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 Derelict Coin

Quote of the day

‘Life is a precious gift made of 86,400 seconds a day. Likened to a derelict coin life can also be wasted, discarded into nothingness and trampled by abuse, neglect and suffering. Wake up to the sound of a derelict coin that brings inspiration to those that need it most.’

I would like to introduce you to 'The Derelict Coin'. There was once a derelict Coin that laid still on side of the pavement. It stared motionless at passers-by hoping that someone would pick it up. No one did, and soon the derelict coin withered into a tarnished piece of metal. The rains came, the snow fell, the sun shone and the wind blew.

The derelict coin moved by a few centimetres once as it was kicked by someone. It also endured the excrement of animals, the gnawing by a tyre and the brazing of an uncontrollable firework. This is the story of the derelict coin, standing alongside the road watching from below for almost years trying to make sense of the world from down under. It soon knew the habits of all that passed it, and it listened to gossip too while trying to avoid being sucked into the vacuum of the Council Truck. Who is this derelict coin that you have suddenly taken the interest to read about it? Where did it come from and where will it possibly go to?

I would like to introduce you to Anthony, for he and I have become good friends. Anthony was walking by one day when he noticed me along the side of the road. I moved over the years because my owner threw me away. He did not have any use for me and just threw me away. I felt hurt, unwanted and lonely. Those years gripped me as I watched others that ignored me too passed hurriedly by. My life has changed dramatically since Anthony picked me up and carried me into the warmth of his heart.

Today, I sit in a bottle amongst other coins that Anthony has collected over the years. There are quite a few maybe a thousand or more. It is nice to be amongst friends, at least I am not lonely like before. Sometimes Anthony shakes us about, it is kind of his way of communicating with us or giving us a bit of exercise. I think Anthony has given me a name, he seems to call me Lucky. I don't know why but somehow I do feel very lucky to be with other coins in a bottle that stands near a warm fireplace.

I watched as Anthony wrote something on his computer one day that would change my life. He had this large screen monitor and you could see the words so clearly. This is what Anthony said, I hope that it will change your life as well. It really changed my life and made me feel so important. It made me realise how important I am because I am like any object in the vastness of the Universe made of up the fundamental unit of matter and that is atoms. Like all atoms in the Universe I am accountable. I cannot be destroyed nor created. This is what Anthony wrote on his computer, have a read and see whether it will change your thought process too.

'Why do people disregard the derelict coins that they see thrown away? Every coin is like a second in our life. It makes up a minute, an hour, a day or our life. I think people throw it away because they have many more coins leftover. So, when one falls down they simply don't care. Each day in our life is made up of 86,400 seconds. So when we waste say 400 seconds, we simply do not care. Today I have a collection of 1600 coins or £16. There is so much I could do with £16 but yet this is only made up of single pennies. Therefore when you see a derelict coin thrown on the side-walk, pick it up and realise how precious each second of your life really is.'

Thank you Anthony for making me realise my value and to realise that I am part of the Universe which is made up of countless atoms existing on their own or combined with others to create the vastness of the Universe that we so clearly see.
