Motivation: A bit of hope

The story is told of Martin Luther King Jnr who was asked the question : “what would you do if you knew the world was going to end tomorrow ? Luther’s answer was” I would plant an apple tree today’. Hope is about believing that its is still worthwhile to plant an apple tree today even when everyone else is chopping down those trees foe firewood.

There is no doubt we all need a bit of hope to allow us to soldier on .Hope gives us morale ,hope motivates and gives us the reason to hold on to life , even when we encounter hard times .”Hard times never kill “They are meant to strengthen us .Hope re-energizes us .Hope is a process ,it is what the first Black American president Mr. Barrack Obama possessed until the day of his historical victory .

Hope is a choice, everyday we can choose to die or to live .Hope allows us to live life to its fullest no matter hoe daunting the predicament is .Why cant you have a bit of hope in your life .Hope is a mission that has to reach a completion

Money :Is it the greatest source of motivation?

Some call it cash money, imali, muler ,some say its the love of it is the root of all evil whilst others say it makes the world go around.The most interesting thing about money is that some of us cannot leve without it and neither can they live with it for to them its a case of "more money more problems" .Over the years,scholars have argued that: "the greatest source of motivation is money.Well we all need money as a means of exchange and to facilitate trade transactions and a store of value .However ,to a greater extent money has failed to motivate many people for the greatest motivator is a strong, clear and passionate vision.

Visionary leaders are people who do not just paint a picture, but those that paint it and explain it! The whole essence of visionary leadership is rooted in one`s ability to effectively share their vision to others in such that even in their absence what they sought to achieve is achieved by others. The good thing about vision sharing is that you do not need to be there for your vision to be achieved. Most importantly you have to tackle all limitations and turn your tragedies into triumphs. The world has its own standards of determining hero and heroine status but to me it is those leaders that have turned their tragedies into triumphs and dark nights into victory that I believe deserve the status. A blind man`s world is bounded by the limits of his touch; an ignorant man`s world by the limits of his knowledge; a great man`s world by the limits of his vision .Paul Harvey What is vision?
