THE SECRET of LIFE IS IN YOU


THE SECRET of LIFE IS IN YOU
The Great Spirit called together all of the Gods to discuss a most grave and important matter.

She had decided to create human beings but knew that they would not be able to cope with The Secret of Life and so needed to keep it from them.

She gave the Gods the task of finding a place to hide The Secret of Life.
The Gods met and discussed and argued and debated but after several weeks they could still not think of a place to hide The Secret of Life.

Eventually, one God came up with a solution that met with the approval of most of the Gods. He suggested that they hide The Secret of Life deep in the roots of the highest mountain because humans would never be able to find it there.

The Gods were pleased with themselves and were about to go and tell the Great Spirit their solution to the problem but one God spoke up. He said that although it would take a long time to find the secret of Life, they would find it.

Eventually, they would find the highest mountain and climb it. Eventually, they would build a drilling machine and dig into the roots of the highest mountain. It might take them thousands of years but they would find it.

The Gods were now in despair. The Great Spirit was going to create human beings very soon and they hadn’t solved Her problem.

After some time one of the Gods, realized that if it were not the roots of the highest mountain, then what about the depths of the deepest ocean.

Once again the Gods were happy and about to go to The Great Spirit. But once again, the same God stopped them. 

Eventually, humans would find the deepest ocean. Eventually, they would create submarines.
Eventually, they would put the drilling machine on to the front of the submarine.

Eventually, they would find The Secret Of Life. It might take them thousands of years but they would find it.

The Gods were now really worried. The Great Spirit was going to create human beings the very next day and they had still not solved the problem for her.

And it is those quiet moments of reflection that the answer emerges, for if we stay quiet long enough The Littlest God can be heard. She is always there, sitting quietly in the background, saying nothing.    But when she does finally say something, it is always worth listening to.

And the Littlest God suggested that they tell The Great Spirit to hide The Secret of Life inside human beings because they would never even think to look there.

How to Disrupt Yourself

How to Disrupt Yourself I write this piece with apprehension on my mind. The reason why I am trepidating with fear is because I just got information that shocked me to the marrow. Kodak filed for bankruptcy in 2012. However, Steven Sasson (the inventor of the first digital camera in the world) was an employee of Kodak. In 1975, two years after he joined Kodak, he showed these devices to his bosses. His bosses were unimpressed and were convinced that nobody would want to look at pictures from a television set. Kodak’s marketing department also resisted it, because they believed that it will cannibalize film sales. Sasson filed the patent for the electronic still camera in 1977. In 1989 Sasson and Robert Hills made the first DSLR camera. Kodak didn’t embrace the camera, even though they made billions from the digital camera patent until when the patent ran out 30 years later. I am sure you are pondering, what I am pondering. May we ne

SHARED ECONOMY

SHARED ECONOMY A wise man once told me that the world is made up of the haves and have not. I pondered on that statement for many years because the impression I had was that everyone has gifts and abilities in their own measure. So why did that old sage say that some people have and others don’t have. The answer is what this article is about. For Example, When you don’t have money to start a business (have not), you go to a bank that has money to lend you. In this context, the bank has money, but you don’t have money. One thing is certain in Economics, “Human beings are insatiable.” That insatiability in humans has made crave to own the best things in life ranging from cars, gadgets, houses, furniture and even computers. What these means is that we will still be left with people who have these gadgets and those who don’t have. What could possibly be the way out for the have not. Welcome to the world of the Shared Economy. A shared economy is an e

PLANNING IS EVERYTHING

PLANNING IS EVERYTHING I begin with the words of Winston Churchill who said that: “Plans are of little importance, but planning is essential. I couldn’t agree less with this noble man. It is time for us to Plan TODAY. What are we planning for: A Wedding, An Exam, A House Building Project, A Successful Future. Whatever it is, You have start with a plan because: “If you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail” In a nutshell, I think planning is a virtue that is readily available from the creation of the world till now, yet man barely uses planning as a tool. I look around me and I see that every new technology that is been used today is or was a function of someone’s planning.  The houses we live in are a function of someone’s planning. The decisions we make today are a function of many years of planning which is been executed by us today. Two years ago, I made a decision to join Project Management International (PMI) and as I
