Turnig Intelligence Into Productivity: part 2

Diligence invests time, thought, and energy into a project with the hope that it will produce a healthy return. By investing a lot, diligent individuals expect to gain a lot. They realize that what they get out of something depends upon what they are willing to put into it. 

Diligence also finishes what it starts. It counts the cost and sees things through to the bitter end. In fact, for the diligent, the satisfaction of finishing a project is often as meaningful as any praise or recognition they receive from others. 

Diligence also applies to both small and large projects, significant or menial, easy or difficult. It applies the same effort to whatever task is at hand, realizing that anything worth doing is worth doing right.

When the stress and pace of leadership prove unbearable, diligence balances character qualities with one another to overcome hindrances and see projects through to completion. 

Thoroughness focuses on details which can sometimes bog down a project. Diligence pursues resourceful solutions to keep things going.

Orderliness puts everything in its place to achieve greater efficiency. Diligence recognizes how everything is linked together and prevents tidiness from becoming an obsession. 

Endurance refuses to give up, even when things fail. It buys enough time for a diligent person to find alternatives. The role of leadership is not an easy one. However, diligent leaders turn challenges into stepping stones by balancing one character quality with another.

And keep my goal in sight;
I will follow the instructions
So the job will be done right.
Before me lies an open map,
The choice is mine to make.
I’ll live a life of character,
And that’s the road I’ll take!!!!!!

Turning Intelligence Into Productivity!

There are so many intelligent people.

Intelligence can never be equal to results. Results answer to diligence.  

The word diligence comes from diligo, a latin word meaning ''to love earnestly'' the purest diligence results from having an earnest love for  what you do and the purposes for which you do it. tracing diligo back another generation, we find the Latin word di and lego, which means ''to choose''. the ''earnest love'' which motivates diligence is based on choice, not chance. we choose to be diligence because we earnestly desire to do the right thing, not because we happen to stumble into it. 

It is commitment that injects life into intelligence.

Intelligence expresses itself on the platform of diligence i.e. commitment to work without commitment to work intelligence will be lame and impotent.

Failure seems to be a solid formation for success because there is nothing below or worse than failure.

Those who have failed really have nothing more to fear.
 

NEVER, NEVER, NEVER GIVE UP!!!!! by Winston Churchhill
 

When commitment builds it has great possibility to transcend any level of intelligence.

Intelligent people have the tendency to think that they have arrived the peak of their lives while diligent people continue with the process of exploring and developing themselves endlessly. Intelligent people usually think of assuming a state while diligent people just simply keep thinking of changing levels and improving themselves in a process of time.

THOMAS EDISON    ''I WILL''

 I Will:
• finish my projects.
• do a job right.
• follow instructions.
• concentrate on my work.
• not be lazy

 I Will Finish My Projects.

Amelia Earhart said, “It is far easier to start something than to finish it.” As the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean alone, she should know. Indeed, it was far easier for her to take off on her trans-Atlantic flight than to complete the trip. She had to stay awake, stay at the controls, stay on course, and overcome strong headwinds. But despite all these challenges, she finished. Completing a project often requires unexpected sacrifice. It may require students to stay awake a little longer, not leave their work when invited to play, or solve difficult problems instead of giving up and retreating. Amelia Earhart was the first to fly from Honolulu to the U.S. mainland and the first to fly across the United States from east to west and from west to east. However, in 1937 her plane vanished while she was trying to fly around the world. It was the only flight she never finished.

I Will Do a Job Right.

If a job is worth doing, it is worth doing right. Too often, children complete their assignments in a hurried way that compromises the accuracy and thoroughness of their projects. Substandard work then requires additional time to repair, rewrite, or redo. A diligent person remembers, “If I don’t have time to do it right, when will I have time to do it over?”

 I Will Listen to Instructions.

It has been said that when people are working on a wrong track, doubling their efforts just gets them nowhere twice as fast. Diligence makes sure that a person finds the right track and stays on it. Diligent students ask for directions when lost and ask questions when they don’t understand. They read instruction manuals and make every effort count.

I Will Concentrate on My Work.

Distractions come in many shapes and sizes. Diligent students, however, are not sidetracked by noisy classmates, cluttered desks, hushed whispers, ringing telephones, or sleepy eyes. Diligent individuals reject the impulse to daydream, doodle, or delay. They concentrate on one thing at a

time, putting their whole heart into each task set before them. In fact, research suggests that the ability to concentrate is one of the faculties associated with genius.

I Will Not Be Lazy

The sloth is a creature that hangs in the trees of Central and South America, spending its days eating, sleeping, and doing little or nothing else. It moves slower than any other mammal and doesn’t even bother to rid itself of algae growing in its hair. The sloth is so lazy that it will starve for lack

of food rather than exert the energy to look for more. Unfortunately, slothfulness fitly describes children and adults who do as little as possible and let others pick up the slack. Their unwillingness to participate as productive citizens puts a drain on both their families and schools.

 WAYS TO BE DILIGENT  

1. Create concrete goals to work toward.

 This helps you create a realistic plan for reaching your objectives instead of expecting things to "randomly work out." Setting and accomplishing smaller tasks can build your confidence, making it easier to tackle increasingly larger goals. Stay diligent by continually assessing your progress and celebrating your achievements along the way to goal completion.

2 . Establish new personal standards. 

Identify problem areas and think of ways to avoid falling prey to negative behaviors. Although it may be difficult to correct unpleasant habits, it's necessary to build self-confidence. Choosing a role model to emulate can help keep your mind focused on achieving your goals.

3. Find positive outlets to release your stress and doubts.

 

 Managing your stress in constructive ways can restore energy and reduce negativity. Activities such as free-form painting, aerobics and cooking can help keep your spirits high without getting you into trouble. Avoid participating in destructive habits that only serve to distract you from essential tasks. Learning to say "no" without feeling guilty can make others take notice of your inner-strength.

 

4.  Commit to keeping a positive attitude despite your circumstances. 

 

This doesn't mean that you can never express sadness; it means that you can't allow pessimism to overcome you. It's easier to stay true to your ultimate intentions if you lose negative attitudes about yourself and your abilities. Reminding yourself of what makes you special can keep you motivated throughout your efforts.

 

5.  Limit distractions to remain diligent.

 

 Remove negative influences from your life to keep your mind focused on your goals. This includes any relationship or activity that doesn't help you stay committed to your ideals. Realizing that everyone doesn't want you to succeed can help strengthen your resolve to prove your critics wrong.

HOW TO LOVE A MAN

1.Start by Loving Yourself

If you are unable to love yourself you are unable to love someone else. This is what I tell my friends but most Women often have trouble with this because they spend too much time loving others. They can remove themselves out of the picture and use up all their love on others. Please take note my dear sisters, Loving yourself is the basis of life and the basis of a balanced personality, what you don’t have you cannot give. How can you take another’s love for you seriously if you don’t believe you are worth loving?

2. Just Love Him For Himself
 Men have many qualities we love, perhaps they’re strong, or sexy, or inspirational, or funny, or even rich. Understand that this is not why you love him, you love him just because of him, nothing else. Like me I can’t understand why i love Him, all the time I wonder why?

Your love should not be conditional or based on any special qualities. What if these qualities go, what if he becomes poor? Love Him for him. Men, however, often think that it’s their special blend of qualities that attracts you. Encourage your man to understand that it’s not those qualities but their being themselves that you love. 

3. Live In Your Femininity

Whilst you may want to impress the man you love you must not stop being the woman you are. Your love should come from inside yourself, from your very soul. The love must be part of your femininity however you express it  and be part of how you live.

Remain just who you are, be the woman he met and fell in love with, that’s how to love a man.He finds excitement in your femininity, particularly when it laced with love. Don’t ever let him down.

4. Don’t Be His Mother

Men often retain a bond with their mother and like to be looked after by them. Don’t drift into being his mother or try to supercede her. He needs you as a lover.

Women can end up just taking care of their man and men accept this. This is potentially disastrous. He doesn’t really want this from you.

This is especially true after you have children. Take care you still treat him as your lover, this will be what he is missing.

5. Get To Know Him
 listen, listen, and listen. I am someone who always wants to be heard and never listens but thids always gdets mdde into trouble. we needdd to cultivadte a lisdtdening habit by patiently litening to him and studying him in order to know him more. How often do you feel a man drift away from you saying, “my wife doesn’t understand me”. Don’t let him go there, understand him. Love can only grow and deepen through understanding. You can never get to the point where you think you know everything about him, never ever. Even after marriage you will still find pout that there are certain things you don't know about. You may think a man is simple, in fact he is a complex person that even he doesn’t understand. You need to love him and get to know him with patience and determination, this is a key to how to love a man.

6. Count Your Blessings
 That means the blessings you have together name them 1 by 1, the things you have achieved together, all that you are as a couple. This should be a regular part of your life together. It’s ok to recount the great things in the past but this should be tempered with looking at the amazing things you are going to do in the future.  As a rule of thumb it is advisable to expect a future way beyond one that you can imagine. Expectations can lead to frustration if they limit you, expecting them to go way beyond is a good step into the future.

7. Give Him Space

Whilst a woman often needs attention, a man needs space and time. Men thrive on being focused and directed and sometimes need to clear their minds to focus on what is important to them at that moment. Accept it may not be you. It can be important to give him time to respond to a situation. Women often respond immediately, instinctively, but a man can take more time, to reflect and formulate a response. Understand this and give him the time, don’t jump in at all. Yes, you might think otherwise that maybe he doesn't you again but i tell you he does all he needs is a little space and time.

There are times, also, when men need space just to be… well, nothing. Men thrive on periods of emptiness, allow them that. Get this right and you will really know how to love a man.

8. Receive As Well As Give

Love is about giving more than receiving but if you give too much you close off the channel for love. It is crucial that you are able to receive the love that is offerred to you by him otherwise it quickly dies. It may not come in the form you expect, look out for it, however subtle, and accept it in the spirit it was given. Don’t shower him with more love than he can receive. Don't choke him up!!!!!!

9. Make Him Feel Amazing

Men need to feel good about themselves and often don’t. They may live in their power but not be convinced by it. Make him feel he deserves it, make him realise he is the man he would like to be. It’s important to do this from a genuine appreciation of him and his qualities.

He should believe what you say otherwise everything disappears. Inspire him to be more of himself. You have to understand this to know how to love a man.

10. Start Afresh Each Day
 Start again as if it was the first day of the relationship. Welcome him into your world and look forward to your day together. Give him your love and tell him you love him. Do it again in a different way and repeat. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you where to go from here. This applies equally to you and your man. The refreshing of your love will keep it alive and bring you closer to each other. Through this your love will deepen and become an essential part of everyday you spend together.

As a woman you will succeed if make your man feel amazing. Inspire him to feel more of himself, then he will feel like a man…

Thank you.
