NICE TO BE BACK!!



It's a great day as always at EMMANDUS NETWORKS! I also believe it is a great day for you too. It's nice to be back after 7 days of silence on this blogging. I have gone virtually 'offline' and away. Sometimes you need got to get away to have a come-back.It wasn't easy not to blog after over 70days of blogging none stop, at times I felt out of place not blogging but I did a bit of writing and more of studying, conversations and observations especially with my self. In between, I did go on a short trip with more observation and reflection.


Within my 7 days away, I felt a loss of connection to my clan, my community and I am so glad to be back.I will continue from where I stopped and will continue on the lesson series daily. I have started to work more on my projects, my first book, my goals of 100 youtube videos, my 100 podcasts

Stay tuned!

Top 10 Business Lessons from Bill Gates







It's a great day, in line with the Life lessons series, I will like to share a great post from around the web on lessons from Bill Gates.
Enjoy!


Top 10 Business Lessons from Bill Gates

#2 Make the Most of the Luck You’re Given
#3 Bite Off More than You Can Chew

Looking Forward

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard in 1974.

In I975, he co-founded Microsoft – a computer software company that would eventually make Gates the world’s wealthiest man. He earned the money by masterfully guiding the world into the era of networked personal computers.

Today, Gates is no longer the world’s wealthiest, but he’s still worth a healthy US$ 59 billion.

He’s retired from his role as Microsoft’s CEO and instead devotes himself full-time to philanthropy through the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Below, you’ll find 10 business lessons from the life of Bill Gates.
#1 Get Lucky

Bill Gates Mug Shot

Gates is a very smart man, but he’s benefitted from more than his fair share of dumb luck.

In 1968, Gates was an eighth grader, attending a private middle school in Seattle called Lakeside. That year, the school invested $3,000 in a state-of-the-art computer.

13-year-old Bill joined computer club and was instantly hooked. He and a handful of other enthusiastic students racked up hours and hours on the machine, learning how to program through trial and error. It was the beginning of a journey that would propel Gates to astronomical success.

Here’s where the dumb luck comes in: in the 1960s, very few colleges had computer labs and a middle school with a computer was unheard of. The chances of a 13-year-old having access to a computer were pretty much one-in-a-million.

If Lakeside hadn’t purchased a computer, then young Bill might never have discovered his love for computer programming and he never would have started Microsoft.
#2 Make the Most of the Luck You’re Given

Bill may have been ridiculously lucky, but all the computer time in the world wouldn’t have meant anything if he hadn’t dedicated himself so fully to master it.

Ultimately, it was the thousands of hours of focused labor that made Gates into the type of computer genius who could start a successful software company.

We don’t always recognize it, but each of us is uniquely lucky. Whether through our natural talents, our circumstances, or our relationships with others, we’re all fortunate to have many paths to success in front of us.

Take in your luck for a moment – and then capitalize on it.
#3 Bite Off More than You Can Chew

Altair Microcomputer

Microsoft’s big break came from Bill Gates telling a fib.

Gates called up a computer company called MITS and told them that they had developed a BASIC interpreter for their microcomputer, the Altair 8800.In 1975, Gates and his childhood programming buddy, Paul Allen, were looking for a way to turn their shared computer hobby into a career.

MITS was interested in seeing a demonstration of the software. This presented a problem, since the software Bill had promised didn’t actually exist.

Gates and Allen developed it in a hurry, presented it to MITS, and made the sale. They officially founded Microsoft one month later, in April 1975.

“An entrepreneur tends to bite off a little more than he can chew hoping he’ll quickly learn how to chew it.”

– Roy Ash, co-founder of Litton Industries

By always pushing yourself to deliver a little bit more than you’ve proven yourself capable of, you’ll go further, faster in your business ventures.

That said, I don’t recommend that you follow Bill’s lead and actually lie to your potential clients.
#4 Quality Control is Crucial

Microsoft's First Logo

As Microsoft grew, it began hiring more and more programmers.

Gates had taken on the role of CEO and his job didn’t call for any programming. But that didn’t stop him from reviewing – and often rewriting – every single line of code that the company released.

Bill’s keen eye for detail ensured that Microsoft always shipped quality software. It also made sure that he never lost track of his team and that he was always intimately familiar with Microsoft’s products.

As your business grows, you’ll likely have to hire a team of employees. It may be tempting to just let them work and trust that they’re doing a good job. But your company has a reputation to protect, so take a page from Gates’ book and keep a close watch on your team’s output.
#5 Revolutionary Ideas are Shown, Not Told

Computer screens once displayed just text.

In the early 80’s, Bill Gates and Steve Ballmer would travel around the country delivering seminars about how graphic interfaces were the operating systems of the future – but nobody believed them.

Computer companies told the Microsoft boys that graphic interfaces would be too slow and that it would be difficult to write the software for them. They were less than enthusiastic when Microsoft announced in 1983 that it was developing Windows.

Apple Macintosh (1984)

Attitudes changed quickly in 1984, when Apple launched the Macintosh. It became the first commercially successful computer with a graphical user interface (GUI).

All of a sudden, it was obvious to everyone that the wave of the future involved windows, icons, menus, and a pointing device. Within a few years, the market was flooded with graphical OS software. Notable examples include Deskmate, Workbench, and – of course – Microsoft Windows.

Microsoft was able to release Windows 1.0 in 1985, just a year after the Mac’s success, because they had actually started developing the software two years earlier.

If you’ve got a revolutionary idea, don’t worry if other people don’t get it. Start developing it now so that you’ll be prepared when the time is right.
#6 Persevere

There is nothing that was overnight.

– Bill Gates

Microsoft Windows 3

income diary windows 3Windows 1.0 actually wasn’t much of a success.Windows 3

Microsoft released Windows 2.0 two years later, in 1987, but it didn’t fare much better. It found moderate success thanks to software – in particular, Excel, Word, and Aldus Pagemaker.

It wasn’t until 1990, when Microsoft launched Windows 3.0, that they found significant success with a graphical operating system. It was a big moneymaker for the company and it sold over 10 million units in just two years.

Microsoft had found the model that would transform them into a computer software giant.
#7 Share Your Vision with Your Team

Just as Gates has seen the advent of the graphical interface years in advance, he predicted the preeminence of the Internet long before the average Joe had a dial-up connection.

By May 1995, Gates was so convinced that the Internet was Microsoft’s future, that he felt compelled to write a very, very long memo to his company. It concluded:

“The Internet is a tidal wave. It changes the rules. It is an incredible opportunity as well as incredible challenge. I am looking forward to your input on how we can improve our strategy to continue our track record of incredible success.”

Gates took the time to write this memo because he recognized how important it was for his whole team to be on board with Microsoft’s mission. The result: Windows 95 came bundled with Internet Explorer.
#8 Marketing is Simple

People don’t buy a product because it’s got a great logo or a low price. They buy because they’ve got a problem and they’re convinced that the product will solve it.

The most difficult part about marketing, then, isn’t coming up with the right tagline. It’s providing a great solution to an actual problem. If you can do that and then demonstrate it, then marketing your solution is simple.

If you show people the problems and you show people the solutions, they will be moved to act.

– Bill Gates

#9 Don’t Learn From Success

It seems obvious that we should reflect on our successes and learn from them. If we can recognize the factors that contributed to that initial success, we should be able to repeat them and repeat our success.

But Gates has argued that success can actually cloud our vision, causing us to become over-confident and unprepared for the new challenges that the future holds.

Success is a lousy teacher. It seduces smart people into thinking they can’t lose.

– Bill Gates

We shouldn’t ignore the patterns of our initial success. But neither should we cling blindly to particular actions or strategies simply because they’ve worked in the past.
#10 Learn from Unhappy Customers

Over the years, Bill Gates has made a ton of his customers unhappy.

Anyone who has stared at the “blue screen of death” understands why.

But as much as people love to complain about Windows, they continue to use it. Windows has been the world’s primary operating system since 1990 and it boasts a stout 82.5% market share as of August 2011.

The reason is simple: Microsoft continues to respond to customer feedback and improve their products. The attitude starts with Bill Gates, himself:

Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.

– Bill Gates

Looking Forward

Bill Gates Looking Forward

Bill Gates career has been marked by his incredible vision. Microsoft beat out the competition largely because they were always looking one step ahead, to the next revolutionary idea.

The lesson here: if you want to get ahead in business, think ahead.

Gates was still thinking ahead when he retired from Microsoft in 2008. He told PC Mag that he thought the Tablet PCs, Internet TV, and natural user interface would be thriving in the near future. History is proving him right.

So, if Gates knew what was coming next, why didn’t he stick around to make it happen? Surely, he could have added a few billion more to his bank accounts.

The answer is that, at some point while thinking about the future, Gates started giving more importance to health care, poverty, and education than he did to the next hi-tech gizmo. He’s making a bigger impact on the future through The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation than he would have made by continuing to run Microsoft.

4 STEPS THAT ENSURE VICTORY! :SPIRITUALITY LESSONS










These are four steps that Brother Copeland learned from Kenneth Hagin that ensure victory. He has used and practiced them and they have brought victory over and over again in his life. They are in line with God's Word.
1. Make the decision: I WILL NOT BE DEFEATED, I WILL RECEIVE FROM GOD.
(I John 5:4-5).

2. Resist Satan: REFUSE TO ENTERTAIN HIS THOUGHTS.
(II Corinthians 10:3-5; James 4:7).

3. GIVE YOUR ATTENTION TO GOD’S WORD (Proverbs 4:20-22). Fix your mind on
God's Word (Joshua 1:8).


4. REFUSE TO SPEAK WORDS CONTRARY TO WHAT YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE
RECEIVED (Mark 11:23-24). Answer every doubt immediately with the Word of God.
Answer every symptom of sickness, unforgiveness, lack, strife, fear, etc. immediately with the Word of God.

POTENTIALS: LESSONS FROM A GREAT QUOTE

LESSONS FROM A GREAT QUOTE.

“What lies behind us and what lies before
us are tiny matters compared to what lies
within us.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

I have always loved this quote from Ralph Emerson and tonight i take a few lessons from it.

1. IT'S IN YOU! : The greatness you have always sought is closer to you than you can ever imagine. The unlimited power, talents and all you really want and desire is no where else than within you. You have it in you and when it looks like it's far away, the route is just right within you. Within you lies unused and explored potentials; a vast mine of diamond lie fallow beneath your feet. IT'S IN YOU!

2. Find it . It's in you but most times you have to find it. Dr. Myles Munroe has been credited to say the richest place on earth isn't the gold mine of South Africa but rather the grave yard. This is due to the vast reserves of unexplored and unrefined potentials of men who died before even finding it. You owe God, yourself and your entire generation and even posterity the sole responsibility of finding IT and exploring it.

3. You must unlock IT. Often times our very best is trapped right within us in the cage of idleness or complacency of 'good enough' often times we shut the door of mediocrity on the unexplored genius within us. At times we find it but it's just locked up; we need to unlock the doors that shut off our best expressions and allow good give way to greatness.

4. Release it: At times the vast potentials of ideas and true greatness that lie within is can't just seem to find full expression just because we refuse to let them out. We get so afraid of making a great change; we find safety in playing by the rules and staying in the comfort bay; The greatest events of our lives are usually outside the comfort zone..Like a woman going through the pain of travailing so as to enjoy the gain of prevailing; we need to release the wealth of gifts given to us to impact our world no matter how rough it might initially seem.

5. If it's to be it's up to ME. That is the creed of everyone who is aware and driven. After all has been said and done, It still boils down to us taking action; nothing works itself except it's worked upon. To have certain experiences you just make them happen! We have just ONE single lifetime and if you are not satisfied with it so far; You want to go to work right
away because all you need to begin the process is right in you! so whether you think you can or can't you are always right. IT' S UP TO YOU!

Your billionaire-friend!

GOD IS ABLE ! LESSONS ON GOD'S ABILITY

GOD IS ABLE ! LESSONS ON GOD'S ABILITY

1. GOD IS ABLE: I understand that God is unlimited in His ability: God's might is unlimited. He is able to do the impossible and extra
ordinary.

2. GOD CANNOT BE STRANDED: No matter what God cannot and will never be stranded. At times He shows up at the 11th hour, but
He is never late. He likes to show when you think all hope is lost.

3: God is ABle to do whatever he says he will do

3. God's Ability must find expression through us:We are the carrier for God's wonderddul abilities, the media through which they will find full expression.


God is Able!

MARRIAGE LESSONS FROM A FACEBOOK POST








WORDS FROM A FATHER TO A SON ABOUT MARRIAGE

1. My son, if you keep spending on a woman and she never asked you if you’re saving or investing, and she keeps enjoying the attention, don’t marry her.

2. My son, a woman could be a good wife to you, some could be a good mother to your children but if you’ve found a woman like a mother to you, your children and your family, please don’t let her go.

3. My son, don’t confine the position of your wife to the kitchen, where did you get that from? Even in our days, we had farm-lands where they worked every morning . . . that was our office.

4. My son, if I tell you that you’re the head of the house, don’t look at your pocket; look if you will see a smile on your wife’s face.

5. My son, if you want to have a long life, let your wife be in-charge of your salary, it will be difficult for her to spend it when she’s aware of the home needs and bills to pay but if it’s in your care, she will keep you asking even when all has been spent.

6. My son, don’t ever beat your woman, the pain in her body is nothing to be compared to the wound on her heart and that means you may be in trouble living with a wounded woman.

7. My son, now that you’re married, if you live a bachelor kind of life with your wife, you will soon be single again.

8. My son, in our days, we had many wives and many children because of our large farm-lands and many harvests, there are hardly any land for farming anymore, so embrace your woman closely.

9. My son, under the cocoa tree that I did meet your mother could be your eateries and restaurants of nowadays, but remember, the closet thing we did there was to embrace each other.

10. My son, don’t be carried away when you start making more money, instead of spending on those tiny legs that never knew how hard you worked to get it, spend it on that woman that stood by you all along.

11. My son, when I threw little stones or whistled at the window of your mother father’s house, to call her out, it was not for sex, it was because I missed her so much.

12. My son, remember, when you say your wife has changed, there could be something you’ve stopped doing too.

13. My son, your mother, Asake rode the bicycle with me before I bought that tortoise car outside there, any woman that won’t endure with you in your little beginning should not enjoy your riches.

14. My son, don’t compare your wife to any woman, there are ways she’s enduring you too and has she ever compared you to any man?

15. My son, there is this thing you people call feminism, well, if a woman claim to have equal right with you in the house, divide all the bills into two equal parts, take one part and ask her to start paying the other part.

16. My son, I met your mother a virgin and I took more yams to her father, if you don’t meet your wife a virgin, don’t blame her, what I didn’t tell you is that our women had prestige.

17. My son, I didn’t send your sisters to school because I was foolish like many to think a female child won’t extend my family name, please don’t make that mistake, the kind of female achievers I see nowadays has made the male-gender an ordinary tag.

18. My son, your mother have once locked up the cloth I was wearing and almost tore it because she was angry, I did not raise my hand to beat her because of a day like this, so that I can be proud to tell you that I never for once beat your mother.

19. My son, in our days, our women had more of natural beauty, though I wouldn’t lie to you, some had minor painting of their appellation mostly on their arms, the ones you people now call tattoo, but don’t forget that they didn’t expose any part of their body like your women of nowadays.

20. My son, your mother and I are not interested in what happens in your marriage, try to handle issues without always coming to us.

21. My son, remember I bought your mother’s first sewing machine for her, help your wife achieve her dreams just as you’re pursuing yours.

22. My son, don’t stop taking care of me and your mother, it’s a secret of growing old and having children to take care of you too.

23. My son, pray with your family, there is a tomorrow you don’t know, talk to God that knows everything, everyday.
