Some moments don't need goals even in football but Humanity a story of Messi.

Image
  GARETH BALE: “In football, there was a moment that changed my view of competition. While I was struggling with a chronic muscle injury that kept haunting me throughout my career, I received an unexpected message from Real Madrid’s fitness coach. He said, ‘Leo is asking about your condition and wants to help you.’ “What happened next? A personal call from Messi’s personal doctor, offering me a proven treatment protocol, sharing rehab exercises that Messi himself used in 2013. A recommendation for a specialized clinic in Barcelona that treats many players from the football world, where competition is fierce. This situation taught me that true professionalism transcends teams and colors, and greatness is measured by what you offer to others—even your opponents. Messi is a human being before he is a legend. At a time when many see the rivalry between Real Madrid and Barcelona as a war, Messi reminded us that football is a beautiful game! So...

How Context Multiplies Your Value The Secret to Explosive Growth

Image
  This law explains how you can get paid multiple more for the skills you already have, and how all the value comes from the context , not the skill itself. Four ending lessons about the value of any skill sets: 1.        Our skills hold no intrinsic value – our skills are worth nothing ; value is what someone is willing to pay. 2.       The Value of any skill is determined by the context in which it is required . Every skill holds a different value in a different sector. 3.       The perception of a skill’s rarity influences how much people value it . 4.       People will assess the worth of your skill based on how much value they believe it can generate for them. A common misconception is that people feel the only avenue for securing a pay increase is either via promotion in one’s current position or job place, or to seek a similar role within the same industr...

GROWING YOUR PEOPLE’S SKILL

  As  Theodore Roosevelt , the former American President said, “ The most important single ingredient in the formulae of success is knowing how to get along with people”.   Julian Craig  also points out, “ No matter how much work you can do, no matter how engaging your personality may be, you will not advance far in life/business or any endeavour if you cannot work through others ”.  This virtue requires you to see the value in others.  One of the best stories I ever read that illustrated this point was told by a Nurse.   ‘During second year of Nursing School, our Professor gave us a quiz.  I breezed through the questions until I read the last one:  What is the name of the woman who cleans the school?  Surely, this was a joke, I thought.  I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name?  I handed in my paper, leaving the last questions blank .  Before the class ended, one student asked if...

TELL TO WIN BY PETER GUBER

Image
  The Book is about the strategic importance of appealing to people’s hearts in order to persuade others to support your vision, dream or cause, through story telling. Non ‘stories’ may provide information, but stories have a unique power to move people’s hearts, minds, feet, and wallets, in the story teller’s intended direction. For example, in film making, if you miss the audience’s hearts, the only wallet that gets hit will be your own. That is because the heart is always the first target in storytelling . If one is pursuing a cause that will improve the life of others, for instance, providing clean water for kids in Somalia, and one tells a story of how kids in this area die from lack of clean water and such film is viewed by an audience of businessmen, it’s most likely going to appeal to their hearts, and then the cheques of donors can start rolling out. To succeed, you have to persuade others to support your vision, dream or cause . Whether you want to motivate yo...

ADVERSITY: One of the Catalysts for Learning

Image
  Extraordinary people survive under the most terrible circumstances and then become more extraordinary because of it. Most of the time, we don’t choose our adversity, but all the time we can choose our response to it .   If we respond positively to difficulties, the outcome will be potentially positive.  If we respond negatively to our difficulties, the outcome will be potentially negative. There’s a story about a young woman who complained to her father about her life and how hard things were for her.  The adversity of life was overwhelming her, and she wanted to give up. As she listened, her father filled three pots with water and brought them to boil on the stove.  Into the first he put carrots slices, into the second he put eggs, and into the third he put ground coffee beans.  He let them simmer for a few minutes and then placed the carrots, eggs, and coffee before her in three containers.  “What do you see?” he a...

I don't know if you know the name, but he was a very famous gangster . He dealt in illegal trade alcohol, gambling, tr afficing , drugs etc and he was a very violent man. And he had a friend known as Easy Eddie, who was a lawyer . And Easy Eddie had a great talent. He knew exactly how to bribe, persuade or threaten to get what he wanted . for example, he would bribe judges, police sergeants, jurors, witnesses. And what it meant, at one point, to give you an example, Al Capone beat a man to death with a baseball bat in a restaurant that was filled with over 100 people and there was not a single witness willing to come forward to testify against Al capone . And that was down to the skills and threat of Easy Eddie. So Al Capone recognized his abilities and he gave him everything. Cadillacs, jewellery. At one point he gave him an e...
