THE POWER OF COLLABORATION

Copied...

We need to collaborate and co strategize like the ants , the white men for 1 percent of 100million is better than 100percent of personal effort without results .....Pick a random foreign song you love. Google the song on Wikipedia. You'd observe something. If you don't, pick another song and repeat the process. 
You'd be amazed at the collaborative efforts that goes into these songs we all love. It could be A's idea. Then he'd share it with B. B would suggest C to fine tune it. But it is still D that would be the best person to interpret it. After all said and done E would be called to add the ingredients that would make it appealing without losing the original essence. When E is done, F would be called to assemble it from abstract to concrete. F would do the PR after all, if it is good but no one hears it, what's the point... See the trend? 
.
But here, no. Someone will have a brilliant idea and because of morbid fear (valid by the way) of another person going ahead with it without his consent or even knowledge, a beautiful idea dies. We have not encouraged corroborative efforts. We still don't appreciate the fact that we can do more when we harness our strength. Every day brilliant ideas die because we don't share with the right people that can bring it to life. Look at those that decide to do alone. They almost always come out with substandard. 
.
As for me, I will keep sharing. Ideas fall on me. I don't create them really. And I believe my source of inspiration can never run die. Maybe I am a fatalist after all. What will be will be. The idea that will bring breakthrough won't be stolen no matter who you share it with. If it is stolen, it is not the one. Another would come. 
.
Look at this social platform called facebook for example. On our friend list, there are people that without making an irrational sacrifice can pool resources together and make a dream come through. Any dream. 
.
But we all love the comfort zone of playing safe. I pity youths below 30 playing safe. Take chances. Identify those that can make your dreams come through and share it with them today. Life is give and take. There's always more from where whatever inspires us come from. Allow people to invest in your dream. People make people. People make things happen.

PUT ONLY RUNNERS ON YOUR TEAM

PUT ONLY RUNNERS ON YOUR TEAM Tayo Onaleye John 20.1-4 Team building is a major function of leadership. And broadly speaking, there can just be only two types of people on any team: those who are running with the vision and those who are not. It takes running to actualize any vision. Hab 2:2 And the LORD answered me, and said,Write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.  Only those who are running with the vision will help actualize it. Those on the team who are not running with the vision will eventually ground it. Mat 12:30 He that is not with me is against me; and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad. Running with the vision symbolises PASSION. Hence only those who are passionate about the vision will actually pay the price to see it materialise. Every vision faces challenges. Only those who are passionate about the vision will stick with it for the long haul. Those who are not passionate about the vision ...
