Water Will Seek its Own Level

 Water Will Seek its Own Level

HAPPY MONDAY ! Who thinks that we can just turn on the taps and we can dictate the water levels ?  Uhmmmp, that is a fallacy shredded to pieces over and over again.  To quote RM of BTS, the world famous South Korean boy group says, 'LIFE IS A SCULPTURE THAT YOU CAST AS YOU MAKE MISTAKES AND LEARN FROM THEM'.  You may want to window-dress your life but eventually, WATER WILL SEEK ITS OWN LEVEL'.

To quote another quotable quote, 'life is what you make it'.  The way you set your life's foundations starts things off.  Over time, across years and years, you would have piggy-backed on those foundations and sometimes you added joints that may end up as its 'weak links', those potential POFs' a.k.a. point of failure.

Tragic mistake from many of us is that misconception that we can live our lives on our own terms.  What we want is what we  get ? No senor.  Rather, what we plant is what we harvest.  If we live lives with multiple facades and multiple versions, the it will be a charade that just can't hold fort throughout life because eventually, what's planted gets sowed, gets harvested.  For mistakes we do commit, they are the 'Siamese Twins' of consequences.  Nothing gets swept under the rugs because it is what it is.

Take that no-brainer task to prepare tea [and by the way, there are 3,000+ ways and means to prepare tea].  What gets seeped is the tea you eventually prepared.  If you re-use that tea bag more than what it should have been, that end result ?  Your guess is as good as mine.  If you meticulously prepared it, with the keen of detail it needs when preparing, you could be seeping the best Chinese or British tea ever.

At the end of the day, it's the contents that matters.  Pour it in a cup or kettle or whatever, you'll end up with what and the contents it really is.  In our life, you can sugar-coat but that will only offer you results with both the face value and intrinsic value giving us the very true picture.  But unlike when preparing tea, you can instantly correct yourself, in life, there is no UNDO and mistakes and the consequences could have compounded by then.

In life, if you remain an enigma [even to yourself], who the hell can figure out your end result ?  Again, it all boils down to the contents of what you prepared over time.  In our workplace, if you built a work life where you're self-driven and results-oriented, you will get your results and your stakeholders will take cognizance.  Where your work life is less than stellar, how probable is it for your bosses to tag you as 'hollowed' ?  Indeed that's likely to happen because in life, it's GARBAGE-IN, GARBAGE-OUT.

To cap these all, let me rattle off these one-liners:

ALBERT EINSTEIN - Imagination is more important than knowledge.

NAPOLEON BONAPARTE - Take time to deliberate but when the time for action arrives, stop thinking.

MICHAEL JORDAN - Talent wins games but teamwork wins championships.

ELLEN DeGENERES - Sometimes you can't see yourself clearly unless it is from the eyes of others

OPRAH WINFREY - Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.

Sayeth not.👀
