3 THINGS TO LEARN FROM MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. ON GOAL SETTING

Time management is about setting your sights on what you want, and following through until either you achieve what you set out to achieve or decide it’s no longer worthwhile.

Though his name rarely enters into discussions on the art of time management, Martin Luther King, Jr. was like Pablo Picasso to the craft.
We often forget that the ultimate aim of time management is to improve one’s capacity to accomplish what one aims to accomplish. It’s not about meticulously maintaining lists. It’s not about perfectly organizing documents. It’s not about efficiently plugging away at important tasks every second of the day.

Time management is about setting your sights on what you want, and following through until either you achieve what you set out to achieve or decide it’s no longer worthwhile. At this, Dr. King was unmatched.

Explore Your Options

This is one attitude that kills creativity in almost every field. For various reasons, people fail to check other options they’ve got in solving problems in a situation or achieving success in a task. Most, out of fear, anxiety, over- loyalty or share laziness do assignments ‘how they normally do it’ and this has ended up making them less creative and make their environment more boring.

I remember liking mathematics simply because almost all of its principles have various ways of solving and if one can think deep enough, one can come up with a unique way of going around mathematical problems.

Am not a great fan of Rhythm and Poetry (RAP) music but I have listened to them enough to know that at one point in the history of this great art, Jayz and Nas who are artist of RAP music were at par. They were at the same level in fame, wealth and talent but now the same cannot be said of these two personalities in the world of RAP music not because one was more talented than the other but because when Jayz was busy testing RAP with all kinds of genre of music (Rock, Afro, Jazz etc) and exploring several options of singing RAP music while NAS stuck with the normal form of ‘gangstarism’ that the art has always been known with.

Finding and exploring options has become imperative in the modern world because of the vast changes that naturally take place every now and then.

Importance of exploring options

1.       There is always an easier way to achieving a task and that way can only be reached through exploring every available options

2.       Coming up with a new approach will literary mean one is being creative and creativity can earn one a higher post or make one an inventor of a new idea or product.

3.        Exploring options automatically makes one a deep thinker which is all it takes to achieve  independence.

Ways to explore options

1.       Always remember to ask of other options you’ve got in a task from your boss, teacher or the person you’re reporting to in a given assignment.

2.        Create an ample time for thinking of other options you’ve got in a task or in a situation whenever a task is given or when situations arises.

3.       Discuss possible options with friends or colleagues in situations or in a task even if there are already a laid down ways to achieving such task.

ALL I ASK…

-was to have a breast feed from my mother at birth

-was to be loved by my father at 1

-was to have a birthday cake at 2

-was to have good food on the table at 3

-was to have a toy and a playground at 4

-was to see cartoons on TV at 5

It Is Just A Squeeze

I have heard people say, hard situations are reasons why people

 opt for bad acts and it is like saying, hard squeeze on an orange

 is what make it bring lemon juice; no matter how hard an

 orange get squeezed, it still brings out orange juice.

People bring forth from their source what they really are no matter what situation.

 

Lance Armstrong 'Admits' Doping

Lance Lance
Armstrong's reported admission to Oprah Winfrey that he used performance-enhancing drugs likely means he will go down in history as the most brazen drug cheat the sport has ever seen.

Former world champion cyclist Lance Armstrong is reported to have admitted using performance-enhancing drugs to help win the Tour de France.

Several sources tell U.S. media that Armstrong made the confession during an emotional interview Monday with talk show host Oprah Winfrey. Neither Armstrong nor Winfrey have disclosed further details of the conversation, to be broadcast Thursday.

The 41-year-old cancer survivor had long denied using performance-enhancing drugs, despite years of persistent rumors.

In August, Armstrong was stripped of his record seven Tour de France titles after the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency said it had proof he was centrally involved in a complex illegal doping program.

BREAKING THE WALLS OF IGNORANCE.

I was in a cab with a woman who has a little boy of about 4 sitting on her laps next to me when our cab was forced to halt in a traffic jam. While in the traffic jam, a mentally disordered man looking very dirty and rough from his very bushy dread locked hair to his extremely dirty cloth walked along the same road. 

This is a normal and popular sight around town so I didn’t pay much attention but a more unusual sight caught my attention. The boy sitting next to me seemed engrossed with the sight of the mad man and he attentively watched until the

Aaron Swartz, Tech Prodigy and Internet Activist, Is Dead at 26

Aaron Swartz, the brilliant young software programmer and Internet activist who inspired awe and reverence from leading figures in the technology world, died in his Brooklyn apartment on Friday, his family said in a statement. New York City’s chief medical examiner ruled the death a suicide by hanging. Swartz was 26 years old.

A passionate advocate for social justice, Swartz founded the group Demand Progress, which played a crucial role in convincing the U.S. Congress to back down from controversial anti-piracy legislation last year.

“Aaron’s insatiable curiosity, creativity, and brilliance; his reflexive empathy and capacity for selfless, boundless love; his refusal to accept injustice as inevitable—these gifts made the world, and our lives, far brighter,” his family said in a statement. “Aaron’s commitment to social justice was profound, and defined

omen unlike men are designed to be able to perfectly fake almost all of their acts. In fact, the only one am sure they don’t and can’t fake is the act of giving birth. Women have this ability and most times are not even conscious of it. Happiness, hatred, love, orgasm, tears, pregnancy, appearance and many more can be perfectly faked for anything at anytime.

ONE SIMPLE WAY TO STOP AN ADDICTION!

There is one very simple way a non-social addiction can be stopped and I will be going straight to the point to explain this so as to make it even simpler.

 What you’ve got to do as someone addicted to a habit is to imagine you are putting the bad habit somewhere away from yourself. Do not imagine you’re putting it in a locker; the urge for it will make you open it or even break it up. Throwing it outside? Nah, of course you will just have to go outside to find it when you need it. You shouldn’t imagine throwing it to the sea either; you wouldn’t believe how deep you can swim until you have your addiction sitting at the bottom of the sea.

Do you have a mirror? ------ Yes! What you’ll do is to simply imagine you are putting your addiction behind 

4 CHARACTERISTICS OF A PLAN YOU MUST KNOW

.

Over time I have developed great interest for the sports of soccer and boxing. I have watched them enough to understand one of their ‘golden rules’. How do one move from the state of depression to the state of motivation as fast as possible and how can one apply this rule to individual life situations?

I have seen football teams losing out in crucial games for underrating the importance of this rule. I have also seen boxers kiss their canvasses for disobeying this rule and more pitifully, I have seen several people miss-out in life for this same reason (ignoring the ‘golden rule’).

“You are not on the pitch/in the ring to CHANGE the plan, you are on the pitch/in the ring to FOLLOW it no matter what!”

6 GOLDEN RESOLUTIONS (FAT BONES).

 I know there’s no specific time for making New Year resolutions, so this definitely is the fat bones for the patient dogs… have fun!

1.  Link your purpose this year. This is the mother of all resolutions. If you’ve already linked your purpose, then, keeping on the line of purpose becomes your primary responsibility this year.

2.  Limits don’t exist, it is an illusion so do not subject self to any this year. This means there is no such words as “at least” and “at most” on how much you want to make or achieve. Just have your plan and shoot!

A LESSON FROM CONNECTICUT

Our minds become incredibly curious with attractive flashes of complicated information in a seemingly small environment. This is the selling strategy and what pushes creativity to its edge in modern technology. Exploration becomes the game and survival in the modern world is strictly measured by it. “Can you keep up with change?” becomes the most important question from an employer.

One should naturally think that with the advancement in modern technology which has increased the level of social life and bridged relationships among individuals and groups, self awareness and self esteem should follow the upward trend, but
