The walking “Death”

Ha ha... maybe I've watched too many ghost or vampire movies, hence the dramatic heading, but regardless, we are surrounded by many walking dead people.

Look around us; many simply go through the motions, clocking in and out from Monday to Friday. For some students, obtaining a degree or qualification is merely a checkbox rather than a pursuit of true meaning.

It's time to start living and stop behaving like the walking dead. If your work isn't bringing you closer to your ambitions or passions, take action now. Otherwise, you may look back one day with regret, thinking, 'I wish I had tried this or that!'

Everyone desires wealth because they believe it's the ultimate solution to life's problems. Can you name anyone who doesn't face challenges in life? (I believe even someone as wealthy as Bill Gates has his own problems.)

So, what will you do with your current job or studies?

Find a purpose and commit to it wholeheartedly. Whatever happens, let it happen for a reason—whether good or bad, it's up to us to turn it around with the incredible 5-pound muscle in our heads, created by a Higher Being who loves us deeply and made us in His image.

Value our lives and make them the best they can be.

Digging the grave to find clue for living

The 'Vision & Mission' statement is often nothing more than a philosophical claim that many leaders use for self-branding, aiming to appear favorable in front of stakeholders.

We live in a world filled with fabricated facts and figures, which often blind our eyes and minds with the soothing insulin injection of empirical systems.

Quoting or adding another line from the 'Magic of Thinking Big' concept has become a predictable norm—a tired and unexciting cliché. Yet, leaders seem oblivious to the fact that many of us are inwardly chuckling.

Leaders routinely employ the most advantageous tools and methodologies to support their arguments, often borrowed from others, as if it's standard procedure.

When will they wake up and truly listen before speaking, learn before teaching, and empathize before demanding?

Many argue they are in their positions because they are superior to others. But is this really true when we reflect deeply?

Amidst all the fabrication and illusions they create, it feels like we are digging our own graves in search of a reason to live.
