Crack the Code

Life has a way of tossing people up and down. In case you have failed, it is not the end of the world, the story continues. In case you have failed woefully, disappointed greatly, damaged personal reputation and so on, you can still start afresh. It is not really over until it is over.  You are alive is an indication that you still stand a chance.  Do not count your chicken until it is hatched. According to Kenny Rogers ”Every gambler knows that ”the secret of surviving” is knowing what to throw away and what to keep”. Every hand is a winner and every hand is a looser. The best you can hope for is to die in your sleep. ”You can't count your money while sitting at the table, there will be time enough to count them when the deed is done”. Time is one resource the creator has made abundant for us and everybody has it in equal measurement. Time is a resource you can not keep but seize, even when you have missed it, you can recover it. It is within your will to decide what time is y

Isn't that why we suffer a lot, the society is bad,  we know things are not going the right way but we do not want to create more problems so let the sleeping dog lie. Isn't that why our problems grow and they overwhelm us and undermine us because we dare not ask questions, we just let the seeping dog lie. So who will solve the problem? while waiting for somebody to do it, no body does it. It slips our finger, grows so big and out of hand. We let the dog lie. Every body knows it is wrong, everybody knows they are lying, everybody knows we are loosing, we just let the sleeping dog lie So who will do it, who will lead the battle, who will bail the cat. Its quite ironic peolpe need solutions to their problems but see simple, gentle attempt to ask questions as an affront, a confrontation, a show of insubordination to authority. People just want to control, they want to be in charge and do not care who is hurt by what they do. And because we value relationship rather tha

Critical thinking is self-guided, self-disciplined thinking which attempts to reason at the highest level of quality in a fair-minded way. People who think critically consistently attempt to live rationally, reasonably, empathically. They are keenly aware of the inherently flawed nature of human thinking when left unchecked. They strive to diminish the power of their egocentric and sociocentric tendencies. They use the intellectual tools that critical thinking offers – concepts and principles that enable them to analyze, assess, and improve thinking. They work diligently to develop the intellectual virtues of intellectual integrity, intellectual humility, intellectual civility, intellectual empathy, intellectual sense of justice and confidence in reason. They realize that no matter how skilled they are as thinkers, they can always improve their reasoning abilities and they will always at times fall prey to mistakes in reasoning, human irrationality, prejudices, biases, distortions

One day I was taking my son to school. My car had broken down and we had to trek to his school. I was almost getting late and I saw my neighbour whom  I haven't seen in a long while. That pleasantry took a little longer that I was getting really late. However as soon as I was set to go another parent who was dropping off his daughter in the school just pulled off and picked us. That lift made my journey faster and brought us to the school just in the niche of time. Had it been I did not slow down to greet my friend I would have strolled off in a different route, I would have missed the vehicle and I would have arrived the school late. Now this story might not be the same as yours or might be funny but it intuited me a lesson of value. Sometimes we need to Slow down to arrive on time. How many times has it happened to you that you rushed to do things and you missed it still and when you are gone the thing happened. This is an every day experience for people. As human, sometime

Someone asked Bill Gates, Is there any person richer than you? He said, yes, only one. Many years ago, I had been dismissed and I had gone to New York airport. I read titles of newspapers there. I liked one of them and I want to buy it. But I didn't have change (coin). So abandoned the idea, suddenly, a black boy called me and told me, “This newspaper for you.” I said, but I don’t have change. He said, “No problem, I give you free”. After 3 months, I went there. Coincidentally, that story happened again and that same boy gave me another free newspaper again. I said, I can’t accept it. But he said, “I give you from my profit.” After 19 years, I had been rich and I decided to find that boy. I found him after one and half month's search. I asked him, do you know me? He said, “Yes, you’re famous Bill Gates.” I said, you gave me free newspaper 2 times many years ago. Now, I want to compensate it. I am going to give you everything that you want. Black young man replied, “Yo
