Manifest Success “My dad is my biggest fan, always in my corner, always trying to encouraging me to be better, both in my actions and how I think about things. He always says, ‘The one thing is life you can control is how you think about things.’ (whispered) I hate to say it, but it’s true! My dad is really into the spiritual, philosophical side of self-development – by virtue of your thoughts you can manifest success. He lives that dream – growing up one of nine in Nigeria, a war-torn country, coming to America, getting his PhD from Columbia, he truly believes that he manifests his own success mentally. But sometimes you want to scream; you want to have a pity party, and it’s not an option.”
I’ll say “Oh God, it’s such a crappy day.”
He’ll say, “Nkechi, control that thought.”
I think, “again!?”
Pursuing the Win-win “I learned how to be persuasive from my dad; my dad could sell you a broken watch. He’s all about the win-win philosophy – make it so that they win and you win. Whenever I hit a roadblock politically at Smith, I would try to rejigger it to make it a win, win.”
