Planner

-

I often wonder why some people excel in what they do. I believe it's not solely due to natural gifts or advantages. While there might be cases where these play a role, I think in most cases, it's not the primary factor.

As Abraham Lincoln once said, "Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe." Reflecting on this quote reinforces the importance of prior planning and strategizing.

Even if I work at a slower pace or take more time compared to my peers, adopting the mindset of prior planning and strategizing significantly reduces the chances of falling behind them and increases the likelihood of standing out.

In almost everything I do, especially in social interactions, I should always make an effort to allocate time for planning and strategizing before engaging. This will lead to increased productivity, a more fulfilling life, and greater confidence and happiness.

To summarize, consistently planning ahead for tasks and days will enhance my life, boost my confidence and happiness, and improve my chances of excelling in what I do.

No wonder it is already prophesied in the Bible. However, some incidents are avoidable.  Recently, on Thursday 6:05 pm, a huge explosion blowing in from a port warehouse rocked Beirut the capital city of Lebanon. From the report, at least 300 people died, more than 5000 were injured. The injury and death toll are li...

Lesson 1: When engaging in a conversation, if someone poses a question, I am most likely to intend to give them answers they want to hear, as I don't want to hurt their feelings or invite conflict, even a minor one. However, by doing this, I don't think I am maintaining and protecting my principles. I compromise my bravery and honor, and I don't respect myself. So, from now on, when asked a question, I will not give non-genuine answers. I will offer genuine responses, regardless of whether they contradict their expectations or desires. I cannot tell a lie or give a non-genuine answer. I cannot compromise my principles by providing a non-genuine answer. The next time I have to respond to questions, especially when the answers may not align with their expectations or desires, I will take a short pause and provide genuine responses in a diplomatic and polite manner because I must uphold my principles. I have to protect my principles at all costs. Lesson 2: When my expectation ...
