About Wish2getha
The idea of Wish2getha was born in April 2002 through a chance conversation when one of Habeeb’s friends was advised to keep a wishlist to ‘help you focus on what you want from life’. Further discussions with Habeeb about wish lists developed into informal research of friends’ and family’s wish lists. This in turn identified a need for a way to access personal wish lists at anytime and from anywhere in the world – and wish2getha.com was born. The site was launched on the 29th of December 2003 after a year of planning – the first wish realised on the 2getha group’s wishlist!
Habeeb has used some of the content on the website to inspire his own business success. Here are some of Habeeb’s favourite inspirational messages (including a couple of his own!):
Hold fast to dreams! For if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly. - L. Hughes
Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. - Michael Jordan
Success is not attained overnight just as a plant does not grow overnight. A seed is planted, then nurtured and watered. Eventually you will notice the seed start growing until eventually it is fully grown, that’s how success is attained. - Habeeb Adeokun
How is one to know what one can accomplish unless one tries? - Habeeb Adeokun
The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. - George Bernard Shaw
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure. - Bill Cosby
I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret. - Anthony Robbins
