today the 26th day of November, 2009.
Happiness i would say is the essence of life. while we strive to achieve this objective, we adopt various indirect means (i’m not sure if there exist direct means).
Continuous Progress seems to be the one way i found to achieve this essence. In other to achieve CP, one would have to set Goals and continuous work at achieving them. The skills involved in goal setting are not hard to acquire, but if CP is the underlying objective, then it would be advisable to set relatively easily achievable goals of relatively short horizons.
Thinking through this idea, daily & hourly goals seem to be of great importance.

Politician’s son used a majority stake in African Petroleum to get himself appointed its chief executive last year. Now he plans to merge it with his private firm, Zenon, to create the continent’s largest oil company. Deal has stalled in the face of government concerns about a monopoly, with his assets temporarily frozen last year. Nigerian regulators lifted the ban in January. Conflict abounds in Otedola’s life: he claims his friend and fellow billionaire, Aliko Dangote, broke a gentleman’s agreement when he thwarted Zenon’s bid to buy Chevron‘s local subsidiary in September. In retaliation, starting buying shares in Dangote’s publicly traded sugar company.
