When you spend eight hours with the same people in the same place for months and years, you’re likely to start thinking of them as your friends. In fact, some people may start assuming they’re “family”.
The flip side of this question is often what keeps us down; what if you fail? There are many books that were never written because of this question; there are many applications that were never sent because of this.
Dear friends, the close of a quarter is usually the opening of another. And for this year, we’re one quarter gone, down to the next.

Have you ever walked pass a well mowed lawn and thought to yourself “This is Beautiful”? Have you seen a well laid landscape, and admired how it made the scenery beautiful? Well, someone made it so.
One of the hallmarks of your day as a career person is the physical exhaustion that comes at the end. In fact, it doubles if you had a bad day. Nothing prepares a newbie for that gut wrenching feeling. I once thought “is it worth it?”
If you look back at your life, you’ll identify specific occasions where your emotions were your biggest motivation to success; your anger at an anomaly, your fear of disappointing your family, etc.
It is true. In life, there are times and there are seasons; a time to sow seeds and wait; a time to reap fruits from your seeds. There is a season to toil and build, and there is still a season to laugh and dwell. It is a governing rule of life.
Thank you Ngozi.
