Correction for growth

By -

 



“If you've not seen anything wrong with your yesterday then you aren't growing, and I must congratulate you for giving ego such a big name. But I have to say this: that man(ego) is planning to sift you like wheat”


A man's growth should be such that: when he looks at yesterday, he sees those things he did not do well and improve upon them. That's why we need and have innovation.

It should also be noted that: Growth doesn’t happen by chance; it is a deliberate act that begins when a man decides to face his flaws with courage and honesty. Correction is not punishment, it is direction. Every time you pause to evaluate your actions, choices, and results, you position yourself for improvement.

Our characters, social life, moral upbringing, even in our thoughts, they should be linked to this principle without which we will be doing same thing and expecting a different result.

Those who resist correction often mistake pride for strength. But in truth, the refusal to be corrected is the first sign of weakness. The wise are not those who never err, but those who learn from their errors and refuse to repeat them. That is how progress is born.

Innovation itself is built on correction. A correction of what existed before(that is, capitalizing on the already existed product). The world moves forward because men and women dare to say, “We can do better.” In life, character, and business, correction should be your closest companion.

This-is-how-they-use-to-do-it or This-is-how-I-use-to-do-it is primitive, archaic. A person affected by this self made dogma has a brain aboriginally designed to reject the true future, you are designed for isolation. 

Paraphrasing his statement- Ryan Holiday said: men of principle rarely go without having to compromise their principle(s).

Sometimes it doesn't mean that these principles are bottle-necked, it's just that the custodians of these principles doesn't want anyone to interfere with their individual stands, and so the door to their hearts is closed against corrections. 

Such a person sees nothing wrong with his yesterday, today, and may not see anything wrong with his future tomorrow.

Next to him is Ego( the crown prince of destruction).

Is your business making progress? There's something you've done right. Is it(your business) down already? There's something you've done wrong. There's room for correction/improvement if only self will let you.

Think again about where you didn't do well and sit up. Scan all areas of your life, correct all wrongs, and be good for God's sake!

If your yesterday doesn’t challenge your today, your tomorrow will remain a repetition of the same mistakes. Correction sharpens your vision, humbles your ego, and rebuilds your destiny. Accept it. Work with it. Grow with it.

Because without correction, there can be no true growth. Only motion without progress, speed without direction.

NEVER GO SO SLOW

  NEVER GO SO SLOW There is no comfort in Rope So let me find it in Nail Never go so slow sincere executioner! But speedily. So I sleep so soon and not in pain. Tell me, oh Learned Man! Do I have the right to tell how it should go? If this you must grant me and again none, Then I shall die smiling, for even in my adversary, so much love prevails. Oh! How much they are who wait to hear me speak in the dark But I disappointed them, I never spoke dark speech even in the dark And today, here I stand in the light to suffer for the truth. I’m in for it! Only let me tell you how it should be. So speedily without pain, not with a rope but a Nail from Kalashnikov. CONTENT/POETIC ANALYSIS I just want to remind us today that we don’t own this world, so we shouldn't carry it on our heads. We are only a player: "All the world's a stage, and all men and women merely players" — William Shakespeare's(As You Like It). I won’t really spend much time analyzing the poetic ingredients...

BOOTIES OF WAR

BOOTIES OF WAR Away a step from the scene Where a baby mourned her mum who lived no more It's painful, for us who wept, found no comforter. And those who did, took not his advice. For their fate was controlled by the stream of endless ocean That sprang the baby's eye  Who took no suck if not from mum Who exists no more. Back from the scene For you shall behold and sleep no more. There lies a river that sustains canals That flows to an ocean which gives Wave to no ship of merchandise. What ended him was the edge of a sword Pierce into the soul. All she labored for was her  vessel of honor, Who now, is to men Of valor a booty of war. Toasted like vow wine, prepared just for the master's use. Keep that sword! Or shall you again race while your mother lame? I know! Always had it been in the blood to spill. And yet, there be no Napoleon Who will show, only to behold it conquered. Those who've seen it take it, a film. Those who have heard it, a story. And those who've exp...

 " If I had to give young writers advice, I'd say don't listen to writers talking about writing" - Lilian Hellman Addressing young writers, Lilian Hellman aired her opinion in what seems to be a young writers' want-to-hear statement (i.e., what should I do as a young writer who wants to succeed in my writing career?). Well, she did justice. Hellmann's piece of advice doesn't apply to writing; it could be applied to all facets of human endeavor/profession. Could one ever say that Hellman was ignorant of the fact and need for young writers to seek advice regarding their pursuits in life which may likely help them? No. Hellman understood that some of these advice poses great fear and disbelief in oneself. Sometimes those you seek advice from kills the to-do and to-be spirit in you, or still, inject in you something that will always question every progressive steps you take. Some years ago(when I wanted entering the university), I went and seek advice from som...
