DEVELOP YOURSELF
Develop your mind aggressively and let the process
of self-development be a lifelong and continuous
one. Your mind conforms to what it gets, so when
choosing reading material don‟t go for mediocre
standards. Read extremely great books that have a
positive message which empowers your mind to gain
a new and brighter perspective of life. In this fast
moving age, whatever information you have today
will be obsolete in the next six months. Therefore in
order for you to keep abreast make continuous
development your number one ally. Make an effort,
in fact make it a mandate to keep developing your
mind.

BRUCE LEE
Bruce Lee arguably the greatest martial arts artist to
have ever lived, also understood the power of
declaring a goal. He wrote a letter for himself on
January 9. Bruce wrote, 1970 and it was stamped
Secret. Bruce wrote by 1980 I will be the best known
oriental movie star in the United States and will have
secured 10 million dollars and in return will give
every single time I am in front of the camera and I
will live in peace and harmony. He made three films
and in 1973 filmed Easter the dragon. That is the
same year he passed on and the movie was such a
huge success and achieved worldwide fame for
Bruce lee. I believe if this man was still alive he may
have been a millionaire by now.

ROAD BLOCKS
These are external circumstances that go beyond just
thought and feelings? Roadblocks come in different
forms; different forms; for instance no one wants to
join you on your proposed project. It maybe that you
don‟t have all the money needed to take your project
on the international platform. It could be that you
need investors to boost your financial muscle.

THE WINNING EDGE
This year has been a very bad year for the family
of Doctor Kereke who was convicted for rape
charges and was charged for ten years in jail. I
consider it lost time for this man who is said to be
one of the finest brains Zimbabwe has ever had in
the field of economics and business. Unfortunately
he is not free anymore to use his time on his own
terms. He could have been making a difference for
his family and taking care of his loved ones but
regrettably it will not happen until he comes out of
those prison walls and we are talking of a decade.
