Life gives us what we are not, and what we want to be. We are instrumental to whatever we become in life. For you to be successful in life you need to be original, carbon copy cannot be like the original. Being unique does not mean that you have to infringe on other peoples right. A person's personality matters a lot in business and in life has a whole. You need to know who you are to be a become a good brand. We are brands even as individuals, to have a good brand you must be faithful in whatever you are doing and you must have packaging power. For you to become successful and achieve the best in life you need to brand yourself properly. That remind of one of my experience in which i had to go to the Library on getting there i saw some young student who came to read at the library, they requested for novels and they were given encyclopedia, they collected it and pretended to read it but they were really not reading. The did not have a stand so they were could not insist on what they wanted. If you do not brand and position yourself people would price you cheap. Have a stand and don't let anybody be little you. Potray yourself has a brand. Let us keep on doing our best in whatever comes our way. The fact that everybody is doing something does not mean that you should also join in doing it, just as i said earlier on it it is necessary that we position our self in the right place and in the company of the right people for us to become a brand. You are affected by several things in life but you would be influenced most especially by the book you read and the people that you associate with i.e your friends. Do not imitate anybody because imitation is a limitation and the more you imitate somebody the less of yourself you become. Do not be a photocopy, a photocopy can never be like the original i therefore implore you to always be unique, you can emulate the good attribute of somebody but don't live your whole life like the person if you do you would only become a second best. You would be a second fiddler, strive to always carve out a niche for yourself, make sure that you value yourself because if you don't, somebody would price you cheap. In Branding you need to first of all discover your personality. your strong and weak point, what you like and dislike, then improve your strong point and work on your weak point. After you are through with yourself move on to help other people achieve what they ought to be. Make friends and have the right association. Have friends that are older that you, your age mate and younger ones « return. |
