  Buzz Buzz!                  New year along many other things comes with a feeling that you have been given a new chance to start something. We feel elated, we feel energized to take the bulls by the horn, we are more encouraged to pursue new goals, not because the sun rose from the south or we won a lottery, but because it is a new year. It feels like a big reset button was hit, and our psychology concurs. But after a while, the feelings fade, the spiked morale starts dipping and we start marching almost as we did last year, so in this piece, we would be dealing with how to avoid that and start a new year properly.        Step One - Do Not Rush:                 As the new year feeling gets more robust during the first few days of the year, the more we want to fill a cardboard will goals and ta...

    “A man who stands for everything, stands for nothing” That is a phrase used to describe a man who, with alluring pressures can be swayed into every and anything. Human beings have a tipping point. A point that if reached and crossed, could cause us to be pushed into things we did not plan for. A point comes where you hear people say things like “I can’t take this anymore” “I am stressed out” “I can’t continue like this” “I quit” etc. They feel an internal or external pressure so much that they either need a quick distraction or a temporal means of relief. In this particular piece, we will be discussing; How to handle situations like this, How to perform better under pressure, And a little story why “pressure” is a no small matter.   Before talking about how to handle pressure, what is pressure? Pressure can be seen as any physical or emotional force directed at something to make it change course or direction. See it this way - you have a map to a one million, and the ...

                 It is true that a few governs the many; the minority mindset that rules the majority. Part of the reason for this is that there are few people doing things in contrast to the rest persons. Instead of trying to fit in, they emphasis on standing out. You get a reward for your uniqueness and not your similarity. If the world can not spot you in the midst of the crowd then there is no need for it to meet your needs. The world is brimming with people with supposed enlightenment especially the younger generation; people who appear learned but can not produce what learned people produce, people who appear ‘woke’ but have been stimulated into a deep slumber which is evident in their response to life and its fiery challenges. Everybody has something to say about everything and as a consumer, you are adrift. Hearing 30 persons giving 30 contrasting answers to one question is burdensome and can lead one into poor decisions.

Should We Loose Hope?     a.)     Is there still hope? Our world seems to have been broken beyond repair. Everyone is running to and fro trying to do this or that, hopes are being shattered, dreams are being abandoned. Families are being broken, government is steadily lying to its people, but, should we give up? Someone advised that we should limit our expectations because life is full of disappointments; wow. First of all life doesn’t actually owe you anything, if you want something, go and get it and depart from self entitlement. Secondly limiting your expectation is a disaster for mediocrity and we don’t wanna be mediocre, or do you? So, advising that we limit our expectation not because the world is ending tomorrow but because life is full of disappointments is an attack from a strange personnel, and the earlier we arrest that thought and cast it out of our minds the better. We shouldn't limit our visions because of life and its unavoidable calamities, ...
