Our Faith

chapter 01

I was standing on a stage, dressing all white, putting on a white trouser and a white T-shirt with a white jacket, dropping the hood on my back, with a white P-cap facing front, and a white timberland shoe, resting my hands on the table, the auditorium is filled with people and silent hit every corner of the auditorium everyone's attention is with me as am given them a very touching lecture.

"Everyone have a dream to become something great, to break a record that no one has ever broken. But the question bordering everyone is, from where do I begin? Everything you see on this earth, every little thing you see, are opportunities, knowing how to use these opportunities matter, some people are found very lucky, because they know where their strength and weakness lies, so they use that to achieved their dream but knowing were your strength and weakness lies, does not guaranteed your success it's only an assurance that you've achieved 50% of your dream, then you start focusing, praying and trying, keep trying, trying and trying, never give up, until you achieved your dream, many do start and later give up, simply because someone with the same dream line achieved his dream before you achieved yours, the question here is, when u start dreaming that dream of yours, who told you that your the only one dreaming that kind of a dream? Who told you that, there won't be any competition? Who told you that if someone with a similar dream achieved his dream yours can't be recognise nor achieved? All u need is determination and hard working".

"Now Following the founding of the NBA in 1946, Chuck Taylors quickly became the most popular sneakers in the league. But by the 1980s, the competition namely, Nike, Adidas, Reebok, and Puma had gotten fiercer. Flash forward to 1998, and Converse was claiming just 2.3% of the market share.

Another example is that of LEGO, battling among themselves.
In the late '90s, LEGO became obsessed with expanding their brand via new, innovative product designs. And while that might have sounded good in theory, in practice it meant manufacturing thousands of new, unique pieces, and promoting action figure-esque toys that had little connection to the classic LEGO brick systems.

LEGO felt the repercussions of this strategy decision in 2003, when the company lost $300 million on the year and projected a loss of $400 million for the following year. Turns out all those crazy new designs LEGO created had never actually resonated with their target audience: kids. So when Jorgen Vig Knudstorp took over as CEO in 2004, he took a new approach to LEGO product design: Ask the kids what they want.
And as LEGO discovered, kids didn't want to play with pre-built, LEGO-branded action figures. They wanted to build . So LEGO got rid of all those new, super-fancy pieces they had introduced in the late '90s, and had their marketing team (who had done extensive research) work with the product designers to make sure they were creating LEGO lines that kids actually wanted.

In 2006, LEGO commissioned the agency Blattner Brunner to create a campaign that reflected this new direction. "Imagine" got back to LEGO basics by showing classic bricks casting shadows that resembled more complex objects, imitating how kids use their imaginations when building with LEGO. This Cannes Lions award-winning campaign signaled LEGO's incredible comeback.
In 2015, which LEGO declared its best year ever , the company brought in $5.2 billion in revenue, making LEGO the second biggest toy company in the world.

The differences are simple. hardworking, dedication and lots more. Had it been Nike and others though that chuck Taylor is already in the market, bringing Nike in won't be a good idea. Today there won't be Nike sneakers nor even the name in the market,"

Lecture is over so I came dawn the stage, shaking hands, exchanging greetings, taking selfie and signing some autograph, then I heard from a far distance a pleasant voice, talking to me and coming towards my direction.

"Hi am Josephine Jackson, am a great fan of yours, I attended most of your lectures worldwide, listen to some on a radio station and watch some on a television. Can I have your autograph please?"

I could not move my eyes from her face, My eyes were staring deep into her face, she is fair with this giant black eyes, she has this kind of a pointing Norse and a curvy hips, dress all black, putting on a black Jean trouser, black T-shirt, black Gucci shoe and tidying her head with a black head tie. I've never seen such a beautiful face, nor had such a pleasant voice before, is this true? Is this real? Or maybe my eyes were just seeing something else,

"Hey Joe" she shouted. "Am very sorry sweetheart something caught my attention, so sorry for that," I apologized "but honestly your very beautiful," she blushed, "may I have your card please?" I asked. What came out of her mouth was the least I expected "I thought your different, i never thought you're the same as others," she seems very upset and speaks in annoyances "you know what? I don't even need your autograph," she hisses turn around and walk out of the Hall furiously.

So I whispered to Sammy my personal assistant ear, " please get me her detail," he answered "yes sir" although Sammy is my personal assistant, his also like a friend, like a brother, I consult him most of the time whenever I need some advice's, and also asked him to do all my dirty work, but this case is different. I don't really know if it's love but there is this feeling, that I want to spent sime time.
