Dreamers et Sleepers

Image
By
"Dreams are not what you see while you sleep, it is that which does not let you sleep" Dr A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. In essence, people with great dreams and aspirations do not sleep, hence their nights are meant for planning and navigation of their dreams. Night does not give lucid dreams to great men, they create their dreams at night. Sleeping is an essential part of every human being, but too much sleep kills destiny and dreams. Here we are not necessarily talking about the physical dream or sleep. 
    Dreamers are those who have discovered their purpose of existence and are working hard to make it real. Sleepers also are people who know what they should become but are doing nothing to call it forth. It is not enough to know or have the knowledge about who you want to be, the most important thing to know is that your work brings whatever it is to reality.
Dreamers are those who see beyond today, they see far beyond their nose while sleepers are the shortsighted, they know, but can not behold the reality.
Dreamers are those whose believe is far above realities and sleepers are who their horizons are shallow .
    Sleepers dream about yesterday and today while dreamers dream about tomorrow.  A myopic poor man is a sleeper and a foresighted man is a dreamer.
Sleepers are only active during the day but dreamers are always at work, day and night.
    The destiny/ dreams of sleepers are dormant but that of dreamers are active. Every human being has a picture of greater tomorrow, but majority are sleeping away there dreams.
  Know this that, the closer you are to your bed, the farther you are to your destiny.
   As early stated, sleeping is not only the act of closing your eyes at night, it means closing your eyes against the better and best tomorrow, sleeping can mean laziness. Nothing can a lazy man achieve in this present world than poverty. So, Jack up from your sleep and set yourself at work, write something down, take an action, take a risk, spend the night working, don't sleep away your destiny, work it out!

THE MIRROR: IDENTITY AND SELFHOOD

By
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

By
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....
