Discovered Truth


Discovered Truth
There are things which makes one excel above others in life; some of these I am about enumerating here below. Anyone who is seeking excellence will know what he/she has to develop and have.
1.     Uncommon endowments from Almighty God which is beyond what is granted others.
2.     Uncommon life style. Many of the people that excelled in life lived uncommon life style such as solitary lives, adventurous lives and exploitative lives.
3.     Uncommon ambition. This is holy and profitable ambition to benefit humanity.
4.     Uncommon character. This is an elevated character which is able to distinguish one from others and also makes one superior to others.
5.     Uncommon dedication. This is high dedication to duty, to calling, to one’s profession and occupation which is capable of making one distinct and different from others.
6.     Uncommon education and training. This is high standard of education and training which prepares one for the task ahead and makes different from others.
7.     Uncommon knowledge. This is a special knowledge which must be acquired either by learning on the job, education, training, experience or exposure, which makes one specially prepared for a task.
8.     Uncommon wisdom. This is another endowment of God which one can pray to have which is capable of making one to excel above others. For example, Wisdom of Solomon.
9.     Uncommon spirit. Again, this is an endowment of God and can also be prayed for, which is capable to making one different from others and excel above others. E.g. Uncommon spirit endowed Daniel in Babylon.
10.                         Uncommon skills. Skills are usually developed or acquired in training, skill acquisition or capacity development; which gives one the opportunity to perform better than others.
11.                        Uncommon understanding. This is not a gift as such but must be developed; as robust understanding of one’s work, profession, occupation etc. makes ones to excel above others in life.
12.                        Uncommon sacrifice. In trodden the path of excellence, one must be able to make sacrifices denying oneself some pleasantries, comfort and enjoyment; for it is not possible for one to eat his/her cake and  also have it at the same time.
13.                        Uncommon planning. It is an accepted adage that one who fails to plan for success is actually planning to fail. There must be adequate planning for success and excellence for it does not just come in the form of magic or miracle.
14.                        Uncommon perseverance. One must demonstrate uncommon perseverance and doggedness for what one beliefs in and what one is pursuing in life. There are always many dissenting voices and discouragement in life; and if one cannot persistently stand his/her ground, one may be taken away from the path of success and excellence.
15.                        Uncommon goal setting. This is a goal setting which denotes a blueprint for what you want to accomplish in life, professionally, educationally, materially and service wise.
16.                        Will power and determination. This may involve political will, career will, spiritual will, social will etc, which makes people different, excelling above others.
