It Is Not About Where You Start From

I was listening to Sport Radio, Brila FM, this morning and the Big Larry himself was doing a feature on FC Barcelona’s coach, Josep “Pep” Guardiola. One striking thing about his story is that Guardiola started at Barcelona as a ball boy before working his way up the ladder of the club. From...

My Top 10 Inspirational Songs

Written by Adebola Oni

I picked an interest in music at a very tender age. Over the years I have listened to all manner of songs and there are some songs that will forever remain evergreen for me.

Even with the explosion in the music scene in my dear country and the world over, I hardly listen to them because they are devoid of so many things that will make me sit down and listen or watch these songs. I know I am not a music critic but I know good songs when I hear one. ;)

I have decided to share some wonderful songs that I will still hold in very high esteem in this post. I have also included their respective videos for your viewing pleasure.

How To Get All The Money You Want!

Written by Adebola Oni

Most people spend all their life looking for money in one form or another. They look for it in the strangest places and under the weirdest conditions, but they never seem to find it. -- The sad part is they really have more money than they ever imagined; they just don't know it.

If you don't know what money is, how can you expect to get someone else's money to use?

So -- before we can get down to the nitty-gritty -- there is one lesson you must learn. It's not a hard-to-learn lesson, but most people never learn it and go through life looking for something they already have.

What is MONEY?

MONEY IS ONLY A MEDIUM OF EXCHANGE. -- That simply means that ANYTHING that can be exchanged for something else is MONEY.

Until you finally learn and accept the fact that ANYTHING (and I do mean anything) you can exchange for SOMETHING ELSE is money, you will be doomed to a life-long futile search for something you already have.
