IF AND WHEN YOU MEET FAILURE, ACCEPT IT, BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT LYING DOWN!


IF AND WHEN YOU MEET FAILURE ACCEPT IT, BUT PLEASE DON'T TAKE IT LYING DOWN!

At some point or another as we go through life we will surely meet up with failure of varying degrees. Sometimes it will be minor things which we can easily get over and move on whilst at other times it will
be major spectacular failure which would leave one devastated and not knowing where to start and even wondering if at all it is possible and worthwhile to start all over.
The answer is YES! It is possible and definitely worthwhile as long as there is breath in the person and the heart is beating more-so if one is actually asking these questions it means there is will to reason and that is a good thing.

So accepting failure is a step in the right direction, if the milk has already been spilt it's no use crying over it. However there is every reason to seek to understand how and why the milk got spilt in the first place. In order to understand ourselves and emerge better people from failure we need to analyse it, retrace our steps backwards and understand why we made the choices we made given all the other possibilities and options we could have taken even though they wouldn't have been that obvious at the time. That way we learn that we are not defined by our failures but we are taught by them every time we meet them no exceptions.

 This can only happen if we don't take failure lying down and beat ourselves about it without figuring out the causes and preparing to avoid recurrence. Once we understand how we arrived at that particular failure and having zoomed in on it we are then able to see a clearer way forward making better informed decisions with greater chances of success than our previous attempts.

As growing and developing people and society we will most definitely encounter failure whilst innovating and venturing into unchartered territories. We must therefore never miss the lessons each failure gives us to prepare us for the future wherein success becomes inevitable as we keep trying just as we keep learning from our failures.

The Wake and the Future of Africa

The Wake and the Future of Africa No matter how turbulent the wake from the ship, it can never determine the direction of the ship.... Dear young african the wake of our lifetime is the so well articulated history of the past struggles and the brutality of the erstwhile master, it has been revealed to us and it continues to be revealed from generation to generation..... We can learn all the versions of past happenings yet the fact remains - it is the wake! Another fact is that the wake cannot be undone no matter how painful the past injustices may feel to us and our forbearers who actually experienced them, yet we can fully and consciously determine the direction of ship Africa going forward! The natural endowment of mother Africa with treasures deep in her core and breathtaking sights is a gift to us which is in our hands to embrace and tap life as well as abundant  livelihood from if we will conjure enough strength to stop starring at the wake and allow zeal in us to burn and

ARE YOU A PROFESSIONAL? WHAT IS YOUR PERCENTAGE AVAILABILITY RATING? - IT REALLY DOES MATTER

ARE YOU A PROFESSIONAL? WHAT IS YOUR PERCENTAGE AVAILABILITY RATING? - IT DOES REALLY MATTER As professionals we pride ourselves in our credentials and the authoritative power that come with them, our voice and opinion matters to those with whom and for whom we work. We execute our mandate with verve and pride. However one realises that the average well trained professional would do the same and it is almost totally expected of them, so there must be something to set apart the professional who will stand shoulders above the rest. In this instance the author has coined a term "PROFESSIONAL AVAILABILITY PERCENTAGE RATING" No we unpack the PAPR concept. Being professionals we work with other professionals from other disciplines who subscribe to their own codes. These codes dictate that they operate in certain ways and stand guided by certain standard practices. P.A.P.R however is independent of professional codes, it is a personally determined factor which every profess
