Over 1000 jobs to be lost in one day! | Fola Daniel Adelesi

By 5PM, on 31st of January 2012, just about 48 hours from the time I decided to write this article, over 1000 people in one of the nations commercial banks would have lost their jobs! Some of them are mothers who have children that need to go to school and others are fathers who have a family to take care off. A few of them are single men and women who are looking forward to starting a home by the time they are able to raise enough money to do. Unfortunately, when they wake up on first of February 2012, some will wake up to a renewed desperation for survival. Handkerchiefs will not be enough to soak the tears of the day and we might be seeing a mixed feeling of anger and hopeless.

The fate of these people was decided just last week following the acquisition of the bank by another bank with a stronger capital base. The bank that has now acquired another banks thinks there are too many staff to deal with and they need to cut down in every area, especially human resources. The next thing we should expect is that recruiting firms will be bombarded with resumes too numerous for even government agencies to absorb.

I feel for these people and I also think that this event will break and make some people. I want to presume that there are some of them who have been planning to start some kind of business before now. I guess they will take the bold step now that their jobs are gone!

In all of these I want to ask a few questions in order to help us think!

1.When you take up a new job, do you create an exit strategy?

2.Do you have an investment plan such that if you are fired unexpectedly you will have something to fall back on?

3.What other skills do you have for which you can be paid if you lose your current job?

4.Can you even fit into any other organization because some people get some jobs by virtue of their family members in positions and they never bother about skill acquisition!

5.Do you remember that the job you have been given is not in your fathers company and can never be transferred to you? It will only be transferred to the children of the people that you work for! If you are not careful, you will serve the parents long enough till their children are ready to take over and you will still be serving their children!

6.My last question for now is when are you going to build businesses that you can transfer to your children?

We cannot afford to face life in one direction because life is multifaceted and it has several surprises for at different points. Are you truly ready for life!

If you have just been fired and you are reading this, get up again but this time, I suggest you think about a business you can do and also be an employer of labour. I should expect that you can get angry enough to start a business and probably be able to hire the children of those who are firing you today!

If your strategist is the Holy Spirit | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

If your strategist is the Holy Spirit | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

The reason I look smart is because I have a greater force working behind the scene and making things happen for me! I remember the Bible saying that you will hear a voice saying to you this is the way, walk in it. The Holy Spirit has better business strategies that you can work with to outsmart any business competition with little or no effort only if you understand and relate with Him.

It’s so amazing to know that there is hardly anything you want to do that the Holy Spirit cannot help you with! You may choose not to ask His help when you are starting out but somewhere along the line you just realize that you are stuck even though it would have been a lot easier if you sought his help from the beginning!

Life is going to be very hard, miserable and confusing but that’s strictly for those who do not have the Spirit of God that knows the mind of God who knows the mind of everyone! When you want to do business and you allow the Holy Spirit to strategize with you or for you in the business, there is no way you can fail because it is impossible for the Holy Spirit to fail. I once heard the story of John D. Rockefeller whose conglomerate was supposed to insure the Titanic ship. As a Christian, he hesitated for a while and consulted God about the deal. He was told not to insure the ship so he backed out of the deal which appeared so promising. When the ship sank on the sea, it was said that the insurance deal which appeared very promising would have ruined his entire business!

You can hear one instruction and the application of that instruction will be a multinational company. One instruction can double your turnover and refusing the instruction can also erase your company name from the list of viable companies. To operate in this realm we must sincerely admit that our intellects are not good enough to operate at the level that God would want us to operate. He’s always got a better idea coupled with the fact that He knows the end from the beginning in whatever needs to be done!

When you have an idea you begin to hope it works out well but when it is from the Holy Spirit and he’s involved in all the execution or implementation then you are not talking about trial and error! You just know what to do and knowing what to do places you on better platforms!
People may not know the next thing to do in a situation or see a business opportunity ahead but when you have the Holy Spirit as your master strategist you can’t possibly be in the dark about what to do next. He can give you an idea and the next day it will turn out to be an idea that the entire nation needs! The implication is that the nation will come running after you since you can produce what they need. You don’t have to struggle to get customers because you just need to remember that God has the hearts of Kings in His hands and can turn it to wherever he wants. I, in my business and a number of other things, just rely on letting the Holy Spirit turn the hearts of people towards the gifts He has placed in my hands! It works like magic!

I don’t know who your strategist is but before you reach a dead end, turn to the Holy Spirit for help and you will never be disappointed.

If you have no relationship with Jesus it just will not make any sense asking for Holy Spirit’s help. Acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and Saviour right now. Ask him to come into your life and take charge. Tell him you will let him dictate the pace of your life from now on then tell him to send you the Holy Spirit as He promised. Believe me, when the Holy Spirit comes and you consult him, your work life will become unique!

Holy Spirit in your work place | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

I don’t know how smart your boss is but I know your boss is not as smart as the Holy Spirit! This has come to my mind in order to call the attention of a number of people who seem to be dealing with difficult bosses to this all important issue of relating with the Holy Spirit.
So many people want to perform in their places of work but they just keep meeting the brick walls strategically placed there by their ‘difficult bosses.’ You may know that you are very good at what you do but you just keep getting complaints or condemnation no matter how hard you try. There is little or no mention of what you are doing correctly but when you do something wrong there’s a lot noise! What you have done correctly may outweigh the things you have not done correctly but you don’t just get any reward for doing things right.
For some people, it’s so bad that they just can’t look up to their bosses in anyway. All the motivation they have is gone and they are thinking about quitting. The moment you also start thinking about quitting you then remember that there are doezens of people on the street who do not have a job and there’s no way you can meet your needs without the job. For the fear of being jobless, you often decide to stay on the job and keep tolerating the intellectual intimidation or harassment of your boss.
All I need to say is that you’ve had enough of the intimidation from your boss. Do you ever ask the Holy Spirit to help you when you set of for work? Have you ever thought about the fact you need the Holy Spirit more than you ever struggle to please your boss? In the bid to please your boss you lose your sleep or lose your peace because you have all done your very best and it’s still not appreciated! When you keep working on doing your best, you are simply struggling at a human capacity level!
Step up your game and be ahead of your boss by asking the Holy Spirit for help. You and I know that when you do what God tells you to do, no one can fault you! When anyone tries it, the person is looking for trouble! Stop struggling to please whoever it is that you work for and get help from the ultimate source of wisdom who can make brainees out of dummies!

If you have no relationship with Jesus it just will not make any sense asking for Holy Spirit’s help. Acknowledge Jesus as your Lord and Saviour right now. Ask him to come into your life and take charge. Tell him you will let him dictate the pace of your life from now on then tell him to send you the Holy Spirit as He promised. Believe me, when the Holy Spirit comes and you consult him, your work life will become unique!

Harmony of the mind and hands! | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

Never lay your hands on the things that your mind has not approved! Never mind the things that your hands also detest! I think that one of the best counsels anyone can get is to make sure that what you are doing has some kind of co-ordination between the mind and the hands.

The reason it is important for you to ensure the harmony or the co-ordination between the mind and the hands before you do anything is that it is easy for you to start something but you will be drained of all mental and emotional energy if your mind is not in it. When you also start something that your hands are not willing to do, it will only be a matter of time before your lazy hands or unwilling hands in that regard begin to send some clear signals to your mind.

This is a time when you should never drain yourself. If you have to do anything you should be sure it is not what you are going to complain about. The author of the book, Gifted Hands, Dr. Ben Carson talked about the big breaks in medicine and how he had successfully separated some twins in company of other doctors. In the stories that he has written about these successful surgeries, one of the things I can pick as a pointer to success is the harmony or co-ordination between the mind and the hands. There were a number of times in the surgery room, according to his account, that he used more of his mind to do the job and his hands just followed the mind!

I know someone will say but you are always expected to use your mind! What else would he have used if not the mind? As much as that sounds very true I can say that we sometimes do not know that we are working against ourselves when we do not really have the desire to do something but our hands are on those things just because they are things we must do.

There are times you will set out to do something and you will just notice that you seem to be doing a lot but nothing seems to be making sense at all and nothing seems to be working in the situation that you have found yourself in. I think these is because you have a disconnect between the mind and the hands. We can go on and on in talking about setting goals and writing plans and ensuring a productive use of your time. If you do not know about the proper co-ordination between your mind and your hands on the things you have to do, you may be wasting more time than you can imagine.

One of the ways you can ensure that theres a proper co-ordination between your mind and your hands is to sometimes spend a lot of time thinking through a situation. When you spend a lot of time thinking through it, signals would have been sent to other parts of your body and by the time you set out to do that thing, all the part of your body agree with the signals from the mind. Another way round is to have your hands consistently work on something such that at a point your mind can easily accept any message on it when signals go back to your mind. When you think through situations and also practice some things a lot of times, you will end up in a situation where you can easily co-ordinate activities between your mind and your hands.

Start the co-ordination today and make your time count more than ever before to have a productive life!

Expand your mind! | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

I have come to believe that one of the ways to succeed in life is to allow your mind function in a different capacity than it has functioned in the past. If your mind continues to function the way it has always functioned then you should not expect a different result in your life.

Some people just need to see things differently this time for them to succeed but they will not see anything differently if they do not use their minds more than they have used it before. I believe there are some people out there who really do not need to put in any extra physical effort for them to get a big break in life! All they have to do is to go about exerting more pressure on their mind capacity and making sure that they do some more strategic thinking all the time.

We all know that some of the people who have ruled this world with ideas or innovations are people who have said certain things that used to sound crazy or impossible. Someone once said that metal objects will fly in the air and that person sounded crazy until it happened. The idea of speaking to someone you could not see physically was only a literary term for literature students until telephones were invented. When you expand your mind and begin to see things differently you may sound crazy. You may not sound normal. You may not look like someone working with normal senses! Dont be surprised! They said the same thing to all the people who once thought differently and expanded their minds.

This is not a time to live your life to chances and hope that thing will happen for you. You need to deliberate stretch your mind through books, tapes and some positive videos that will set you on fire! If you dont expand you mind, there are some ideas you cannot receive or comprehend. When you cannot receive or comprehend and idea, you are also not entitled to the gifts, glory and other benefits that come with such ideas!

Certain things will happen around you and you will only be able to understand them with an expanded mind. If you do not expand your mind you will keep seeing limitations, failures and difficulties. Nothing will seem to work when your mind is not expanded. Someone may suggest an idea to you and it will look so foolish but and expanded mind will begin to analyze until you realize that something is hidden in the seemingly foolish ideas.

An expanded mind sees solutions in some very difficult things such that when others are grumbling there will be opportunities. Only the expanded mind will take advantage of every other persons problem to be a solution provider and as well receive financial rewards. Some people want more money but they are not working on stretching their minds. If you will commit to using your mind more than you have used it before or allow it do some extra work, you can be sure that you will see some extra results.

Dont leave your mind idle and never allow it remain in the same area for too long! Keep developing it! Keep working on it and keep driving it until it has a solution that is relevant to the people in your generation.

There’s no law against dreaming big! | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

Towards the end of each year some people begin to take stock and look at the things they wish they had done but did not do. A few others forget about the things they could not do and begin to look at the things they can do in the new year. For those who are already looking at what they can do in the new year, I just quick need to say that you should make your dreams very clear and more important, remember there is no law against dreaming big!

If all your dreams are within your reasonable and limited resources then I can boldly say that what you call a dream has no element of faith. If you can achieve anything by planning within only what you have then it cannot be called a dream! Its just what you could have done if you had some more discipline!

In order to make your year a different one from the previous ones, you will have to be willing to take some risks you have not taken before and in this case I think the first risk you have to take is the risk of dreaming big! If you have the courage to dream then you are giving your mind a chance to display its real capacity. I want to challenge you to allow your mind work at a higher capacity than it has always worked before now! Go beyond setting goals that your salary can accommodate! Work with your mind to think outside the box and think about what you would love to do if you truly have all the money in the world.

It is not lack of money that does not allow people to dream. It is the limitation called fear. Some people want to wait till they have enough money to begin to dream but do not understand that lifes resources do not take instructions from those who have mere wishes. The resources of life come out from wherever they are hiding when they hear the voice of real dreamers who are taking all the necessary action to make their dreams work.

There’s another perspective to dreaming big and I will want to put it in a simple way.

When you have the courage to dream big,
God has enough resources to make it happen.

You have to always remember that God created you and theres no way your mind can imagine what God cannot make happen for you! If theres anything you can imagine, just know that God can effortlessly make it happen!

Stop the self-limiting thoughts that confine you to one small part of your minds capacity. If all you ever want to do is to plan within your visible resources, let me remind you that if change is constant then you do not have the power to keep those visible resources at their current value and you may even lose them totally!

By the way, what do you have to lose from dreaming big! You still eat the same amount of food you have been eating, you dont consume more electricity to dream big, you dont have to buy more gas to dream big and you do not need an extra mind! If not, why not? Go ahead and make your life a different one by dreaming differently this time! Just dream and keep working at it!

How hackers work through social media.

Strategy

1.Most hackers will begin by sending out a message making outrageous promises just to tempt readers who will then click their links. Sometimes they just mention your name in a very funny issue and because you are concerned about your name, you will click for further reading. They may be making statements like I just got my free Ipad now! Click here to get yours. It could be a promise on the latest iphone or some other electronic devices. Sometimes, its just a promise for free shopping!

2.When you click on their links (from a computer system), you will most likely see a look-alike login page for your social media accounts.

3.You will be required to login to your accounts

4.Once you login, their softwares automatically retrieve details from your account and begin to use your account to send the same messages that you received to your friends, fans and followers.

What to do

1.When you see such messages in your mailbox or social media accounts, make sure you do not click.

2.You may want to call the attention of the person whose account was used to send the message about the funny links just to let him or her know that his or her accounts have been compromised.

3.Advise the person to change passwords and in the bid to be proactive you can change your own password immediately.

4.Put up a disclaimer you must let people know that theres a new spam message going round. It has been sent to you and your account might just be used to send it to them. Let the people know you never sent any link and they should not click.

5.No celebrity or corporate organisation should neglect the use of a disclaimer because some of their fans may just follow through with any instruction coming from their pages without asking questions.

6.When changing your passwords, please consider using alphanumeric a combination of letters and figures to make it more difficult for hackers or other people who want to play smart on you.

Potential Impact!

1.Clicking such links in some cases may damage the device you are trying to use to access the link. Your computer system may crash.

2.Hackers just need a click from different users to keep spreading their viruses because the links are working through automated softwares.

3.Anyone whose account is used to send spam messages will look like a nuisance to other social media users because the messages are usually sent repeatedly.

What to note!

1.Hackers may be directly known to you and they may never be known to you.

2.In the case of a known hacker, this person may just want you to pay some money or frustrate what you are doing completely.

There is no need to be afraid about whatever the hackers are doing. Its just one of the challenges of the internet but what that means is that you must have a backup for most of the documents you upload on the internet.

I believe that this piece will be very useful to someone reading it either personally or for your organizations.

If you think this information has helped you in anyway please let me know. Thank you for your attention.

Subsidy, Subsi-deal or Subsi-trick | Fola Daniel Adelesi

In the developed nations, when the government intends to introduce something new into the system and it affects nearly everyone in the country, there are processes for doing such. Often times, it begins with an official statement not just telling us the government wants to remove this or add that. It states the intention of the government and the reason the government needs to act the time the issue is being raised.

In some cases, you will get facts and figures from the official statement to help you understand the implication of the decision that the government is about to make even if it does not go down well with everyone whos hearing it. In the case of The United States, the seating President will be willing to engage the congress and even the general public in a national debate on the subject matter. The congress also spends some time reviewing the matter and it usually gets to a level where the final decision on the subject matter is not about the Presidents party but about whats more beneficial to the society and what the people want as a nation.

We must admit that it is not enough for President Goodluck Jonathan to declare he wants to remove the oil subsidy. Over the weeks when a number of people started making so much noise about the subsidy, I decided to keep quiet and watch for more statements to be made about this issue from government quarters. This is more important to be because I cannot afford to shout and argue blindly without having details to stand on in any presentation I want to make.

Up until this moment, most of the arguments I have heard about the oil subsidy have not made too much sense to me because most of the people talking have been more biased about the political party of the president or the anticipated increase in the price of oil. Unfortunately, not even the Labour Congress has a solid argument to stand.

A few people have gone in the direction that I expect this argument to take and what they have simply done is to ask questions about the subsidy. From the Senates romantic affair with the Ministers directly involved with the removal of oil subsidy, Ministers of Finance and Petroleum resources (Ngozi Okonjo Iweal and Deziani Allison Maduake), the only thing that can be deduced is the fact that the subsidy from the government had tripled in figures. Prices of fuel are not coming down despite the increase in the subsidy from the government. We obviously have no working refineries and drastic measures have to be taken so that we just do not continue to enrich those who are already rich.

What I think the federal government should be doing right now is to come out on national television for a public debate over the removal of the oil subsidy. The government needs to tell people why

1.The subsidy from government for the oil tripled without the price of oil dropping

2.Why do you want to remove the oil subsidy right now?

3.What will you do with the money that you are removing from oil?

4.How are you going to tackle the expected effect of the removal from oil subsidy?

5.Why cant you do a gradual reduction in the subsidy instead of instant and total removal?

6.If importers of fuel have relied on subsidy to bring in fuel, how will they be able to bring in fuel after the removal?

7.More importantly, what is the federal governments concrete plan for bringing our refineries back to life?

If we work in the line of an intellectual discourse and refuse to be distracted by the noise all over the place, we will spend little time hitting the right issues and come out with better results. We already have too much noise because we seem to be reacting too quickly without a thorough analysis of the real issues.

Dont just say no! Question the action and the process, demand answers and the government must be willing to debate instead of telling us some cabals are in charge so we need to remove subsidy.

Why there’s an ending and a new beginning | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

God had everything planned out from the beginning of the world because he knew that a number of things may go wrong when you and I are trying to do what we intend to do. Some of the things we want to do may just take a different turn and life may appear to be very frustrating to what God had done was to have a beginning and an ending so that when things go wrong you can have an end to those things and get a chance to start all over on a new slate.

Some people may have messed up their lives and the will still get a chance to end the mess only if they are willing to take advantage of the beginning that God is offering. If there is no end or a new beginning for the things we are doing, we may never get a chance to correct all the mistakes we are making or we just may never have the opportunity to fix some things that have gone bad!

I must honestly admit that in some cases we are getting a new beginning not because we will have the opportunity to fix what has gone wrong but because God want to give us a chance to put everything behind us and just start on a clean slate! Life may have dealt with you seriously and you may not be having a great time at all. Guess what? Having and end is to your advantage because everything that has a beginning has an end!

This is not just another motivational piece thats written just to get you excited! There are days in a week and the reason we can call all those days a week is because each day comes to an end and a new day starts. Beyond that, each week comes to an end and then we have a month but this is not just about having the days roll by so that we can keep counting! The importance of each days newness has to do with us getting another chance to start all over if we didnt get certain things right. If we are getting things right as we do them now, then we have a chance to improve on what we are doing with every new day that comes!

Life would be so frustrating if there was no chance to start all over again! It will be very difficult if we just have to work for very long or unending hours or in an unending day! We have to appreciate the privilege of getting another chance much more than we look at the things we didnt do appropriately! Gods provision for our mistake is to give us another chance by giving us another second, another minute, another hour, another day, another week, another month and another year!

Take a moment right now and just forget about the things you could not fix. Set your focus on the new day ahead of you and the new opportunity ahead of you! Begin to work on what you are going to do with the second chance that God has presented to you and is fast approaching. The time many people have to plan for another opportunity is usually spent on regretting the lost or misused opportunity. Dont fall into that trap, you already have a second chance coming in form of new days, weeks, years and new opportunities. Grab this new chance and appreciate the privilege of an ending and a beginning!

Re-ignite your self-belief | © Fola Daniel Adelesi

In my honest opinion, a man who no longer believes in himself is half dead! This is so true because when we find ourselves in some very difficult situations in life and it look like nothing will ever change in our favour, it is the belief that we have in ourselves that still keep us going and give us some energy to do a few more things. That way, we keep going and going with that little faith in us until we get something done.

Martin Luther King has already said that faith is taking the first step even when you cant see the whole staircase. I also think that for you to take some important steps in life towards where you want to go, you will still believe that you can do it! You will only be taking steps when you have not given up on your capacity to succeed. We have too many people today who are not succeeding not because they can no longer succeed but because they have given up on their capacity to succeed.

One of the things you need to come to is a review of other peoples life and when you do that, you will find out that a number of people have worse situations when compared to you. If you lost your father and you think that a reason to lose everything, you will find that some people have lost both parents and its more difficult for them. When someone says okay I lost both parents then you will find someone who was abandoned at childbirth and probably was almost aborted before childbirth!

In businesses there could be people who have lost a lot of money and while that one is complaining you will find the person who has not only lost money but the business premises is burnt down. The story was told recently by a preacher of a Lagos based house owner. This man had 3 houses until government began to demolish houses. Unfortunately, all his houses are on the same row and the government demolished the 3 houses in one day! Imagine how devastating that would be for this man! At the time the preacher met him, he had sent his family back to the village and was already riding a commercial motorcycle in order to make a living. This conversation ensued between the preacher and the rider because the riders hands were shaking on the bike and the preacher asked him why he had not resigned since he was already getting old. Losing different things can cause you to lose a measure of faith in yourself but what about losing 3 houses all in one day to the same government! Well I think he has taken it in good faith by starting all over from a very humble beginning.

Life may have dealt you some blows but you need to know the importance of getting back on your feet. Defeat is not final and failure is not total. Both defeat and failure are necessary bridges for us to cross on the way to success. Sometimes when life lets you down, all you need to do is to withdraw into a corner, just keep listening to some powerful thoughts by great men and you need to listen intensely. Hear their stories, find out how they have failed or lost something vital. After listening you may then have the courage to read about them. That will boost your confidence in yourself and help you realize that if someone else has failed before then you will not be the first to fail and bounce back to life!

Guess what, your stories of failure are usually very demoralizing only if they end that way but when they take a turn from the failure to a bounce back, the stories become very interesting. A success story is usually not complete without the element of failure so weve got to look past the failure and look forward to the success!
