The most ignored fact about life
Personal freedom include freedom of mind, you know you have freedom of mind when you have the ability to objectively analyze situations, decide objectively, choose what is suitable for you, value yourself and life not only your own life but lives of others. Though we all wish and expect to live as many years as possible in this world, we ignore to live accordingly. The most ignored fact of lives is : WE WILL LIVE AS MANY YEARS AS POSSIBLE. 

Here are some examples to explain how we ignore this fact: 

Business: Our businesses do not have long term stability plans and strategies. It is like these businesses are expected to live shorter lives than ours. So, if you think you want to see your business exist as long as you are alive in this world, plan for that, implement strategies and monitor the progress of your business to ensure your business has long term survival and growth. 

Studies: We all know we go to school/colleges to get knowledge, this is the knowledge that we will live with as long as we are alive. There will be improvement to this knowledge due to experience and further studies, but the point is, this is the knowledge we acquire for a certain specific reason be it a job or self employment. Both job and self employment are long term, now ask yourself is that the way you consider when you go for studies? Or getting knowledge is a time passing activity which has no long term effects to our lives? Good career choice and hard working at school are good practices in building our personal freedom. 

Children: We expect the children we bring to the world will be real human beings who will live for as many years as possible, they will have responsibilities for their lives when they get old enough to do that, but they need parents first to raise them, build their foundation etc. But what do you consider when giving birth to a child; do you have a big picture of this child as a man or woman in his 30s etc? How are you prepared to help him or her get better life? Do you live responsibly for him or her once he or she is born? You know he needs your support but you are recklessly involved in sex relationships, alcohol, crime etc, and you have poor management of resources that are also important for this new born child etc.. 
 
Employment: Whether it is for earning a living, pursue a passion or just a particular short term objective, your employment relates to something of value to your long term survival. But in some cases, we ignore this fact, and let ourselves perform poorly. Some people have found themselves unemployable after leaving one job because of poor reputation they had from previous job. Others don’t get promoted simply because they can’t show their improved level of skills and commitment. If you want to plan to employ yourself, your current job may be an opportunity to learn a particular skill, or simply a place for you to learn management of organizations.
 WE WILL CONTINUE TOMORROW.....
