Supporting the movement for the extraordinary (2)

         I welcome you all again to my blog and I sincerely apologize for my inability to keep up with my posts due to certain issues. I would try my best to make sure I keep you all updated bi-weekly on new posts and issues that I wish to discuss. Thank you all for your patience.
        Today I would be finalizing our last topic and by God's grace I would also be publishing a new post later on in the week.

Let's start by recapping all that was said on my last post;
       Everyone has the ability to be extraordinary(ability to be above the ordinary) and to turn out successful in their endeavors. I also stated basic steps such as: Finding happiness in what you do and dedication in your line of duty.
       I shall be adding two more basic steps today and I pray that as we follow these steps religiously we all get the pleasant results we desire.

Seek Counsel
   Yes we have to seek advice from others either young or old regardless of how independent we feel we are. I am guilty of always thinking that I can do all on my own and I need nobody ,I am always striving to beat the odds but regardless of how great I feel I am good counsel is always needed. Notice the word "good" meaning not just any kind of counsel but good counsel one that pushes you to reach for the stars and soothes your doubts and weaknesses. Good counsel is what makes the extraordinary individual stand ahead of the ordinary.
Read
   At this point some people are grumbling and complaining that when exactly does the reading end, well the truth is that it doesn't end if you plan to stand ahead. Knowledge is a trait that has to be acquired and it is one that can be passed down not genetically but by others. The best way to acquire knowledge is by reading not just books that are related to our career but also those that expose you to other areas of expertise.
Become an avid reader because books are the least expensive way in which you can explore the world.

Bible verse:
"But i would strengthen you with my mouth, and the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief"- Job 16:5 (NKJV)
Let's all learn to be gentle with our words because they may be the last someone would hear.

I would also love to recommend the book "KITE RUNNER" it is a wonderful book with a view on friendship, servitude and displacement.
                                              Have a wonderful week ahead
