You sow to reap

If you're reading this, you made it to the new year. Therefore, I'd start by saying congratulations. Not everyone made it into 2018, so count yourself lucky.  What are your plans for the year? You may be amongst the significant percentage that make new year resolutions and don't seem to accomplish by the end of the year or the rest who freestyle through the year or you may be amongst the wise few who set goals and work on achieving them at some point in the year. My blog from January 2017 discusses goal setting and how to achieve the set goals by the end of the year.  However, in this blog, I would like to talk about career building and reflecting on the future societal trends. You may not know this but by the year 2030 robots or robotic technology would have taken over a significant part of our workforce.  It has already started. All you just have to do is look around.  The government and business corporations are adopting this idea because of many reasons.  Reduced financial costs/payment by employers, higher work output, less fatigue in the workplace, and so on. Movie theaters now have gotten rid of customer representatives who sell tickets and replaced them with robotic ticket dispensers. Cars that self drive people to destinations of choice are being gradually introduced to be used as taxis or uber cars. It is important to be fully aware and adapt to changes and trends in society. Young adults who are seeking a university degree may want to consider all these factors before applying to a university or college. People who are currently functioning in their career may consider advancing up the chain or branching off to something that will not be affected by introduction of progression of technology. Technology is great and will help us achieve a lot of things we could not achieve on our own. Technology is how I'm connected to you and is how you can access my blogs and the pieces of information within. However, technology will take over many jobs and leave a significant amount of people without jobs. If there is one thing the government and business corporations love, is to invest in things that will produce more for less. What better time to get your mind focused on the future than the first month of 2018. You can only reap based on what you sow. I wish you all the best of the year and I hope you achieve all your goals this year.

Find YOU

If you have read any of my blogs, you would know how I always emphasize the importance of relationships in our existence. Relationships not only gives meaning to our existence, but it also drives our daily routine and life. Our survival, adaptation and ability to exercise our emotions all stem from our engagements in different relationships. Therefore, it is safe to say that relationships play a key role in our lives. Every relationship we form with people is imperative to our growth as an individual, because those relationships in my many ways depicts who we are as a person. Our relationships with others may be important but the most important relationship we could ever form is the one we have with ourselves. Although, this is the most important relationship and the one that requires most of our energy and intentions towards building, it is the one we shy away from the most. We go into relationships with many people without actually having a proper understanding of who we are as a p...

She won't call him handsome

Women in general are created to perfection. Their well-proportioned facial features, bodacious curves and innate cat-like walks are some of many things women possess that drive men insane. Traditionally, it has been the duty of the man to acknowledge a woman’s appearance or beauty. Most people would agree that it is the gentleman’s thing to do. A man who takes a woman out on a date is expected to compliment her appearance or beauty if he wants to score a second date with her. Admiration comments are also expected from husbands and boyfriends. Many couples have had fights that stemmed from the husband not complimenting their wives’ appearance. This stresses the importance of verbally acknowledging a woman’s appearance. However, it is also important for the woman to acknowledge the men on their appearance because men do appreciate those words and compliments. Words like “You are so handsome”, “I love that color on you. It makes you look more attractive” makes a man feel like a million ...

Submissiveness in marriage

    The topic of women being submissive in marriage has been one that has drawn a lot of negative reactions from women in recent years. I believe this could be as a result of bad leadership from some men, the influence of social media on relationships, differences in eras in relation to women’s progression in the work force or society amongst other reasons. However, this topic is a sensitive one and one that goes beyond couple of reasonings that may fuel the negative connotations.  Couple of months ago, I had a conversation with a colleague who is a woman and our discussion centred on roles of women and men in a marriage. She argued that women and men are equal in a marriage and there is nothing as submissiveness that should be expected from a woman and that the man is not the leader or head of the household. So is this true? Are these the feelings or sentiment shared by women in marriages or those seeking to be in marriages? Although, I believe that God is the author of ...
