PRODUCTIVITY OR BUSY

Image
So many folks out there have got some kind of aspirations they so much desire to actualize. They strive hard enough in order to quickly attain the sublime aspirations of those goals and for this reason; they are completely swamped with so many tasks to get done to the point that the 24 hours in a day is just not enough. But I’ve always had a question begging for an appropriate answer hovering over my mind for a while now and that is; “Is it everyone who’s got so many task at hand that is actually Productive or just Busy”? Before such question can be anchored on any reasonable answer, let’s first make sense of what Productivity and being Busy are. There are so many people out there who appears to be accomplishing a lot, always occupied with tasks and constantly being rushed to keep their heads above water. They are frequently being perceived as Productive fellows but in reality, are they truly being Productive? The fact of the matter is a busy person does not equal...

THE SLAUGHTERED RAM

The religion of Islam is one which has billions of people practicing it, and it’s a religion that is decorated with strict code of conducts of its members (MUSLIMS). I make bold to say that there is no single act of worship in this beautiful religion, except that there is a principle guiding its implementation.

It is wrongly misconceived that THE SLAUGHTERED RAM is a sacrifice made to appease some kind of deity. I seek refuge in ALLAH from the accursed ...

HAVING THE RIGHT MINDSET

“The journey of a thousand miles they say begins with a single step”. It doesn’t matter the duration the journey will consume – it all begins with one single step. I wholeheartedly agree with this claim. But have you ever thought about it, even though that single step has been taken, it does not guarantee the eventual success of that journey? So many travelers have failed to make it to their desired destination of success on account of so many factors, some of which are within their control and some beyond. It has been discovered that a lot of ambitious travelers have failed to initiate their journey with the right mindset that will help prepare them for the storm that lies ahead. They were too consumed in their overwhelming view of the success they aim to achieve, and when they dive into the ocean to begin their pursue, they end up drowning and getting to nowhere. Now, what does it mean to have the “RIGHT MINDSET”? This view can be better captured in the story of a...
