To Excel You Must Learn These 6 Crucial Lessons That School Can Never Teach

Be proud of yourself for continuing your education
past traditional schooling. Learning, studying and
investing in yourself doesn’t stop when you
become successful, that’s when it really starts.
The sooner you learn that all the skills you need
to learn to thrive will occur after you leave the
confines of educational conformity, the sooner
you will succeed. Here are six game-changing
ideas that you can’t learn in the classroom.
1. A powerful “why.” Realize that no matter
where you are right now, you can always take it
up a notch. Are you really giving your all daily?
Your possibilities are endless when you
find compelling reasons. The goal is to create a
"why'' so strong that it pulls you through any
challenge, past all doubters and over even your
own limitations. We’re in an economy that now
welcomes the entrepreneur. It’s become easier to
realize your ideal future. It just takes compelling
reasons, clear intentions and the right guidance.

2. Focus on strengths, delegate
weaknesses. Anybody who tells you to focus on
your weaknesses hasn’t experienced consistent
peak performance. The idols you and I respect,
along with all well-known achievers, prospered by
deliberately focusing on their strengths. If you’re
not sure what your strengths are, start
asking people around you. Your strengths
are where you get results and maybe isn’t
always what you love. The goal is the be so good
at your strengths that it propels you to stand out.
Everybody loves doing what they're good at, and
your creativity will flourish if you love what you
do. Focusing on too many things causes you to be
average in many versus exceptional in a few.
3. Habits always trump inspiration. Inspiration is
needed to create consistent action, but your
habits are ultimately going to define your success
or failure. It’s been said that only 5 percent of the
people at seminars and conferences  actually use
what they’ve learned. Why is that? Because
inspiration is very short term. It feels good in the
moment but doesn’t last past the activity
producing it.
In our Game Changers Academy we focus on
shifting habits, gaining better perspective and
interrupting bad thought patterns instead of just
inspiration. The biggest inspiration of all is seeing
progress and results, which comes from new
habits. When you begin the formation of a new
habit, stick to it and see the lasting change in
your new-found life.

4. Mastery vs. information overload . Mastery is
the highest form of accomplishment. The only
way to become successful is to master the
fundamentals and skills needed to reach your
goals and dreams. We have so much information
available to us, it’s easy to become overwhelmed.
When overwhelmed, we seek distractions.
Instead of reading 50 books this year, master and
implement three. The immature learner wants to
get as much information as they can as fast as
they can, but you’ll find them broke, stressed and
lacking real progress. The mature mind is very
deliberate with what they study. The achievers
focus on listening to something until they’ve
adopted it into their daily agenda, and seen their
results improve. Jim Collins says it perfectly, “If
you have more than three priorities, you don’t
have any.”
Make the list of what must you start saying no to.
5. The real education. Jim Rohn said “if you work
hard on your job you can make a living, but if you
work on yourself you can make a fortune.”
Entrepreneurs understand, at a level most don’t,
that Rohn wasn’t kidding. Investing in yourself is
at the top of the list of ways to solidify an
exceptional future, for nations as well as
individuals. Apple said it bluntly "We shouldn't be
criticized for using Chinese workers, the U.S. has
stopped producing people with the skills we
need."
Ouch! When I say develop yourself, grow and
improve your skills, I don’t mean school. Weird,
but true, school sometimes distracts you from the
things that actually matter in advancing your
career and life. Warren Buffett said, “The best
education you can get is investing in yourself,
and that doesn’t mean college or university.”
6. Create something meaningful. Few companies
nowadays have a compelling story or vision. The
companies that are attracting top-tier talent --
Google, Apple, Amazon, Tesla, Zappos -- have a
mission bigger than themselves.
I challenge you to start a movement. What can
you create that helps other people? I will tell you
from experience, life becomes much more
fulfilling when you become involved in a
movement or a cause greater than yourself. A
meaningful mission isn’t optional anymore.
Movements are thriving while well-put-together
plans are failing left and right.
As long as you have strong enough reasons,
there has never been a better time in the history
of our economy to create your ideal life.
Understand that the only person you should try to
be better than is the person you were yesterday.
Get clear on exactly what you want this year.
Figure out the type of person you need be on an
everyday basis to reach the goals you've set for
yourself. Do everything you can to find a
community of like-minded people to encourage
you along the way. They are the ones who won't
let you give up during the toughest of times.

US sends medical experts to study how Nigeria tamed Ebola

By Hugo Odiogor, with Agency reports
Stunned by the entrance of the Ebola Virus Disease,
EVD, into America, the United States’ Center for
Disease Control and Prevention has despatched its
personnel to study how Nigeria contained the killer
disease.
The US reported on Tuesday that it has discovered
a case of EVD in Dallas, Texas, but its health
officials said “the crisis is under control and the
public has nothing to fear.”
A statement released by US CDC Director Tom
Frieden said “it’s clear the nation needs a quick and
thorough response to its first Ebola patient”
He said although Nigeria was not completely out of
the woods, “their extensive response to a single
case of Ebola shows that control is possible with
rapid, focused interventions.” Apart from Nigeria,
the US will also visit Senegal to study its model.
Frieden said “the best practices in Nigeria and
Senegal suggest the U.S. should monitor all
individuals who may have been exposed to Ebola
and establish a dedicated management and
response system.”
Senegal has had no new reported cases of Ebola
since Sept. 18 while Nigeria has not reported new
ones since August 31,
US health officials are expected in Nigeria which it
claimed had the best practices in combating Ebola
Virus disease which entered into Nigeria through
Liberian born American citizen Mr. Patrick Sawyer
whose index case was reported on July 20, 2014.
Nigeria is expected to officially announce today that
the remaining two potential Ebola patients will exit
the 21-day observation period.
How Nigeria stopped the spread of Ebola
According to US CDC, “Nigeria’s first reported case
of Ebola surfaced July 20, when Patrick Sawyer
landed in Lagos from Liberia and exposed 72 other
passengers to the virus. Nigeria’s Health officials
quickly issued notifications and tracked everybody
who may have been in contact with Sawyer.
“Nigeria also established an Ebola Incident
Management Center to handle the potential outbreak
and developed a staffing plan that executed a social
mobilization strategy that reached more than 26,000
households of people living around the contacts of
Ebola patients,”
The deadly virus has killed more than 3,000 people
in Sierra Leone, Guinea and Liberia in the largest
outbreak ever recorded.
How Senegal contained Ebola
Senegal confirmed its first Ebola case Aug. 29 after
a man, travelling from Guinea on Aug. 14, took ill
and showed symptoms of the disease. This
prompted a quick response, including an
experienced and trained staff that was prepared to
contain the Ebola outbreak. The procedure led to the
identification of 67 contacts who were placed under
quarantine, monitored for 21 days and showed no
symptoms of Ebola.
Panic in America
The man who imported Ebola into US was found to
have travelled to Liberia without informing the
authorities and did not disclose the nature of his
ailment to the nurse that attended to him. Reports
from Texas yesterday said that the Nurse who
attended to the man has also taken ill for Ebola in
Texas.
A spokesman for Texas Health Presbyterian said
the patient had walked into a Dallas emergency
room on September 26, without knowing that he
contacted the deadly virus and left after he was
treated. He then returned to the facility on
September 28 where it was determined he likely
had Ebola and was isolated. He tested positive
Tuesday, health officials said.
Following the lapse on the part of the hospital
officials, questions are being asked amid panic
across the country. The CDC has thus advised that
all medical facilities should ask for patients with
symptoms consistent with Ebola for their travel
history.

How the Super Rich Spend Their Money

Forget sports cars, diamonds and yachts.
Today's rich prefer to spend their money on
vacations, entertainment and collectibles.
According to a new study from Spectrem Group,
Americans worth more than $25 million think of
themselves as frugal but actually live large. More
than half agreed with the statement that "saving
and investing my money gives me greater
satisfaction than spending it."
And when asked about how they became wealthy,
"frugality" ranked among the top five factors,
below hard work, education, smart investing and
taking risk.
Yet their spending numbers show that they still
enjoy the finer things in life—or at least, the finer
experiences in life.
Fully 60 percent spend more than $10,000 a year
on vacation or leisure travel, the highest of any
category. More than a quarter of spend more than
$25,000 on trips, and 14 percent spend more than
$50,000.
"They work hard, so they like nice vacations,"
said George Walper, president of Spectrem Group.
"And they take nice vacations because they can."
By contrast, jewelry, cars and boats weren't as
popular. More than three-quarters of the rich
surveyed didn't spend any money on boats. Only
30 percent spend more than $10,000 on jewelry a
year, and fewer than one in five of them spent
more than $50,000 on a car. (Granted, the few
rich who do like cars spend a lot: 10 percent said
they spend $100,000 or more).
"It's not about flashy purchases anymore,"
Walper said. "Most folks are toning it down a little
in terms of what's in style and what's
ostentatious."
Perhaps the trend toward more private displays
of wealth is why spending on club memberships
remains high. The survey found that two-thirds of
the rich spend money on clubs and nearly one in
five spends more than $10,000 a year on arts
and entertainment. Fully 60 percent spent money
on collectibles, which many prefer to see as an
investment.
The rich also like to spend more on charity than
on political contributions. More than half made
political contributions, although most were under
$10,000. Fully 58 percent, however, made
donations to charity of more than $10,000 a year,
while 25 percent made donations of more than
$25,000.
