TALK ME THROUGH THIS!


People, from time to time, attend workshops, seminars, conferences in order to get vital information needed for peak performance in life but one vital truth is that less than 60% of such people get answers to their quest, not because they do not get the right information but the problem is in paying attention to the ‘details’ of the information. 
When a man pays less attention to the details accompanying any information, he can only be an average performer at best! There are very salient details locked into the success system of life and only thorough people can decipher them. 

I was once told of a job aptitude test where applicants were given sixty (60) questions to solve in fifteen minutes; while most of the applicants complained that the time was inadequate, a few of them to paid attention to the instruction written in very small font size on the question paper which reads “answer three questions only!” Majority were trying to solve fast so they can cover more grounds in fifteen minutes yet those who paid attention to details were taking their time to attend to the three questions only! 

It is amazing how detail oriented people get their leverage in life. There are many success stories that have been short lived because of lack of depth! There are people who make resolutions at the beginning of the year with so much zest, enthusiasm, tenacity, drive and optimism to achieve greatness but discover after 365 days that they have been running the ‘rat race’ because of the dearth of depth in their lives. Life circumstances and situations are subdued only with the right details! Too many people are struggling, suffering, toiling through life with no clue on how to better their fortunes; they do not just understand why they have to struggle all the way while others are effortlessly at their peak. 

People passionately want change, they want to excel in all facets of life but their biggest challenge is in the “HOW’’ and you obviously need someone to talk you through this. There are details you need to pay attention to for your business and career to jump, you do not actually need to struggle with ignorance, just know enough!

Most Africans do not like paying attention to details; they are always in a hurry to get things done. They buy electronics, they do not study the manual until it is either faulty or they are unable to get the settings right. Just then will they make reference to the manual only to discover what they should have done from the beginning! To be sincere, this happens to me sometimes. There is a fundamental problem with people who operate this way; they sometimes do first things LAST!

The day a man starts paying attention to details, ‘the committee’ in his head begins work, he gains confidence, uniqueness, precision, exudes excellence and above all, he becomes a trailblazer!
Finally, you will always need superior information to understand the details of life. You need knowledge to talk you through some of these details. Most times people fail in life not because of the lot they know but the little detail they are yet to know.
