If I were the type of person who continually criticizes others, I would be careful of what I become because sometimes we become the very individual/thing we criticize.
Man strived to improve his life and little world, searched for remedies for the unexpected and undesired side effects and found an alibi and somebody to blame, let it be nature, God, or whatever. Technology and innovation run faster than environmental and societal gap fixes.
When corruption prevails or soars it is because the aware systems surrounding the corrupted person/entity reinforce the corrupted behavior, or turn the blind eye from it instead of rectifying it.
Humans spend the money they neither possess, nor have earned and wonder why they run in vicious circles of indebtedness.
Tomorrow is just another day which we decide what to make of.
Real Changes in our lives come naturally as a result of thoughtful decisions coupled with plans that layout action items for achieving goals and measures for following up on goals’ accomplishment.
A boy remains a material for an excellent man until he decides to turn from a material of something into this actual something. Likewise; a girl remains a material for a great wife and mother until she decides she has grown enough to be ready for this commitment.
A reliable, persistent, and consistent person is what we need as a partner in our lives. Inconsistency usually reveals patterns, which should be noted for any less-than-desired or even abnormal or faked behaviors or attitudes. A partner needs to be dependable in order to rely on them during times of ease and hard times. If a partner is not persistent and focused to achieve the set goals and to turn the partnership into success, as well, then this entire partnership and the eligibility of this person as a partner should be questioned.
Meeting some people push us forward, or enable us to leap in our lives, while meeting others pull us backwards or drag us downwards.
Civilization cannot be obtained merely by purchasing brand name products, driving luxurious cars, or spending a relaxing vacation in an expensive resort or spa. Civilization is about deeply rooted and effortlessly repeated civilized practices of living. That is; once the civilized practice is set to be the norm, it turns into a basic of living. Onwards, the civilization can build on this basic to standardize it through translating it into societal behaviors and attitudes. Real evolving civilizations would even improve such basics further and continuously, in order not to render their civilization to obsolescence in a continually evolving world.
In some cases, a business that failed might be better than a business idea that remained experimental or was never converted into an actual investment. Even in extreme and painful cases of business failure, the lessons learned comprise a treasure if documented and shared properly for learning purposes.
Some societies focus in their businesses on the image, on the expense of a solid core that successively survives fierce economic climates and fluctuations, and on quick and massive short term gains, on the expense of recurring and sustainable real long term profits. Businesses of such societies lend themselves to inevitable deterioration that might develop into termination even when success has been experienced at the outset. Shortcomings here are evident in:
- People who run the business focus on a quick image they want to reflect to easily and quickly market themselves and their businesses, before they focus on building solid internal operations and processes which would result normally in reflecting an actually existing good business image.
- The short term orientation impedes businesses from having a real vision and translating it into goals and smart objectives to achieve. In addition, the organization population is denied their basic right to a learning organization and both a planned and structured learning curve. Therefore; real growth is hindered and a steadily growing and sustainable annuity of revenue on the long term cannot be achieved.
The person might expect, and end up facing a reality that fail way shorter than their initial optimistic expectations; a matter which is acceptable if the expectations weren’t based on scientific and knowledgeable bases. Meanwhile, it is not acceptable for estimates of a desired situation to fall way shorter than the actual situation (resulting in a significant gap) if estimates were based on historical data and implicit trends uncovered in the data.
To reduce risks on your investment, distribute your portfolio investments on several industries and businesses with varying seasons and well-studied and documented risk types and levels. Likewise, to reduce social risks, distribute your relationship investments on diverse and dispersed networks. However; maintain good management when networks intersect and shared connections exist (or are created deliberately) as the situation and the entire socialization process might turn into complete chaos with disastrous outcomes, where one party alone bears its full expense.
Allied parties (partners) with shared cause and goals should be careful when they are disconnected and communication channels are cut completely due to the resulting rage when both parties think the other party has more information, possesses greater knowledge about the situation, and keeps this knowledge and information discretely to themselves from the partner. The situation might be escalated until allied parties consider each other the sole and greatest-threat enemies and start treating each other accordingly. Indeed; an intervening third party who involved themselves (or were involved incidentally by one party) and pretend to be a saint-like friend or advisor who care for both parties’ well-being could be the real party who has the information and uses it secretly to create a gap in the alliance and widen it until the alliance is broken into bunch of hostile groups busy fighting each other, instead of focusing on the real enemy.
Through the course of my simple life and humble being, I noticed the following:
It takes more than a business suit, high heels, good looks, very good accent, presentation and speech skills, to be really professional, so start working hardly and stop wasting others’ time with this marketing/deceiving ability since it will all show on the KPIs ultimately.
Those who abuse the personal aspect of a professional relationship to serve professional needs/goals, and vice versa, end up being exposed on the long term and unfortunately in some cases they end up losing badly and on both levels.
Some people have the ability to fake everything on a daily basis, even their facial expressions, body language, smiles and reactions while talking/responding to an incident. Ask Allah for guidance and support, as this is the only way to discover a hypocrite/liar/deceiver.
Everything has a social aspect as humans are social creatures by nature. Even political and economic activities are designed to serve social interests ultimately. Humans are biased and subjective regardless how hard they try to remain objective and un-biased. This is natural and fun to watch since we are a combined set of attitudes, behaviors, perceptions, emotions, logic and intellect struggling to achieve a balanced point. Once achieved; the balance point will be shifted automatically based on the new set the person has accumulated. The speed of moving to the new balance point will depend on the person himself/herself.
If we depend only on logic; our market will diminish and accordingly our business will die (development is an example). As a result, we shall depend a little bit on emotions and market trends to revolve the logic of systems around actual needs and not vice versa.
Real jealous females do not show jealousy; in fact they focus their daily efforts to reflect the opposite image and sometimes they take it a step further by assuming the role of a devoted and loyal “mentor/assistant/advisor”. In extreme cases where the female feels threatened largely by another female and in order to protect her husband/pursued husband/target she would find a good match for the other female to move her out of her way. Other tactics exist around you; just open your eyes and senses and re-think/challenge the conventional way of thinking you grew up on/got used on.
If you like my post give me 5 for that, if you don’t then I still respect your opinion.
Stay tuned, because this should have a continuation sometime in the future …
