 “Only a little of the challenges of life are as a result of ignorance. Many know what to do yet lack the basic discipline and will to do it. We are potentially our own best friend or our greatest enemy.”

There are more than 13 million books and articles  on success and personal development (source: brandongaille.com) that tell us just how to go about becoming successful in various areas of life.

Some even go as far as interviewing or researching those who have been there or are currently there on the success lane, telling us their mistakes and success stories, giving us the necessary lessons to be learnt from them, and basically spoon-feeding us with the ingredients for success yet only a few have been able to climb the ladder of success and all round excellence.

LET’S ALL STAY SILENT… AND “RUIN THE WORLD”

LETS-ALL-STAY-SILENT-AND-RUIN-THE-WORLD--MC

Have you ever been in a meeting where everyone except one is silent and no one seems to be in agreement or disagreement with what is being said, no one seems to have an opinion except the speaker and when decisions are being taken, everyone consents to the “popular idea” with no one saying otherwise?

Have you ever been in a community where nothing is working yet everyone goes about their business like “it doesn’t matter, we’ll survive anyway. When the government wakes up we can have a great life then”?

“Show me a prosperous land and I’ll show you the great men and women in the land who rose up one day and said NO! Who resisted the urge to stay silent and unresponsive to the battles that had to be fought.”

– Mind Convos

The so called “TOMORROW” never really comes.

We do not wake into TOMORROW, we wake into another day… TODAY.

But NO, the FUTURE is just another day… TODAY. Continue reading “THE FUTURE DOES NOT EXIST!”

THE WEAKNESS(ES) OF MANKIND: A Blessing or a Curse?

THE-WEAKNESSES-OF-MAN--(MC)

“The weaknesses of today lay the foundation for the strengths of tomorrow.”

–  Mind Convos

Sitting here this Friday night with my moments of core weakness being played back in my mind like a movie… a solemn, thought-provoking movie. I had spent the day highly optimistic, unusually aware and overwhelmed by my own “awesomeness” and now as the day is just about retiring to an end… the solemn thoughts arise:

Can humans ever be completely free of weaknesses and character flaws? Continue reading “THE WEAKNESS(ES) OF MANKIND: A Blessing or a Curse?”
