THE
THREE POWER POINTS OF SUCCESS
There
is a saying that it takes Perspiration and Inspiration to achieve your
Aspirations.
PERSPIRATION:
We work in order to
attain something (Labour). We work in order to earn
something (Toil). We work in order to acquire something (Sweat).
It is
God's intention that we be successful.
INSPIRATION:
Can be defined as God’s help, enablement or ability.
The
Bible says in
Psalm 127:1, "Unless the Lord builds the house, its builders labour
in vain." And in Deuteronomy 8:18,the bible says "But remember the Lord
your God, for it is he who gives you the ability to produce wealth, and
so confirms his covenant, which he swore to your forefathers, as it is
today." As we
can see from the two scriptures, God has given us the ability to succeed. There is
an ability in each and every person to
succeed.
ASPIRATION:
These
are our dreams, visions and goals. Once we realize these we will have
direction in life. Again, the bible says, in Ecclesiastes 9:11, "The
race is not to the swift or the battle to the strong, nor does food come
to the wise or wealth to the brilliant or favour to the learned; but
time and chance happen to them all."
Once we realize these
three things as an Individual or Organisation, we can transform ourselves
to heights of achievement and marked greatness.
As PACRO employees we
have a mandate to fulfill as derived from our Mission Statement, which
says: "To provide efficient and effective registration and protection
systems for Commercial and Intellectual
Property rights in order to promote innovation and orderly trade for the
benefit of the nation."
From this mission
statement two things can be derived. These are innovation and intellect.
When we have been inspired and aspired we tend to become innovative and
a people of intellect.

In conclusion we
should not forget that no statue was ever erected in honour of a selfish
person but all have been done to honour selfless, gallant men and women
who gave and did great things for others. |
