 Live One Day at A Time

You can only manage if you take each day, the
burden it carries. But load will be excess for you
if you carry yesterday's burden over again today a
then add the responsibility of tomorrow to the weight
before you are required to bear it. Let yesterday go
and leave tomorrow until it arrives. Measure your
daily achieving before another day starts. Every
day when a day ends the first thing you can do is to
measure your progress. Focus often fades because of
lack of feedback. Your brain has a natural desire to
know whether or not you are making progress toward
your goals, and it is impossible to know that getting
feedback. From a practical standpoint, this means
we need to measure our results.We all have areas
of life that we say are important to us, but that we
aren’t measuring. That's a shame because
measurement maintains focus and concentration.
The things we estimate are the things we improve.
It is only through numbers and explicit tracking that w
have any idea if we are getting better or worse.
•    When I measured how many pushups I did, I got started
•    When I tracked my reading habit of 20 pages per
day, I read more books.
•    When I recorded my values, I began living with
more integrity.
The tasks I measured were the ones I remained
focused on.Unfortunately, we often avoid measuring
because we are fearful of what the numbers will tell
us about ourselves. The trick is to realize that
measuring is not a judgment about who you are;
it's just feedback on where you are.  Measure to
discover, to find out, to understand. Measure to get
to know yourself better. Measure to see if you're
spending time on the things that are important to you.
Measure because it will help you focus on the things
that make and ignore the things that don’t.

Tip number 34 in the book "50 WAYS TO SUCCESS" by Salim Mohammed Kea Be Curious Though it may have killed the cat, curiosity has its reason for existing. Find out! The world belongs to those who do. There is a vast world out there waiting to be explored, and only curiosity can lead you there. Through curiosity, you learn through learning you recreate yourself you become able to do things you never were able to do and extend your capacity to create. Learn something every day, be curious. If it were not for curiosity to discover then many could not have changed their mindsets towards student leaders in schools. I was a leader by birth, and I got the chance to lead in school. Maybe I give out my leadership statistics from primary level to secondary level. I was ever curious to find out how leaders do their things, interact with their subjects and even to know how they do change situations or bring a change. My dear if you haven’t been a leader then my curiosity led

Take Action

Tip number 4 in the book " 50 WAYS TO SUCCESS" by Salim Mohammed Kea To succeed in any way, you first must do something. Big thoughts, bright ideas, yes, but nothing will happen until you put it to action. Your success in achieving what you want in life requires two things, you must know how, and then does it. Inaction in all forms is self-defeat which leads to failure. Your dreams will only come true when you act to turn them into reality. If you don't respond, something terrible happens NOTHING! Today’s success is just like the traffic lights; therefore, if it is a red stop if its yellow pause as you get ready and if its green go ahead the world is yours. Green is freshness; thus, whatever you prepare, you plan to achieve today that’s now gone for it. Although people once said your dream is someone else’s occupation. Yes, it is true, but everyone is talented differently using different potentials take a unique action, and you will move far. Let only the

CAMPUS: AN EARTHLY PARADISE.

“The story of determination and diligence.” Would you not want to listen to story with such a caption? Captivating; gets you adjusting your position of rest, captures your attention and you give it that smile hoping for a story well told and you settle to give it that perfect read. The story betters with every line. Before you know it, you are absorbed into the story; eyes glued, only rolling from one end of a line to other, the head as motionless as a tree. Well, you might ask what all the determination and diligence is all about given that you are not actually reading the story(with the fact that you are reading this article in assumption). The determination story is a that of a pupil. A pupil in primary school. The pupil works hard, does well in the final examinations and books a slot in a good secondary school. That is success enough; but out of passion, determination and diligence, more follows. The student (our pupil approximately a year ago), is now in high school thus a student
