‘It is time to pull up your socks and start filling up your stockings.’

Quote of the day

‘Before you start filling up your stockings you need to start pulling up your socks. You need to embrace responsibilities without hostilities.’

Dear Friends why is that we never seem to be satisfied with the outcome. Is it because we do not do enough at the other of the scale called the input? You need to establish the above question on your own, independently, rationally and honestly. Can you say for certain that your performance yesterday was 100% filled with the passion and desire that came with the task. Did you perhaps give just 99% of your abilities or rather just 1%? What becomes of tomorrow is what we make of today. What becomes of the end of your working week is what we plan in advance by creating the blueprint of our agenda in black and white, chronologically and logically. No one enters into their diary or memo a workload that is not bespoke to their needs and abilities. Now that you wrote it is time for you to float it. What made yesterday, the start of your working week sad and unproductive? What made yesterday a very happy and productive week? The answer lies in your input. This is why I said at the onset please pull up your socks. Undertake a task that you know only you can accomplish. Don’t make Monday tedious. Make Monday studious instead. Pull up your socks before the start of a working week and see how you shall prosper. Do the same for New Year’s Resolutions. Consider Resolutions that only you can accomplish. Don’t fill the platter of hope with unrealistic Resolutions. Take on something only you know that you can realistically accomplish. Pull up those socks right away and fill those Christmas stockings with realistic resolutions. 

‘Show by example, lead by example and be an example.

Quote of the day

 ‘Reverence is the admiration for one’s existence, it is the consistence of one’s efforts, it is the insistence to get the job done, it is the persistence to make dreams come true, it is admiration of an individual to ask for assistance and it is an acknowledgement of one to go the distance.’

What makes a weekend special is when we established reverence in all that we do from the 1^st working day of the week to the final working day when we hang up our boots. For the faculty to exercise work we shall always be rewarded with a weekend of our own. In a year there are 52 weekends and in a lifetime there are 520 weekends. The making of our annual calendar certainly was planned well in advance. We have a birthday in our annual calendar and a list of public holidays with slight variations depending on which country we live in. We also have our holidays tallied in our year planner bespoke to our needs and budget. What more can we ask for? This is reverence for our life and for the lives of so many other people that live in a bustling planet. For this I am eternally grateful and my veneration goes to Almighty GOD who has been the key planner setting out standards for us to follow and abide by. I feel proud to be a devoted servant of our Heavenly Father employed in a Faculty of my choice and to work steadily each year with respect and awe for my life as a human being and for an eternal life based on my intent. In return I must make it my duty to remind others to follow suit. I need to show by example, lead by example and to be an example. To do this I need to apply reverence in all that I do. My efforts must be consistent with altruistic values from dawn to dusk and from decade to decade. I need to be insistent in order to get the job done and to ensure that I am able to do this I need to be assertive. I am indeed the maker of my destiny and therefore capable of making dreams come true. If my dreams are unselfish I will always be guaranteed that they will materialise. This is the tenacity of my mind power in motion and the importunity of my physical power in action. I should not be afraid to be mentally and physically active for in a given year I shall always be rewarded with 52 weekends, at least 10 public holidays and my annual leave. What more can I ask for my unselfish efforts. If I am stuck I must seek assistance. For many an individual that treaded the earth before have found easy passages to follow rather than create a meandering road of uncertainty and ambiguity. I must strive to go the full distance because I set out in my agenda a workload based on my intent. I cannot at the end of my working week procrastinate, miscalculate or detonate my schedule. I wrote it with pen to paper now I must execute it with mind and body. This shall always be my attitude from the 1st day of a new week to the last day of my working week. For these qualities I shall draw attention to others that walk past me that look at me or think about me. They will see that I am trying and therefore shall try to make good themselves. For this I shall be remembered as the Good Samaritan that lived for 100 years and showed by example, led by example and became an example.

Our Daily Obligations

Our Daily Obligations

Quote of the day: ‘Obligations are really our humane responsibilities for the day. It is not optional but rather a promise made between you and the rest of the world.’

We often taken things for granted assuming that nothing bad can come from it but yet bad things do come in front us all the time. The world is facing an epidemic of bad consequences at this precise moment. The Ebola virus disease is ongoing in West Africa. Infectious diseases decimated entire populations, ending blood lines and claiming more casualties than World Wars. War amongst men is still raging. The War in Donbass is ongoing. The Syrian Civil War has claimed huge fatalities. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls we cannot take things for granted. We need to become informed and to learn to live in anticipation.  Becoming informed makes us realise what is happening in the world. The tension in Gaza is escalating and without been kept informed we could toddle along without understanding the meaning of life and the consequences of abusing it.

No human being is born to suffer. Suffering is a really a drapery of miseries, sorrows and anguish brought upon ourselves. Yes, we are the Creators of all human sufferings. Let us assume that we went to the Moon just for the day on our own or perhaps with just another friend. Now there is not a lot to do on the moon but nevertheless you went along for the purposes of this article to prove a point. Let us assume you have the ability to exercise terraforming and consequently you created a little paradise for yourself and your sincere friend. Can you imagine how beautiful your domain will look enriched with serenity and draped with colour for eternity? Suddenly in the remote setting of a Sci-Fi settings you could see at a distance a craft arriving in the vicinity of your domain. You start to worry, you become agitated and feel a little insecure. You were fine a few minutes ago, alone in a bespoke paradise but then the curtains came tumbling down and all those promising dreams were shattered. You now have an adversary. The Earth holds the same props but staged for a more earthly life. Here we share these props with over 7 billion others. Somehow we seem to be unable to get along. Adhering to obligations helps. What is your obligations for today or tomorrow or even the next day? Well you need to create your responsibilities according to your ability in order to perform them. You cannot create an agenda of a 1000 duties only to complete 7 by the end of the day. You need to create a workload according to your ability. Once done you need to perform them daily in the most altruistic fashion. This makes you realise that you are not alone in a world of your own but rather in a world with 7 billion friends. Adhering to your obligations helps to harmonise relationships and reduce the possibilities of conflicts and disagreements. You must be kept informed by reading, listening and watching. Information is your core to understanding and learning. Learning makes you become knowledgeable and wise. A Wiseman will always walk away from a conflict rather than engage in one. A Wiseman will walk the Earth knowing that he or she has a job to be done and will engage with this obligation until the job is done.
