*30 SELF DEVELOPMENT TIPS FOR 2021*

1. Make friends with successful people and occasionally buy them gift and surprise them with lunch because successful people always give and hardly get, so when you give them, they value the gift a lot.

2. Get a mentor and follow his instructions and respect the relationship. Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy.

3. Make new positive friends as often as possible and ensure you keep the communication line open. Create a network of friends and not just connections.

5. Show kindness to everyone. Some small boys today will be big boys tomorrow. The biggest dog in the neighborhood was once a puppy. And keep the information/secret to yourself.

6. Always plan ahead and be proactive. He that plans the future work less in the future.

7. Listen to speeches and messages from great teachers. Both religious and educational.

8. Attend seminars and training on any area you need to improve yourself. Train the trainer, personal development, public speaking, sales etc.

9. Have the habit of keeping a pen and a writing pad handy because ideas come in the form of flashes. The smallest pen is bigger and better than the biggest brain.

10. Make sure at every point in time you are reading a book. If you spend 20 minutes reading daily, for 52 weeks you would have consumed 1,000,000 words.

11.Stay away from television as much as possible. You can watch educational channels. Men with big TV sit in front of them to watch men with big library.

12 Put control over your mouth, never say evil of any man, what you are not certain of should not be said. Say good of all men.

13. Always show appreciation for any good deed you received.

14. Always help someone in need.

15. Live a debt free life. What you can’t pay cash for is not your size.

16. Give out loans that you can part with as gift, so that you don’t destroy your business and relationship.

17. Create legitimate multiple source of income.

18. Save at least 10 percent of your income.

19. Invest a portion of your income. And be patient to see it grow. If what you have in your hands is not good to be called a harvest then it’s a seed, sow it.

20. Keep a good financial record of all income and expenses, so you won’t ask later “where did my money go”

21. Be involved in community service. Control traffic, free lesson class for students etc.

22. Keep getting better on your daily goals and dream, develop yourself on them and make sure you get to the top 10 % of your industry.

23. Make sure you engage in exercise. It keeps your brain alert and your body fit to enjoy your success.

24. Pray often, and know that for every success,God made it possible.

25. Develop a fighting spirit. Many give up at the least opposition. But opposition is mostly a sign of greater things ahead. Keep fighting.

26. Face your fears. One of the greatest tools the enemy employs to cripple people is fear.  Fear is False Evidence Appearing Real. The cave you fear to enter may hold the treasure you seek.

27. Doubt your doubt. Doubting is the enemy of the best. The people who do great exploits  are calculated risk-takers.

28. Be Kingdom minded. Find a need in the house of God and meet it. When you make Gods business your business, He will make your busines his business.

29. Spend time with your family. Aside your relationship with God, spending time with your family should be your topmost priority. Don't miss out on the growth maze of your children because of a career or ministry. 

30. Finally get enough rest. Create some more time to rest. If you die your company will find a replacement. Make sure you don't develop a "Superman Syndrome". Give of your best but don't die trying to save the world. Make time to rest. You are not a robot. Even God rested after creation.

Wishing you the very best of 2021.

One day a Colonel Sa'ab from the Army, fell into a well. The soldiers would throw a rope into the well and pull the Colonel Sa'ab out. The moment the Colonel would come up, the soldiers would leave the rope snap to attention and salute. The Colonel Sa'ab would fall back into the well. This happened many times.

He immediately left the rope and saluted. And he fell back once more, into the well. 

There was total silence. Then everyone heard the desperate Colonel Sa'ab's voice from down below
