How to Develop Patience for Your Personal Productivity

HOW would you describe yourself; a patient or an impatient person? I can be impatient I must admit. On a general note, have you noticed that it seems like everything nowadays is fast and instant, what some call the ‘World of Instant Gratification’; instant coffee, instant messages via email and fax, instant education via online colleges, instant banking and so on. One is therefore tempted to ask, why wait in a world that literarily offers everything instantly? Reports say that it is now more difficult to be patient than at any other time in history.

HOW much are you worth? This is probably one of the most disturbing issues many people face in today’s world; their worth. What is a person’s worth in the truest sense of the word? Is it in terms of money; Naira and Kobo, Pounds and Pence or Dollars and Cents, or property or other assets? Maybe it is time to redefine your worth, your value.

We live in an age where you are assessed and judged by the balance on your bank account, your social net worth, the vast and diverse contacts you have, the investments and assets you own, or own you depending...But, are these criteria fair in assessing a person's worth or value? Is a person's value truly based on his or her accumulations? I think differently. Is it bad for one to have things and possessions? Absolutely not, but there is a problem when things and possessions own one.

What If Tomorrow Never Comes?

WHAT if tomorrow never comes?… In life and relationships, certain things are as a matter of urgency, urgent! Let me share this true story inspired by a friend, Victor.

Ifeanyi, Victor and I, attended the same university, the University of Ibadan. Infact we were in the same department. After graduation, daily pursuits, with our consent, took us to different directions. One thread however ran through all of us; we were aiming for the top, and deploying all resources available to us to achieve our dreams. While we saw and interacted almost everyday while in school, the same cannot be said after our graduation. Sadly, the age-long saying, 'out of sight is out of mind', caught up with us. We got too busy, too preoccupied by everyday challenges. We barely called one another...and one day...the news came...Ifeanyi, our Ifeanyi, had, unexpectedly, passed on. Just like that, no notice, just like that....
