Life Lessons!

Every single blade of grass, And every flake of snow— Is just a wee bit different ... There’s no two alike, you know. From something small, like grains of sand, To each gigantic star All were made with THIS in mind: To be just what they are! How foolish then, to imitate— How useless to pretend! Since each of us comes from a MIND Whose ideas never end. There’ll only be just ONE of ME To show what I can do— And you should likewise feel very proud, There’s only ONE of YOU. That is where it all starts With you, a wonderful unlimited human being James T. Moore .

Currently being financially aware is a problem that many of us face and don't know what to make of it.Due to fear of financial stability we strive to get jobs  and when we get a job  then the Rat race begins. Wake up daily to go to work  and be able to pay the bills, the cycle continues and we believe that we are safe. That is where we  get it all wrong. we are trapped in the rat race. We also believe that getting a higher pay will satisfy our needs and greed but what I have come to learn is that with  more pay rise nothing changes because the needs also increase due to our desire, you might want to buy more things to satisfy your desire. The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you're still a rat.   The whole point we don't understand is that getting a job is a short term solution to the problem we have of being able to  have money and pay for our needs. While working for someone we really don't have control on what our say...

We need Disruptive technologies to innovate and come up with solutions to various challenges and problems we often face in our daily lives. I believe that if you need something and it is not there yet then you have the chance to invent it and come up with a disruptive idea that can solve a need for the people. That is why we have to fit the round peg in a square hole, dare to dream and think inventively. That is what we as the 4th generation of African Leaders is expected of us. Dare to dream and think outside the box. Below is one of my favorite  extract from Apple. Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. But the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the ...

Today during my usual motivational reading I came across a blog that I really wanted to share here because for the time that i have learnt so far this key points are really effective and if you put your time and effort in practising them you will experience a positive transformation. The blog is by Abishek singh helps us learn on how to relate with people and how to make every opportunity count 1. Primacy and recency: People mostly remember the first and last things that occurred, barely the middle. When scheduling an interview, ask the employer the time slots they do interviews and try to be the first or the last. 2. If you work in a bar or in customer service of any kind, put a mirror behind you at the counter. In this way, angry customers who approach you will have to see themselves in the mirror behind you and the chance of them behaving irrationally will be lowered significantly. 3. Once you make a sales pitch, don’t say anything else. This...

Today I came across one of the best poem I have ever read and it offers a great lesson to all of us if only we could understand the message Rudyard Kipling was trying to put across. If you can keep your head when all about you        Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,    If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,     But make allowance for their doubting too;    If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,     Or being lied about, don't deal in lies, Or being hated, don't give way to hating,     And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise: If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;        If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;    If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster     And treat those two impostors just the same;    If you can bear to hear t...

Well today is another day and one of the major lesson I learnt was how having  a positive thinking habit can be effective. In a day according to research shows that on average we have 60000 thoughts in a day and most people do worry too much in those thoughts and consequently this affects their daily activities. We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far. Swami Vivekananda The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature. Marcus Aurelius For example last week i organised a prank for one of my best friend in the morning, so this friend of mine Bob we usually go to class in the morning together and today i wanted to see what the effect of  words affecting our thoughts. so when we woke up last week Wednesday i had organised with some other friends of ...

Well today I want to share one of my favorite poems that  I came across while in High school but today I also stumbled upon it and it is a very inspiring poem that shows yo how to deal with life. I have made it one of my life principles to read it always and practice what it says. I do wish that we would practice what it says and things will change for the better. The poem is called Desiderata and it was written by an American author    Max Ehrmann  in 1927 . The poem has deeply shaped some of the great people we know, Morgan Freeman the popular American actor once said that the poem has remarkable shaped his life,   US Democratic presidential hopeful  Adlai Stevenson  died in 1965 having the poem by his bedside, and finally me too this poem has a great influence in the way I carry myself everyday. May it bring you hope and inspiration as it has brought to me. Desiderata Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there...

Today i want to talk about being proactive, which is one major thing i learned this morning. According to an online dictionary this is the definition of  Proactive ''   creating or controlling a situation rather than just       responding to it after it has happened.'' This is a powerful word, in all areas of our activities if we could be able to use this approach to handle certain situations, the outcomes will be much better than expected. When we talk to people or try doing something we should always think first on how we should react or what to say in different scenarios. One thing i have learnt today is that there is always another side of the story that someone tell us and what matters is our approach or understanding. A practical example i heard of today is that there was this man who had 3 kids at a railway platform waiting to board the train. Despite the fact that his 3 little kids were making noise and running up and down the platform d...

Today I stumbled upon a story from one of my favorite guys Oliver Emberton, and i wanted to share his perspective on what life is. This is a good lesson for us to learn today.  Here is the story he shared... Real life is the game that – literally –   everyone   is playing. But it can be tough. This is your guide. Basics You might not realize, but real life is a game of  strategy . There are some fun mini-games – like dancing, driving, running, and sex – but the key to winning is simply managing your resources. Most importantly, successful players  put their time into the right things . Later in the game money comes into play, but your top priority should always be mastering where your time goes. Childhood Life begins when you’re assigned a random character and circumstances: The first 15 years or so of life are just tutorial missions, which suck. There’s no way to skip these. Young adult stage As a young player, you’ll have lots of ti...
