The Teachability Index (PART 1)

Your aptitude for learning new skills is gauged by the teachabilty index.My motivation for writing about this is my conviction that increased knowledge and understanding will enable us to have a bigger impact on our families, organisations, and nations overall.The Wilson Law, which makes it abundantly evident that wealth results from knowledge that is learned and applied is another reason I wrote this essay.

In this work, the term "teacher's" refers to persons, experiences, books, the Internet, and a plethora of other information sources. There are a lot of "informed" people in the world; we know a lot about a wide range of subjects.I draw attention to this to make it clear that in order to differentiate oneself, we need to possess knowledge and expertise that is above ordinary.This necessitates exceeding average knowledge and skill levels thus having a high teachability index. 

It is critical that we are not just willing to learn, but also to change and be transformed as we go through life.The Bible expresses it this way in Romans 12:2. "And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God." One of my greatest influences, the late Jim Rohn, once stated, "If you will change, everything will change for you."


If our desire is to elevate to the next level of knowledge and prosperity, we must become flexible rather than rigid.At its foundation, the teachability index consists of two components: your willingness to learn (WTL) and your willingness to change (WTC).

Imagine You Are A Success

Psychology says that we are controlled by what we think, believe or imagine more than any other factor. Our beliefs control everything we do, If we believed (or rather imagined) that wearing clothes was useless, we would all be walking around naked. It is very imperative that we understand that we control our lives through the type of thoughts we choose to hold in our minds. Take the person who jumps in front of a speeding car on the highway(commits suicide), in their mind their action is justified and probably seen as necessary hence it is carried out. Now that i have laid my foundation... In his book Psychocybernetics, Maxwell Maltz says "Realizing that our actions, feelings and behavior are the e result of our own images and beliefs gives us the lever that psychology has always needed for changing personality.Mental pictures offer us an opportunity to "practice" new traits and attitudes, which otherwise we could not do.  This is possible because again—your nervous sy...

The Unwritten Rules of Africa: Navigating a Complex Identity (Economics part 1)

The economic life of the African continent is shaped by a complex mix of historical events and current realities. To truly understand it, we must examine the deep-rooted challenges and psychological patterns that emerged from centuries of outside control and resource extraction. A History of Economic Struggle The rule of economic struggle is deeply rooted in a colonial history of dependency. Foreign powers didn't just come to trade; they methodically took apart existing African economies. They dismissed local practices as "outdated" and forced new systems upon the people. This historical redirection of resources created a fundamental weakness, turning the continent into a mere supplier of raw materials. All the infrastructure they built, like railways and ports, was primarily designed to transport these resources from inland to the coast for export. This framework created an economic gap and a dependency that has continued long after African nations gained their independe...

A Transformed Mind

Many of us are rigid in thought hence we are stagnant in life. The good news is that we have the ability to change our minds - our thought patterns (perceptions, beliefs..) One of my prayers these days is "God transform my mind". That is because i am well aware that if my mind is transformed, my life will be transformed. Our thoughts are often revealed in our actions. I am writing this right now because an idea came into my mind and i thought it was a great idea to express my revelation about my life in this manner. The action is preceded by thought. The word transformation is a compound word - transition & form or "formation". A transition takes time so it is imperative that we are patient and recognize that it will take time for our minds to be transformed. Transformation is a process often filled with pain and fear. That does not mean we must not persue change but bear in mind that it will be challenging.  Behaviors and/or habits lead to results but we often ...
