During a robbery in USA, the bank robber shouted to everyone in the bank: "Don't move. The money belongs to the State. Your life belongs to you."
Everyone in the bank laid down quietly. This is called "Mind Changing Concept” Changing the conventional way of thinking.
When a lady lay on the table provocatively, the robber shouted at her: "Please be civilized! This is a robbery and not a rape!"
This is called "Being Professional” Focus only on what you are trained to do!
When the bank robbers returned home, the younger robber (MBA-trained) told the older robber (who has only completed Year 6 in primary school): "Big brother, let's count how much we got."
The older robber rebutted and said: "You are very stupid. There is so much money it will take us a long time to count. Tonight, the TV news will tell us how much we robbed from the bank!"
This is called "Experience.” Nowadays, experience is more important than paper qualifications!
After the robbers had left, the bank manager told the bank supervisor to call the police quickly. But the supervisor said to him: "Wait! Let us take out $10 million from the bank for ourselves and add it to the $70 million that we have previously embezzled from the bank”.
This is called "Swim with the tide.” Converting an unfavorable situation to your advantage!
The supervisor says: "It will be good if there is a robbery every month."
This is called "Killing Boredom.” Personal Happiness is more important than your job.
The next day, the TV news reported that $100 million was taken from the bank. The robbers counted and counted and counted, but they could only count $20 million. The robbers were very angry and complained: "We risked our lives and only took $20 million. The bank manager took $80 million with a snap of his fingers. It looks like it is better to be educated than to be a thief!"
This is called "Knowledge is worth as much as gold!"
The bank manager was smiling and happy because his losses in the share market are now covered by this robbery.
This is called "Seizing the opportunity.” Daring to take risks!
So who are the real robbers here?
Happy Sunday

EVERYTHING HAS TIME.
You loaned your friend N4,000,000 last year and since then, he has refused to pay back, which has deteriorated the friendship.
You begged him to just pay you N2,000,000 and forget the rest because you are in a financial crisis. Your friend then says he can only get you N1,500,000 since that's all he has. You feel like you have no option but to accept.
You eventually gave him your account details to send the amount directly to your bank. You wake up the next morning, checked your account and there is N15,000,000 in it.
You kept staring at the screen in disbelief but it is indeed 15m.
You grab your phone and find 53 missed calls from him and an additional 27 text messages begging you to transfer back N13,500,000 since he only meant to send N1,500,000
and mistakenly added an extra 0.
As a well-brought-up person, what are you supposed to do?
1. Send back N13,500,000/=?
2. Take your full N4,000,000/=?
3. Keep the entire N15,000,000/=?
4. Switch off your phone and relocate

Remember Opportunity Comes but
Let's discuss and learn from it.
Post From Olorun Femi
Take a look at the photo below.
That is a screenshot I did on YouTube of the music video of Simi's successful song, "Duduke"
She released the song in April 2020, just before lockdown in May, at the heart of the pandemic.
By far, this song was a hit! And as at today, it has grossed over 43 million views on YouTube alone!
It was a viral sensation!
I loved the song.
Many folks loved it.
She made good money from YouTube.
But I want you to take another look at the photo.
Take a look at the part I circled "red."
Did you notice something?
That is the number of people who gave the song a "thumbs down," more or less like a disapproval.
11,000 people gave it a thumbs down!
11,000 ke!
But one would wonder why would anyone give such a lovely song a thumbs down. How can?
But that tells you something about life.
No matter how good you think you are or how good what you have done is, you'll attract critics
You will always attract people who do not agree with you or buy into your vision or contributions
You will attract the rebels, naysayers or those who simply don't share in what you hold dearly.
That's fine.
So know this and know peace.
Not everyone would like you. But did you notice that the 11,000 dislikes are also part of the 43m views?
That's another lesson in life.
To excel, you need those dislikes too.
They add to the flavour of your victory.
I like the way Conor Mcgrenor puts it.
He says and I quote:
"This week they love you. Next week they hate you. Just make sure you get paid both weeks."
