MOTIVATONAL MONDAY

Image
Motivation is what gets you started. Habit is what keeps you going. Success is simple. Do what’s right, the right way, at the right time. You don’t have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great. People know you for what you’ve done, not for what you plan to do. Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there. There is always a little more toothpaste in the tube. Think about it. You need a plan to build a house. To build a life, it is even more important to have a plan or goal. Everyone has a will to win but very few have the will to prepare to win. Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle. If people knew how hard I had to work to gain my mastery, it wouldn’t seem wonderful at all. In all words...Never, never, never, never give up.

Adele Wins Big In The Grammy Awards Instead Of Beyonce

Adele won record of the year at the 2017 Grammy Awards but said in her speech that she could not accept the award because Beyoncé should have won. The shocking moment - that took place at the end of the night - left Beyoncé and Adele in tears. Adele won for her album, 25. Beyoncé was nominated for her visual album Lemonade which Adele refers to in her speech. Even though Adele flubbed her live performance at the Grammys, she walked away the belle of the ball: She took home five awards Sunday night, including album, record and song of the year. She beat Beyoncé in the top three categories with her comeback album 25, and repeated her accomplishments from 2012, when the British star also won album, song and record of the year at the Grammys. She used her speech to say that Beyoncé should have won the big award for her groundbreaking Lemonade album, which was also nominated. "The way you make my friends feel, the way you make my black friends feel is empowerin...

FAILURE IS THE SIGN OF SUCCESS COMING SOON...DON'T GIVE UP

As a man was passing by,he saw some elephants, he suddenly stopped, confused by the fact that these huge creatures were being held by only a small rope tied to their front leg. No chains, no cages. It was obvious that the elephants could, at anytime, break away from their bonds but for some reason, they did not. He saw a trainer nearby and asked why these animals just stood there and made no attempt to get away. “Well,” trainer said, “when they are very young and much smaller we use the same size rope to tie them and, at that age, it’s enough to hold them. As they grow up, they are conditioned to believe they cannot break away. They believe the rope can still hold them, so they never try to break free.” The man was amazed. These animals could at any time break free from their bonds but because they believed they couldn't, they were stuck right where they were. Like the elephants, how many of us go through life hanging onto a belief that we cannot do something, simply be...

INSPIRATIONAL STORY TO LEARN FROM

Image
A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train’s window shouted… “Dad, look the trees are going behind!” Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity, suddenly he again exclaimed… “Dad, look the clouds are running with us!” The couple couldn't resist and said to the old man… “Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?” The old man smiled and said…“I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today.” Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you.                                                                           #JeremyWesleyBlog  #DreamAchievas           ...

Image
Two people have been arrested in London over a suspected hack of Washington DC's police surveillance system. A man and a woman, both understood to be 50, were arrested in Natal Road, Streatham, on 19 January, the National Crime Agency (NCA) has revealed. Data storage was reportedly compromised between 12 and 15 January, days before President Donald Trump's inauguration. The suspects, believed to be a British man and a Swedish woman, have been bailed until April. An NCA spokeswoman would not confirm why the individuals were arrested. She said "Inquiries are ongoing and we are unable to provide further information at this time."

City officials were left unable to record, forcing major citywide re-ins...

DER SPIEGEL: TRUMP'S BEHEADING COVER SPARKS CRITICISM

Image
Germany's influential weekly news magazine Der Spiegel has come under fire for a cover image showing US President Donald Trump beheading the Statue of Liberty. Some German newspapers criticised the cartoon, while the German vice-president of the European Parliament called it "tasteless". The cartoonist, Edel Rodriguez, said the image represented "the beheading of democracy". US-German relations have deteriorated under President Trump, who has criticised the policies of German Chancellor Angela Merkel. He said last month that her policy of welcoming masses of migrants who arrived in Germany had been a "catastrophic mistake". His trade adviser also recently attacked Germany for gaining unfair trade advantages from a "grossly undervalued" euro. The front cover image is similar to one  that appeared on the front page of the New York Daily News  in December 2015, also showing Mr Trump beheading the Statue of Liberty but in a less gory...

US REVERSES TRAVEL BAN OVER COURT RULING AS TRUMP FUMES

The US authorities have rolled back a controversial travel ban on people from seven mainly Muslim countries after a judge suspended it. The state department said it was reversing the cancellation of visas, 60,000 of which were revoked after President Donald Trump's order. Judge James Robart ruled there were legal grounds to challenge the ban. Mr Trump reacted furiously, calling Mr Robart's ruling "ridiculous" and vowing to restore his ban. People affected by the ban treated news of the suspension warily as airlines began allowing them to board flights to America on Saturday.
