Special Leadership G.O.T B.O.R.N Series

Let me break the silence. Articles on Leadership GOT BORN newsletter is back!

It’s been over a month that I posted the last article on my LinkedIn Newsletter. Such a long time!!

Sometimes, some ‘projects’ suffer when other ‘project’ of ‘higher calling’ comes on stream.

Strangely, the streams of original nuggets have slowed down. The latest nugget#165 was posted over four weeks ago!!!

I can blame that on something and trust me, there’s a genuine reason behind the slow-down.

During conducive moments – and strictly outside office hours (of course) - my mind is focused on supporting my brain and hands in ‘indicting’ a great thing.

By now, you (probably) know that I am working on a book project (my first by the way…?? )

The manuscripts for few chapters are ready and I still have double the number to finalize.?In the mix, the book cover is being drafted as well.

I will be asking for your support in choosing the preferred book cover in due course.

Now, below is the “’Group of Ten’ ‘Block of Refreshing Nuggets’” – G.O.T B.O.R.N series for this edition. A 'tithe' of which is mine…??

?1. “If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal. Not to people or things” - Albert Einstein

2. “Let the word burn through you. Throw the prism light, white hot, on paper” - Ray Bradbury

3. “If your life were a book and you were the author, how would you want your story to go? That's the question that changed my life forever” - Amy Purdy

4. “Every secret of a writer's soul, every experience of his life, every quality of his mind, is written large in his works” - Virginia Woolf

5. “Authors by the hundreds can tell you stories by the thousands of those rejection slips before they found a publisher who was willing to 'gamble' on an unknown” - Zig Ziglar

6. Be loud about the things that are important to you. Karen Walrond.

7. “You can't be a good writer without being a devoted reader” - J.K Rowling

8. “Own your own story” - Ali Edwards

9. “When writers die, they become books which is, after all, not too bad an incarnation” - Jorge Luis Borges

10. “Accept that every human being errs. It helps focus on issues and not personality. There-in you find inner peace and joy” - Amos Ologunleko

Lastly, I received another boost from my recent encounter with iconic musician, actress, administrator and leader. The autographed copy of her book will remain an indelible inspiration on my book project and through life. Thank you - legendary Madam Onyeka Onwenu!
