They can hit hard, you can hit harder. You must tell yourself that in your mind, every time, even if you don't believe it's true. What you tell yourself, the mind registers, and what you tell yourself repetitively, the mind believes. Tell yourself you're a winner, and you're on the road to winning. Tell yourself that the past's hurt didn't defeat you, and you will keep on moving. Tell yourself that the future isn't half as scary as it appears, and you'll move into it confidently.

Mandy is a career-minded, driven, intelligent & ambitious young woman, in her late twenties. She's highly educated, hard-working & tenacious. Her track record is intimidating: She consistently outperforms her older colleagues employed longer than her & isn't afraid to boldly be the best. Not easy to beat as she rarely takes no for an answer. She's turns over tens of millions for her company annually & jumps to every new challenge. She's a go-getter. She's vying for the top. She's a flea in a covered jar.

If I had a daughter, she would be the most precious gift of my life. If I had a daughter, I would have already found one such gift; in her mother. If I were blessed with a daughter, I would do everything I could to protect her. And then, I would do a little more. What I've learned in this world, in almost three decades, is that this world is a cut-throat world. I've had my life threatened on numerous occasions, since I was a child. I'm lucky to be alive today, my life is a gift! There's no doubt about that.

They knock only once. At everyone's door. If you're quick enough, you catch 'em. If not, they leave you. Not everyone recognizes them. Many abhor them, thinking they're hard work with no real justification that they're gonna work out for the better for you. I recognized them. Two huge ones. I'm so addicted to hard work, I'm making a fortune for myself. My Twitter league is heavy. Nothing but big shots in my following. My self-empowerment cannot be stopped. Haters learn this, the hard way, by being stopped!

It's 4.45 in the morning, pitch black outside. The alarm clock goes off - the most hated sound at the start of the day. He hits it out, half asleep. Trying to get out of the oh-so-comfortable slumber, all he can think of is how he's going to need a bit more time to get up. 5 minutes, tops! A minute later, a second alarm goes off, tearing him out of his inertia all over again. Sensing it's going to be futile to continue fighting his time, he surrenders to his time-keeper & slowly rolls out of bed.

Asbestos can be airbo e or processed into materials, examples of which are asbestos dust or asbestos-containing roofing sheets, respectively. 'Of the major asbestos related diseases, mesothelioma is the most sensitive and scientific indicator of the adverse health effects that have resulted from airbo e exposures to asbestos fibres' [H Weill, J M Hughes, A M Churg, 2004. Changing Trends In US Mesothelioma Incidence, Occupational & Environmental Medicine, vol.61, Issue 5].

"... I don't know the reason but I always feel persecuted, whenever a person disturbs my area, I feel like it's an attack on me. I learnt that word yesterday: I overheard my father pronouncing it from the dictionary, he spoke out the meaning... persecution." (She pauses ) " Here, there are many birds, but they only come out in the morning. Once it's hot, they rest in the shade. My mother says they're like people, they're lazy!" (She pauses) "In school, my teacher knows how to use her GSM like a computer: Sometimes she sends letters & then my other teacher's phone rings!"

The web is awash with opportunities. They occur on a daily basis, if you watch close enough. Opportunities provide breakthroughs and are highly valuable. Online though, too much of them can ruin your business. Scope creep is one of the biggest e-business killers and it comes silently and is often inconspicuous for the user to notice. Therefore, focus on the core big opportunities in your main domain of work and realize them. Don't focus on adjacent ones because they will only derail you while you haven't capitalized on the opportunities that can make you dream a reality.

It doesn't matter what economy exists: Boom or Bust, in the end it comes down to you to prosper. It doesn't matter what time-frame we live in: Modern or Old, ultimately it's your choice, to be. Everything you need, to achieve, is already in you. What makes you succeed in your goals or not, is your disposition. It's not bad to admire people, but it's horrible to not recognize yourself. There is no such thing as 'elitism' because as beings, we all have equal resources to work with, naturally. Even, a disabled person has a purpose. Even the disabled person serves a purpose.

In business, to be taken seriously, you have to take yourself seriously. It's not easy to be in the arena with heavyweight corporations and people more experienced than you. The single tactic winning firms fundamentally use, is to punch above their weight.

Favorite Quotes & Thoughts from Dotun Adewunmi

To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.
Michael Jordan

The more I train, the quicker I get. The quicker I get, the slower they seem. The slower they seem, the easier the game. The easier the game, the greater my threat. The greater my threat, the more attractio I draw. The more attractio I draw, the tighter they play me. The tighter they play me, the more I train.

How to get started

I'm a self-employed online publisher addressing global gender inequality. Having won a UN award for my work this year is great & an honour, however I don't aim to stop there until gender inequality is eradicated throughout the world. It is a crime against humanity! My goals mainly include exposing males to a common inherent chauvinism & helping them overcome it, as I have done for myself. Many people are ignorant about gender inequality so my biggest objective is to enlighten extensively on it through the Internet and new media, assessing the human rights abuse in different forms to appeal to a diversity of web users, starting with web comic strips & articles.

Mother Nature - A Satire On Gender Inequality has been developed out of personal interest and commitment to addressing global gender inequality. The ultimate goal is to contribute to collective efforts around the world to end this atrocity against humans. This is to be done by raising awareness about it & continuing to do so by publishing a comic strip & article on every type of gender inequality known to the human race!
