Veteran actress, Ego Boyo, has said that focusing on set objectives and consistency are critical to achieving success in whatever endeavour one undertakes.
Boyo gave this advice last weekend at the reunion and inaugural meeting of the Lagos chapter of the 1986/1990 Class of Theatre Arts, Ekenwan Campus, University of Benin, held in Lagos.
In her presentation titled, ‘How to Achieve and Sustain Success’, Boyo maintained that for an individual or a group of individuals undertaking any venture to remain focused, they must have well thought-out and well-defined aims and objectives.
She said, “When I say that being focused is critical, the natural question is, what are we focusing on? The answer is very simple; we focus on our aims and objectives.
“This underscores the fundamental need to develop good aims and objectives to focus on. The point to note here is that most individuals and corporate bodies have lofty aims and objectives, but they fail in the long run. Why? This is because they shift focus from the set objectives. If you must succeed, remaining focused is very critical.”
She stressed that the environment could be discouraging, but with focus, research and consistency, success could easily be achieved.
She also pointed out that the Ekenwan campus was in a sorry state and needed the urgent attention of all stakeholders, including former students.
Highlights of the event include the background story of the role played by the Board of Trustees towards the inauguration of the Lagos chapter, by a ranking member of the Board, Victor Iyamu, who was represented by another trustee, Godwin Ofulue, which includes the formation of a cooperative society for the advancement of members’ welfare.
