Self-Ideal

Welcome.
It is how valuable and lovable you are in your thinking. It is your thought or idea of the type of person you need to be to win the love and respect of the people you care about. Since humans are attracted to others who have similar lifestyle like themselves, you tend to crave for qualities in the life of those you respect and love. Therefore the combination of these qualities and attributes in these lifes (living or dead) is known as self-ideal. The more explicit (and clear) you are about the person you want to be, the easier it is to set goals and plans to become such an individual and the more likely you evolve day after day into that person. Unsuccessful people have fussy self-ideal(s). The organisation's self-ideal is similar to the individuals and constitute these elements: vision, mission, values, ethics, etc.
Self-ideal helps in providing guidiance and inspiration to all individual who possess them. 
Nuggets for developing crystal clear self-ideal:
1) If you have all the money in the world, what will you like to have or become?
2) If you will live for eternity, what will you like to have, or become?
3) List out people who already possess what you want to have or become,
4) Write down what they do and what they will never do or analyse their lifestyle;
5) Since you will not live for eternity or have all the money in the world, then use the outcome you generated in (4) above as your work model;
6) Read biographies and autobiographies. Although most of these books are edited, they will still do a good job in listing good habits and lifestyle of dead heroes;
7) I think you should not read anything tragedy. This is because one of the holy books say: --- as a man thinketh in his mind, so is he.
Till next time when we shall be reading a new episode, don't forget to always strive to become the best version of yourself.
Thank you.

Eye sight.

There are five senses in a man namely: touch, smell, hearing, taste and sight. Each of these senses are carried out by an organ or group of organs in the body. For the sense of sight, it is predominantly the eyes and the brain which interprets what is seen that are involved. Some problem associated with the sense of sights are often associated with the eyes. Some of these health challenges are terminal or permanent and cannot be corrected while science and technology has provided solution to others which are not terminal. Examples of non-terminal, physical eye weakness are: (1) nearsightedness, (2) longsightedness. A nearsighted person can only see close objects but not far or distant objects while a long sighted individual can only see distant images or objects.  According to Helen Keller, she said: awful and to be pitied is the man who have a good sight but the mind that cannot see. It follows that there are men who can be categorized as nearsighted minds and those categorized as...
