Words are driving force from where inspirations are derived, ultimately gingering people into actions. Words of the wise and successful people when carefully followed form great wonders in our quest for success and excellence in various pursuits. From the words of great men gone, to words of men of note still alive, we serve you a compilation of what this famed achievers said about many aspects of life, and how they achieved laurels on their ways to the top of various human endeavors. From the great marketer, Michelangelo, to the wonderful pianist (and former prime minister of Poland), Jan Paderewski; from Jimoh Ibrahim (CEO, Global Fleet Oil and Gas) to Philip Emeagwali (father of the internet, and the man behind the fastest computer fame); from Ekwere Peters (who developed a device that detects the location and level of oil in a rock) to the Nobel Laureates, Professor Wole Soyinka, the keywords have remained determination and positivism. The same is true of the "Mathematical" Gabriel Oyibo, Warren Buffet (one of the richest men in the world), Bill Gates who at thirteen developed deep interest in Software Engineering ( and worked relentlessly to the top in what is known as Microsoft corporations - world's leading producer of software products) becoming at a time, world's richest man! Certainly, Socrates, Aristotle, Shakespeare, Galileo, Einstein, Jacobi, Hooke, Pythagoras, Newton, Faraday, Plato, Boyd, Edison and others who achieved feats at one time or the other were humans like every one of us. The difference is that they lived above distractions to stamp their feet on the sands of all times. And people have also been following their footsteps to the top. Those who know the life history of the football star, Ronaldo (who won countless awards including FIFA World's Footballer of the Year 1996 and 1997) will testify it was not an easy ride to the top for him. He surely paid his due. So frustrated in life at some time, Ronaldo had this to say, " It was an extremely hard and never ending ordeal for me and I never want to suffer like that again. My family, physiotherapists and doctors all encouraged me to persevere and it worth it". This agonizing statement came after his two major knee injuries and consequent series of operations around 2000/2001. Surely, it took Ray Kroc stages of experiences before he got to the top with his McDonalds Stores fame which is a household name in several parts of U.S.A. even till this day. Consider the lives of Martin Luther King Jnr, Abraham Lincoln and Thomas Edison. It is no crime to fall, but it pays to know that the man with tall ambition, and who sincerely wants to get there, can't be pinned down by inconsequential excuses. So, inspire your life, and get on the ladder of life to climb. No memory is kept of the man who succumbed to the pressures of live. Popular Authors, Scholars, Engineers, Scientist, and learned people in various fields of human endeavors, have been referenced corresponding with their views in the various headings into which this text is divided. Where no one is quoted but asterisks (****) exist, the statement is devised by me. Be inspired as you go through this work, and never to remain the same.
