Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing
Keep the main thing the main thing. Focusing on the gold medal at the beginning of an event is the ultimate purpose, of your entering and preparing to become the best at all you can be. No athlete strives for the bronze or better yet silver; each desires the gold, to be first, to be the champion. Though ‘there is many a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip, keeping the main thing the main thing is pivotal to success. In this a year of the World Olympics, to be held in London, Jamaica is considered the sprint capital of the world and having many world leading sprinters at the top of their games in the track and field arena.

Portraits of God's Love
Perhaps the most well know and used text I the Bible is John 3:16; this portion of scripture emphasises the reason Christ laid down His life on Calvary for the salvation of the human family. John says that reason is love. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” It is this same John who helps us to understand why God can only act out of love in 1 John 4: 8 where he points out that God is Love. However, we cannot see God directly so He has painted several portraits of himself: we see that portrait in the life of His son Christ Jesus that is why Christ said, when you see me you see the Father; we see Him in his creation, that is why the Psalmist David said in Psalm 19 that “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork;” indeed, human beings have also been tasked with that responsibility – to show forth God’s love. This photographic review gives us a glimpse, a portrait of God’s love.

How Debt Relief, Diaspora Bonds, Made Okonjo-Iweala Top Global Thinker
MINISTER of Finance and Coordinating Minister for the Economy, Dr. Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, needs no introduction — not just as a result of last week’s news of her making the list of top 100 Global Thinkers alongside President Obama and French President Nicholas Sarkozy. Having traversed the global economic space as World Bank managing director, with a diplomatic/political “interregnum” at Nigeria’s Finance and Foreign Affairs Ministries, she has been on global news, a feat the country still needs to leverage in addressing the current ‘litany’ of economic challenges.

Success: The NCU Brand
“Whatever you vividly imagine, ardently desire, sincerely believe, and enthusiastically act upon... must inevitably come to pass!” Paul J. Meyer. Mind you that all happens within the parameters that God has placed around us as human beings. And please do not assume that those parameters are the natural talents that we are born with. Eric Hoffer puts it nicely when he says, “We are told that talent creates its own opportunities. But it sometimes seems that intense desire creates not only its own opportunities, but its own talents.”

NCU: The Road to Success
Success has been said to be more of a journey than a destination. This is especially true when one considers that reaching the destination is determined by the path taken, and therefore does make success more a process than a product. If the path is always taken the destination will be the same; if the process is always followed, the same product will result. Success is a predictable process.
