Resistance in life is an indication of progress; it is important I mention this since most people interpret resistance (what some people call challenges or problems) as a bad thing. For those who experienced Physics in their secondary school days, the electric circuit may paint a good picture of the importance of resistance to producing […]
There is one particular dilemma that keeps haunting me “finding a balance between the “ideal” and the “reality”. The ideal appears “unattainable” while the reality is a “no-go area”. If by any chance, we experience the “ideal” in our minds and face the “reality”, there is a confliction and consequently a constraint that hinders most […]
For the past week, I have been getting calls and emails from guys who want more out of life rather than the 8-6, Mon-Fri, work cycle; I could detect frustration and hopelessness in their voice viz-a-viz the emails. I have been in this position several times in my life while in paid employment and most […]
The above picture is a snap shot of the “Ice 4 Days” Seminar that held on Saturday, 10th of April and my first statement during the presentation may have led me to this article; My name is Dipo Tepede; I am a regular guy like all of you and I appreciate your taking your time […]
It’s unlike moi to watch the Oscars late but this year, I was a week late; it was glamorous and fun as usual but a statement made by one of the Oscar recipient struck me – the winner of the best supporting actress in the female category, Monique, in her superb role in the movie; […]

Handling rejection is not easy infact I dare say it is the true path to generating lasting wealth. It’s not really good news that after just announcing that a thousand staffs were laid off from Bank PHB, a new 1200 staffs would be laid off by Intercontinental Bank. These executives have been rejected by the […]
More than six thousand executives have been asked to resign from the banking industry in the last three months and it appears as if there is no end to this matter as fresh one thousand people were advised to resign from Bank PHB. There are two ways to interpret this scenario (no matter the side […]
These are definitely two words that scare the living day light out of almost every executive although endearing words have been cooked up to replace them “ from downsizing to laying off. The effect is the same; the fact that some group of people that wanted you suddenly found you repulsive for whatever reason (I […]
Immediately you saw this picture, what was your first impression? It is important you take 2 minutes to reflect on this. The impression you get from this particular picture says a lot about you; when I saw this picture, I laughed so hard and tears started flowing from my eyes. The picture was quite ridiculous […]
Actually, this post is not for everybody – it’s for some group of courageous guys that have been contemplating leaving their 8-6 work. The red and the blue pill have been placed in front of them and their heart is consciously leaning towards the red pill. I am actually having these disturbing feelings that after […]
Somehow, somewhat, I have been getting a lot of invitations for functions with each person telling me how important my presence would be. Seriously, functions are not my thing especially the ones that do not have any “learning” theme. Well, in order to maintain my friendship with these people, I got to compromise; tough luck! […]
