Laziness: The Killer of Success

How many times have you tried to get something done but failed because you procrastinated? Several you will say. I put it to you that the more you put things off for the future, the more they won't get done. Getting to shift today's responsibility to tomorrow is a signal that you are being lazy.

That's why I have always emphasized a style of "Whatever can be done must be done quickly and now". My sisters used to ask me; "but how?". I will never forget that my response to them comes from one of my grandmother's most loved quotes "a stitch in time saves nine".

You can only achieve what you attempted to do and not what you planned to do. Every plan must be turned into a plausible action that culminates in the achievement of something that was started in our minds.

The most successful of men have been seen to be crazy about timing. One author puts it in a way that got me thinking. I will never forget how it said, most people plan using hours and days whereas the most successful ones in the world plan with minutes. To them, every minute is important and should never be wasted.

So lazying around  without attacking an issue of importance may not show its detrimental part at the moment one is being lackadaisical about responsibilities, it however will be obvious when its time to count the achievements and successes.

Opportunity once lost may never be regained as they say. Even in a case when the opportunity represents itself, if it was judiciously capitalized in the first instance, the second show up should have become an added advantage. What my dad would call cake's icing.

In a bid not to be lazy, I wrote this piece from a simple idea that came to me early this morning and I indeed agreed with myself that anything that must be done must be done immediately, promptly and effectively. It's not just a thought but I have been able to turn a piece of idea in the mind into a plausible action.

Why Scammers Attempt Blog

It has become so hot on the web that I am sometimes afraid of what content to read and which one to neglect. Some authors are hell bent on ensuring their scam articles and mails get the best out of the audience. Hmm, they try so hard that they actually fool unsuspecting targets. Imagine me, a typical "Naija" and “Lagos boy”. Growing and schooling among the toughest in the heart of Lagos should have taught me severally never to believe even the mail from the best of men until I am sure.

Moreover, you can never be sure. Many are times, I nearly fell into the waiting hands of men in black, of the underworld champions who are always online. They are good at what they do, proud about it and are ever ready to convert the slightest opportunity to sales. They must not get wind of it that you are an unsuspecting target, else you will get a mail from them.

Going by the number of mails I get from these online ogres, they must have perceived me a potential prey. One day, I got a mail from one seemingly superb company and took my time to fill up all requirements on the forwarded application form. Thank God for a second look at the verge of submission. It was a fake employment offer aimed at getting me on to a palatable bait wired by con men.

I was offended and determined, "from now on, your mails gets to the public glare". I am ready to stick by it until you stop. If you don’t stop, then you risk getting your mails up on the www.scammersattempt.blogspot.com.ng as a deterrent that would warn others who may be unsuspecting like me.

I do hope that I eventually save at least one soul from the cold hands of the chakazullis.
