Title: Six Key Ingredients of Greatness
HPA
So far I have come across about 24 ingredients. Today
since we have an hour we will only talk about
Six Key Ingredients of Greatness
HPA
What shocks me about life is that if you take about 100
young ambitious people like you, listen to their dreams and
track them over a period of time you get the same results
described by Earl Nightingale in the strangest secret.
HPA
By the time they are 65 years old only 5% achieve success.
About 1% super wealthy and 4% financially independent.
This happens despite the fact that there are basic
fundamentals to change from yellow to red or green.
Super
wealthy
Financially
independent
Dependent
on a job
Financially
troubled
A success is anyone who is realizing a worthy
predetermined ideal, because that's what he or she
decided to do ... deliberately.
Earl Nightingale
Money is not everything but it sure ranks up there
with oxygen
Zig Ziglar
Most people are successful based on Earl’s definition but why not
embrace Zig’s definition and make money in the process. You can
always give money away to the less fortunate like Bill Gates when
you have too much of it.
HPA
In search of the answers as to why some turn red, some
green while majority remains yellow I read many books and
danced to a lot of music. My life changed in the process.
I hope you will find something useful from my story.

Nick D’Aloisio, 17, sold
His app Summly $30 mil
to Yahoo
Psy's "Gangnam Style"
made YouTube history
with 1 billion views
28-year-old Facebook
founder Mark Zuckerberg is
the youngest billionaire in
the world, with a personal
wealth of US$17 billion
Psy, Mark and Nick aligned their passions with technological
advances and they are young like you. What is stopping you
to be like Nick?
HPA
To be like Nick you need to cut out the noise and make
time to dream and reflect. Otherwise you will be forever
facebooking, inboxing and outboxing etc.
HPA
"The most important thing that affects us is our dreams
—our ability to see the future.
But here's why we don't reach into the future.
We're trapped either by regret of the
past or the routine of the present.
So make sure that the greatest pull on you
is the pull of the future”.

The 2nd ingredient has to do with purpose and motivation
What is the one thing that has ignited
your motivation to do what you do?
Mokgadi decided to research the cure for
HIV/AIDS because her brother died of HIV/AIDS!
Mary is studying to be a social worker so as to
help sexually abused kids because she was
sexually abused when she was young!
HPA
For me, being healed by traditional medicine ignited my
interest to integrate traditional medicine and western
medicine. Hence I studied PhD in Biotechnology, hence I
currently work with traditional healers and scientists, etc.

Take advantage of the law of attraction, it works. Visualise
your dreams and let them serve as a motivator for you to
do what you already know. My dream board looks like:
HPA
Remain balanced and focus on intrinsic motivators too. The
extrinsic motivators are important early in life but overtime it
is the intrinsic motivators that are very important
Extrinsic Motivations
Monetary Compensation
Having Power
Having a Title
Public Recognition
Social Status
Winning over Others
Intrinsic Motivations
Personal Growth
Satisfaction from a Job
Helping others Develop
Finding Meaning in Effort
Being True to ones Values
Making a Difference

“We’re not born with unlimited choices. We can’t be anything we want to be. We come with a specific, personal destiny. We have a
job to do, a calling to enact, a self to become. We are who we are from the cradle, and
we’re stuck with it. Our job in this lifetime is not to shape ourselves into some ideal we
imagine we ought to be, but
Steven Pressfield in The War of Art
to find out who we are already and become it”.

The 4th ingredient is about continuous learning
Qualifications show credibility. So, make sure you collect
certificates when ever you can. It takes a lot of sacrifice but
the rewards exceeds the sacrifices. The fact that I was able
to achieve greatness despite my humble beginning should
be a motivation to you. Be like me and better!
