Ecclesiates 9:11 (AKJV):" I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happens to them all."
I started revealing stories behind stories of very successful men and women in history yesterday. I got so much positive feedback about Bill Gates yesterday. And thank you for allowing me to impact your life.
But allow me to tell you today about a man you hardly know...does the name BILL JOY ring a bell?
This is the man who is referred by many as the Edison of the Internet. You are probably reading this through the Internet but you don't know, is the fact that the whole Internet or this network of networks is based on the most powerful network operating system called UNIX.
Bill Joy arrived in the University of Michigan in 1971. He was brilliant in mathematics and everyone thought that he was going to be a mathematician or a biologist. He started programming in his first year at Michigan and it was only after his 10000 hours of practice that he rewrote UNIX which became the foundation of Internet as we know it.
His father says he was very inquisitive when he was young, and they could answer him if they could, and if they couldn't, they gave him the book.
Let me submit to you, Destiny Partner that Michigan University was one of the first universities in America to have a computer centre...and Bill Joy had the opportunity to practise.
What appears to you as an extra ordinary talent is really extra opportunities. He practised and today he is called The Thomas Edison of the Internet.
You are what you repeatedly do. practise, practise and practise.You must never wake up to come to work and feel that it is work. It must be the practise session. I don't want work that doesn't bring me close to what i was born to do. That's why i am still a lecturer...talking is my forte..i have been practising for 6 years. I have made my 10000 hours.
Have you..?
I am always amazed by people who like imitating other people...you see TJ Malamule or Thapelo Jonas today and you think you can be as captivating as them in motivational speaking. You don't know my hours. I practised.
Spending 5 years in varsity doesn't make you a Fine Doctor...practise does...you need atleast 7 to 10 years of practise to be one.
Count yours....
Yours In Motivation...
