APPENDIX
PREFACE
In this world that we live in today where many things that are available at our disposal are quiet a puzzle to us, unknown to most of us, deep inside we possess the ability to discern these things, just as most of these things are individualized other than been thought in classroom and that’s what makes the difference between us all.
For that reason, there is a need for self-education because every greatness uniquely defined, comes out of the river that flows within you, as the same springs without you.
Under pressure, everyone can form a diamond in themselves.
We have tried to master a different set of skills in life, all with the belief that it will make us better but unknowingly to us, chasing after the same path will only define us like others and for that effect, it restrains or hinders us from achieving a certain height uniquely from
the rest but the truth is, just as our face differs, so is our potential when we explore it.
This book is written to entertain, address and enlighten individuals that are inclined to business, politics and also interested in any form of power, as these subjects are always interwoven, just as you cannot do business without politics likewise you cannot do politics without business while both can lead to corridors of power.
It’s a fair truth that people might not want to believe because they have successfully been thought that either one especially politics is designed for an individual to serve the audience, however, there is always a hidden motive to it because 99% of individuals that aspire for places of power in the government always have a hidden agenda that they won’t admit to anyone in public, just as Robert Greene the author of 48 laws of power will say “conceal your intentions”.
The sole reason for this book is that the number one rule in making wealth is there is no rule to how you
make it, it’s always persistence, constant evolving, being brave, intelligence, and integrity, although the word integrity is vast and it almost absent in the world that we live in today, but instead it is assumed integrity because no one is perfect.
It is in my interest to put down my inspirations into written form with the believe that one day it will be an answer to someone’s question, enlightenment to someone’s path, an idea for a solution to someone when solving their own problems, just as when said education is the key, I feel when you can think, write and read you have found your key, so you decide which door you will like to open.
Again, the intention of this book is to enlighten individuals, and society as a whole especially those that are willing to climb higher places in life, in achieving their goals.
This serves as a guide and an eye-opener for you to know about what goes around you in the dark, open, and in secret.
When you read this story, you stand a chance of understanding a wider perspective of how the world evolves and how you can take advantage of such circumstances and situations that you might find yourself in in the future.
I promise you, just as I took my time to write this book with sincerity, regardless of no limitations but just as how I was inspired to write this book, knowing fully that this work is given to me for the sake of someone and you could be that one person.
Waving this book away, you might be kicking against knowledge destined for you, this is not just a story but a blend of business and street which I believe is a perfect blend.
Just like no one ever told you that the Elite you see calm and tame can also be dangerous and fierce.
