THIS OR THAT

            


Thinking Hard vs. Thinking Easy — Poise Alexander Technique Melbourne



             Everyone in life has come or will come to a point that they ask this question, "This or That". We all ask ourselves at a certain point in life to decide between good or bad, what is wrong and right, what is decent and indecent. acceptable and unacceptable and many others along opposing divides.
    "This or That"-
            This relates to making the right decisions in times we are in critical situations. Now peradventure, in your school you were given the opportunity to join the most popular clique because of your talents and gifts and it's an opportunity everyone is dying and craving to get. Let us assume you've been warned by your parents to be careful of those kinds of groups. In a sense, it's a very rare privilege, what do you do? Now you've come to a point of "This or That", a situation where you ask yourself, "What should I do?" or "Should I go?". But this is wrong.
            In this case, you now the right thing to do, but it's very difficult. Yes, it's hard to make right decisions but they save you from grievous consequences later in life.
            A secondary student has a choice to make concerning peer pressure. A young teenager has a choice to make whether to indulge in alcoholism or harlotry. An accountant also has a choice to whether to steal and manipulate figures or not. So as we can see making good choices leaves on the mix zone and we are left with defining the course of our destiny by choosing "This or That".
            Taking the right decisions in life is very key because it presents to us opportunities to develop good values and to live by them. So when we come to the thought of "This or That", we should always remember that actions you take today influence your tomorrow. 

Thank you and see you next week Thursday.

CAREFUL WHAT YOU ASK FOR

I didn't fully understand this phrase "be careful what you ask for" till it happened to me. Preparing for my SIWES (Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme), I wanted a good place. An environment where I could learn and grow not just work... I was so sure that was what I wanted. I applied to various offices, checked for placements online, made enquiries from family and friends, even wrote an exam (on top SIWES 😂) and sent a lot of mails.  I eventually got a call to resume work as I had been accepted. Getting there, I realized they didn't directly offer the service I wanted to gain practical experience in, but they offered something similar which is still a plus. Now, this is where it began. Work officially started and this was nothing like what I planned or asked for. In the first week of resumption all SIWES interns were given a study plan that included courses we were expected to take within a period of time... yep, we had deadlines to meet. Plus, we still had ...

EXPOSURE CHANGES EXPECTATIONS

There are many things I've come to realize during the first half of this year, and I understand them much better because I've experienced them firsthand during my Students Industrial Work Experience Scheme (SIWES). I remember there were many things that seemed very difficult, or almost impossible, when I was younger. Even from last year until now, my mindset has changed significantly. Not because those things have suddenly become easy, but because I'm currently in an environment where I see people strive for difficult things and eventually achieve them. They desire something, and they intentionally work towards it. I've heard some ladies say they wouldn't marry someone who lives in the same environment they grew up in because they don't want to raise their children there. While there are exceptions, I now understand the principle behind that mindset. Your environment influences your thinking, your expectations, and even what you believe is possible. I'm grat...

THE SILENT COST OF ASSUMPTIONS

After my first SIWES presentation, I learnt a vital lesson: confirmation gives better confidence than standing to defend what you only assume. So here’s the tea. Two weeks before the SIWES interns had their presentations, we were given the opportunity to watch two NYSC interns present. It was beautiful and impactful. After the presentation, I requested the document format from my supervisor, and he sent it to me. About a week before our own presentation, the HR in charge of training sent a document format for us to use as a guideline. The format was completely different from what my supervisor had sent, but I brushed it aside. I mean… it didn’t look like what the corps members used for their presentation. The day of the presentation came, and I used the format my supervisor sent. I wasn’t the only one who made this mistake. Others also used the same format because it looked similar to what we had seen earlier. Midway into my presentation, the company manager asked, “Is this the format ...
