Who you are and who you want to be

Being the person you dream to be and the person you are are two different aspects. One is reality and another is a fantasy that has the potential to be a reality. But often times we make decisions that goes on a path away from reality. Right now Lets focus on three things that shape us. 1. Time 2. Energy 3. Resources Your time is your life. Every moment you spend your time with someone, it means you are sharing a part of your life with them. Every time you play 6 hours on the computer which means you used 6 hours of your life on the computer. Time is that precious =). Where and who you give your time to gives a statement of who we are and who we would like to be Your energy comes hand in hand with your time I believe. What effort and energy you are willing to pour in shows it . Like for example if I play basketball and during a match I will play whole heartedly dribbling with my might and skill to pass or get to the basket....you would say " Hey, he is serious ...

Experience with children

Never thought I would get the opportunity. Was having a jamming session with my friend Mas and he just asked me to follow him to a job interview at Enopi. A tuition centre teaching Math and English. I thought since I had a month and a half break, I would rather work than rot at home. I Got the Job. Wow an opportunity to learn to love kids since, no offense, I tend to find children of this generation pretty annoying. Results.....was quite the opposite. The Challenge These were rich and smart kids.... Do the math. 6 years old doing Multiplication and division. High achievers. Spoiled brats. Seriously no offense =) Handling them ain't easy. Getting them to do their work was the least of my worries. It was getting them to sit. Oh believe me these are smart kids we're talking about here. The moment they sit and do their work, you will go, " Wow when I was your age, I did not even learn math yet" . Actually I do not remember how I came to learn numbers. Of course the...

Dating will have intimacy, may have no Commitment

" Dating leads to intimacy but not necessarily to commitment " Joshua Harris made that statement in his book 'I kissed dating goodbye '. I do not totally agree with his book and it is based on his convictions, but still he does prove a good point. Lets keep it short and simple  =)  I guarantee that most of you would not agree with what I have to share here but don't you think it makes sense? Intimacy would awaken desires that humans can't control and if we do have that commitment, it would be like promising something we can't or will not keep. Lets rephrase the title to ' Intimacy is the reward of commitment '. I believe we have no right of asking a person to satisfy your emotional and physical needs if you are not willing to make a commitment. It takes a lot to give yourself to someone (not just sex), and if you are not looking for a committed relationship would only have the person scared after breaking up with them. One may claim the...

True love nullifies dating

Humans are humans after all. I can't remember the numerous times I have stated that we no matter how objective we may want to stand, at various times allow our emotions to control us. At times yes it may be needed, but most of the time, it is acting foolishly in the end. True love nullifies dating. If you think, dating being guided by the world's attitude actually portray's the love for one's self and making decisions on what is best for me (we can go deeper on what is true love into this if you readers want it) . Yes probably we need to go deeper on true love but the question I would like to pose here is this. What is my real reason for dating?  What am I seeking in dating that friendship cannot provide?  Am I selfishly seeking my own fulfilment, to fill that empty hole in my heart, to feel like I belong, to feel complete?  What do I talk about with my partner?  Am I arousing emotions I'm not ready to meet? and for Christians, will having a relationship...

Be silent, and listen

What does it mean to wait, be silent , and listen?   Before I begin, I also be silent and think, whether this would bore you readers .....and then I continue XP  The words silent and listen are usually used in a parallel manner if you noticed. Doing these three things needs patience. There is always a time to be silent and a time to speak . One cannot listen if they are not silent. Sometimes, wisdom does not come from telling people what you know, showing them you are right, proving them wrong, later on to feel all high and mighty. Sometimes wisdom also means to be silent, hear them out, listen to all their wrongs and rights and taking it in. The right time will come to say the right words. Ever heard of.. ." It was the right thing to say, but wrong time to do it"? Yeah it is as you have read it. One can cause unfavourable damage if they keep speaking but on the other hand, one can lose opportunities when they become silent at times when they are needed to be heard. ...

FEAR

I am not sure whether I blogged on fear before. But if I did, well then take it as a second post on fear then. I am not expert on fear but this is what I know. Fear limits you . One thing is for sure, fear can come in many forms and not just the " Oh I am scared " kind of fear. Anxiety, doubts, timidity, worry, suspicion, depression, loneliness, superstition and the list goes on.              Somewhat fear is related to my previous post on being an oyster (link of the post)  which I think is about worrying and having doubts on what is outside your comfort zone that you stay in your shell not knowing what is out there. Thus, being fearful. For example, No one is afraid to say I love you, they are just afraid of the response. Now he or she worries of the response and fear of rejection. Worry is a fear. Or No one is afraid to speak up in class, they are just afraid of what people might think of them. But you also see how it limits you. T...
