EXTRA EFFORT NEEDED.Part 5

I was so much excited about the story of late Chief Obafemi Awolowo of blessed once told by himself.She said:"When i got married,i decided on how to live a life of virtue.And so when i got to England in 1944 and i was there till 1947,women came to me and some of them were single.They asked why i was going to buy things for myself at the grocery,fruits and food stores!When i saw this,i was afraid because i had been married for seven years.I had disciplined myself and stuck to one wife.How can a reasonable man allow ten minutes of enjoyment to destroy seven years of a happy married life? No way!You know many of these girls patronised night clubs in Britain.At one time,my friend invited to accompany him to a nightclub.Knowing the possible consequences,i refused to go!I was a married man and that was it.On that night,the nightclub i declined to go,was raided and lots of people were killed".That was an incredible willpower and selfcontrol and that can only happened when extra mile principle is applied.

EXTRA EFFORT NEEDED.Part 4

It takes only the strong hearted to put in such great efforts or your best effort,and requires going extra mile.But you cannot force people against their wills, and like Andrew Carnegie,steel Magnate:" There's no use in trying to help people who wont help themselves. You cannot push anyone up a ladder unless he or she is first willing to climb it."That is where extra mile principles come in,where you needed to do more, to achieve or nurture right atmosphere for that character building.This requires Art Williams once concluded ,' You beat 50perc. of the people by working hard;you beat the other 40perc.by being a person of honesty;....and the last 10perc.is a dogfight'that is competitive struggle.That is the extramile principle,you need to truly cultivate the means to incorporate Maxwellian Constitution Of Success and hardwork.Once that custom is cultured,your cability to overcome stress,frustration,contemptuos violation of your rights,including the things that challenge your values.You Must be approachable too

carrying a chip on his shoulder is the easiest way to get into trouble,that the quickest way to become unpopular is to carry tales of gossip about others,buckpassing always turns out to be a boomerang,and that it doesnt matter who gets the credit so long as the job gets done.He learns that most others are as ambitious as he is,that they have brains as good or better that hardwork not cleverness is the secret of success. He learns that no one ever gets to first base alone,that it's only through cooperative effort that we move onto better things.He realises in short that the"art of getting along"depends 98perc.on his own behaviour towards others'. I want to believe without extraeffort nurtured in character building,the Maxwellian constitution of success that is hinged on five cardinal principles of sacrifice,selflessness or altruism or humanitarianism,selfcontrol,collectivity and delegation and last hardwork cannot be possible.Your moods albeit occassionalflunctuation,must be consistent with that success points

not seven times but seventy seven times.He had previously thought,he was being generous enough with the seven times'offer of acceptance,a godly extra effort by his own standard,before Jesus,deflated his humanistic ego as trash.Jesus knew the old testament truly well and must have gotten that number from Lamech philosophy and chose it deliberately,to do away with it.To be indeed an evil man,a villain or a hero ,a righteous man,you needed to go extramile.Infact,in everything you do,an extra mile,an extraeffort needed,by all ramification is a neccessity.Dr.John Maxwell writes:'Sooner or later,a man if he is wise,discovers that life is a mixture of good days and bad,victory and defeat,give and take.He learns that it doesn't pay to be a too-sensitive soul,that he should let some things go over his head.He learns that he who looses his temper,usually looses out,that all men occassionally have burnt toast for breakfast,and that he shouldn't take the other fellow's moans too seriously.He learns that carrying a....

EXTRA EFFORT NEEDED-Part one

In the philosophy of life,in general,be it for good or for evil,you needed extra effort to become a righteous man,a hero as well as extra effort,to become an evil minded person or a villain,indicating that it is extra effort that gives you such regonition or identity.In the Bible,there is the story of Lamech,a descendant of Cain,one Of Adam's son.Now,Cain Killed brother Abel,and God instead of killing him,as karma,put a mark on him,saying that if anybody killed Cain,they 'd pay it for it seven times over.Then,one day somebody hurt Lamech and he was annoyed,then killed the offender,and boasted about about it.He said"i have killed a man for wounding me."so that..."if Cain is avenged seven times,then Lamech seventy seven times" Gen.4:23-24. He was justified with evil.When Christ came cleaned the augean stable,and when Peter who had been hurt by one person,with burden in his heart came to Jesus and asked that question;'How many times do i forgive this man;seven times?'With his superior knowledge,told him:not 7 ..
