– Even success in business needs faith

Leave a reply

We just have to accept that the proliferation of charlatans masquerading as spiritual leaders has caused many to loathe any discussion with a tinge of spirituality, as a reference for receiving wisdom to ensure success in one’s professional and business lives.

“One swallow does not a summer make.” In world with millions doing well, being good world citizens and caring for others, we cannot taint the entire body of useful spiritual knowledge in business because of the abhorrent actions of a fast growing “rotten” sample.

Nevertheless, it sounds obvious but not entirely so, that it is impossible to be successful in anything without faith. You cannot pursue anything successfully if you do not believe such action will result in you achieving a favourable outcome. Whether the outcome ultimately becomes a success or failure is not the point, suffice it to say your actions are informed by your beliefs.

For now, it does not matter who you believe or believe in. What matters more is what you believe. Our plans, strategies and actions are premised on expectations of a good outcome. In fact, it is impossible to live without expectation of good outcome in the future. I wish many aspirant business owners could remember this fact always the next time they feel tempted to give up on their businesses. By Nimroth Gwetsa, 30 October 2018. Continue reading →

If indeed “life begins at forty”, how do we describe events of the preceding period?

I like working with people of all age groups: young and old. Each group has unique qualities and shortcomings. Accepting that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks”, I am compelled to turn my attention to the supposedly teachable, yet ignorant younglings unwilling to learn those new tricks.

Life can be cruel sometimes: to older people, it has given them the benefit of hindsight. But such wisdom is limited by their physical strength preventing them from correcting lifelong mistakes made; to youngsters it has given them good, strong and healthy bodies, but also the illusion of a sense of invincibility and know-it-all. The illusion remains for many a youth that living without a plan is more rewarding.

Such contradiction is there by design and is meant to ensure there is continuous dialogue and dependence among the different age groups. We’d be foolish to ignore our diverse inherent strengths and benefits of collaboration.

This article is my contribution to helping the youth improve their investment in their future. By Nimroth Gwetsa, 20 August 2015. Continue reading →
