Begin

Nothing begins until you begin. You get to start. Then everything and everybody else follows.  What is possible really will redefine and reinvent you. You will become a new man.  You must start to know what you are made of. Whether you have all it takes.  This the forming part of Responsibility.  It shapes you from the beginning. Any responsibility has the ability of drowning you in new waters, so that you can emerge with difference. Start something New and emerge. 

IGNORANCE

This is no defense.  Why, because we can't argue with results. In an information age, only fools do not know what happened.  Ignorance weakness the will to inaction. A lazy person most definitely hasn't considered the risk he is taking.  What our society needs are people who will distinguish themselves not with talent but strong willingness.  Where anybody can, the gap is for those o will get it done make the difference. 

The Standard

You. You have your dreams and goals.  You have a life you want to succeed in.  You have a Future you are working towards.  You have things you want to achieve.  None of them matters than who you become.  All these this are important, do them quickly, but don't be comfortable that they Matter. Most of them are just fleeting. 

Casual

There is a superficial relief that we seek. A kind that lingers but largely wants to uninvolved.  Like just forwarding a message on social message. Or remain unknown in a new congregation. Or just a retweet or comment in a viral piece of content. Sometimes even to finger our phones aimlessly. Easy.  We want some level of casual incentive with our finances. Like just a swipe and collect loyalty that you will spend on something you would think twice before handing out your hard earned cash.  We also want to be casual with people. We want to be casual with our parents, teachers, and leaders.  Casual sex is not a new invention. Could it be that being casual is man's evolutionary heritage? 

Ma-NUDGE-ment

The change we dream and want is not possible.  We are yet to find an effective strategy to  change  people. Schools have failed miserably on this end.  The alternative is to prod someone in the direction they want to go.  You only achieve this by being a true friend and you being your best self. To change the word, we can have some level of success if we surround ourselves with peers whom we have similar interests.  A nudge in the right direction have a hydraulic effect on leadership. 

My Not-Worth

There is vanity under the sun. You  are introduced to self concepts of potential. You get appraised for the promise of success. Later, you learn no body owes you a thing in the world.  You are torn between two, be yourself and accept your lot in life or play clever and earn as much as you can. What to prove? At times I doubt myself. I think am not worthy. Slowly I have learnt not to use the language.  Other times, I am aware of my potential. I feel I can press who what I deserve. Quickly, I have learnt not to use that language too.  My alternative has been in partnership. Sometimes, their office is a ten thousand times better than my home. But, I nevertheless showo up with a made up mind. - 'I will co-finance this project with you if you pay me this'.  Regards.
