One Step At a Time

By Segun Adesesan

In this book, Segun Adesesan offers a vivid and gradual approach to life achievement. He opines that the fact about our existence is that talent is not the same thing as maturity and that brilliance is not equal to applied experience.

He believes it is a big error to promote people above what they know, and that it is a mistake for so many to aspire for a certain position or opportunity when they have not made enough preparation. More so, he posits that most people who believe in competing all the time never rise above those they compete with.

Going by the above position, this book, therefore, deals with orderliness and systematic approach to life and achievement. It points to the danger of rat race, ambition and competition among people. You might have to discover in the end that what you are in a hurry for could be achieved gradually and effectively if we allow timing to dictate and take proper approach.

Introduction

We live in an instant world. The advent of computer, jet and the discovery of hybridization with chemicals to enhance the growth of plant and animals is an interesting finding. Its advantage is so much that it has fast forwarded the world processes and allowed us to achieve growth in short space of time. Microwave has replaced the use of Kerosene and gas for a long time while Noodles with spices has replaced rice for a long time.

In the light of all these and others, we are trying to phase out the natural process of growth. Could this have been the reason for collapse in so many of our organisations in this part of the world? We may have considered rapid growth in plants and animals to be an interesting one but I have a strong conviction that it is not healthy for human beings.

We have truly achieved progress in plants and animals but we still have to find out that some of these fast approaches carry along its serious harm to human health and our life span. A typical example is an increase in cancer all over the world which has been linked to our consumption of chemicals and canned food.

Unconsciously, most of us who hear or read about what’s going on in our present world want to apply the same process to our growth. Good and lasting success does not happen like a flash, it takes years to build good success.

This book deals with orderliness and systematic approach to life and achievement. It points to the danger of rat race, ambition and competition among people. You might have to discover in the end that what you are in a hurry for could be achieved gradually and effectively if
