Tip number 30 in the book " 50 WAYS TO SUCCESS" by

 Live One Day at A Time

You can only manage if you take each day, the
burden it carries. But load will be excess for you
if you carry yesterday's burden over again today a
then add the responsibility of tomorrow to the weight
before you are required to bear it. Let yesterday go
and leave tomorrow until it arrives. Measure your
daily achieving before another day starts. Every
day when a day ends the first thing you can do is to
measure your progress. Focus often fades because of
lack of feedback. Your brain has a natural desire to
know whether or not you are making progress toward
your goals, and it is impossible to know that getting
feedback. From a practical standpoint, this means
we need to measure our results.We all have areas
of life that we say are important to us, but that we
aren’t measuring. That's a shame because
measurement maintains focus and concentration.
The things we estimate are the things we improve.
It is only through numbers and explicit tracking that w
have any idea if we are getting better or worse.
•    When I measured how many pushups I did, I got started
•    When I tracked my reading habit of 20 pages per
day, I read more books.
•    When I recorded my values, I began living with
more integrity.
The tasks I measured were the ones I remained
focused on.Unfortunately, we often avoid measuring
because we are fearful of what the numbers will tell
us about ourselves. The trick is to realize that
measuring is not a judgment about who you are;
it's just feedback on where you are.  Measure to
discover, to find out, to understand. Measure to get
to know yourself better. Measure to see if you're
spending time on the things that are important to you.
Measure because it will help you focus on the things
that make and ignore the things that don’t.

CAMPUS: AN EARTHLY PARADISE.

“The story of determination and diligence.” Would you not want to listen to story with such a caption? Captivating; gets you adjusting your position of rest, captures your attention and you give it that smile hoping for a story well told and you settle to give it that perfect read. The story betters with every line. Before you know it, you are absorbed into the story; eyes glued, only rolling from one end of a line to other, the head as motionless as a tree. Well, you might ask what all the determination and diligence is all about given that you are not actually reading the story(with the fact that you are reading this article in assumption). The determination story is a that of a pupil. A pupil in primary school. The pupil works hard, does well in the final examinations and books a slot in a good secondary school. That is success enough; but out of passion, determination and diligence, more follows. The student (our pupil approximately a year ago), is now in high school thus a student...

Take Action

Tip number 4 in the book " 50 WAYS TO SUCCESS" by Salim Mohammed Kea To succeed in any way, you first must do something. Big thoughts, bright ideas, yes, but nothing will happen until you put it to action. Your success in achieving what you want in life requires two things, you must know how, and then does it. Inaction in all forms is self-defeat which leads to failure. Your dreams will only come true when you act to turn them into reality. If you don't respond, something terrible happens NOTHING! Today’s success is just like the traffic lights; therefore, if it is a red stop if its yellow pause as you get ready and if its green go ahead the world is yours. Green is freshness; thus, whatever you prepare, you plan to achieve today that’s now gone for it. Although people once said your dream is someone else’s occupation. Yes, it is true, but everyone is talented differently using different potentials take a unique action, and you will move far. Let only the...

DEATH, LOVE AND LIFE

Dear Love, Death always comes as a shock even when it is expected, for instance, in the case of terminal illness. So what you are going through is pretty normal. It is called grieving, and grieving is a process rather than an event. Although you don't say how long ago he passed away, it will take time for you to come to terms with the fact that someone you were close to is no longer here. For those who are left, the loss of a loved one feels like the world has come to an end. But over time, the feeling of devastation begins to fade. However,there are things you can do to help you cope better with your loss. This is just like tending to physical wound-in order for it to heal nicely, with minimal scarring,one must keep it clean and sometimes covered or even immobile. There are even wounds that require to be disinfected against anything that could cause them to become worse. Over time, and with proper care, the wound should heal and the person can become effective again. When it comes...
