You Work At Your Best If Power Supply Is Erratic? Ideas To Help You Develop Yourself To Achieve Your FULL Potential |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
I am not sure how many of you on my mailing list know what it feels like to have to endure extremely erratic power supply on a daily basis from your country's power generation company. I certainly know that those of you living/working in Ghana and Cameroon are used to having uninterrupted power supply and when I visited those countries in the past, most of those I spoke with found it very difficult comprehending my assertion that in my country a person could go for days without having power supply restored to his house - even as his neighbour continues having it! Why am I writing about this? It's because I want you all to understand the conditions under which all the news, articles, reports and resources you find on my website are created daily. Many times, I have to type for say 30 minutes, then stop because the lights have gone out. Then maybe four hours later continue typing when the power is restored. As you can imagine, since I earn my living by building software, websites and writing articles - all of which require a PC/access to the net and of course electricity, I have to find a way to progress work given me by paying clients if I want to make profits. So you find many people out here have to own generators and buy fuel into kegs for use in these generators EVERY single day. But that would not be so bad if the fuel was always available - but it often tends not to be! Day in day out we find that fuel shortages cause long queues to build up at the fuel stations! A long vicious cycle that affects this nation's productivity and wealth generation severely. For those of you who live in countries where your power supply is so regular that you have no local markets for generators and kegged fuels, I want you to know how BLESSED you are, and that you NEED to be grateful for it. The money that should be left over in a barber's pockets out here at the end of each day very often gets spent on generator fuel and maintenance DAILY whether s/he likes it or not. At your end, the cyber cafe owner never has to quickly run down stairs to switch on his generator because power supply has suddenly gone off, and users browsing in his cafe may lose their work online! One more thing. The epileptic power supply problem has always been a feature of our lives here in Nigeria. But in 2007, it has really gone much worse. In the past two weeks, I estimate that I have not had light for more than four hours in ONE single day - and even that was NOT for a continuous stretch. It is always a case of ON, then OFF, then ON again. If you don't believe me, come on a trip to Nigeria and stay in a hotel for a few hours(I assure you that's all you'll need - just a few hours), and like a Ghanaian friend who was here on official work two years ago, you'll quickly learn that what I say is true from hearing the hotel's standby generator go ON and OFF, then ON and OFF...again and again! On a lighter note, in your country the first word that a baby learns to say may be "daddy" or "mummy". Out here very often a baby's first word is "NEPA!" - which is what our power generation company(National Electric Power Authority) is known by - though they now officially go by "PHCN" - whatever difference that has made. Having said all the above, I am quite proud to note that despite all these challenges and limitations in MY socioeconomic environment, I have continued to forge ahead in my work, improving DAILY - as can be seen on my website and mini-sites. My clients profiles have risen, and the fees I earn have quadrupled since the start of the new year! How have I achieved this despite all these debilitating challenges posed by the unpredictability of my social environment? The answer is that I know how to habitually deliver peak performances by getting into and STAYING in "flow" or the "Zone". If you want to know what that means, and how you can learn to do the same thing, read my feature article for this week by clicking the link below! <Click here to continue reading>
