Pressman : You sound very interesting and selfless. Mr Stanley : I actually am. Pressman : So what are your basic beliefs in life? Also your favourite quote(s) Mr Stanley : Ok. My basic beliefs ; *I am a Christian, I believe in God. *Life is predictable and based upon principles; the principles we keep or break predicts the outcomes of our lives. *The Golden rule; Do unto others as you would that they do unto you. *Every individual has a Purpose; success is not in cars, houses or money, but in living a PURPOSE-DRIVEN life. " Whatever your mind can CONCEIVE, and BELIEVE, It can ACHIEVE " - Napoleon Hill Pressman : Life is predictable.... Please can you give examples of these principles? Mr Stanley : Ok. One good example of the Principles of life is what is called; " The principle of Honour " If an individual dishonours people in his life; friends, family, great Men that can help him, I can predict that he/she will not go far in life, because what you don't Honour you cannot attract, and vice-versa. Pressman : Please can you mention (list) some other principles? Mr Stanley : A few others are; The law of Recognition, The law of Seed time and Harvest, The principle of Consistency, the principle of the Environment e.t.c.

Pressman : What motivated you to contest for the post of General Secretary? Mr Stanley : Ok. As I previously mentioned, I love leaving an impact wherever I am.

What is one unique think you're sure you will contribute to NAPS if you emerge as the winner? Mr Stanley : I wouldn't want to speak yet on my plans (I would do that on the Press and Manifesto night), but one enduring personality I would be bringing on is the part of me that strives to ensure that a goal is met, as I said I am a goal-getter, I don't give up on a goal until it is clearly beyond all reasonable doubt that a thing cannot be achieved (and that is even rare). Pressman : What could one of these goals be? Mr Stanley : As I earlier mentioned, it is contained within my plans which I would be make known to Public knowledge at the Press Night.
