Lesson 18: THE VALUE OF MEDITATION

                          THE VALUE OF MEDITATION




For centuries man has  embraced the art of meditation, it is a forgotten habit by most of us though the  importance and value that we get from taking a few moments of our alone time to quiet our mind is of immense return to our productivity and well-being in general.

Meditation helps to quiet the mind, daily the brain has numerous thoughts , ideas and imaginations passing through our mind, the level of internal mental chatter is so much great that it is impossible for a normal  person to stay focused for only 5 minutes without almost 10 thoughts crossing his mind. With the current level of stress and the forgotten art of solitude, we daily experience a fast paced day and environment not scheduling time in the day where we do nothing completely. 

 Can you remember the last time you just sat and did nothing at all, the last time you were in a queue and you didn’t even touch your phone? With the current growth in technology and connectedness, we have forgotten the art of solitude and our mind keeps on evaluating numerous situation not having the serene, peacefulness that it requires rebooting or grow.

That Is why meditation is essential, through the serene mind experienced during meditation enhance better focus and brain activity on the parts of the brain that are characterized by anxiety and depression are reality reduced. The mind is at rest and concentrates on one thing, through these enhanced focus greater self-awareness learning, and memory is improved. According to researchers, meditators have been found to have a high frequency of brain alpha waves which increase the level of awareness and positivity.

Take time every day in the morning or evening to work out your brain  you will be grateful for the small efforts you’ve taken  to improve your self- awareness. The bliss you experience from this daily habit is fascinating, the first time I did it it was hard to concentrate but with time it was blissful and you go through the day with more enthusiasm and achieve much productivity.
Take time to meditate it is very essential

Lesson 4. The Desiderata

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...

Lesson 44. Alibaba

I have just finished reading Alibaba: The house that Jack Ma built by Duncan Clark. This is a brilliant book in the way the author presents the journey of Alibaba from Jack's small apartment to a billion dollar company, many of us have heard of Alibaba recently during the IPO but this book reminds us that success is as a result of hard work, perseverance, sacrifices and most of all loving what you are doing or  learning to do.  We see the influence that Jack Ma has established to move the company forward with the Jack Magic effect, something similar to Steve Jobs reality distortion field effect. One thing that I really loved was the clear outline of the growth of internet companies in mainland China, and a key lesson can be learned on how big tech companies in China have been able to replicate similar services and technology offerings of major players in the industry  by tailoring this to Chinese market, eg Google- Baidu eBay- Eachnet Amazon-JD.com/Alibaba ...
