How do I stay motivated to become super successful in life?: you cant afford to miss this, DONT !!!












We live in an era of motivational speakers, in which everyone is selling you the same product under different name. And the regular saying "  anything could be achieved through hard work". Want a better job? Work harder. Want more money? Work harder. Want a better life? Well...work harder! It almost sounds like a dogma from some radical cult. Probably because it's not too far from the truth.
Life is not about working hard like a horse. It's about being a smart reasonable being. The very fact that you connect the word "success" to working harder means to me that you understand it as financial independence (being able to afford pretty much anything anytime). Success encapsulates many different spheres, so here's what you can do to be more successful:
EDUCATE YOURSELF
It all starts with you. You can't help anyone else if you don't help yourself first. That's why in cases of emergencies you are taught to first take care of yourself and then help anyone else. You've probably heard this on the plane hundreds of times. So start by reading inspiring books in your free time (plenty of such questions here), listening to educational podcasts/videos on your way to work (TED is a great example) and watching movies that expand your way of thinking.
TAKE CARE OF YOUR BODY
It's the only one you will ever have, so why not take better care of it? The better your body functions, the more productive you will be and more capable you will be in enjoying the world. Working out also makes you smarter.
BUILD STRONGER RELATIONSHIP
All the money in the world cannot buy you family relationship and honest friends. These are things that you build with time and it takes a certain mindset to be able to appreciate. A picnic with some good friends costs close to nothing, yet it can give you memories for a lifetime. You feel so much happier and grateful about your life when you have someone by your side to share your best moments with. You know what they say – shared happiness is double happiness.
SHOW APPRECIATION
It seems that we are taught today to be never fully satisfied. We always want a faster car, better home, the latest gadget, more clothes, and so on and so on. We are too concentrated on the things that we don’t have than the things we have. Appreciation is about realizing how lucky you are to be alive, in good health and have all your basic needs covered. The rest is vanity.
BE ENTHUSIASTIC ABOUT LIFE
The other day I was having my hair cut. While sitting on the chair I was thinking how hard working the woman was. Every day she spends about 6-7 hours standing and cutting people’s hair. I will be damned if she is not hard working. But so are other people who spend 10+ hours doing heavy manual labor. I could never do that, for which reason I have the utmost respect for them.
Most of those people don’t seem happy because they don’t enjoy their work. They think that working hard is the answer, when the reality is just being smart about life. You need to be full of enthusiasm to create things, to help others and to find the most efficient way to do so. So be enthusiastic about life and you will see opportunities that are invisible to most people.
I would like to finish my answer with a well-known philosophical observation that society teaches us to focus on having, rather than being. We tend to seek material objects and status even though we know we can never have enough. The truth is that the very best things in life are free for a reason – because everyone has the right to be happy and be successful.
I know this might not be the answer you’ve been looking for, but I hope it’s the answer that you needed.

How OPEC Agreed A 1.2Mbpd Production Cut

After months of wheeling and dealing, the member nations of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) have finally agreed an average drop in production level of 1.2 million barrels per day, effective January. The agreement exempted Nigeria and Libya, but gave Iraq its first quotas since the 1990s, Bloomberg reports. Iran seems to be the greatest winner, as OPEC agreed for the country to raise output to about 3.8 million barrels a day as the country sought special treatment as it recovers from sanctions. However, Iraq OPEC’s second-largest producer, agreed to cut by 210,000 barrels a day from October levels despite its previous push for special consideration based on the urgency of its offensive against Islamic State. Saudi Arabia, which raised oil production to a record this year, will reduce output by 486,000 barrels a day to 10.058 million a day. The United Arab Emirates and Kuwait will reduce output by 139,000 barrels a day and 131,000 a day while ...

The Nations external reserves dropped below $26 billion for the first time on the 5th of August 2016 after it closed at about $25,971,610,949. In fact, the external reserves has dropped by about $480 million dollars in August alone compared to just $100 million in the whole of July. Ironically, the current balance of $25.9 billion is worth about 80% more than what it was in Naira following the depreciation of the naira after it was floated. The CBN has in the past few days ramped up sales of dollars at the interbank in the hope that it will create liquidity in a market that is yawning gape to swallow forex after nearly almost two years of intense rationing by the CBN. The Naira weakened to its lowest ever at the interbank after it closed at about N362.5/$1 in midday trading. The Naira will eventua...
