Time Will Come !

Time Will Come !

Kenya is 2 hrs ahead of Nigeria, but it does not mean that Nigeria is slow, or that Kenya is fast. Both countries are working based on their own "Time Zone."

Some one is still single. Someone got married and 'waited' 10 yrs before having a child, there is another who had a baby within a year of marriage.

Someone graduated at the age of 22, yet waited 5 years before securing a good job; and there is another who graduated at 27 and secured employment immediately !

Someone became CEO at 25 and died at 50 while another became a CEO at 50 and lived to 90 years.

Everyone works based on their 'Time Zone',

People can have things worked out only according to their pace.

Work in your “time zone”.

Your Colleagues, friends, younger ones might "seem" to go ahead of you.

May be some might "seem" behind you.

Don't envy them or mock them, it's their 'Time Zone.'

You are in yours!

Hold on, be strong, and stay true to yourself. All things shall work together for your good. You’re not late … You are not early ... you’re very much On time!

RESPECT Time Will Come !

Why do so many people hate their jobs?

Why do so many people hate their jobs?

Most jobs are devoid of meaning. People are simply doing those jobs to get money and survive.

Back in the days we were all factory workers. There was no TV. No radio. No Internet.

We were only surrounded by people that were factory workers. Our parents were factory workers. Our siblings were factory workers. Our friends were factory workers. You. Me. Everyone was a factory worker.

And only a small fraction of people (maybe 0.1%) were factory owners.

Back in the days you could only own a factory if your family already owned one or you were rich and so on. That was at least the general understanding back then. You couldn't own a factory unless you were rich. Period.

And then the factory was replaced by offices. All of a sudden the factory worker disappeared. More and more opportunities opened up. You could be everything you ever imagined. Everybody could become a CEO. A lawyer. A scientist. A factory owner. Whatever. You name it. Wonderful world!

And then came the radio. Then the TV. Then the PC. And then the Internet.
All of a sudden we were surrounded by people that seemed to be happy. Living the life.

We see them on TV every day. We read about them in the newspapers every day. They constantly fill our Facebook feeds. They seem a lot smarter than us. More intelligent. And most importantly, they are mostly very good looking.

All of a sudden everybody seemed brilliant and beautiful. And successful. With lots of money. Gone were the days of the factory workers. Hellas!
Internet superstars appeared. The glorified super entrepreneur was born.

Ultra rich CEOs saving the world. People making billions and billions, while we're still stuck earning a shitty salary, barely enough to keep body and soul together.

And then, being constantly bombarded with all of these self made people something really strange happened. We started to hate ourselves. What started to eat us alive wasn't jealousy. No. Absolutely not. It was us hating ourselves.

We started to hate our lazy asses. We started to hate ourselves for not getting our asses up from that damn couch. For not taking action.

We started to hate ourselves for being a lazy wimp that doesn't take any risk. For staying at that job that allows us to only make enough money to get by.

And then at some point we start to hate our jobs, whereas in reality we hate ourselves. We hold our jobs responsible for our own little failure. Our failure of taking a risk. Of breaking out. Of taking action.

And that's why so many people hate their jobs. You prefer to take the easy route. You. Me. We all prefer to blame someone else (or our jobs) for our own misery...

Shields up

Shields up!!

Do not tell your friends about your nascent idea, your notion, the area you hope to explore next.

Do not seek reassurance from them.

Do not become vulnerable about your tiny new sprout of an inkling.

It will be extinguished by people who mean well. They are trying to protect you from heartache.

There is a very, very tiny group of fellow travelers who can amplify your inkling. For the rest, keep it quiet. Trot out a make-believe idea instead, a pretend Potemkin Village of a project, let them dump all over that one instead.

Keep the other one in the incubator for now. There will be plenty of time for sharing later.
