Roaming around success!

SUCCESS- Sucking up to people sure wouldn't get you that lol

On a serious note. success is hard to define, it varies from situation to situation and person to person, but what is failure is easy to define, it has facts. Success is just as elusive to business as faith to religion.

i went to wiki to have a look and it said
1. a level of social status
2. achievement of a goal
3. the opposite of failure

What ever it is that you do brings you status. You can be professional at being bad and good if you dont or do know the difference between wrong or right. Often times here your principles by which you live is what gets you that. People generally are social based creatures so belonging to a particular click and maintaining or growing your position and getting recognition is what makes you successful in yours and others eyes. Emotionally, is about being satisfied with what ever it is you have gotten.

Achievement of a goal like in business is about reaching 5 major steps.
Having staff, suppliers, partners, investors, making a return, revenue. A business must be busy growing and expanding, just like a kid regardless of his mistakes. To me there is no difference between personal and business success it has same measures.
If you are relevant as a business then you are free to expect success.

Generally i think that failure and success are both irrelevant cos its just created for benchmarking more of a mental state in controlling things. We all want assurances and clear rules and guidelines but i feel that takes away the fun. A measure of failure in ones life or business must exist cos it shows you are learning if you still hanging around. For me i do consider myself successful cos i have goals and i am hell bent at making sure they work not as i planed but as it sometimes should. Thats being content. If you look at "risk factors" you are much closer to knowing how to reduce failure. Once you have a balance then consider yourself successful.

African Women in Power!

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT! 
Is it about women or is it about the cradle of life that we are? I have met Ruth & Patience & Lovee & Temi. We are called personalities, that exudes from us. Why did we click? We are the sisterhood of Sexy and the City Africa "lol" such wonderful series. Our hats of to those who made it.

• Ruth -Practical endeavours, high-goals.
• Patience - Expansiveness, visionary, adventure, the constructive use of freedom. 
• Alsu- Responsibility, protection, nurturing, community, balance, sympathy.
• Lovee - Humanitarian, giving nature, selflessness, obligations, creative expression.
• Temi- A foundation, order, service, opposition to limits, steady growth. 

We all answer our names.
How is it that in theses hands Africa isnt safe? We are the pillars of Womens Hearts! Where we rediscover how to dance Azonto ontop of our men. lol YES this statement is pregnant and yes we give birth to unique babies called business and social development.

Perhaps it will be effective to mix cultures because it is what we have noticed in the Eastern Block, Africa, Asia and the Arabia that we women seem to be negatively competitive when we meet people of same nature and experiences but then so it is with Men!


All 5 of us brainstorm and find loopholes with people who are not like us, we have evolved separately as "WOMAN" to embrace challenge and differences in others, so if you are different it doesn't mean we can't roll with you!. We compliment each other as our strengths complement our endeavours. We looking for complementation not flatteries. We have developed a personality that allows us to blend while standing out and allowing others to shine if only they put their heads out. If you are intimidated by our knowledge our personality will embrace you.

Do we want to be taken out for dinner, given flowers, poems written, held and loved for our hearts and supported in our desires to bring peace even if you get an occasional smack? Yes we do! just like any other but you are not going to find us talking about whats is in fashion as a rule, or how our kid pooped, or friend misunderstood her/herself. We are "style" based individuals.

The other day i caught myself walking out of my home without my top because i was so engrossed in reaching out and hugging the world. All 5 of us have been through moments.
Mixing cultures doesn't mean just geographically because that isnt a differentiator.

Ruth! I am able to listen to you and say waw what a lady because you are different from me, i can beat around the bush but you hit straight to the heart, you give me focus. Ruth when she looks at you,  you feel sexy as a woman. Those smokey eyes? Well guys eat ya hearts out she is taken.

Ladies if i wasnt straight i'd turn Gay because of Patience. She is patient. With her i can mess around but she still sees me. Why? Are we learning the Congo dance for nothing? In this group we GAY put us in prison and we will still shine. Patience makes you melt like butter. Between the tenderness and sassiness me want to be but me love those manly hands on the hips..

Temi if not for your outspokenness i wouldn't have had the courage to go my way so soon, yes i was shy, i hide.

Lovee is so pure, a goof ball with a sharp eye for love. My Arabian phenix.

They polished, they refined women of the blocked world. We have hearts of a Buddha, the mind of Muhammed and the body of Christ. You want to know us? Don't seek us through religion but faith, we super spirits. The Only one is our shelter. We  embrace waterfalls, we stand showered by the waters of our soil. We are strong and we are loving, even if we are in a mans world.
