Race of Life

I was about crossing the express but the cars refused to stop but I could also rushed in between them and make a pass, but I noticed about 100meters behind there was no vehicle and I could just take my time to cross the road instead of turning to Usain Bolt which I gladly crossed catwalking.

Many at times we just keep running, we want to keep moving to the point of losing focus. Its not a bad idea to move but the pace at which we move matters. Don’t run when you are still learning to walk because you will fall and you are likely to get hurt.

A lot of businesses, Marriage, Education, Lives are spoilt because we keep running. Some people start business because they have an idea of what their boss does but many at times doesn’t even know half then the challenge will come without knowing how to solve it. Is it even your passion?  Well its bringing in money so I can do it is what many will say.

Many get married because they are the only spinster/bachelor left in the committee of friend, without carefully and prayerfully study the spouse. Many wants the big wedding on Bellanaija and they want to get featured too. Is this guy/lady good for me should be the question, can I actually cope with him? But many at times we believe we can cope which may not even be possible. Because you are the last doesn’t mean you won’t get there.

Education: I’ve seen parents that wants double promotion for their kids because their friend’s children are in upper class, please calm down. Can your child perform better, how is he coping in that present class he is, how can you make him do better should be your interest and not competing with other children. Some pick a course because others/ friends does and many parents also command the future of the children, you must go Law, Medicine, Accountancy etc please let this children decide for themselves.

Self study, self evaluation should be done in running the race of life. Carefully study yourself, discover who you are, your passions and interest and I believe this can help you keep focus. You don’t need to pull people down on your way to the top as the sky is big enough for all to fly.

Many run the race with no idea of the destination, always remember everything has been predestined. Don’t move faster than your destiny hence you will have to wait in future. There’s no competition in the race of live, we all have different destination and different exams. Do yours and let others do theirs.

Remember life is not a race but a journey, ride smoothly and enjoy the ride.

Must do during Leave

I just resumed back from my annual leave and i can tell its sure a wonderful and a restful experience. so i thought of making a post about my leave experience and below are the must do things while on leave.

1. Rest well: What better time do you have to rest than your leave, please do have a pleasant rest during this period. Relax your body, soul and mind. Think less about work and reduce your worry, get the tension out of you.
2. Eat healthy: You have all the time to cook, visit and shop, and so you are prone to eat more, its of benefit you eat healthy at this time, watch all that goes into your mouth. I'm sure you wont want your employer to enlarge the frame of your office door when you returned.
3. Sleep healthy: This period gives you opportunity to sleep all day long but it has to be healthy. Good sleep sharpens your attention and make you energetic but too much of sleep can also cause depression, obesity, back pain and Headache. Sleep right during your leave. 
4. Exercise your body: Its a great time to exercise your body, do work outs, anaerobic training and visit gym and get your body back in shape( too bad i didn't except walking) exercise improve your body and the brain. 
5. Reflecting about the past year and the coming year: Do a throw back of what you've done within the past one year, your weakness and your strength, your awards and queries and plan on how to make things better in the coming year
6. Think right:  You need to take charge of your thought and feel calm and also be optimistic in your thoughts towards the coming year. Strategically plan ahead
7. Work on your self: Read during your leaf, develop yourself at this time, submit your CV for a more challenging task and learn something different.
8. Go on Outings: Visit places such as shopping malls, recreation center, cinema, parks and resort centers. Go to places you won't go during work hour and feel the groove.
9. Visit friends and families: Don't leave your friends and family out, visit them and explore your leave together. I visited and had family member at my place.
10. Serve God: There's no better time to observe your personal time, go to worship centers i.e church and mosque, be punctual and serve whole heartedly.
