IN THE PROCESS OF TIME

Image
It’s ironic how this simple four letter words (t-i-m-e) makes or mars our precious life. TIME is one of the few words that have the longest and broadest meaning in the dictionary. Our life seems to pass on with the passage of time. There is this trickish and beautiful saying which goes thus “the end justifies the means”, that shows that this life we are living is a means to an end and what beautifully sums up this means is the “process of time”. Funny how what we give ourselves to ultimately ends up in what becomes of us. As time can’t be reversed, it carries also vital aspect of our lives which can’t be reversed, funny how our so called life can be robotically influenced by this mystery word (t-i-m-e). What are we making of time OR what is time making of us……….. Funny how it is the same process of time that produced cult members (who later become a menace to the society) in our university undergraduates that also produced professionals in different course of study. The proc

Growing up OR Growing old

Came across this lovely piece by an anonymous writer You’ve got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die. We have so many people walking around who are dead and don’t even know it! There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don’t do one productive thing, you will turn twenty years old. If I am eighty-seven years old and stay in bed for a year and never do anything I will turn eighty-eight. Anybody can grow older. That doesn’t take any talent or ability. The idea is to grow up by always finding opportunity in change. Have no regrets. The elderly usually don’t have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do. The only people who fear death are those with regrets.” REMEMBER, GROWING OLDER IS MANDATORY. GROWING UP IS OPTIONAL. We make a Living by what we get, We make a Life by what we give.

ADOLF HITLER : A German dictator who killed about 18 million jews.He was also a talented public speaker. He joined the army @ AGE 25.This was said of him “Hitler combined manipulative talent with great cunning; he was simultaneously obsessed with fantastic visions and blinded to reality by them. The result was an outburst of destruction that consumed millions and transformed the world…WHAT A MAN…..WHAT A TOOL… JOSEF STALIN : Started his journey from d seminary before joining the “bolshevicks”(a revolutionary group) @ AGE 25..These was said of him”he found russia working with wooden plows and left it equipped with atomic piles”….

THE POWER OF ENCOURAGEMENT

                                                      Two men, both seriously ill, occupied the same hospital room. One man was allowed to sit up in his bed for an hour each afternoon to help drain the fluid from his lungs. His bed was next to the room's only window. The other man had to spend all his time flat on his back. The men talked for hours on end. They spoke of their wives and families, their homes, their jobs, their involvement in the military service, where they had been on vacation. Every afternoon, when the man in the bed by the window could sit up, he would pass the time by describing to his roommate all the things he could see outside the window. The man in the other bed began to live for those one hour periods where his world would be broadened and enlivened by all the activity and color of the world outside. The window overlooked a park with a lovely lake. Ducks and swans played on the water while children sailed their model boats. Young lovers walked arm

Your Future

                YOUR FUTURE IS IN YOUR HANDS        A brilliant and godly young man I know was asked a question during his sending off ceremony in an organization, the question was that “what would he have corrected if he is able to roll back the hands of time” and the answer he gave was that he would have chosen to have another father…wow…so shocking and thought provoking. So you mean of all the mistakes, erroneous guesses, choices and the “what if’s” he had committed in his two dozen plus years he has lived. T’was the “error” of having a “bad” father he would have loved to correct. But come to think of it, was it his undoing that made him had a bad father? Whose fault? That is one of the most bitter pill or better still bitter-sweet pill to swallow in our world. Some things are just of our control.      Okay now, let’s take for example, if the almighty gave me a choice prior to my birth, I would have chosen to be born probably in the united states or one of the developed count
