Responsibility

"I ain't scared of responsibility, my irresponsibility scares me"...Oladele Femi
Evaluating every second of my life brought me to this realization.
And now I figured it is best to consider your ability to respond to responsibility a goal rather than a gift. I mean you should aspire to fine tune your response to responsibilities.
At no point should you be scared to take on a challenge, but please reconsider when you realize that your ability to deliver is shaky. This ability however is not the outcome of a heavy head analysis, but an evaluation of your strength (intrinsic and extrinsic.)
Don't rush into the conclusion that you will be unable to function well, probably because success rate in that field is zero, take on the challenge.
This paradox is to spur your heart to realize that you should acknowledge every responsibility as an opportunity to bring out of you a part of you that you hither to didn't know or to harness other skills inherent in people close to you.
Responsibility knocks everyday.
Take it on...

TRUST

TRUST

In dealing with people I have come to realize that my definition of trust is inadequate.

So I have two sides to trust

1.      I have never seen him/her do this; or

2.      He/she will never do this?

In dealing with people, what’s your definition of trust? It is quite advisable to qualify your trust for people.

In your mind, you should know when you trust someone by saying “oh I have always/never seen him/her do it so I guess he/she won’t or will as the case may be. Or I am confident he/she will/won’t do it.

I know you might say the second scenario best describes “trust” but if you are a frequent reader here you will recall the post titled “who is really a thief?” and be further enthralled.

Don’t get caught in the web of “trust”

Be safe…Best wishes…DESIRE

MOVING HIGHER

An interplay between acceptance and workability is vaguely unrealistic...Oladele Femi
Getting into an Information Technology (IT) debate with a friend about its workability in some organizational units created a bit of a heat when he chose to settle for the fold-my-hand-and-look (FMHAL) syndrome.
Thinking about this afterwards made to look to issues that we now accept with retrospect. I discovered that most things that we now accept are things that people stood for when others felt it will not work.
If we continue to insist on FMHAL, then we rob ourselves of development in its essence.
Even the manual systems widely accepted today were developed by people of strong will who felt things could be better and that's the spirit that prevails.
Resilience and insistence of the workability of your ideas does not amount to coercion; it is entirely different from trying to force your opinion on others.
Please strive to drop the FMHAL syndrome wherever it applies in your life and you will enjoy an enriched life. 

EXCHANGE RATIO

EXCHANGE RATIO ANALYSIS "Examination of the superlative languor formed as a result of the disparate interplay between our outward experiences and our inner desires"...Oladele Femi Though this sounds more like economics or financial management terminology, I have coined it to context to explain the interplay between our external experiences and our internal desires. My placement or arrangement (placing external before internal) is deliberate though some may argue that it is from "within" that we have our "without". There could be (and most times is) a disparate interplay not suggested only by prevailing circumstances but by other factors best known to us. How do we handle it? The exchange ratio comes to explain that if we allow ourselves to languish in a state of ennui, then we deprive ourselves of the most valuable success we could explore if we introspectively reevaluate our desires in tandem with our experiences. There should not be any time for steady regret my friend...DESIRE loves to see you excel

UNFLINCHING LOVE OF THE DONKEY

UNFLINCHING LOVE OF THE DONKEY This morning I was confronted with the title of love as a maverick; led to study the love story from a different point of view. I’d like to tell and/or remind you of a story between a man and his donkey. A master was angry with his servant for going against his direct orders and sent an assassin to kill him. However, the Donkey loved her rider (who is the servant referred to above) so much that she vied off the road to preserve his life twice and saved him from destruction the third time by laying down her life. The original story reads “…and she lay down…” giving her own life instead of her rider’s. After the mission to preserve her rider the following conversation ensued: DONKEY: “What have I done to you, that you have struck me these three times?” RIDER: “because you have mocked me, I would there were a sword in my hand, for now I had killed you” Referring to the escape the donkey undertook to keep his life by bruising his feet against a wall. DONKEY: “am I not your Donkey, on which you have ridden all your life long to this day? Was I ever wont to do so to you? RIDER: “No” Hmmm!!! I am more than dumbfounded. What would I have done as the Donkey with my ability to speak? I would probably have spoken out to him in devastation. However, the Donkey still loved her rider when she wasn’t appreciated. What manner of love is this! I charge us today as we prepare for another week ahead to demonstrate this “kind” of love to others…DESIRE If you want to read the full story; find a Bible and open to the Book of Numbers, chapter 22.

KNOWLEDGE ACQUISITION

"It is good to know, better to be taught, and best to be inspired"...Oladele Femi Walking down to the office today was somewhat different from other days after highlighting from the bike that got me to the gate. As I trekked, I just realize that I was subconsciously evaluating times when I knew things on my own (so to speak); times when I was taught; and times when I was inspired and the feelings I got during those times: real fulfillment comes when you are inspired. Be inspired today; it will save you some cost...#winks DESIRE loves to see you excel Demonstrating Excellence through Supple, Ideal and Refined Enthusiasm (DESIRE)

MAKE PEOPLE HAPPY

"People will be more genuinely happy when they hear about your success than when you present your success to them"...Oladele Femi I have come to realize that it is easier for people to be excited and elated with good news of your progress than when you show yourself. Think wisely; act wisely!!! Work on developing yourself to be who you want to be than trying to make people believe you are what you want them to believe. Have a wonderful week ahead...
