When we all grow up we have things that we desire to have, well mine has been the Porsche cayenne since I have laid my eyes on that beautiful machine.  I have gone to an extent that I asked my sister that we go test drive it and she agreed to my plea. 

Now I have to work smart to make sure I make my dream come true.........

If not now, when?

Let’s be honest, doing anything meaningful is difficult, because if it was easy everyone would do it. I have been postponing to blog yet I know how important it is to me and my career. Today I have taken a stand, and say no to lazy blogger Nontando. 

I saw the need of speeding up the process, find meaningful things to blog about and do an in-depth research for any chosen topic. In few years from now I don’t want to sit and think that if I had given my writing a chance I would have been far by now. The blogging process it’s a goal that I must achieve, and failing to do so, I will be failing myself for not trying. 

One has to take responsibility of their life, stop making excuses on working on that meaningful thing that you have always been postponing and wanted to do. Get whatever you need to meet the challenge, and your plan must work for you.

Time or Money?

People are still stuck up with the old saying “Time is money”. Well I would like to differ with that. In my personal outlook, we will forever exchange our precious time for money that does not determine the sentimental value time has; it still remain our most humble asset than money. 

We can spend money to improve our health and hence extend our lives, but money cannot reclaim lost time. On the other hand, time can be used to regain lost money. And so, time and money are not compatible. Therefore, time is not money and money is not time.

We are alive for a very short period of time. Some of us have less time than others, and most of us do not know how much time we have left. Our time cannot be replaced; as a result our time is our most limited resource. For that reason, time is our most valuable asset, so use your time wisely.

Why I have conversations?

Growing up with four siblings in the house has always been the best part of my life. Most of us in the family are out spoken, and my mother always encouraged us to share information. 

I engage myself in two different kinds of conversations, passive (Thinking & Meditation) and outspoken that is when I get to share information with whoever is available and willing to listen. I  have always valued someone else’ opinion, therefore I am frequently hosting friends because I believe in having people around as it helps me to off load the burden in my shoulders. 

Being around confident people makes me feel good. Conversations keep me stable especially when I want to get things off my chest as I am likely to over-think things and get other people views. Conversations are vital when support is needed as an external opinion always helps to clear the air.

The other person's energy and passion is contagious, and makes all the conversation participants feel confident and comfortable. Projecting self-belief is the key to a good conversation.

There are quite a lot of things you can learn from a short and informal conversation, I regard that as the best platform to learn and get honest opinions. 

My favourite Cat in the Hat book is [fill in the title]; because...

It is so unfortunate that I was not exposed to such stories or readings while I was growing up. I doubt it would have make sense to me because I am allergic to cats and I can’t stand anything said about them.

I have never been a naughty child, and I reckon I wouldn’t have enjoyed the stories because of the tricks involved in the book. 

Fiction readings, fairy tale and true stories have always and still my appealing readings. I will consider the books for my next generation (My children, nephews and nieces).

 

 

When was the last time you tried something new?

Life is too short and some take it for granted. It throws us with many challenges that we had to experience. Nonetheless, we fall into a pothole and experience far less than we could. I wish there was more I can get up to, that is so unfortunate.

I’m a very curious individual, I then saw myself visiting an Islamic butchery to buy their halaal meat. In fact, I wondered what was so special about halaal meat (No offence, its curiosity) and wanted to taste the difference comparing to a non-halaal. I’m glad I did that, pity the taste wasn’t different. Now I need someone to come and make sense of it.

Trying something new can possibly work to your advantage, how do expect to know if you never attempt. Bungee jumping is on my list.  

“We like making excuses, don’t we?  We’ll rationalize every possible reason why we can’t do something, instead of focusing that energy on something that we want to accomplish.  Stop making excuses, and start making changes.  Try something new” Philosopher Laozi
