motivation: Secrets of my success — Folorunsho Alakija


Africa's richest woman, Folorunsho Alakija,
has remained an enigma of sorts even as she hit international limelight as the woman who beat Oprah Winfrey to the number two spot on the Forbes black women rich list.

Many aspiring women will however find inspiration as she gave a peek into her very essence recently at her inauguration as Chancellor of Osun State University recently, while sharing nuggets of wisdom or "Wisdom pills" that have helped her over the years.

Do not accept ''No" for an answer – Many doors were shut in my face but I refused to
give up and kept going back and it paid off; see where I am today.

Motivation: WHY TODAY MATTERS

"Today is not just any ordinary day. Today is a day that matters.

Today you will have the choice to make a difference in your life and those around you.

Today you will have the choice to smile rather than frown, be grateful rather than selfish, lift up rather than put down, accept rather than reject and love rather than hate.

Today you will have the choice of seeking hope for the future or remain in the hopelessness of the past.
