Raaaaaandom thoughts......

Is it possible to arrive
Can anyone ever arrive?
Why do people go about with their big heads like they've arrived?
Can u see why I hate success?
Success is self consuming
Everyone should quest for greatness cos u become great by virtue of what u do for others


I had a good time at the Silverbird Bookjam, I hate being on high tables....it denies me of side talks, side pings and slouching. Though as much as I look forward to that, I've never been on one with any old friend. I always have to make new friends on high tables.

So I had loads of questions to answer today, most of which I didn't get a full grasp off....all I knew was that I kept on talking. I was just saying things and it seemed they were satisfied....me I dunno oh

But for reals, there are very few interviewers I've enjoyed. Myne gave me a great start, Funmi did same, Anna helped me a lot, Bro Femi, Ada's interview was pretty cool, the STV babe was equally on point, then I had intelligent questions to answer at my book launch.

Overall, I'm sorry to say but from experiences I've come to realize that Nigerians don't know how to construct questions! Especially when they are not one-liners
I've always noticed this at seminars and conferences, they never just put it right. If u don't believe me I have CDs of seminars that had Q&A sessions and if u sit to analyse u'll just realize that there's something wrong with the construction of these questions.

If u came for the John C. Maxwell bookjam outing u should remember how the Atrium Consults guy had to rephrase almost every question they asked him (except for mine *wink* n a few others) and this was the same thing

Only God will help me oh cos I dunno if it's me or them

Also at the bookjam they made me remind myself why I don't want to be just an author, they talked about how great authors first have to publish outside Naija before they gain recognition and all of those historical/statistical things.....there's more to my life than writig books jare.



In conclusion, I feel for everyone one of us, there must be that one thing u can do right now that will give ur world a glimpse into the days of greatness ahead of u.
Facebook note was it for me at some point, soon enough it was blogging, later on it was A-Z. But today I feel it's a combination of the 3.
Find that one thing and exploit it to the maximum
