APPLICATIONS/SOFWARES



This piece is rather going to be a short, apt, and precise one. However, I hope, the message will be clear, straight and simple for comprehension to all and sundry. I therefore urge you to read it with keen interest and also with an opened mind.
We live in a generation invaded by an ever increasing technological advancement; thus, we have diverse technological devices and appliances to our daily benefits; chiefly the laptops and the smartphones. These laptops and smartphones have several softwares and applications that make them effective for usage. These softwares and applications have unique and different functions that meaningful usage of them will enable the devices to achieve their predefined purposes.
Most often, many people have different softwares on their laptops and a host of applications on their smartphones; however, failure to put these softwares and applications into meaningful usage is like building houses you don’t live in only to be occupied by rodents and their likes. Every software and application has a unique purpose it performs in every device, and where purpose is not adequately defined, abuse is certainly inevitable. Therefore, some softwares or applications are necessary or major prerequisites for the running of the device while others are merely optional.
Enough of technology; what does this obvious technological illustration trying to tell us? Our lives are like well-designed technological devices, amazing masterpieces of God’s great technology, with the right installations of the suitable and relevant softwares or applications, fulfillment of our purpose is assured. God therefore desires that all softwares and applications that we install in our lives as His custom made devices be put to accurate and adequate usage to bring Him glory and also to benefit us and our generation.
Most relevantly, what are these softwares and applications we are supposed to install in our lives every day? Answering this question rightly will set one’s life in the right course of purpose fulfilling operation. These softwares and applications are our habits, attitudes and characters that we display every day. Again, they can be friends, mentors, models and other people we have given them authority over our lives; also, some of these applications and softwares are relationships, contemporaries and colleagues.
The rightful installation of the above mentioned softwares and applications into our lives will keep our lives focused and steady on fulfilling our destiny and life’s purpose. If you are to check throughout history the record of men and women that succeeded or failed, you will realize that their success or failure is somehow related to one or more of the above listed softwares or applications. So it is pertinent to note here that the kind of softwares and applications you install in your life’s system or devices will determine your subsequent success or failure in life.
Thus, what and how are your habits? How functional is your attitude? How edifying is your character? Who are your friends? Who are your mentors and models?  How beneficial are your relationships, how helpful are your contemporaries and colleagues? I deeply believe that answering these questions aright will change your life and ensure that fulfilling your life’s purpose comes with certainty. It is worthy of note here that not every habit, attitude and character is worth installing in your life’s system or device. Installing the wrong thing is equivalent to getting wrong results and installing the right ones means getting maximum and fruitful results.
To wrap it up, are the softwares or applications in your life’s system or device enabling you to operate effectively and functionally or are they merely filling up space, slowing and weighing you down? Are there softwares and applications you need to install in your life starting from now? Are there also others you need to uninstall with immediate effect? I dare you to answer these two questions with utmost sense of sincerity and earnestness, if you do, I bet you your life will flow with operational efficacy, maximum relevance and lasting fruitfulness.

Don’t keep or install needless softwares and applications into the precious device of your life, because the beauty and essence of life is the meaningful application and installation of life’s softwares and applications in every day’s life.

FIRST THING FIRST

  Our Default Setting  So I have a friend who has this significant order he looks up to a lot. He has made it in life as an international professor based in the United State and has all the right connections (if you get what I mean). My friend had this deeply ingrained mindset back then in school that once he is done with undergraduate studies, getting employed will not be an issue for him. Five years down the line, he is still pulling and pushing through life to make both ends meet. What happened to the hope he had of being helped by his significant order? Quashed. I know you can relate to this story, you might have heard similar experiences with people you look up to fail you, disappoint you, and let you down. Nigerians believe that the easiest way to get disappointed and useless in life is to look up to your uncle. (How true is this? you judge for yourself). Such is life as we see it. At the end of the day, your help and lifting may or may not come through such people that ...

DON'T JUST LOSE IT

So I failed to send out the publicity for what I am to write on and share with you yesterday; partly because I have been dragging with my health lately and the fact that writer's block came visiting. Just like trust, consistency is one thing that once established, you don't just lose it. Building consistency is like earning trust, it takes time but can or may be lost in a blink of an eye. So I thought about this yesterday, knowing that someone out there may be waiting on me to send something out today, and here I am, about to make the waiting go down the drain. Well, I had to write something. In life, we exert our efforts, direct our attention and channel our determination to achieve or get some things through persistence, only to let them slip past our fingers because we lack the keeping power of consistency. What I mean is, persistence gets it, consistency keeps it; so by all means, in your persistence, be consistent.  In describing what consistency is not, Hundred Life Desig...

The 4 Heartbeats of COMMITMENT

  In my last piece, I established that commitment is the spine upon which every worthy achievement in life stems. It counts the cost and pays the proportionate price. Commitment singles you out of the crowd. Don't travel this life without adding tones of commitment to your backpack. I also added that where you are and who you are right now is not in any way unrelated to the number of commitments you have made in the past. To drive the nail further down into the coffin, I will share four major variables that serve as the heartbeats of commitment. Through them, commitment comes alive, and with them, we see, touch, and feel the reality of commitment. Commitment is Sacrificial  If you are committed to someone or something, the first proof is that you sacrifice or give your all for it. Here, you bet your life, stake it out and lay it down on the line. The pages of history are scattered with men and women who were committed to worthy causes and people they loved and valued; the proo...
