COMMENTARY

There is deficit on guidance in our society today. Parents in the community took a walk and left behind helpless children that knew very little on what to do. We have a weak society based on morals and ethics. We are swept by winds of corruption, immorality and even low level of objectivity on critical issues such as life within society. We know we are sick somewhere but we ignore thereby having a stooped life. Sooner than later, we will diminish with depleting characters, Save the society by sticking to societal norms and values. Correct mistakes and avert unethical behaviors within your environment. It is the spirit of morality in the air. Remember, You too for morality.

FEASTIVE SEASON

GREETINGS: As many of us are cuing into the season's funfair, a lot is happening around your region or even country. You mighty be happy and fully serviced for the celebration but remember this, that some one somewhere is in need. Despite what you have and what you do, some one around the world is going through a difficult time. Some are struggling for food, others for medication and yet some for freedom from some kind of oppression. Out of this revelation, one is only left with one thing. The one thing is about giving thanks for who you're and what you have. You might be in a condition but remember, there is someone elsewhere who is more troubled than you. Give a thought about such difficult moments that people go through and mention them in your prayers if you can't reach them. Have a blast but on a responsible well mannered note, life will continue after the season, thus, be advised not to engage in something unethical that will make you regret instead of appreciating new year tidings. Enjoy your Holiday!

CHAOS: An acronym for 'Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome'
--WordSpy Website

Make room for the new you. You may not have totally determined who the new you is going to be, but you probably have decided that there are some things about the current you, that you want to change. Well while you are working on what the new you will be, start 'cleaning out a room' for the new you to live in. Get rid of the junk in your life both physical and mental that doesn't fit you anymore. Take things out of your schedule that are taking your time away from finding out what you want to do. By making room for the new you, you will create a vacuum that the new you will rush in to fill and you will be on your way to the top.
-- Edward W. Smith, Sixty Seconds To Success

BUSINESS TIPS : How to Multitask to Get More Done

We understand that it is a season of bustle. In that angle, you don't have to be in a quagmire wasting time thinking of how to get all that done. Get a tip today here and have a fabulous christmas with order and discipline. Your time is very important. Ann Has something special for you. Enjoy.



The five principles outlined below are not difficult, but they do take discipline - and that's what efficient multi-tasking comes down to.
Multi-tasking shouldn't make you feel like you're in the middle of a cyclone; there is actually a way to apply effective multi-tasking principles that will help you keep your sanity AND add time to your day.
Here are five secrets of effective multi-tasking:

1. Give your full attention to the task in front of you
2. Setting specific time frames for task completion
3. Becoming effective at switching gears within like/similar activities
4.  
4. Prioritizing high pay-off and low priority tasks
5. Honor thy calendar

The first 4 items listed are components of item #5, so let's review the base of each principle first.
1. Give your full attention to the task in front of you.
This is sometimes an easy thing to overlook, but often the reason why our tasks take longer than we estimate.  We allow ourselves to be distracted by what's around us and next thing you know you've started 3 projects and completed none.  When you set a clear rule that you will focus on only one specific task at a time, you increase your efficiency dramatically.  Not only will you become quicker at completing tasks, but you will improve your accomplish rate by finishing more tasks even quicker.  This is a base principle in multi-tasking efficiency - learn to focus on the task at hand and ignore distractions.
2. Setting specific time frames for task completion.
Multi-tasking includes time management.  It's amazing how focused we can really be when we have a deadline or a short amount of time to get a task completed.  If you have 15 minutes to complete the task, focus on setting the intention that you will get it done within that amount of time so you can move on to your next task. However, you don’t want to complete something within the time allotted and have it done poorly. 3. Becoming effective at switching gears.
This is where a lot of people get tripped up.  They finish one task and move on to the next, only to still be thinking about the task they just finished.  When a task is complete, all emotional energy related to that task should be released.  Look at the completion of your tasks as an emotional release.  It's done - finished.  You no longer have to think about it.  You're moving on.  One big key is to try and keep similar activities together so you don’t have to mentally make big adjustments between tasks.  It wastes precious time when you have to switch between unlike activities.
4. Prioritizing high payoff and low priority tasks.
Concentrate on prioritizing your tasks from high payoff to low priority.
At the top of your list should be the high payoff items with the low priority items at the bottom.  Emailing a friend to tell them about your date last night or your golf game and score does not qualify as a high payoff activity.  Following up on referrals, returning calls to current clients, generating leads, etc. are tasks that qualify as high payoff activities.  Generate the business first because that is what generates income. Everyone knows this but for some reason we just don’t always focus on it and make it happen.
5. Honor thy calendar!
Effective multi-tasking also relies on effective time management and that means, whether you like or not, working from a calendar. Without having to keep everything in your head, complicating your already busy life - you can write it down and let it go to some extent.  You don't have to stress about forgetting it because it will be in your calendar.  Honoring thy calendar can actually provide a lot of relief and control in your life.
Try it.  You will be glad you did.
Schedule EVERYTHING - even showers, eating, drive time, working out, etc.
Through trial and error you will learn the best time for you to do certain tasks.  Take exercise for instance; some people work out in the morning, while others prefer the evening.  Schedule your tasks for time optimization.  You can even color code certain tasks for easy, quick-glance reference.
If you are like me, you might have a tendency to schedule more than you can handle.  To avoid feeling like you're always running behind, schedule your tasks and add 'buffer' time to each; say 15 or 30 minutes.  If you actually do finish before the time allotted, then you have the gift of getting ahead on your schedule.  If you are like me, there never seems to be a shortage of items on my list, so getting head feels really good.
If you have several activities that are alike or similar, do them all at the same time. This will help cut down on the chaos of the day and avoid the excessive need to change hats more than necessary.  Consider setting specific times you check your email throughout the day instead of checking it constantly.  When you can focus your energy on similar activities, it maximizes your effectiveness.  You can even go as far as only taking client calls at certain times throughout the day, instead of answering the phone every time it rings. Have someone answer the phone, or simply set up your voice mail to explain what time you pick up messages and when the caller can expect a return call.  An even better way to handle this would be to schedule a phone appointment to ensure time efficiency.
Calendaring may take some getting used to, but it really does make your life simpler by maximizing time and performance. You will feel in control of your life and enjoy it even more. With improved efficiency and great time management you will get more done in a shorter amount of time - all with less stress.

Learn the fundamentals of the game and stick to them. Band-Aid remedies never last.

BUSINESS TIPS - Business know- how

Get Holiday shopping done in one day
                                                           By Patricia Schaefer

With me today on business circle is Patricia from business know how, and she will be our guest today as she talks about holiday shopping. Let me assure you of great fodder on her side. Enjoy the piece as well as your shopping.

Prepare for the big day Make Your List The first thing you'll need to do is make a list of everyone you need to buy a gift for. Try not to leave anyone out; you don't want to have to make additional shopping trips. Use your address book as a guide, and don't forget to include those people who may not immediately come to mind; i.e., mailman, newspaper delivery person, garbage men, teachers, students, secretary, coworkers, boss, neighbors, hair dresser, manicurist, babysitter, house cleaners, and pets. Include any seasonal charitable donations you may want to make. As an added "insurance policy," plan on purchasing one or two extra generic gifts that can be used for anyone forgotten, or for someone who may drop by with an unexpected gift. For your list, you can create your own template, or if you use Microsoft Word, you can use the templates feature to download a gift list template from Microsoft.com. The list template has spaces to enter your recipients' name, gift idea, color, size, location and even has a box to check off when that person is "done." Print out this list -- it will be your companion as you shop. Don't sweat it if you don't know what to give everyone; part of the fun of holiday shopping is discovering great new gifts.   Budget Wisely Now that you have your list, you might want to decide on the total dollar amount you can spend without "breaking the bank." Then decide how much will be allotted to each person on your list. Make up your mind that you will stick to these amounts; of course, a few dollars' difference here and there is fine. Be Fit to Shop Get a good night's sleep the night before the big day, and plan on eating a healthy breakfast, including some protein for added stamina. For those who plan on doing traditional shopping, set out your most comfortable clothes and walking shoes. If you typically carry a pocketbook, and it weighs more than your first-born child, remove everything in that bag that isn't essential to your goal at hand. Try to avoid wearing very heavy outer garments that will most likely end up being carried in your arms. Try to Go When it's Slow If possible, you'll want to shop on a weekday (Mondays and Tuesdays are typically optimum), as weekends are far more crowded and will only slow you down. Sooner is also better than later for online and catalog shopping; delivery times need to be factored in and may vary between merchants. Safety First Along with crowded stores at holiday time come criminals; car burglars and pickpockets to name a few. Don't let the hustle and bustle of holiday shopping leave you careless and vulnerable to holiday crime. Plan to be alert and careful as you shop. It's Time to Shop Traditional Shopping versus Online and Catalog Shopping Only you can decide which method or methods of shopping is best for you. Online and catalog shopping continue to account for a greater percentage of holiday purchases with each passing year. On the rise as well are retailers that allow customers to buy online and pick up their purchase in the store, and to return to the store items bought online as well. Ads by Google Shopping online from the comfort of your own home can indeed save you money, time, gas and aggravation. You can also find great holiday shipping rate bargains as well. Every year more and more online shopping sites offer free holiday shipping to customers, or free shipping if you purchase more than a set minimum amount; i.e., more than $50, $75. Just be sure to check the last available date for holiday shipping rate discounts. Comparison shopping is also a breeze online. Sites like Yahoo ( http://shopping.yahoo.com/)  and Google (http://www.google.com/prdhp) make it easy to find and compare products and pricing. For the budget-conscious, it makes great sense to search online to get the best price. If you use online or catalog shopping for out-of-state gifts, the merchant can ship it directly to the recipient's address, and you'll save time and bother on wrapping and those long lines at the post office. On the other hand, you can't actually see or inspect an item online or in a catalog, or try it on. Errors in billing are also more common, and returns can be more difficult. And you'll need to be aware of any shipping and handling fees, which can sometimes be exorbitant. For example, it would not make sense to order one low-cost single item where the shipping fees double the original cost. Care must also be taken to protect your identify from online theft.  If you’ve never purchased from a merchant before, check them out first with the Better Business Bureau (http://www.bbb.org/us/Find-Business-Reviews/).  Also avoid online merchants who do not answer their phone or do not provide telephone or other contact information. Suggestion: Conduct your traditional holiday shopping at the very start of the day when you are most fit and rested. You'll get to fully enjoy -- see, hear, taste, feel and smell -- the full holiday shopping experience. When you've had enough -- or run out of ideas -- go home to the comfort of your own home, make yourself a cup of tea, and finish off those last few "hard-to-get" people while you page through a catalog or view some online shopping and comparison sites. Shop at online sites that offer free shipping to optimize shipping and handling savings. Make the Most of Your Time Don't waste your time or gas money driving here, there and everywhere in search of the perfect gifts. Select one local shopping mall or outlet center, or a small number of stores in a limited geographic area. Once you reach your shopping destination, do not scope out an entire store or mall first to see everything it has to offer. Simply purchase your items the first time around. One of the best ways to optimize your shopping time is to buy a variation of the same item for a number of people. So, if you have five nieces, and you come across a hat, scarf and glove set that you absolutely love -- and the store has it in at least five different colors -- you're all set. Multi-item purchasing is also a great way to save on shipping and handling fees; generally, the more you spend and purchase, the less shipping cost per item. Don't second-guess your gift selections. If you bought "Aunt Madeline" a beautiful warm throw, and then you spot something you think she'll like better, resist the urge. Once you cross someone off your list, consider them "fini." If you don't, you'll simply waste valuable time. The very act of shopping amidst holiday decorations, songs of good cheer, and a cornucopia of eye-catching gift selections cause some individuals to throw caution to the wind, forget about their pre-planned budget limits, and find them adding "just one more gift" again and again to the mix. If you do find yourself swept up in the spirit of the season, stand firm against "buying" more. Instead, think about applying that same holiday spirit to your community; volunteer some of your time to a lonely soul, or give to someone truly in need. What to Do for the "Hard to Buy" People on Your List If you're like most shoppers, every year there is usually one or more people on your list who are exceedingly difficult to buy for. An absolutely terrific way to not only find the perfect gift for these people, but actually enjoy yourself along the way, is to go to shopping sites like surprise.com or findgift.com. You can search by traditional categories like "occasion," and "hobbies & interests," or creative categories like "always cold," "gadgeteer," or "stressed out." A recent search on findgift.com for my impossible-to-get-for Dad in the "Hard to Buy For/Seniors" category had me doing cartwheels when I found an "Apollo Program Pin Set" from the 11 manned Apollo missions. Dad worked as an aeronautics engineer on a number of these missions. Suggestion:  First peruse shopping sites for gift ideas. Pick out your items, and then go to a comparison site like Yahoo Shopping and Google Shopping to get the best price for each particular item. The Lincoln Logs Classic Edition Frontier Cabin was recently priced at $39.99 on a popular shopping site. The identical item on Google Shopping was priced from $29.99 to $49.99, depending on the vendor. Purchase it at the lowest price and you've just saved yourself some money. Follow the game plan outlined above and you can reasonably expect to get your holiday purchases completed in one day, and maybe even enjoy a jubilant shopping journey as well. As with anything else, be realistic. Even if there are a few gifts left to get at the end of the day, your concentrated efforts will most likely have resulted in a greater shopping efficiency than usual. This will go a long way in making your holidays less stressful and considerably more festive. Copyright 2011, Attard Communications, Inc. Patricia Schaefer is a staff writer for Business Know-How.

EDITORIAL:/ MORALS

Can you just imagine that AIDS has consumed almost thirty million people globally and that thirty three million again across the world are victims of this pandemic? Put in mind that HIV is a controllable and even avoidable virus. Humanity can really be careless and avarice. We are given time to grow but practically, very few take such a note and focus on growing themselves. It is very regrettable that such a massive number are infected. The solution to Aids and any other mean habit is not about seeking the service of a watchman but rather to elevate the level of your morals. Our society today tumbles and wobble hopelessly on the walls of fallen principles. Breakdown on societal behavior has cost dearly on community and people. And we would like to urge people to take a moment and evaluate your life and how you live it.  We cannot continue to adapt to the same style of life that is depleting society slowly by slowly. We must change our attitudes and our view points on some things. On this blog therefore we bring you incisive and objective issues that touch on your life. In one way, we are all victims of certain notions in life. Right here we have incorporated all round areas on life our vantage point being society, we have a segment on books, poetry, business, anecdotes and bible study.

BIBLE STUDY

In moments like these ones that we live in, many honorable tenets are diluted and it is hard to tell what is right and wrong. Notions have clouded the air some of which seeks to mislead the vulnerable people in society. It is at this point again where Satan has found a dwelling within the lives of majority and made a sumptuous meal out of them. Currents of life waves have washed some people and drove them to irrelevant places that they know little about. I believe it is high time we secured our safety before we are preyed on. In this vicinity, we would like to declare the supremacy of the one who makes it possible for all of us and center his interests to the quarters where little is expected. A person can ordinarily escape major bruises in life on the basis of these principles. Awareness is a medicine to failure, being extensively informed follows in closely and living as a highly sensitized person cannot be under rated. Ignorance is a costly liability that will always see you bending and worshiping the feet of your enemies and oppressors. Understanding the importance of the principles, right here on this blog, we cannot let a generation lose focus to temptations if they ever exist in our midst. Remember on the onset, we informed you the core reason of youtooformorality. It is here to play the role of a parent. We want you as our child to get inimitable parenthood that will give you edge over may issues of life. That is precisely why we are obligated to guide you in the right direction. Let every information you ever read on this blog drive you somewhere within the realm of your future expectations. If ever it will stir you to change your life for better, then we give glory and celebrate your success. Bible study for that matter is a highly recommended discipline for someone to embrace in order to know the corners of this life. You can only appreciate God to the level that he deserves if only you have posh understanding of who he is and what his role is in your life. That cannot happen unless you choose to know and elevate your radar of spiritual knowledge. Here we signal content and full understanding. Reading your bible is one way of building firm foundation of your spiritual journey. You don't have to be saved to know who Jesus is. Do it for fun and just educate yourself. Nothing beats self-teaching around this world. A bible is another work of literature that needs to be appreciated as a piece of art and allow it to tell its story. On this segment, we will point out kernel advisable ways on how to understand and appreciate the bible as a work and what it has for you as an individual. We would like you to find your position in the bible and take a seat and enjoy the days of your breath. We hope it will serve you best and teach you something to add to what you already know or rather just learn a new principle altogether. On the editorial desk, I would like to wish you a fabulous and fantastic time as you have a moment with your bible.

P.S. Just keep in mind that Aids kills and it is no joke. You must take precautions to save your own life. Zero infections, deaths and discrimination is what we want.

AIDS PANDEMICS

I am interrupting our normal schedule to talk about Aids. Today is the 1st December and as a tradition it is a day when the world takes time and observes the major milestones made in the fight against HIV/AIDS since its first discovery in early 1981. Between that period when the first victim succumbed, there has been a record of twenty five million more deaths world wide. About thirty three million people world wide are HIV infected. It is such a massive number of people to loose, the fact being that, Aids is a disease that can be avoided. Market information about HIV/Aids, how one can get infected, risks and controls have been brought out extensively and there is no one who can claim ignorance confidently as justification. And if it happens that there is some one out there who believes that the battle has not been well served, then today is the perfect day to lay claims aside and focus on finding information on Aids related issues. Ignorance and again I emphasize ignorance will never be and shall never be a reason to talk about and cite as the chief impediment to be stuck, to lag behind and lack something or be a victim of a named circumstance be it the said virus. In our earlier articles we emphasized that your life is your own responsibility and that you must play your part diligently. Aids is not an inevitable  thing. It can be averted if we choose to respect ourselves. Sex kills people and it has caused many a major land slide and reduced their lives to shame, prejudice and apathy, get it, you are not an exception if you choose to listen to your selfish antics. Get it clear that sex is only preserved for the qualified few and if you don't make it to the list, stop engaging in premarital sex whether with your rightful boyfriend or girlfriend. The young people again are at it just like last year. Risky ages of fifteen and twenty four have refused to embrace knowledge to grow but rather diverted their energies to irrelevant matters that has no direct benefit to them now. We largely pick wrong directions that are non supportive to our futures yet we are the first to complain that there is no employment. Young people, how can you talk of lack of employment when yourselves have little concern about what you do? Why don;t you take the effort you put in ail behavior and convert it into constructive time to think about your life and your career path? The world has a theme of getting to zero whether it is about new infections, Aids related deaths or discrimination. We can only substantiate and realize such an objective by creating awareness around ourselves and spreading the same message to our peers. As a young person, take responsibility and know what your life needs from you. Your life needs leadership and direction. Don't sink your own boat to short term affairs. You have thirty or fifty years ahead of you, think about them.

P.S. I will be introducing our special feature on Bible study tomorrow including the areas of discussion and the reason and the why we need one.

CAREER GROWTH

Genuineness: Today let us address the attitudes that people embrace in their lives and extend them into careers and sometimes turn them into lifestyles. If we take the man in the poem for example, look at the manner in which he talks and present his needs to God. He takes everything for granted and he has no sense at all to understand whom he is dealing with. His self nature makes him think that God operates like a puppet. The man mistakenly assumes that he can tailor both the priest and God to grant him the wishes regardless of how he lives. On many occasions, people portray such images as the one mentioned in the poem. Humanity always wants things on a silver platter. You don't want to engage your effort in something but seriously expect a result to take place. People don't consider the ways of life yet they expect God to just do something for them. Really, can we be genuine with our lives and aspirations? Why don't people play their part first before calling for help? Behaving in this timid and nebulous manner is like leaving your door open at night and expect something to come in and secure your security. What is the reason for being careless and acting as if you're unconscious? The message in the poem is very simple and clear. Don't expect to reap where you didn't sow. Nothing happens on its own. You must initiate your own changes and growth. Proof your worth before asking for recognition. As a purposeful career person, strive to be yourself and always act on genuine intentions. Your career will only grow to the extend of your mentality. Force yourself out of the thinking level of a common person. Ten percent is foolishness. Go out in the wilderness and look for the missing percentage. If you don't do that, you will always be stuck in the past and behave in outrageous manner just like the man in the poem. Save the embarrassment and choose to be genuine and competent to know when to say what and how.

                      about my bills
                      about my demotion
                      about my failure
                      about all these
                      World With End

O Man about all these
                            See Your Reverend Priest
                            See Your Comrade Fortune
                            See Your Comate Nature

O Lord let My Cry Come Unto You
O Man Do you hear my Sermon?

O Lord cannot I see your face

O Man empathy is mine, sympathy is yours,
O Man You'll never see My Face

  O Lord Then You Are Not of Mercy of Grace!

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

How do you spend you life?: Walking around and stepping on other people's feet? Humiliating and torturing those whom you have responsibility over? Or misusing people around you? Anyway, there is an incident in the air that causes me to wonder everyday. A man in his early forties is misbehaving around. On a typical days , he is your ordinary business man with even dedication and know-how. You can easily mistake him as a good man. On Sunday, you will find him in a church preaching. People, meet him on a different quarter, and you will be surprised. The man suppresses the family. He can barely act responsibly. H e refuses to mind his language regardless of what many people know him for. My concern is not about what he does or doesn't. But the rather the sense of pretense amongst humanity. Don't people know that what they do today has a ramification in future? You know, character and attitude that you engage in your life has a lot of sya on you. Have sometime to understand yourself and what you do. Everything you do now is just a seed that will later emerge to tell your story. Mind what you do with your life. Don't anger people in the vicinity and take it easily. You might regret one day.    

CAREER CROWTH

Starting a Career: This segment again is informed by the tenets of the poem. You are just starting out, at what point in your career do you let your fingernails get dirty? At one point you were a clean person, where did greed inform your choice of undertakings in your career? Why do you now like short cuts? Does the smell of money make you loose sense and your humane? Look here, being at the first step of your ladder is a good step in life. Take time and learn the cost of beginning. Learn the kind of discipline needed to initiate something. Know that a seed takes time to grow, mature and finally in the right season give forth fruits. Don't plant today and expect harvest the following day. It never happens that way anywhere on earth. You must strive with your curiosity and hard work to make something happen. Let your starting point determine how strong you are going to be in future. Career world is turbulent and has a lot of hurricane. Don't look at quick mischievous habits that will compromise your future existence. Life is lived at one step at a time. You cannot have everything at once. Anything you want must be nurtured and build with your original and honest efforts. Easy money is sweet, but the afterward is very much costly and demanding. Take your time and grow your career to maturity. Learn the challenges within your profession and how to tackle them. Get the knowledge and take the pain of being a novice.It always pays to have requisite patience that orders success.

I refuse to take your brotherly Hand: Henry Barlow


Your nails are black with dirt, brother
And your palms are clammy with sweat
I refuse to take the hand you extend in help.
I shall not join hands with you brother
For unclean hands make me uneasy
For filthy fingernails rob me of my pride.


You argue, gesticulating with your once 
Impeccable clean and beautiful hands
That before long it shall not matter
For 'everybody' is delving and digging
And all shall have hands dipping with dirt.


That nobody shall know what clean hands look like
And there shall be comfort in the dirty crowd
And enough to eat, for there are good yields
When the stinking manure is well dug in
With strong and bold hands in time.


Are you going blind brother?
I ask how many have sludge 
Or the strong and bold hands like yours
With which to dig and delve?
Brother the hands of many are too weak with hunger
And for many the sludge is out of reach
And yet for others the stink is too nauseating!
But all have eyes and hunger fills them with anger
As they watch your fingernails fill with dirt!


I have seen hungry envious eyes
Watching silently through your chain-link fence
I have seen eyes in deep sunken sockets
Burning with anger intently watching you
I have seen parched mouths water with saliva
And heard the rumbling of hollow enemy stomachs
As they watched you feed the dog with meat
From the heavy yields of the city sludge.


Have you entirely forgotten Brother
The fragrance and comfort of clean hands?
The confidence, the peace you have when you know
You'll leave no ugly smudge upon the sheet?
Don't you remember the repulsion you had
When you shook hands with fat dirty men
With their dirty clammy palms?


Let me alone brother and from the top of the cliff
Don't offer your dirty hand in help.
Let me trudge the long way up 
For the short cuts are soiled and slippery
Your palms are clammy with the sweat of fear
And your fingernails are clogged with dirt.


Look at Kenya, the definition of a Kenyan and how they carry themselves. There is always greed and arrogance. Those on the bottom gap will always fight for space and even their own breath. The campaign season is in the air and I think it is high time we found this bold person to tell my politician who wants to defile the environment this refrain,' I refuse to take your brotherly hand' Corruption must end. There is no question today but rather just Let and open session to share your thoughts about the poem and what you think its impact on our current society.

CAREER GROWTH

Handling yourself at work: Building the nation is where today we would take our career lesson. You have seen how the permanent secretary handles himself at work. He abuses the office and incurs a lot of redundancy. He uses state resources to attend to his petty personal agendas. His self --cent-redness do not allow him to consider even his own chauffeur for a cup of tea. Such aspects can be found everywhere in work place. Bosses and strong office holders looking at the positions they hold, choose to play around and bring a lot of inconvenience at work. Introduction of such cultures of laziness and self centeredness  in career is so mean. A boss behaving unprofessionally in the face of his/her juniors is so demeaning. It is not an advisable move in career, you as a senior to those under you tag you with a certain name because of what you do is actually not a good picture at all. Don't loose respect in front of your juniors as you will literally have a difficult time passing a message in future. If career wise you as an individual manage other people, always strive to be professional and perform your duty with work ethics. Draw the line between office matters and personal affairs. The fact that you're in charge of an organization's assets, you don't have an edge over anything. Cease from using those properties be it about vehicles or any other equipment. Handle yourself with dignity in case you are looking to make an impact on your career or even about earning respect in your job description. Many managers are prone to precariousness and disordered nature, know that it is your responsibility as a top person in your company to always stick to policy work regardless of who you are. Many self employed individuals get away with these kind of behavior but it is not a nice move at work place. Just be yourself and work as per stipulated policy in your distinct places of work..    

LEISURE: POETRY

Building the Nation By Henry Barlow


Today I did my share 
In building the Nation.
I drove a permanent Secretary
To an important urgent function
In fact to a luncheon at the vic.


The menu reflected its importance
cold Bell beer with small talk, 
Then fried chicken with niceties
Wine to fill the hollowness of laughs
Ice- cream to cover the stereotype jokes
Coffee to keep the PS awake on return journey


I drove the permanent secretary back.
He yawned man times in the back of the car.
Then to keep awake, he suddenly asked,
Did you have any lunch friend?
I replied looking straight ahead
And secretly smiling at his belated concern
That I had not, but was slimming!


Upon which he said with a seriousness
That amused more than annoyed me,
Mwananchi, I too had none!
I attended to matters of state.
Highly delicate diplomatic duties you know
And friend, it goes against my grain,
Causes me stomach ulcers and wind.
Ah, he continued, yawning again,
The pains we suffer in building the nation!


So the PS  had ulcers too!
My ulcers I think are equally painful 
only they are caused by hunger,
Not sumptuous lunches!


So two nation builders 
Arrived home this evening 
with terrible stomach pains
The result of building the nation 
Different ways.


This poem well articulates the characteristics of not politicians alone, but also some powerful people in an organisation. It captures the proximity especially in our country and what a regrettable gesture by the said leaders. Basically the reason behind having such a forum in this blog is about weeding our society and our lives. Every moment we are going to mention a vice in this segment, I it would be very noble for you as an individual as well to recheck your life and correct the malice within your area of life.  The said issues in this poem cuts across our lives and we have no option but to reconsider the moves we make in our daily life.


Consider this:

1. Supposing you're the PS and one day you discover that your subjects are so dissolution ed with your habits, what will you do?
2. I don't want to ask you about who is the persona, rather I would like you to tell me the lessons that this poem , building the nation has on you as an individual.
3. How can we eradicate the highlighted vices in: (a) our lives, (b) our society, (c) our country?
4. Suggest one way you as an individual can deploy deploy to build this nation positively.

WHY BOOKS IN SOCIETY?

Apart from what we saw as the cultural value of books, think of it, why should we have them in the first place in society? Times have changed and they have also evolved with time. Their prowess in prehistory is still the same. Having presented the most respected content of all times, the gospel of the Lord was presented in a form of book known to many of us as the bible. I believe there were other ways that that message could be passed. But bible as a book was what humanity was given. Why do you think it had to happen so? Why books in society is my question. As a speaking agent, books are designed to have all considerations under one roof. They have the voice, the character, audience, skill, listeners as well as followers. They have remained a humble facet but with enough authority to speak and be listened to by masses. World memories are preserved in them as well as controversial malice that can break and tear apart a life. Look at humanity, many have been led astray with the very same content that has instilled knowledge and reshaped thousands. Those who had their skills honed under its roof cannot get enough of it while to some, books are a loathsome affair yet they have been bestowed with the role of redeeming the society. So how do we get to have books feed the society and get to be understood as they are supposed to be? You claim to be a reader, How do you get the book to serve your interests and attend to your needs and satisfy you? Get the point clear, books have a place in this society and no one will take their position but themselves. Among the tasks that books need to perform include the main one being just about meeting man on the crossroad and making him decide amicably and choose one option. They play a role of a negotiator. Sometimes they are the comforter and at certain occasions based on what circumstance one faces, they naturally come in handy as a solution and guide. Basically you would not get the kernel aspect of a book unless you mind to understand why they exist. When you are reading, what do you really do, listen or read? Let us start from there. In a book you find a story and inside this story, there is a lot of things that you need to take note of in order for you to get that ultimate achievement of reading. When you sit down to read, just go there ready to listen. Someone is speaking and you're at the receiving end. Be the fan in a concert. All angles of every word has an essence to you. That crowd in the book depict humanity in real life situations that a common man goes through on a daily basis. You just have to look around and find your position and take a seat. The fact that we don't know this man called Jesus, many have gone ahead and accepted him and some even know him better through text. You achieving such an effort is not an under rated factor. There is a way to to approach your books so that you get to the center and be taught about a certain invention or technology. History is very prolific and clear about books. Society needs to open up and place the needed value on books and and let them perform their duty as is supposed to be. The society being me and you, we have to recognize the place of a book in our life. Ignorance is a wide spread disease, and don't you think that you will beat it in class. Out here too, there is something that you cannot compare with class. Any challenge that human race goes through today has an equal solution tackled in a particular book.               

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Talent: It may be just a word we hear being mentioned from one corner to the next. Some have heard about it and got curious and sought its path. Others practice it and utilize it extensively in their lives whereas a super majority have little to do with it. We are typically reminded that everyone on the face of the earth has something special that has been implanted in their lives to specifically benefit them and society. A skill that you don't have to struggle to do a duty. As a person, you have the responsibility to unearth that strength. You need to fully understand yourself and recognize you strong holds. Take time to listen to yourself and get in touch with your intuition and be quick to interpret its impulses that time to time brings forth. This God given opportunity is in everyone of us. It is supposed to help you identify which career field you belong into. It requires homework and commitment. Sometimes we don't have to go through what we face had we taken time to know ourselves. Take talent discovery as your personal role and work towards knowing you. Mostly monitor your areas of interest and what you like doing effortlessly in your free time. Know that thing that you normally do and it gets you revitalized and you enjoy doing it. Become a better you and revolunize your life by living within the hemisphere of your talents. Steve Jobs told people to find what they really love, because it is in what you love doing that every corner of your energy and mind are fully involved. You need to live a complete person. Don't have an imbalanced life where you are only standing on one foot. The gem is to stay foolish to understand what best describes you and your life.

CAREER GROWTH

Who Changes the World?: The fact that we have seven billion people around the globe doesn't necessarily mean that they are solutions when life needs them. Changes are brought about by a small number. Not all minds of the world is ready to stand to a challenge and settle it. The fact that life is free, remember that not all are alive and free. Work place is graced with all sorts of people. Those who want to make something happen while others may be satisfy their interests. In career therefore, how do you get to impact life and make a lasting impression? Life is to be lived and duty performed. Bring yourself out and find your niche. Tell what makes you and ignites your heart once you do it. Show the audacity of your convictions by living them out. Change your world using your character. Shape your career world through the embedded strengths that requires less to be ignited. Your career will only even empower yourself after you take necessary steps to function this way and adhere to personal targets that you set as guides. Have the kind of discipline that will groom you into a better person as time goes by. Our world is only touched by the actions of a handful who boldly defy the odds and stop listening to voices of doom and retrogressive views. If you are change oriented, then be ready to fight culture, dogmas, routine and set yourself apart and speak on your own terms. 

BOOKS

For a long time now, books have remained as an arguable pantry that the human knowledge can't get enough off. They have served thousands of people in the past, and they continually serve the same purpose even today. Being a cistern and repository of life, they have preserved the history, irrigated the society with their endless ocean of knowledge and gone further to condemn and criticize bad policies in life be it about people or nations. Books have kept the world best lessons that many struggle to get and understand. They have the trait of equipping and refining people who recognize their value and purpose. They wash and clean the soul and mind in a way that beats best description. On their submission feet, people confess, take oaths, repent, relinquish wrong notions, open up and listen to voices of reason. Many come out scoured and ready to pick new ways and some loosen their belt and get to listen and accept to adapt. The value of books surpasses their cost and remains largely as an irrefutable inscription that life will ever have because they store what we see and forget. They record a season's atmosphere and mind the generations. That is why culturally, their value has not been ignored nor looked down upon. They serve as agents of social and cultural change especially in fighting against chauvinism and practices that are demeaning and discriminating among people in society.  We could not be where we are now in terms of development if it were not for the bold and dedicated people who chose to speak for the voiceless at a time when democracy was abused and disparaged. Selfless souls put forward their best foot using their pens and helped restructure and shape life to consider changing from attitudes and thoughts that were backward. We also take books as a royal road to enable us enter the realm of imagination. It is at this pulpit where creativity is born and established into products and improvements to way of life. At this royal road, people come in terms with themselves and settle scores. Some choose the conscious way of life and mean to be learners and speak to their hearts and mind to attain peace holistically. They are also mirrors of so many cultures that a lot of ethnic communities around world celebrate and preserve. Every country needs history, and we cannot have an authentic picture unless we learn from what is round and was done before. People need to pent up and there is no correct alter than what books offer. They used to temporarily put our egos in a box by the door and gives one an opportunity to confess and recognize ourselves. I can't tell it better. Every human being at one point needs that kind of rechecking in their lives. People have to be real and just be themselves. Know what you are doing and why. Other than that, books have also proven to be a very important source of personal development. You need to grow and it's your material to propel you to someplace. Testimonies are in the air and believe it, it is not a mean feet. I have personally witnessed that and I think it is the same wavelength with many readers across and around this globe of life. Books too are sources of entertainment, escape and personal reflections. Humanity is a question of decisions. Every area of a human being involves making a choice in one way or another. People need to reflect and get the best direction.  They are also a bridge that enable people experience other modes of being. Evert aspect of an occurrence has been captured and there it is being relayed to you in form of art as it happened. Books in society also are windows of the past. It is at this corners where we look at things in the ancient and pick requisite lessons to aide us forge forward. Books being a treasured asset that life has ever posed, they need to be respected and left to speak by their own..       

CAREER GROWTH

Character: People need to portray befitting habits to climb the ladder of career path. Character is not only necessary at work place, but also at personal level.To avoid many embarrassments and bruises here and there in your career, consider rechecking and pruning protruding unwanted manners that can make you regret. Future is a must for everyone so long as you are not planning to die soon. You must plan your life and bahave in a way that is expected in a profession. Some careers are so demanding and exposed than others. On another observation, there are careers which will only prosper based on the character of an individual. Self made career personalities such as people in the creative industry, businesses and all inventors cannot escape this pool. You must behave to stir your own success. Character is not only needed in the said professions, every person has to grow their respected habits in their career. As a career person, do away with such childish ways of living for example being abusive and behaving immaturely especially in your language and interaction with other people. Someone must know that everyone deserves dignity and to be treated with respect regardless of who they are. Break those social grades that seeks to discriminate others on the basis of where are they, what do they have to qualify anything be it fitting in a certain group of people who you think as important. Everyone is God's creation and you have no right to question anything about them. Therefore, develop your character in order to always present yourself as expected in career. Have professionalism and commitment needed. We need to progress and thus be aware of yourself and what you do so that you should not cut the tree that you are standing on.     

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Reading: As a form of personal development, reading takes different dimensions and embraces several units. Reading touches on listening skill, eye contact, creating pictures, interpretation of text, and assessment. What you become after sampling a material is what I will define here as reading. You're what you read. Come out blatantly and showcase the relevant of whatever you were studying. Employ all the angles as mentioned to enhance entertainment, reflection, pent-up and appreciation of a work as a piece of art to bring out its main purpose. Your books are not just words put together and presented, there is more to it than that. Artists and all members of creative industry don't exist to please the eye. They were born and designed to do what they do not for a show but as one way where the higher one uses to demonstrate His presence and pass His message of power. You just can't imagine that someone can create something out of themselves and become so accepted and interesting and soothing as well. When you are reading, there are so many elements that comes across your path. You need that keen eye to notice something divine about the whole process. That cannot happen anywhere other than in the personal development so that someone gets to discover and understand some aspects of life. If you don't take time to know, then you won't know. You  would be that average person who operates on paucity. An average person mostly is composed of ten percent of the total information that a world can offer. There is a whopping ninety percent crying somewhere unattended to. As an individual, you have a task to look for the ninety percent and fill the gaps in your life. Read to grow and help yourself have a stitched life. Listen to recognize and engage analysis to assess the importance of any material that comes within  your reach.

"There is no one more miserable human being than the one is whom nothing is habitual but indecision."

PARENTHOOD

When we talked about the content in life, we mentioned that people are one of the elements that makes up life. Within people, we have families. That is how we form this wide spread stream of individuals living together and which results into nations and continents. Family is a thread that goes around them and brings them together and enable them to share interests and ties. Amidst what we call family, we have some people called fathers and some mothers and a further stretch gives forth to another grope called children. It is a repeated procedure and format that is painted all over the face of life. The only difference is the motives and principles over which such families are founded on. Some are brought about through culture, some routine and others might be just be a natural occurrence that counteracted their journey to somewhere. Inside these founding factors, lies a major riddle that has not received successive response. Whereas some can point to something as being the source of who they are now, there is a looming paradox ism of what really is the right formula to parenthood. People grow and comes to a certain age and they think that it is at that juncture where they need to assume a new leave and they practically take action and jump the broom or cross the road. Whether in ignorance or informed nature, it takes place. Some found it happening and cued in without considering to question anything. That is how life is supposed to be some thought so. There is no sold and grounded background under the arms of some families. When we look around, the thought of not having considered that line of direction is largely spread along. Among other groups in this similar life, The decisions to assume new life has become a burden and to some a serious mistake that is highly regretted. If we delve into all factors in the interest of a child, we find the situation to be exacerbated as many children around the globe rarely get the kind of security and protection they deserve. The issue here in form of a question is that, is parenthood meant for everybody? Does everyone has the relevant requirements to clinch that title? What of these school going children who meets with this nightmare amidst their journey? Since we found families in this life, must we just choose it simply because it is a routine within our reach even if we know well that we don't have what it takes to be parents? The level of ignorance is high yet little is taking place to address the matter. People are fascinated without thinking through the whole process and more-so the responsibility part. We have a record high number of people who are becoming parents regardless of what life is equipped to offer them. Why should society punish children with issues and contents that are too complicated for their ages? Why can't people choose competence first before resting their interests if they are genuine in the first place? Don't we think it is high time we decided to level- headed about family matters and respected it and only act when we are fully informed, ready and packed with sold underpinning lessons that should determine the next step in life? It is not worthy to experience the ramshackle that  a family being the stronghold of life is going through. Can people mature up and behave as grown ups and only decide when they think they need to choose? Can we restore the dignity that family deserves? Let parents have what it takes to be parents. Don't just assume an act on assumptions and speculations. Have the desired knowledge of something that can prompt objectivity to inspire a livid decision that has complete elements to take up responsibility.            

CAREER GROWTH

Resistance: Things have changed but you are still stuck in the past. You are reading different newspapers that are portraying change of time but again all that doesn't ring a bell. You want to function the same way you first stated your career journey. New knowledge and equipments have come in and you think your old know how is suffice. Almost everything within the vicinity has revolutionized yet one is undeterred. Adamant is what you are dealing with. In short, you are stuck in a certain mud. Life changes everyday and that remains the same with your career. Resistance in life and even career kills innovation and progress. If one chooses to resist, that is like maiming a part of your body that creates an impediment to your future. Life will loose its sweetness and a person will be drowned in routine. As a career person, avoid circumstances that can lead  you in a ditch. Update your level of knowledge and open up yourself to accommodate changes. Be a good decision maker and make wise career moves that will see you grow and have a next level in your realm.      

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Knowledge: Investing money wisely has always remained as an arguable move towards one having his business agility on radar and journey to attaining dream goals of what people define as success. Chattels have remained as prime investment options for many people. You work so hard to raise fees. when you manage the said amount then an important consideration comes up. How much do you know about the field that you want to be part of? For many  people, that is their failing factor. They lack time to know a nugget on what they are supposed to know in order to buy what they want. As a result, many have been robbed and a thousand others have been double standards have pulled through their eyes. I thought this was interesting area to look at in our development precinct as it is an issue of concern. Everyone happens and hopes to one day have a life of their own definition and posses one two properties. When you are looking for something that lightens your heart and makes you feel proud of your decisions, you need to do one thing. The duty for you to perform before you play around with your money is about being empowered with knowledge. Take time and learn something. A new advert has just struck your attention with the announcement of arrival of a product or commodity. Try to investigate on your own pace before picking up a product. Life will always remain to be life and for it, there is no protocol. Take the pain to be aware of many things happening around. For you to be informed, you don't have to concentrate on area of interests. Understand something outside your field. Develop yourself based on information. Remember you need confidence to do anything. Information is all over. There is knowledge out there just about anything one need to know. Stop carrying yourself as a principal prey for those who want to turn you into a cash cow. Many people have been students of life and trust me, they are the best in town. Therefore take your step and try to know what you don't know.       

ETHICS

Ethics comes closely as morals as it also points to principles and small acts that shape a person or body. Ethics is commonly talked of under professional bodies that have established rules and policies that members of such entities need to stick to while practicing their profession. It is therefore these laws, policies, and principles that constitute ethics and codes. Whatever is termed as ethics and codes are just procedural outlines of how people should administer themselves while rendering their services in their  specified fields. The purpose of such professional bodies is to ensure that work is done in the right manner using correct means. It is there also to control fraud, misrepresentation and even breaking of the rules of a country that such members reside. Ethics is just a model over which people are continuously reminded to behave in a certain way and practice rightful procedures whenever they want to do something. Any person who is a member of a professional body understands well what codes are and their value in society. For instance, journalism could not be as credible and authoritative as it is had such principles not been laid down. Journalism is open to compromise if you ask me. But since professionals want to be known and identified with certain credentials, they therefore have to adhere to what puts them intopractice and perform their duty with dignity. Remember, the subject here is not about discussing ethics because I know that almost every career person understands what it takes to be in various professional fields. The goal or purpose of this site is to act as a prompt to always put you on notice about important areas of our lives that you need to look into at a time when rules and regulations are bend as people want an easy way out. Here, we just want to signpost that codes and ethics are not meant for work only. Even your personal life should showcase a tidbit of ethics. Take principle to your heart and let them be a part of yourself. It is not commendable to portray two conflicting images yet you're one person. Let that culturted and disciplined person that we know at work place be the same person at a coffee table somewhere in the wild. Morals and ethics is what we want our society to learn. For a society to be disciplined, it will only take the effort of your goodwill in conjunction with that one of another to make a right habit. Individuals need to be pruned and be leveled,  and the only way towards that is to observe what defines who we are supposed to be and respect it. Something to put beside your mind is, as put by my hallowed mentor Harv is that, nothing has a meaning until you give it a meaning. Red is not color red until someone calls it red. Thus, ethics cannot be ethics unless we choose to adapt to what they say and do as required. Redundancy, procrastination and all other unethical behaviors could not be a description of some people and institutions if everyone assumes the right way of performing duties. Our society today could not be what it is if people decided to live in the expected manner. Keep life simple and interesting by always doing something be it duty or at personal angle in the right way. Small acts tailor people towards being full grown individuals with every part set together. Knead your life together by being concerned member of society. Add meaning to what you always lean on by practicing to behave in a correct way in order to grow our society on right principles.

A Watch: Watches have been around with us as long as we can remember. Their only communicative prowess being their ticking rhythm. Have you ever thought beyond its normal duty of telling time, does a watch has other purposes and meaning in your life? Is it a pointer to anything in your life? Comment on this and let me hear your observations about the essence of a watch. 


P.S. It is just a thought that crossed my mind and I took hold of it.It is nothing serious but again and I think it has more than what it sounds.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Economy: Life has turned out to be an expensive affair yet people need to live. Everything is becoming scarce and a scramble to survive. Economy therefore is the word we need to learn and understand. Economy is a study of scarcity, tells us that everything is limited. People need to be careful and calculative. Know what goes where and why. Count whatever is on your table and demarcate. Time is limited, resources limited, money is limited and even man power too. If then that is the case, what does it mean to us? why should we bother to consider economics? As an individual, consider being discreet and up to the point. Be well aware of what you are doing. Check out how you are spending your time and what activities precisely are you involving with your time. Point out their relevance and value to you now and where you you project to be. Are the activities worthy your time and effort? If you find the weight to be falling, consider changing your ways and protecting your time. Look around yourself and note the kind of resources or opportunities you are exposed to. Think out how they can assist you. Find out what level of knowledge you need to take advantage of the resources. And if it happens that you lack that relevant acumen, how can you acquire it and at what budget? Once you create this kind of awareness, you get a direction of what you need to do to have what you want. Reduce your average liabilities by cutting out what you don't need. Avoid unnecessary trouble that can easily put you into cost. Cut the buying outs that are wasteful and save money. Capitalize on equipments around together with the man power to avert spending unnecessarily. If you can do a task, just do it and spare the money for other uses. Live within your means. Increase some level of discipline in your life and be mindful about almost everything you do. See the end of an action rather than its beginning. Point the changes it can bring on board whether positive or negative. Being economic can help an individual achieve a goal in one area of life be it just about a simple habit of being self aware or learn a new discipline to propel your success at individual level or career.       

MORALITY

Morality is a word used to denote the rightfulness and wrongness of an action or something. And as some know it, it is not a law nor a committal of a moral wrong sanctions any force of law whatsoever. It is a word that is enshrined in principles and guidance, a role that has been left to parents and guardians to inform the society and model to make the right choice. Whereas that duty has succeeded in the past and even now narrowly, a lot of gaps and wanting situations around people's life leaves many mouths opened and raised eye brows. Traditionally, it worked and produced men and women who portrayed character and societal values. In ancient, there was punishment meted to wrongdoers especially if they broke well set dogmas that community had to adhere to and follow. Curses among other punishments was well pronounced and most feared. Excommunication too was in place to seal up the patched people. Respect also played a role among the prominent elders that administered order in the society. If we consider ratings of yore days against today, the score cards are different. In the past, there was a lot of calm, consideration and value placed on somethings. Therefore we can say that morals were observed and maintained. Fear being the main factor that bore fruits traditionally, we cannot look at morality the same way it was carried in the days. Information is sprawled all over and it doesn't matter who is taking in on what procedure. Information is consumed by all ages. People today are so daring and would not care to listen to something that lacks credibility. Traditionally, an elder could get away with it but not in this current century.   The punishment of those days might not necessarily hold any truth or mean anything today because the source that founded them is unknown and on many occasions repugnant. Morality is exposed to danger and lacks credible roots over which it is anchored. We cannot point to a particular act to determine how to ensure its security, respect and preservation among people. It is only mentioned in one place where democracy inspires decision. No one forces another person to choose morals, so is the way how one one wants to live. Whereas liberty is so pronounced, life and circumstances around it does not take none sense as an assertion for committal of a certain thing. Society expects you to behave in decorous manner and portray the right image. For a long time now, morality has been taken as a sacrificial lamb and abused extensively. People have bought cheap habits and blamed it all on fallen state of morals. For sure the morals thermostat records poorly in this life and a lot needs to be done. Since having morals is reduced down to an individual task, those who have are countable and not sufficient enough to light the lamp of a society. Despite the under-laying factors, we cannot under rate and ignore the role of morality in a person's life. We cannot let the wall to be broken simply because it is not a law. We cannot sire a society that is precarious and weak on moral grounds. You need it, I need it, your child or friend needs it and life as a whole need them. we must do something to tighten the belt and raise the antennae of morality in our lives.         

OFF CHANGING CLOCK STICK

RETROGRESSION: "People will do almost anything to stay in their comfort zones. If you want to accomplish anything, get out of your comfort zone. Strive to increase order and discipline in your life."

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT:

CHANGE OF TIME: The word doesn't come as a new world. Indeed times have changed and this in particular knocks on you to close certain taps and open new ones on different location from the previous position. Shifting and fitting is what is happening around. Those kind of people who fathom the essence of time know that change is inevitable and that at one point, a human being must switch to something totally different to what she/he is used to. The economy is talking, so is life also. Years have changed and all have either introduced a new outlook or suggested something in that direction. So what does change of time mean for you? You want to develop yet circumstances around you want to cut you short. Someone want to leap but he/she is tied with a lot issues. Remember before I told you that your life is your responsibility? Change of time can mean so many things for me I choose to look at it in three different dimensions. In one facet, it can depict an opportunity for you to look differently to issues around you. An open mind must be quick to conceive and learn. People are achieving their financial breakthrough during these difficult times and it is a fact. See what you haven't seen before and align your life. On a similar account, change of time could be manifested in a thought of you looking back and asking yourself what that past means to you. How many mistakes did you commit? How careless have you been living? And how can you now consolidate yourself and be focused on specific priorities? Consciousness is a good thing in a person. With it, One doesn't need to be told that Christ was born. Also change of time connotes change, the need for you to adapt and choose to learn new elements that are digging up. Don't you want to grow? Kernel lesson here is to understand your environment and listen to what it puts forward for you don't need to be stuck in the past when everything else has changed. At personal level one can choose to develop and have an edge over what is pasted around by almost everyone. Time is critical and so is your life.


P.S. Simplicity is creativity and creativity is the soup in life.
