From Southern Africa - 'Ripley’s VS Bill Gates'

Many African communities feel like life should be a comfort zone. This was confirmed by a tourist into Swaziland. His understanding of high crime rates in South African is that people don’t want to work but they want the money. God given money making methods demand that people work to earn a living. Having been an entrepreneur for some time now, I understand that there is something to learn from those that have made visible success  in life. I will quote Bill Gates because I’m writing this article on his product, the word processor. We may think he was one lucky person but I want to bring in the Ripley’s Believe It or Not programmes that runs in our TVs.

 

It’s a given that we learn from others and if we copy their model, we are also likely to experience similar achievements like they have. Religion is one major example that is commonly used to convince people of this fact. All religions have leaders to look up to, and they only lead by example. Even if you are not a believer, you surely have some religion that you admire for what the leaders behave and lead their lives.

 

The world knows the story of Gates’ successes and failures, similarly, Ripley’s featured people and animals have once in a while failed and sustained serious injuries, for some even to the point of surgery. I bring other different lesson than that special ingredient that makes people succeed - ‘“FOCUS” Makes Success in Business and Life Strategy – Part 2’.  This ingredient has made me earn from each of the articles I have written since 2004 when I started this internet marketing journey. Today I can safely say that from using this ingredient, ‘An Article to a Directory Makes Me R 20/$ 2.50 Richer’ and there is ‘ An African Money Maker that Works for Me’.
