Modelling

 Want to be a Model ? Follow this law.

Law of Modelling -

" It is hard to improve when you have no but yourself to follow "

" Most people who decide to grow find their mentors in the pages of books " John C Maxwell.

Who you call your model , will definitely have a  great impact in your life. Choose your model very well but if you really want to grow , you must learn to read books.

One sure way to access your mentor' s mind is through the pages of books. Through reading, you can get concrete information that will trigger your growth.

Take for instance, I want to know the mind of Darren Hardy but I could not get access to listen to him speak live by being an audience under his lecture or say message/teaching ??

One realistic way i could get across his message is through reads.

Many years ago i signed up for a mentorship program with Darren anyway.

There are  so many persons worth emulating and just like Jesus Christ, there are many other higher beings here who are properly guiding us to find our path.

People like Ben Carson ( Medicine ), Nelson Mandela ( Leadership ) , Queen Elizabeth ( Royalty), Okonjo iweala (Finance ),  Larry Page ( Google ),  Bill gate ( Microsoft ),  Michael Dell (computers and accessories ),  Barrack Obama ( Black Distinction ) , Wendy Okolo (NASA), Chimamanda (Literature), Chinua Achebe (Literature ), Wole Soyinka (Literature ) Ndibuisi Ekekwe ( Tech),  Dangote ( Business), Austine Duru (Tech), Tony Elumelu ( Finance,  banking, funding Sme's ), Mark Zuckerberg ( Facebook) ,  et cetera et cetera...the list goes on and on.

These persons have brought Change in their niche and their very l little way and contributed  greatly to the world.

I must tell you , it will be a very big error to make a single person your brand. Yes, I said so. I do personally advice people to always extract the positive part of their mentor. If you noticed anything that does not align with your motive, discard it.

Instead make good books your brand, as it will you get more and more information that you need to stand firm.

Notwithstanding , learn from the best options. Choose your model and intentionally.

Pay attention to yourself and how you can grow yourself.

" As i grow older , i pay less attention to what men say. I just watch what they do "
-Andre Carnegie

"To know the road ahead, ask those coming back "- Chinese Proverb.

In essence, if you want to thread a path, always hesitate to ask people who are more experienced than you for guidance. In that sense, you will hardly slip your foot or strike against  rock.
