The Rate of Change

The Rate of Change

Quote 1

‘The rate of change in a person is proportional to the change around them plus the change within them.’

A very good morning to you from the desk of Anthony Pan at the start of a new working week. I hope that you enjoyed your weekend and I wish you a wonderful working week ahead of you. May you excel in what you do and attain fulfilment and accomplishment by the end of each working week. Today, at the start of your working week I want to talk about the importance of individual change. Individual Change can best be defined as a personal adjustment to changes around you and changes within you. Individual Change is also related to any amendments that you are willing to make to your overall stature such as elimination of certain foods in your diet. Any changes that you make will result in a change in you. If you decided to lose weight, then the resulting change is evident when you weigh yourself again. Changes are important to an individual. We are constantly changing each second, each day, every month and every year. Anatomically, we change all the time from cell replication to hair growth and from wisdom to a new vision of our life. In the opening Quote I stated: ‘The rate of change in a person is proportional to the change around them plus the change within them.’ We can express this mathematically: C = CA + CW, where C stands for Change, CA stands for Change around you and CW is change within you. Change around you is happening all the time even though we are sometimes oblivious to such changes. Your environment is constantly changing as new buildings replaces older ones and new roads get new demarcations. The climate is also changing as you can openly see a shift in weather patterns. When I was a young lad in the UK, we always had a white Christmas. Sadly, today we no longer have white Christmases as this weather phenomenon has shifted to the end of February or sometimes the beginning of March. The value of the pound fluctuates constantly, creating eminent recessions, personal depressions and noted aggressions. Changes in the law too is constantly occurring such as Immigration, the Highway Code and the proposed Brexit. Dear Friends external changes are constantly happening and you need to be alert about these changes. Change can be likened to the flow of a river, meandering its way across the fertile lands and dropping to create waterfalls and rising to create clouds. Each water droplet that creates eventual oceans and torrent rivers goes through constant changes such as solidification, evaporation and condensation. The water droplet also gives life such as the Savanah where wildlife depends on the rain and the flow of the river to regenerate a new cycle of life. Internal change that occurs within you manifests in your mind and tries to communicate with you, telling you things of great importance. Internal change is the birth place of Aspiration. Internal change is often accelerated by Inspiration and finalised with motivation. An example of internal change is your immunisation. Acupuncture uses immunisation as a trigger to help your body heal. When a needle is injected into your skin there is a rush of blood around the needle. The needle is identified as a foreign object. Your white blood cells are waiting anxiously to pounce on it, assuming that the needle is a foreign object waiting to cause you harm. Internal change is happening all the time. To effectively combat changes that affects your health, your wealth and your life you need to change. Firstly, you need to become aware of changes around you. Reading, watching and observing are important factors to help you. Secondly, you need to coordinate each cell in your body at your command to react, respond and identify changes such as the acupuncture needle. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls take note of the formula of change. Like simple arithmetic to help you see financial changes in your pocket especially when you spend money use the formula of change to adjust to changes within you and around you. Have a wonderful working week. Be aware of changes, take notes or photos and ingest them in order to digest the changes that are happening.

The Beauty and the Beast

The Beauty and the Beast

Quote of the day

‘Everything is beautiful including you. Nothing is ugly including the beast. 8.7 million species of life create beauty that tingles with sensation when viewed in awe. We create ugliness that mingles with aggravation in a crowd of 7 billion.’

Welcome to Friday Dear Friends, the last Friday before a heart-warming welcome to Christmas Day when I shall greet you with the greatest joy. Joy is more pronounced when there is beauty. Can there be joy when there is ugliness right in front of you. You can create beauty and you can create ugliness. Beauty will make your life more enriched. Ugliness will switch you to become bewitched. Beauty is loveliness exposed artistically below the seas and above the clouds creating a filling of grandeur and splendour like a fairyland without an ending. Beauty attracts souls from the North Pole in the Artic Region down to the South Pole in the Antarctica Region. Beauty triggers you to create those wonderful goals which I classify as Golden Goals. Beauty is pretty in you, in the flowers that colour the landscape and in the animals that till the crust of the Earth. Beauty is splendour in all its glorification and is a replica of how the Heavens above look. For those that are impatient to see the glory of Heaven we must look into our little Heaven on Earth. Beauty is sheer magnificence, draped in elegance in you, in her, in him, in them and in all 7 billion of wonderful souls that take occupation of our planet. Beauty is grandeur of infinite proportions with a vast colour spectrum and a geometry of incredible shapes and sizes. Beauty is radiance like purple raindrops falling onto the ocean floor behind a radiant Sun that suns to create life. Beauty impresses and therefore has become the matchmaker of generations of people, plants and animals to come. Ugliness does not exist for the beast is often misinterpreted and placed in a cage of confusion, illusion and seclusion. Everything is beautiful from unicellular organisms to multi-organisms that roam the Earth in 2, 4 or more legs. Ugliness is something that we create. The violence around the world is created by us not by the skunk, the lion or the serpent. The cruelty to animals is by our own hands, our total neglect and our brutal selfishness from poachers to cockroaches the world over. The evil that cripples the world is by our own doing for we are always given a choice but are lured to make the wrong choice. Start with a new mind-set to change tomorrow and the day after. Look at beauty in everything especially in yourself. What is ugly is what you created in your mind. You need to change it and create a picture of beauty. Do this constantly and watch how 2016 will start changing for the better in you, in him, in them and for every individual that paces the crust of the planet Earth. I wish you a beautiful day and may you be impressed with the beauty within you and the beauty around you. May you see the glitter in the sky and if there is some litter in front of you please pick it up. May you touch the tenderness of the petal but try and avoid the sting of the nettle. May you not judge someone by their appearance but rather admire them for their forbearance. Anything that is good will always be beautiful therefore look to be good, try to be good and always exercise goodness in your heart.

Tycoons don’t siphon

Tycoons don’t siphon

Quote of the day

A Merited Individual committed to their worthy cause always gives back more than what they take. Pound for Pound, Dollar for Dollar, Yuan for Yuan, Rupee for Rupee, Franc for Franc…’

Previous Quote

‘In order to see an overall change we need to make an individual change, from the bare necessities in life to care amenities and unfair entities.’

Dear Friends, little do we know that our planet, a bluish tint in the polymorphism of all existence is actually a paradise amongst paradises. You need to hover above the Earth to see the magnificence of The Creation. It is precision engineering at its best. It is a bubbling source of life, differentiated into plants, animals and us. We see diversity in motion as they all grow, reproduce, excrete, masticate, react, respire and synthesise. Over the years man got greedier and greedier. Man lives for the day, hoarding treasures in a cove. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls, I want you to work individually or collectively to restore peace and equanimity where there is war and volatility. I want you to restore the rainforests where there is open devastation and deforestation.  I want you to prevent extinction by believing in our Religion and by making proper decisions. I want you to love like never before all of GOD’s creations. I want you to love yourself too like never before. In order to see an overall change we need to make an individual change, from the bare necessities in life to care amenities and unfair entities. I want you to take only what you need and give back what you do not need. I want you to become tycoons that do not siphon. I want you to plant a tree and free the air of pollutants. I want you to pick up the litter and stop becoming bitter. I want you recycle, get on your bicycle and to see a revival right before your very eyes. I want you to become a merited Individual that cares, shares and remains fair. A Merited Individual committed to their worthy cause always gives back more than what they take. Pound for Pound, Dollar for Dollar, Yuan for Yuan, Rupee for Rupee, Franc for Franc, Rand for Rand, Dinar for Dinar, Peso for Peso, Yen for Yen, Kuna for Kuna, Euro for Euro, Shilling for Shilling, in other words what you take you must give back in equal value. Don’t take the pearl from the oyster and then discard the remains into the sea. Pearls are for the oysters that help them to keep parasites away. Don’t drop your stub or your grub onto the floor and walk past it as if it will disappear. Pick it up and put it in the bin. What you need must be exchanged for a seed. Don’t bleed the system but feed it instead. Don’t dig a hole in the ground to extract the diamonds and leave it to nature to sort it out. Be wise and learn to improvise. Don’t be greedy and spoil the face of the Earth. Treat our planet like your home. Don’t waste and don’t haste for we are not in a race. Don’t fight, don’t spite, don’t smite, don’t fright and don’t set alight the air with words that scare. Be fair. Be fair to the hare by throwing away the snare. Be fair to the air by reducing our emissions through our constant ignitions. Switch off those hefty motors and walk instead. Dream of the paradise we once lost and reinstate it with a combined effect of recognition, coalition and collective ambition. Let us stop the inhibitions, the suspicions, the superstitions, the prohibitions and the ammunitions. Let us hold hands in prayer and utter a simple word together and that word is LOVE. Let our LOVE resonant throughout the ionosphere brushing away our fallacies in every cleft, left, right and centre. 

CHANGE

CHANGE

Quote of the day

‘Change Has Always Nurtured Growth Easily for me. You see as I grew older I knew I needed to grow stronger in mind and in body. Change helps me to do just that.’

Previous Quote

‘In order to see an effective change the world over we need first to make an individual change.’

The Formula for Success

Success = 100 – YA. 100 relates to your earthly existence, from birth to death, nothing more and nothing less.

The word CHANGE holds key alphabets which we can use as an acronym to understand the importance of CHANGE in our lives and in the lives of others not forgetting the welfare of our planet. The word CHANGE used an acronym stands for: Change Has Always Nurtured Growth Easily for me. The two key words in this acronym is Nurtured and Growth. Growth is about development, both physically and mentally. As we grow each second of our lives we grow anatomically but also we grow in many other ways that changes what happens tomorrow. Anatomical changes are about physical changes to our body. The other changes could be comical, astronomical, economical, biochemical, characterological, clinical, financial or even spiritual changes to name but a few. You are seeing changes in you and around you all the time. Where there is a need there is a demand. Today I want you to acknowledge the importance of CHANGE and how important individual CHANGE is to you irrespective of your age and how important overall CHANGE is to others and to our planet as a whole. The second word in the acronym was nurtured. The word nurtured as a broad meaning but the meaning we are concerned about today is feed. It is about feeding information to ourselves on a constant basis, day in and day out. It is about learning to reach the foothills of knowledge. It is about educating ourselves to become unselfish and wise. It is about adhering to a set of instructions that leads to positive results. It is about caring for the people that you love and for the welfare of your planet as a whole. As you grow you are constantly nurturing, consciously and unconsciously. This is what CHANGE or individual CHANGE is all about. It is about the ability to learn from your mistakes and to correct them for future encounters of something similar. The ageing process is actually a learning process. Some lessons learnt are painful and everlasting. CHANGE compensates for that. CHANGE makes you see clearly ahead of you and creates awareness of your next intention. CHANGE is personal and CHANGE is a challenge. CHANGE invokes a spirit of transformation, to transform the memories of the past, either good or bad into better memories of the future. CHANGE Dear Friends, alter negativity to create positivity. Modify bad habits to change them to good ones. Vary your schedule to invoke a desire and passion in what you do. Convert evil and upheaval for peace and serenity. CHANGE today and watch the changes of tomorrow unfold.

Chain Reactions

‘Chain Reactions’

Quote of the day

‘Chain Reactions actually are your effective recognition of changes happening to you or your surroundings. You initiate the process through a well sort out plan and from this comes a series of events relating to the change you sort.’

Start a chain reaction of idle words and you will end up with idle gossip. Start a chain reaction of hostility and you will create a living world of volatility. Start a chain reaction of smoking and you shall end your life choking. Chain Reactions is a sequence of reactions initiated by a single action like a good word or a bad word, like a gentle tap or a harsh slap, like a great thought or a feeling of distraught. The resultant reaction can bring about significant changes. Good words create good literature, bad words create distortional feelings towards one and another. Another word for Chain Reactions is the Snowball Effect where a single particle of snow can create a huge snowball and finally an avalanche. Do you seriously want to see a change in your life like anyone else? If so, then you must learn to recognise microscopic changes within you that eventually become macroscopic changes over time. One of the greatest mistakes we often make is that we want to see results immediately. We want to lose weight overnight and we want to look like the picture that came with the diet plan. We ignore to see tiny changes in us that are occurring immediately but want the overall change to start breaking ground within an hour of exercising and dieting. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls if you want to see an overall change you need to make an individual change. This is called initiation. Initiation comes from a well sort out plan. Pre-written plans are plentiful. Bookstores and newsagents are deluged with pre-written plans but a real valid and valued plan comes from common-sense. This is the inner you coming to terms with the outer world. What you want will come to you, firstly in tiny segments and then like avalanche all fat will burn, all debts will be eradicated and all dreams will become reality. Lookout for the small changes first before accepting the final product. Start a chain reaction of losing weight and you shall end up feeling great. Start a chain reaction to rid all your debts and you shall end up with a nett asset that you shall never forget. Start a chain reaction to earn more and you shall learn to earn, learn to spend and learn to save. Start a chain reaction to love and you shall create friendship, kinship, relationships and companionships. Start small, and look for small changes over a smaller time frame. Acknowledge these changes and watch the resultant reaction taking over your life. Any good changes creates a better you. Start a chain reaction to find a friend and overtime you shall know the whole world. 

A Strange way is often the best way to change your day

‘A Strange way is often the best way to change your day’

Quote of the day

‘Strangeness is about something abnormal to your normal routine. Strangeness changes the concept of current affairs and turns them into concurrent affairs.’

For someone to constantly say that you will never lose weight or become debt free makes you eventually accept that you shall be overweight and in debt for the rest of your life. Sometimes we maybe a borderline case where our weight fluctuates a few kilos over our prime weight. Sometimes we may be living on the edge, earning just enough to get by. Our income just about meets our expenses. As the years go by we epitomise this melody of living on the edge. We accept it as normal and assume that riches are for the rich. A normal lifestyle is actually characterised by elegance and is designed for all and not for one. Elegance is a very fitting word to describe the lifestyle of any human being. Elegance is about sophistication, grace and class. Sophistication is about acquiring a wealth of knowledge in a broad category. Grace is about your poise, beauty and refinement. Class is about your flair broaden by your sophistication and grace. When you realise that you need to be elegant you will immediately see or feel something strange. You will have that inner stimulus triggered possibly by my inspirational values and concepts to make a change from you’re so called normal life to an abnormal life. This abnormal life is actually a normal lifestyle that people do not want you to enter into. Selfish people want these categories of elegance for themselves and make you believe that you will always be want you are. You need to shift this mentality of a so called normal life to an abnormal life by making your life epitomised with elegance. When you steer your craft into a physical and mental change the appearances of this change will be strange. Your body adapts to this change. Your mind soon accepts this change. Your current affairs is altered and shifted into a rhapsody of concurrent affairs. You suddenly choose to walk rather than travel by car, you read more and learn new words. Your body moves in harmony with this change and fat is neutralised into muscle power. You feel that you are drifting into an abnormal state when you are actually veering into a normal mode. People have forced you into the previous state, now you have shifted this concept and remained elegant for the rest of your entire life. This is why I called this article ‘A Strange way is often the best way to change your day’ because the experiences you undergo during change is in fact unusually strange, so strange that you cannot believe it is happening to you. It is like a lottery win. People just cannot believe that it is happening to them. They cannot believe that they have entered an elegant world filled with poise and grace. You need to believe in yourself to know that you don’t have to win a lottery to make changes in your life. You just need to believe in yourself and discover what your needs really are.

A Second Chance

‘A second Chance’

Quote of the day

‘Getting a second chance is far better than having a first chance. At least you know that nothing will change until you changed it, nothing will be loved until you loved it and nothing will be satisfactory unless you followed a gentle pace with elegant grace.’

Every day is a new beginning. When the elegant Sun rises it actually opens a new opportunity for you. So, if those New Year’s Resolutions did not work out as planned don’t feel disheartened. Don’t feel that you have to wait until the 1st of January 2016 to start all over again. I say onto you and verily too that tomorrow can be a new beginning for you, or today for that matter. What has passed cannot be amended or altered to suit your ego. However what is about to pass you can be amended or altered to suit your ego? Your ego is your personality or your character that you have created over the years. A negative personality is something that you have created even though others have inhibited you. It is like your apparel. What you wear or want you to wear is your choice. Therefore how you look is based on what you choose to wear. Having a second chance is far better than having a first chance. At least you know that nothing will change until you changed it, nothing will be loved until you loved it and nothing will be satisfactory unless you followed a gentle pace with an elegant grace. You need to initiate change in order to see change. You need to move objects in order for change to occur. A dead plant will look barren and dead until you uproot it and discard it into the fiery furnace. This is the second chance I am referring to. This is the start of a new beginning for you. This is where you decide what you want to wear, how you groom your hair, what you eat, what you think, what you move and what you ultimately would like to change. We spoke about Newton’s Laws of Motion and we spoke about objects that are stationary. These objects will always remain stationary until you take the first step or action. What did you leave unresolved over the past 31 days? Did everything you write down remains the same? Do you feel that you will never achieve those long lost dreams? You need to recruit, you need to start, you need to introduce and you need to open. You need to recruit the services of someone to help you, a mentor like me perhaps. You need to start right away but tomorrow should be okay. You need to introduce new habits such as proper eating and regular exercise. Other habits could be politeness, reading, contemplation and a hobby such as gardening. You need to open new doors of opportunities and close failed doors of opportunities. It is all about change. It is all about regulating your personality to some degree of normality and rationality. It is never too late. It is never too late for anything. Start today, start tomorrow, start when you are ready but start and stop procrastinating.

The Wisdom to Change and The Wisdom to acknowledge Change

‘Wisdom to change and Wisdom to acknowledge change’

Quote of the day

‘Wisdom comes from experience yielding a better understanding of your existence and allowing you to live with prudence and better judgement.’

Wisdom is the greatest knowledge centre that you acquire over a period of time that matures like a coconut and resembles the succulence found inside this tropic drupe. (The use of the word drupe in this instance refers to an indehiscent fruit)  A matured person holds the centre of knowledge within him or her like the coco water of a coconut, so rich in sugar, dietary fibre, protein, antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. A matured individual takes years to reach the succulence of rich coco water. A matured person can be likened to the kernel of a coconut, so enriched with goodness and so white with brilliance. The shell of a coconut is tough like a rigid person who lives in anticipation of the unseen and the foreseen. The husk of the coconut resembles the tenacity of a person concealing their personal profile from hackers who infiltrate novices for their wealth and rob them of their health. Wisdom comes through the ages and clusters into distinct stages allowing the individual to walk, talk, unblock and block, to avoid the possible shock and to avoid small talk. Every process in life comes from learning. Learning is about understanding. Once taught we pocket this information as knowledge. A series of pockets containing relevant knowledge based on your needs creates the wisdom personified for you. We all are wise. We rise like the Sun, we revise like a student, and we surprise the tutor and we advise the learner. As we gain knowledge we need to share it liberally. Unblocking helps us to clears doubts that we have and fears that we accrue. Blocking obstructs any future interventions in our affairs. When we are young we always make mistakes, as we get older we lessen our mistakes, this is the advance stages of maturity. A matured individual will always watch out for his or her friends, ensuring that they do not make similar mistake like before.  Wisdom teaches you to be prudent as you past the stages of being a student. Prudence is about farsightedness, it is about the prescience of being patient. Meritocratic Goal Setters like yourself understand the value of time and therefore go about their chores with care and caution. I have always said live in anticipation in the past but to develop the art of being prudent comes from a good knowledge base or the faculty of Wisdom. Dear Friends, I wrote this article to ensure that you acquire pockets of information relevant to your needs on a daily basis so that you develop the ability to deal with all types of unforeseen and foreseen situations in your life as you grow older. The Art or Faculty of Wisdom is unlike a degree that lasts for perhaps 7 years, to be awarded with a degree in wisdom you need to pass the 100 year test and leave behind a legacy for others to follow.
