No Exit Door

“Love thy neighbour like thyself.”

“Forgive thy enemies.”

Saith the Lord Himself

Why, then, the armies?

Twenty-one centuries and more

No Exit door

Time Well Wasted

It’s not all work. It’s not all preoccupations. It’s not all planning.

Doing nothing is a gift we cannot ignore. So, yes, go ahead and make the time to waste it.

Indeed, doing nothing for an instant is the best philosophy and remedy for all illnesses and encourages businesses to improve productivity.

On Egocentric Leaders

People lose their minds when they follow an egocentric leader who has lost his mind.

On Wisdom, Ignorance, and Temptation.

Wisdom may take you away from Ignorance, but it won’t take you away from Temptation.

Temptation was the first instance that challenged reason. According to The Bible, the serpent tempted Eva, Eva tempted Adam, and so on to our days, always someone or something tempting someone.

A Fraction of God

We’re a fraction of what we could be

A fraction of God

Yes, we’re humans, you and me, he and she

Humans are nothing much of a number

In this brotherhood of sinners we call humanity

But what we indeed are is a fraction of what we could be

On Odd Training Courses.

Well, my dear friends, I helped people develop soft skills in my younger days. I did this as a staff developer, mainly focusing on the needs and wants of the hospitality industry.

Apart from this, and as a curiosity, I have found some odd training plans after exchanging experiences with colleagues and researching.

Here are some examples of odd training courses taken from real life:

Vicious Phenomenon

Please allow me to be sorrowful once again. See? The problem is that I cannot be indifferent to what happens around me.

I woke up today to the sad news that a young man of 14 had killed three classmates and committed suicide. It all happened in the boy’s school. The city doesn’t matter. The country doesn’t matter. Young lives matter no matter where they are from.

On Eternity

Eternity in one moment exists.

But when you think of it, of that moment, eternity in one moment exits.

True. Eternity is selfish.

You can find eternity in one moment; a moment of ecstasy may bring your spirit to eternal bliss.

Occasional Lover

As I turned off the lights, she emerged

Flirtatious

Covered with translucent veils.

Naked beneath the veils

Uninhibited she exhibited

The silhouettes of her dales.

To Write is to Despair

To write is to despair. Indeed. If you write, it is because you have all these ghosts pushing to get out from you, as if you were a jail, an asylum, better, with all these characters wondering what they are doing there inside you.

Touching Last Words

"Father, forgive them because they don't know what they are doing." (Luke 23:34 NIV)

These are the most touching last words ever said, and even more disheartening is that they are as relevant today as they were twenty-one centuries ago.

On Reputation

So, if reputation is what others judge about you, and you know you don’t have control over what others judge you, then don’t worry about reputation. Instead, build your brand on a rock, and everybody will come to you to seek shelter.

Humanity and You

If you feel like expanding your love to reach humanity

Look yourself in the mirror first

No! It’s not wrong to love yourself

As long as you don’t become too narcissistic

It’s good to feel your worth

Remember: everything starts with you

You are the cornerstone of a better world.

Believe in Your Story

It has dinned on us that persistence is the key to success.

We know, without getting into the details, that many successful people have followed this mantra to the core, and so, we must persist to achieve our goals no matter how many failures we encounter.

However, persistence shouldn’t be a blind force because it can backfire or become a trap to our aspirations.
