see how you can survive without a job!!

Do you really just want to survive? Honestly though, even with a job it is often difficult to survive.
Here is my advice from a life lived as such:
  1. You can live without a job, but you will not achieve anything without work. You can choose when you want to work, but without automated cash generating assets you will not be able to avoid working.
  2. Dreaming and thinking will become your biggest enemy if you do not learn how to listen first. Perhaps you believe that you have this skill, but you don’t. Dreaming and thinking are internal conversations that often drown out the voices of profit and opportunity.
  3. If you are to survive, and in fact thrive, learn to identify value and profit. Value is the perceived distance between a problem and its solution. Profit is the multiplier of people that have this perception. If one person needs to milk a cow without using their hands, and you can build a machine to do so, there is value but no profit. If 15000 people need your machine, then there is value and profit.
  4. Never, ever sell anything purely for profit. If there is only profit and no value you will lose the only real value you have in life: your good name.
  5. Finally, learn humility and learn it fast. Humility is not the opposite of arrogance nor it is “thinking less of yourself.” Humility is the skill of thinking less about yourself. Your value in life is a function of the value you create for others. You can only do so if you are focused on others.
Use from this what is appropriate, and let me know how it goes - a life lived on your own terms is by no means for the faint of heart!

Gas Alone Cannot Achieve increase in Power Sector – Fashola

The Minister of Power, Works and Housing, Babatunde Fashola , on Thursday said in Lagos that gas alone could not bring the much needed increase in power supply in the country. Fashola spoke as guest speaker through Chinedu Ugbo , acting Chairman, Niger Delta Power Holding Company (NDPHC), at the 2016 Annual Conference of the National Association of Energy Correspondents in Lagos. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) reports that the theme of the conference is entitled: “Low oil price: Impact and the way forward” . Fashola said, “It is not gas alone that will allow us to achieve incremental power”. “It is our most reliable source of power, yes, but it is only one solution among many other underutilised solutions. Mambila Power Station, for example, is likely to be our most defining in the road to incremental power, situated in Taraba State. It will potentially add 3,000MW to the grid and yet this is a hydro-electric project, not gas. Our ministry has recently publicis...
