THE LEARNING HUB: Life happens.

Life happens.
And it happens fast.
Life happens over years and at times it happens within a split second.
Life hits harder than anyone can.

It hits so hard that your lungs cry out for air, making you realize how precious Life is.
Yet Life is so tender.
It leaves you speechless.
It has you yearning for more. More tenderness. More love. More of the good.

Our moments that make up Life colour us.
It colours us with joy. Happiness.
Some moments in life leave you breathless..
Some moments change you.

Moments are like windows we look through.
Some frozen, some clear, some half open.

There are many things in my life that I wish I could take back.
Many moments I would recast.
But I know it will then change my life forever. The direction. The purpose. The now.

Life is all about moments. Not days. Not weeks. Not years. Don’t wait for them, create them.

We have moments of truth when we are tested, decisions that have to be made, or even a crisis that has to be faced.

Some moments shine like precious diamonds.
And then there are those moments when the world moves so slowly you can feel your bones shifting, your mind tumbling..

And you catch yourself savoring the moments. In the end, they are the only things we'll have.

We never can just stop time. Or Life. Or take moments back.
But that’s the trouble with moments—they end.
And that’s the trouble with Life – it ends.

It is man's intelligence that makes him so often behave more stupidly than the beasts. Man is impelled to invent theories to account for what happens in the world. Unfortunately, he is not quite intelligent enough, in most cases, to find correct explanations. So that when he acts on his theories, he behaves very often like a lunatic. Thus, no animal is clever enough, when there is a drought, to imagine that the rain is being withheld by evil spirits, or as punishment for its transgressions. Therefore you never see animals going through the absurd and often horrible fooleries of magic and religion. No horse, for example would kill one of its foals to make the wind change direction. Dogs do not ritually urinate in the hope of persuading heaven to do the same and send down rain. Asses do not bray a liturgy to cloudless skies. Nor do cats attempt, by abstinence from cat's meat, to wheedle the feline spirits into benevolence. Only man behaves with such gratuitous folly. It is the pr...

THE LEARNING HUB: To laugh is to risk appearing a fool,

To laugh is to risk appearing a fool, To weep is to risk appearing sentimental. To reach out to another is to risk involvement, To expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self. To place your ideas and dreams before a crowd is to risk their loss. To love is to risk not being loved in return, To live is to risk dying, To hope is to risk despair, To try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid suffering and sorrow, But he cannot learn, feel, change, grow or live. Chained by his servitude he is a slave who has forfeited all freedom. Only a person who risks is free. ~Leo Buscaglia (Art: Photograph by Izis Bidermanas) ©THE LEARNING HUB 2023

THE LEARNING HUB: ADVICE TO ALL EMPLOYEES

1. Build a home earlier. Be it rural home or urban home. Building a house at 50 is not an achievement. Don't get used to government houses. This comfort is so dangerous. Let all your family have good time in your house. 2. Go home. Don't stick at work all the year. You are not the pillar of your department. If you drop dead today, you will be replaced immediately and operations will continue. Make your family a priority. 3. Don't chase promotions. Master your skills and be excellent at what you do. If they want to promote you, that's fine if they don't, stay positive to your personal development. 4. Avoid office or work gossip. Avoid things that tarnish your name or reputation. Don't join the bandwagon that backbites your bosses and colleagues. Stay away from negative gatherings that have only people as their agenda. 5. Don't ever compete with your bosses. You will burn your fingers. Don't compete with your colleagues, you will fry your brain. 6. Ensure ...
