might look similar. You will learn that out of unflinching drive and unquenchable thirst, some people have designed their successes. Out of the zeal to pursue their ambition, some people have used their talents to navigate in their quest to meeting the time on their own terms. And out of relentless strive to stretch beyond their limits; some people have caused the fruits of their destiny to yield. Behold is the Path to Your Greatness!

Download or read book Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned written by Kenneth O. Stanley and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-05-05 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Why does modern life revolve around objectives? From how science is funded, to improving how children are educated -- and nearly everything in-between -- our society has become obsessed with a seductive illusion: that greatness results from doggedly measuring improvement in the relentless pursuit of an ambitious goal. In Why Greatness Cannot Be Planned, Stanley and Lehman begin with a surprising scientific discovery in artificial intelligence that leads ultimately to the conclusion that the objective obsession has gone too far. They make the case that great achievement can't be bottled up into mechanical metrics; that innovation is not driven by narrowly focused heroic effort; and that we would be wiser (and the outcomes better) if instead we whole-heartedly embraced serendipitous discovery and playful creativity. Controversial at its heart, yet refreshingly provocative, this book challenges readers to consider life without a destination and discovery without a compass.

Download or read book Primary Greatness written by Stephen R. Covey and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2015-11-24 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From Stephen R. Covey—the late, legendary author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People—a set of principles for achieving a happy and fulfilling life of primary greatness. Many of us are hurting. We have chronic problems, dissatisfactions, and disappointments. Although we generally make it through the day, a lot of us feel overwhelmed by burdens we carry. We try to “lift the load of life” each day and sometimes it’s just too much. The idea of living a “great life” seems a distant dream. Stephen R. Covey believed there were only two ways to experience life: primary greatness or secondary greatness. Through his books and speaking, he taught that the intrinsic rewards of primary greatness—integrity, responsibility, and contribution—far outweighed the extrinsic rewards of secondary greatness—money, popularity, and the self-absorbed, pleasure-ridden life that some people consider “success.” In this posthumous work, Covey lays out clearly the 12 levers of success that will lead to a life of primary greatness: Integrity, Contribution, Priority, Sacrifice, Service, Responsibility, Loyalty, Reciprocity, Diversity, Learning, Teaching, and Renewal. For the first time, Covey defines each of these 12 qualities and how they can be leveraged and enacted in your daily life to lead you to success and happiness. Featuring his trademarked wisdom that is beloved and has inspired countless readers and leaders, Primary Greatness once again delivers classic Covey advice in a concise and reader-friendly way.

Download or read book The Resurrection Plant Your Pain Is Your Path To Greatness written by C. J. Ricard and published by Author Academy Elite. This book was released on 2021-08-17 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If, like Carlos Ricard, your past is riddled with trauma, you may have learned to tough it out and to pretend you have it all together. Meanwhile, you're hiding the mental and emotional mess inside, and your life is more controlled by fear than anyone knows. That's a lonely place, and what's worse, it's a place where you can't access your potential for growth and change. Instead, you keep tripping yourself up, leading to failure, heartache, and hitting bottom over and over again. It's easy to believe you're stuck where you are, that you're doomed to this life. But Ricard's bracing and inspiring story proves it's not true. What if your ticket to freedom were found within the very walls that imprison you? What if hidden within the experiences that plague you lies the cure to save you? Would you risk the chance of dying many more deaths to earn the right to live the life you were meant for? The Resurrection Plant tells of one man's mission to see clearly the truth about his troubled past and to reach the source of his self-destructive behaviors. Ricard began life as a homeless immigrant, spent time on the streets gangbanging, and wound up in prison. Though the streets, his schools, his workplaces, and sometimes his own family told him he was worthless, he held to a belief that he deserved better. After dying many deaths, he fought his way from the hood to the woods, from the ghetto to greatness.

Download or read book Good to Great written by Jim Collins and published by Harper Collins. This book was released on 2001-10-16 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Challenge Built to Last, the defining management study of the nineties, showed how great companies triumph over time and how long-term sustained performance can be engineered into the DNA of an enterprise from the verybeginning. But what about the company that is not born with great DNA? How can good companies, mediocre companies, even bad companies achieve enduring greatness? The Study For years, this question preyed on the mind of Jim Collins. Are there companies that defy gravity and convert long-term mediocrity or worse into long-term superiority? And if so, what are the universal distinguishing characteristics that cause a company to go from good to great? The Standards Using tough benchmarks, Collins and his research team identified a set of elite companies that made the leap to great results and sustained those results for at least fifteen years. How great? After the leap, the good-to-great companies generated cumulative stock returns that beat the general stock market by an average of seven times in fifteen years, better than twice the results delivered by a composite index of the world's greatest companies, including Coca-Cola, Intel, General Electric, and Merck. The Comparisons The research team contrasted the good-to-great companies with a carefully selected set of comparison companies that failed to make the leap from good to great. What was different? Why did one set of companies become truly great performers while the other set remained only good? Over five years, the team analyzed the histories of all twenty-eight companies in the study. After sifting through mountains of data and thousands of pages of interviews, Collins and his crew discovered the key determinants of greatness -- why some companies make the leap and others don't. The Findings The findings of the Good to Great study will surprise many readers and shed light on virtually every area of management strategy and practice. The findings include: Level 5 Leaders: The research team was shocked to discover the type of leadership required to achieve greatness. The Hedgehog Concept (Simplicity within the Three Circles): To go from good to great requires transcending the curse of competence. A Culture of Discipline: When you combine a culture of discipline with an ethic of entrepreneurship, you get the magical alchemy of great results. Technology Accelerators: Good-to-great companies think differently about the role of technology. The Flywheel and the Doom Loop: Those who launch radical change programs and wrenching restructurings will almost certainly fail to make the leap. “Some of the key concepts discerned in the study,” comments Jim Collins, "fly in the face of our modern business culture and will, quite frankly, upset some people.” Perhaps, but who can afford to ignore these findings?
