Curious George: This is the reason I love watching cartoons — Didi-Omah Augustine Chinazaekpere

doacWeb's Founder, Didi-Omah Augustine Chinazaekpere, during a talk on innovation and wealth creation, emphasized how "Curious George" plays a big role to his success.

Didi-Omah speaks deeply, on how his early childhood, was influenced by cartoons, and he still love watches cartoons till date.

"I remember during my early childhood, how my life was influenced by cartoons; which I watched, sometimes with friends, most times with my brother and sisters.

Me and my childhood friends, as little as we were, practiced what we had watched: Ben 10, Avatar (the last air bender), Power Rangers.... That's the king of all practice for we then. Jungle Fury, Mystic Force, Dino Thunder, Space Patrol Delta (SPD), Operation Overdrive, and others; there are many collections of Power Rangers.

I acted green ranger and black ranger, with others chosing their favorite colors. Power Rangers rangered my sister's hand, her bone shift, during acting as Power Rangers — these bring about 'thinking ability' in me.

Here's what I am driving at: many cartoons watched! Scoopy Doo, Johnny Bravo, Power Puff Girls, Barbie, Sponge Bob Square Pant, and so much more. I love these, let me show you the effect on me, it made me to be creative and be a critical thinker.

Here is the favorite part, I want you to learn from this, it's the big contributor to what I am today!

JimJam's Curious George; this cartoon have positive impacts on me, thanks to the creators. Curious George do show on JimJam, a cartoon satellite television channel. Curious George is a cartoon series, with fun and knowledge to acquire. 

Why Curious George? George is a monkey, not just a monkey; Curious George is monkey that love trying new things, when he fails, he doesn't complain — he looks at why he failed, and try again!

If he discovered that he cannot do it alone, he asked for help, he loves collaborative management — he have collaboration management skills.

Curious George, sees failure as an opportunity to grow, he analyse his failures; and tries till he achieve his goal. He doesn't know how to give up, he studied any fields of his interest to build himself, he diversify to every area to get knowledge, he make sure he get his targeted knowledge or audience or task done and achievable.

Curious George have taught me to be more 'creative and curious' in dealing with issues, and in life at large. 

This curious monkey inspired me to:

1. Never give up.

2. Don't complain, analyse your failure and success well. See opportunities in every challenges.

3. Be bold towards your goal, and be courageous in front of people.

4. Be wise to ask for help.

5. Be curious: always love to learn and try new things, even the impossible tasks.

6. Have a collaborative management skill and positive mindset towards failures.

7. Be humble and kind to everyone you meet everyday.

8. Be good at observation and implementation: Curious George is good at observation, he doesn't end in observing, he implement. He reads, learn, observes and close it to implementing.

9. Build relationship with all professions or careers — choose your friends by yourself wisely:

Curious George build relationship with everyone, regardless of their jobs or business — as far as it is good to the society, he is in friendly relationship with you.

10. Don't surround yourself with people that will not help you achieve your target. People that will bring you down with their unbelieve, people that will try to push you not believing in yourself, people not investing to make sure you get what you want; and in building you better than you were — surround yourself with idiots that will help you grow.

11. Be the fool to everyone, until you achieve what you want. When you fail, accept it, learn from it; and when you succeed, celebrate it.

12. Learn selling skills; how to sell? if I want to be rich in life.

Curious George always want to sell something, so he can achieve his goal. It either he is selling his idea, someone's product or offer free service — when you analyse it, he is doing these in order to sell something to them.

13. Help others succeed, then you will succeed with less efforts. 

Curious George help his neighbours and people around him, to solve their problems, in this act, he doesn't lack help and people are always ready to buy whatever he sells.

14. To get people's attention, put interest in solving their problems, not yours. I mean, put, show, have interest in providing solutions to people's problems — possible as you can.

Then your problem will be taken care of.

15. When you have surplus resources, be it cash or human or materials or anything. Don't spend all, don't waste any; store more for the storming days ahead, or for future use.

Curious George do these, and I have watched the effects on him, and it has never bring bad to him.

16. Your experience can be the best teacher, and learning from people's experience is vital.

Curious George enjoy learning from people's experiences, before he implement or experience it. This act; make him to achieve more success than failure, because he have learnt from others.

When he experienced the same thing, he knows what to do — Why? Because he have studied from others.

Spend your time learning from people's failures more often, than their success; people's mistakes and achievements.

This I will repeat: Curious George have taught me to be more 'creative and curious' in dealing with issues, and in life at large. 

Be like Curious George: these acts from him, have made me be a good marketer and salesperson. These acts have positioned me to be important and value-added person, in the society.

You want to achieve success in finance, life and business — do these, apply these in your daily life, and you will see greatness in all you do.

So, watching cartoons for me, is both for fun and learning. Cartoons ease stress and keep my brain alert, so you can see — when others see it as waste of time, others it's for kids — to me it is the best way to train a child and myself.

When you are having excitement; talking about having fun, doing your job or learning — you tends to do it more perfectly, achieve more and end up not stressed!

This is the reason I love watching cartoons."
