Leke Alder -THE PHILOSOPHY OF UNDER ACHIEVEMENT part 2

January 4, 2008deolaentrepreneur1 comment

 

this is the concluding aspect of leke’s philisophy of underachievement

12 Close very early even when your peers are slaving away. After all, that millionaire closes at 1pm and he makes more money than those who work till late.

13 Don’t work hard, work smart.

14 Always depend on external stimuli. A carrot and a stick work just fine. Make sure you’re not internally motivated. Indeed, don’t develop any drive, after all you’re not a motor car.

15 Desire the best of everything but depend on luck to bring them your way. Play lotto and gamble. It’s all a matter of luck!

16

Accept excuses. When you give your staff an assignment, accept his excuse that it’s not his discipline or field of study. Why make a creative individual do numbers?

17 When you attend business meetings dress carelessly. It’s your skills they want not your looks. And don’t prepare for the meeting. You know you can always bluff your way through. Just parry the questions. And speak in general terms.

18 See yourself as the Great I am. You are totally indispensable to any client. Others are disposable razors, but not you. Let the clients know you’re doing them a favour. A big favour!

19 Sleep a lot. Wellness programs recommend a minimum of 8 hours of sleep a day. And don’t forget your siesta.

20 Develop a victim mentality. People are just envious of you, especially when they correct your work.

21 Lastly, don’t read or study further. What you learnt 10 years ago is still relevant. You left school many years ago, and you’ve paid your dues. Let others do the reading.

this is a product of real mind searching and a true representation of what is affecting this generation, a lot believe that it’s all about luck no need for too much hard work.
How I wish there is a way you can take this to the coming generation vis-a-vis the youngsters in primary and nursery schools, I believe that their minds are still malleable.

More strength to your mind…
