The Danger of More

"The truth will set you free. But first, it will piss you off" - Gloria Steinem To begin with, we have all heard the local parlance that 'more is never enough' which speaks volume sequel to the topic of our discussion today. By nature, man (woman inclusive) is an insatiable creature - meaning we always want to have more. Both antiquity and civilizations has proven this fact. In fact, history has it that it is one of the major sources of curiousity in inventions. However, success is good. We all want the taste of success. But success could be dangerous. Success oftentime breeds HUBRIS! And many great men and women fell because of this subtle force on the plate of invincibility. So also is the desire for More. Yes i know you want to add new strategies and systems to your existing gameplan in your business in order to offer more satisfying experience to your customers. But don't develop an 'Entitlement mentality' all in the process of acquiring more. Entitlement mentality is when a person or persons want what someone else has and does not appreciate what they have and what they have earned nothing is ever enough. Guess what? Crimes, corrupt acts etc., could set in. So, begin to ask yourself questions..... Get creative with what you have as you walk through the threshingfloor of Innovation. Remember, change begins at home! AkinTolaSpeaks
