OK I came across this and thought I should share, you all know how I get when it concerns building people up and making you feel wonderful with yourself and be a better version of you, that said:
Management lessons i learnt from a 500 Naira note.
It happened some time ago but . I was in an audience listening to a motivational speaker. The speaker got out his wallet and pulled out a 500 Naira note. Holding it up, he asked, "Who wants this 500 naira note?"
Lots of hands went up. Including mine. A slow chorus began to build as people began to shout "Me!" "Me!" I began to wonder who the lucky one would be who the speaker would choose. And I also secretly wondered (and I am sure others did too ) why he would simply give away 500 naira. Even as the shouts of "I want it" grew louder, I noticed a young woman running down the aisle. She ran up onto the stage, went up to the speaker, and grabbed the five 500 naira note from his hand. "Well done, young lady," said the speaker into the microphone. The speaker simply say "Most of us just sit and wait for good things to happen. That's of no use. You've got to make things happen. Make a move" 'Simply thinking about doing something is of no use and not gud enough'. Our lives are like that. We all see opportunities around us. We all want the good things. But the problem is we don't take action. We all want the 500 naira notes on offer. But we don't make the move. We look at it longingly. Get up, and do something about it. Don't worry about what other people might think.
Take action.
Take action.
Well that is the first lesson, trust me everybody wants the good life, everyone have that dream you have, everyone have even greater goals than you. What makes you different, what makes you a success, what makes you an achiever? "ACTION
