The Chairman of the SIFAX Group, Dr. Taiwo Afolabi has identified courage, self-belief, determination and solution-oriented mindset as some of the factors that are crucial for achieving success in life.

Speaking at an interactive session with the 2022 graduating students of Babcock University in Ilishan Remo, Ogun State, recently, Afolabi said that anyone that lacks all these qualities might be far from achieving success.

Represented at the occasion by the Group Executive Director of Sifax Group, Mr. Bode Ojeniyi, the Group Chairman admonished the students not to be deterred or intimidated by challenges that life would throw in their way.

He said: “Challenges are part of life and it is practically impossible to avoid them. You can’t avoid challenges if your ultimate goal is to succeed, either in career, marriage or business. You need to believe in yourself because you are endowed with all you require to excel. You must also take self-development seriously, don’t be comfortable with the level of knowledge you have, Keep seeking for more, the more you know, the more likely you are to succeed".

“Having a solution-oriented mindset is also critical. When you encounter a difficulty or problem, ability to generate solutions, rather than lamentations sets people apart. When you are reputed for this kind of thinking, achieving success will be easier, as colleagues, bosses and clients would trust you more and avail you greater responsibilities that would account for your rise".

Afolabi further commended the university for organising the event where the graduating students interacted with successful professionals and captains of industry.

Other speakers at the event include Chairman, KPMG Africa, Mr. Kunle Elebute, former Consultant of the World Bank, Dr. Babatunde Ipaye, Dr.(Mrs) Abimbola Abolarinwa of Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Prof. Pat Utomi and Managing Director, Wema Bank, Mr. Ademola Adebise, among others.
