The Persuit of Excellence

What I have realized is that when you chose not to push yourself to achieve something it's not that you're lazy but because you don't believe in yourself. You don't think you're capable, so why work hard if it won't pay off anyways. It's thoughts like these that make us to settle for mediocre/ less. We are cutting ourselves short of true potential.

I really started thinking about this last night when I acknowledged that I am not studying and finals are so close. There is absolutely no way I can get a GPA over 3.5 if I continue like this. Then I came to the conclusion that I don't want to be like the majority of university students who settle for a B or C average I want more than that I want an A. There's a saying aim for the stars and if you fall you'll reach the moon but I don't plan on falling I want to be among the stars. If that means going the extra mile, studying until I fall asleep, skipping some of my favourite pass time activities, I will not allow that stop me from reaching my maximum potential because at the end of it all I will be so happy and satisfied.


You can be the greatest at whatever you do. You don't have to be average. Whatever you do, do it to the best of your ability, anything worth doing is worth doing well.

Christianity and Social Networks

On social media, people generally tend to speak of Christianity in a negative light. I've seen persons, for example, a feminist on Twitter, attack Christianity for supporting unequal treatment of the sexes when that is not so. They use the Bible to try and prove their points when the truth is most of these persons when they read the Bible only pick out a few verses and call it a day. They do not study the word of God or go to Bible studies so they can understand God's word the way he intend it to be, neither do they pray for God's assistance in interpreting his word. And why should they? They are not Christians. These people want to disregard and ridicule the word of God and Christianity in general. They use the word of God as a means to an end, which is strengthening their points and invalidating Christianity. We live in a world where people find it easy to glorify sin. Everyone's talking about the music or books that encourages us to make money so we can 'stunt ...
