Le conférencier chrétien Zig Ziglar a dit un jour : « Vous avez le choix entre vous amuser aujourd'hui et en payer le prix demain, ou payer le prix aujourd'hui et vous amuser demain. Mais dans les deux cas, la vie finira par réclamer son dû. » C'est cette notion de temps et de priorités qui échappe à des millions de personnes aujourd'hui. Nous vivons une époque marquée par le stress et les enjeux importants, comme en témoigne le jeu qui se joue sur la grande scène du débat public. La principale conséquence est que si nous ne sommes pas animés par une ambition qui canalise notre énergie, nous serons victimes de cette distraction néfaste. L'une des caractéristiques de presque tous les hommes qui réussissent est leur capacité à rester imperturbables face à toutes les vicissitudes qui tenteraient de les éloigner de leur objectif ou de leur vision. C'est ce que nous appelons « se concentrer sur les priorités ». Ce qui compte, c'est ce qui occupe nos pensées au premier plan, et qui nous cause même des insomnies si nous ne l'atteignons pas.

Est-il nécessaire de rappeler que le Dr Raoul Ruben, visionnaire des temps modernes et infatigable travailleur, qui a toujours défendu avec conviction le potentiel de chacun à devenir la meilleure version de soi-même, a conçu et créé une organisation pour concrétiser ce rêve : transformer le monde en accompagnant et en consolidant les réussites de chaque membre qui choisit de devenir un acteur du changement et d'avoir un impact positif au sein de cette organisation. Fort de ses années d'expérience et, surtout, de la solide formation de ses maîtres, il a fondé l'Académie Twenty One, qui se positionne, sans prétention, comme le meilleur système de soutien au monde pour la formation en développement personnel, leadership et renforcement des compétences.

Mais comment ces rêves pourront-ils se concrétiser si l'organisation n'est pas bâtie sur des piliers et des fondations inflexibles ?

As part of his world tour, he was at the helm of an extraordinary A21 ORIENTATION in Lomé, Togo, on Saturday June 29, where he praised the integrity and sense of community of the Togolese people. He also praised their solicitude and above all their hospitality, and in a good-natured atmosphere tinged with humor and jokes, he introduced one of the finest conferences since the start of his tour, because Togo is the only privileged country to have received a masterly development of the 12 A21 VALUES, which testify to the scope and ambition of this futuristic organization.

1- MISSION: The mission of A21, through its Chairman Dr. Raoul Ruben, is to provide a comprehensive support system to help each member accelerate their journey towards personal and professional success.By offering tailored resources, quality training and mentoring, A21 aims to catalyze the growth and fulfillment of each individual.

2- VISION: To break down inequalities, bad prejudices and promote the possibility of becoming an upgrade version of oneself, A21's vision is to create a world where every person discovers their full potential, makes the most of it and contributes positively to society.

In doing so, it is the visible expression of a visionary who aspires to see the dynamic community where personal development, leadership, spirituality and entrepreneurship flourish, and where each person's light shines without overshadowing that of others.

3- PASSION: Every great work always has passion as its seed. Every great achievement has passion as its foundation.Passion is the thing without which no work or achievement would wear its royal robes, and it's the beating heart of the A21 organization. 
It manifests itself in a fervent and incorruptible commitment to inspiring and supporting every member in their quest for success. This passion is what gives life to all the Chairman's initiatives and projects, to which he gives his heart and soul.

4- PERSEVERANCE: Max Heindel said it best decades ago: "Everything we are, everything we have, is the result of effort.
This effort could be of any kind, but it's the proof that nothing of great value is accomplished without challenges and difficulties, but it's the ability to overcome these challenges and difficulties that proves what you're really made of. That's why Dr. Raoul Ruben emphasizes perseverance as an essential quality for overcoming challenges and setbacks.He encourages an attitude of resilience and determination, essential to achieving ambitious goals.

5- FAITH: Faith is simply believing in something that can transcend us, something that sometimes seems beyond our reach.Faith is like that compass on the paths of uncertainty or in the valley of the unknown; it enables us to shake off the doubts that cloud our vision and kill our enthusiasm for the pursuit of true happiness.Of course, it includes an unshakeable belief in ourselves, in others and in a promising future. 
Whether spiritual or based on confidence in one's abilities, this faith is what sustains individuals in their moments of weakness and helps them stay the course.

6- POSITIVE ATTITUDE: ''Isn't it said that nothing is impossible to a valiant heart?
A positive attitude is essential for tackling life's challenges with optimism, courage, resilience and creativity.So, from a conquerors' perspective, A21 promotes a constructive mentality, which enables us to transform obstacles into opportunities and maintain a dynamic of continuous progress.

7- AMBITION: Human beings have no real limits other than those they set for themselves. Our achievements are a function of our level of ambition, of our ability to take calculated risks to reach the pinnacle of our promises.That's why, when we decide to join forces with the A21 organization, dreams and a culture of thinking big are the things that are encouraged.Only ambition as a driver of innovation and success will enable us to remain constant on the path of our dreams.Ambition drives us to set high goals and work hard to achieve them, while remaining aligned with our intrinsic values and deepest aspirations.

8- NEVER GIVE UP: Is there a single human being who has never been bitten by the venom of adversity that inoculated him with the desire to give up? 
Is there a single being in this existence who has never faced the scratches of existence?Whoever we are or may be, we've already at least once faced that repugnant desire to give up, because of social pressure, emotional conflicts, and sometimes financial problems. That's why "Never give up" is a fundamental A21 principle, and is even considered a religion to keep every member on track with their promises and ambitions.This unshakeable determination is crucial to persisting in the pursuit of our dreams, despite difficulties and setbacks.

9- LIFESTYLE: Since time immemorial, a group, community or ethnic group has been recognized by its lifestyle.
This mode of recognition still holds true today, because the lifestyle bears witness to the quality of civilization and even evolution of this community.That's why in the A21 organization, lifestyle is characterized by a commitment to personal and professional excellence.This includes balanced, healthy lifestyle choices aligned with goals of personal development and success.Emphasizing the importance of hard work, there's no question of skimping on the means to indulge oneself out of a deep love for luxury, first-rate things as the crowning glory of one's efforts.10- LOYALTY: All the great men of history have always been fashioned in each other's shadows, enabling their mentors not to hesitate when it came to giving them the assigning hand.Loyalty is a central pillar underpinning anyone whose ambition is to reach impressive dimensions of achievement.It means remaining consistent and honest, both with oneself and with the members of our organization.This implies irreproachable loyalty to the organization's principles, and a constant commitment to upholding and honoring the values that give this organization all its mystery.

11- CHARITY: Understanding others' weaknesses and shortcomings without judging them, loving others whatever the cost without expecting anything in return.

Giving a smile to those who are drowning in an ocean of tears, bringing a word of comfort to a downcast soul and a bewildered heart - these are A21's expressions of solidarity and mutual aid.Charity manifests itself in an active willingness to help and support others.This includes not only philanthropic actions, but also a spirit of benevolence and solidarity in all A21 initiatives, and this is what motivates the implementation of the A21 CHARITY DAY, which is held on the first Saturday of every month, and during which all members of the A21 organization bring donations to the needy or orphans in order to support their existence; because gratitude opens the way to the fullness of life.

12- RIGOUR: Rigour is essential to ensure the effectiveness and excellence of every initiative in life.
It implies a methodical approach, meticulous attention to detail and constant discipline in the execution of projects and programs that we have personally or collectively promised ourselves.Without this rigor, it's impossible to evolve in a sustainable way, because rigor is an indispensable pillar of the A21 organization, and the reason why it's still standing despite all shocks and setbacks.

Ces valeurs constituent le socle solide sur lequel repose l'organisation A21, guidant chacune de ses actions et décisions afin d'accomplir sa mission : accélérer la réussite et l'épanouissement personnel et professionnel de chacun de ses membres à travers le monde. C'est sur cette note que le président, le Dr Raoul Ruben, a conclu cette session de communication, qui n'a laissé personne indifférent, mais plutôt avec une soif insatiable d'apprendre. C'est pourquoi, au lieu de prendre une pause bien méritée, nous partons pour Abidjan pour une autre réunion tout aussi passionnante que les précédentes.
