TOLERANCE

It is not always easy when you work or walk with someone whose life pattern is opposite of what you cherish. Sometimes, it chokes. But you gotta do something, you get to tolerate.
       Tolerance is willingness to accept the behaviours of others with love, even though, they seems not to fit your belief.
        Our society is so flame up with so much hatred and conflicts because of lack of tolerance. We all want to be pleased, we all want everyone to understand us, we want even people we don't know or contacting for the first time to know what we want and what we don't want, and this is very impossible. Your own responsibility is to tolerate, then the respect will come to you.
      As a social being, we need to understand this fact as we relate with one another in the society, "human beings are made of different behavioural patterns". We can never be the same and you can never find someone whose behaviours or ways of life will be as perfect as you want. Everyone have their flaws. And you get to tolerate them if you want to live with them.
     Tolerance is one of the tools to a peaceful living and relationship. It makes you to accept people without being judgemental them. It makes you see no bad in them for you already understand that, human beings can not be without any flaw. Flaw is part of humanity and Tolerance is an aspect of humility.
     As a boss, your employees can not behave one-way. No, it's not possible. But what do you do with those who seems to be different, you'll treat them with tolerance. It might not be easy, but the simplest way to correct people is to first tolerate, if you don't rage at their flaws, they will easily realize themselves and work towards change.
   Oh! You are a teacher, you will see how difficult it might be to tolerate a student who will not understand you in class, no matter how many methods you used to teach. No matter how much you try. You got to tolerate and move closer to such student, there you would be able to discover the problem and need of such students and stage for improvement.
     In interpersonal relationships like, friendship, courtship, marriage or otherwise, tolerance brings you to the state of reality of who you flock with is(are). How? When you tolerate a behaviour, another one will spring forth, therefore without much studies or enquiries, you will know the depth of such person's personality.
      No matter how simple you seem to appear, someone must offend you, but when you have built in yourself Tolerance, you will not be offended. And the fact you must also not forget is, You are not perfect.
So add to the love and peace in your society by being tolerant. It is your responsibility as a social being.

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

Identity. It’s the essence of who you are—your personality, the core of your being. Selfhood, on the other hand, is the expression of that identity, the way you present yourself to the world. Think back to a time when you had to show your identity card. Do you remember the reaction of the person you handed it to? Likely, they nodded in approval, having seen all the necessary information about you on that card. Your identity, in that moment, was defined by the details captured on that small piece of plastic. But identity is more than just what's written on a card. It’s how you define yourself and how others perceive you. It’s the name you give yourself, the image you project, and the way people recognize you. Selfhood is often conveyed through three key aspects: - Dressing (Your Appearance) - Actions (What You Do and How You Do It) - Speech (The Words You Speak and How You Utter Them)  Dressing (Your Appearance) There’s a common saying: "Appearance shows the manner."

The Greatest Goal

When the ball enters the net, they say it's a goal! And the loosing team feel defeated forgetting that they've got the greatest goal.  Same to a man who has all his goals lain down and strategically pulling his efforts towards the goal but to realize at the end that, his goals can't be achieved, for known or unknown reasons. He looses strength. At times, he can feel like it's over. But the truth remains that it's not over until it is over. He's got the greatest goal.       Really, a goal is the achievement toward which effort is directed. And billions are the "I want to", "by God's grace I will", "in fact, I must" in the speeches of every man, especially at the beginning of every matter, but strength wanes and the story changes maybe in the middle of the road. Because all efforts put towards the achievement of the goals seem to be less affective. The truth is, no man has control over whatever happens and will happen....
