In = Out

“Don’t lower your expectations to meet your performance. Raise your performance to meet your expectations. Expect the best of yourself and then do what is necessary to make it a reality.”~
 Ralph Marston

Just a quick and simple thought, if you want/expect the best in life, you have to do your best in life. You have to get good at life. It becomes a matter of reaping what you have sowed. You have to give your all if you want to get to a fulfilling life. That is why the road to extraordinary is never easy to travel, for you need to put out something extra than the ordinary to get back the extraordinary. The Law of Cause and Effect. You have to give most if not all of yourself to that which you want to accomplish and hope will be waiting for you down the line.

As Seneca pointed out, “It is the rough roads that lead to the heights of greatness.” Ultimately the power to change and shape your experiences in life is governed by the choices you make. Having clarity of what you want or consider as “success” will equip you with the knowledge of making better and wiser choices which are in lined with your mission, which will yield better results.

The road of success is best travelled with faith. Faith, however, is not believing in an unreality, it is believing in realities that you cannot, at this point, physically perceive. But does exist, and will show itself to you of its existence. Seeing is not believing, believing is seeing.

Remember therefore that:
“Most powerful is he who has himself in is own power.” ~ Seneca

FAITH

Is there ever a time where its reasonable to have faith? Like really. When is it reasonable to have faith? Because if you think about it, whenever its reasonable to have faith it is no longer faith but just rationalisation.. When you have reasons to have faith its just that, reasons. Faith has no reason either than you really wanting something. Faith is not based on any concrete evidence, ever. Faith is the decision of a mind to maintain a disciplined positive expectation of a desired outcome.. And most of us fail in this because our faith fluctuates.. Usually we want reasons to have faith.. The most interesting part in life is that most of who we desire to be is dependant on faith. Just choosing to expect the best and that is independent of any religious beliefs or philosophy. Its a consistent act of a person to choose faith over fear, fear over not having concrete evidence to back it up. Faith is the complete surrender of the need to control things and to have it all f...

A MAN CAN CHOOSE TO BE ANYTHING

"A man can choose to be anything. He can partake in, be a part of anything that he wants to. He can become a beast, he can become a god. He can do anything." This thought keeps reappearing in all the writings of man. It states that we become what we choose to become whether we realise it or not. This is so true because as I grow older, I notice just how broad my being is. BEING : the continuous movement of becoming!! As a high school pupil I only saw myself as a math and science student whose aim was to be a master of science and nothing more. And then in  first year varsity I noticed my perception   grew   from a science student to one whose aim was to be a respectable chemical engineering professional, then suddenly I noticed that not only do I love science, but I have a proclivity for some business,  philosophy and even writing who knew!! And then that grew to psychology, which grew to  philosophy and spirituality and all of this my high-school-year old...

SIGNIFICANT FIGURES

On the bus to work I was busy go through my budget this month in my head. And as I was doing that, I was thinking of how we always have to make arrangements for unforeseen expenses, so I was thinking along the line of "roughly it will cost me this much." However as I had that thought another then just came up, and that was there are no insignificant numbers. Numbers that have no bearing to the total sum whatsoever. As an engineering student in my first year I got introduced to an unfamiliar term, "significant figures", quite frankly I am surprised I still remember this.In engineering and science we have to account for the significant decimals places that are there in a number. (Google this). For example if a number has the highest numbers of significant figures meaning more numbers after the decimal we take that as the numbers of significant figures we must round of to. So if you have a number that is 2.0003, those zeroes are significant because they can/will...
