[Thick veil of wealth privilege]

"Where there's plenty of it, trouble knows no path" an old aspirant coal miner once told a packed hall. It left murmurs in the hall with none clued up about his statement. Years later I stumbled upon him and he couldn't even recall the occasion but did laugh when I uttered the statement to ask what he meant, and it was simple. Where there's enough or too much supply of anything, none will fight as every next other has it.

I heard him but had this to say to him: "what we both can safely agree on is that people with money always fight to have from others what they have for their more, with them there's a path of trouble with which they manage to always get away with" and we both laughed before he left me with this: "thick veil of wealth privilege" and left it at that. Those words screamed truth of the reality that faces us head on. Trust me, this doesn't affect us same given the 2 sides of the fence we stand from. The pain of first hand experience of wealth privilege is matched to no other. They say who feels it knows it, and it's true. It's a good feeling to be wealthy and all of us aspire for that though not ready for life accepted for joy where we are.

What that veil does is shield those moneyed from facing repercussions of their wrong deeds, affords them better opportunities, gives them life joyments not known by all, and also setting classes of standards for people. Not being wealthy is okay I've come full circle to that, but just that pressures of own from external factors makes it hard to settle in that acceptance. "Wealth distorts the distillery of moral afinery" [1] they say, if you let it.

In conclusion: it leaves one accented in bitterness heritage given how easy it is to forgive the wealthy, how good it feels to protect the rot of the wealthy, how rewarding it is to be loyal to the wealthy, whilst shaming and lame to do same for the poor. The legacy of all this a build up to the decay of societal morality. The picture it paints not a beautiful future investable in. Our young are literally exposed to the exact opposite of right we want for their take up. How cool it is to wrong and pay to be right, how cool it is to buy love and respect, and how ill it is to be poor and honest are some of the depictions that media condition the publics with.

So damn sad how in my youth I used to sing along to lyrics that carried codes of ruin in the guise of cred like CREAM for cash rule everything around me, life eazy wen u rich, and many other lines of sort that saw some venture into crime, wantonry and other immoral behaviors all in try to portray the fake essay life of the wealthy because of their untouchable nature. Looking now at what the veil did to my generation, a sad state as nothing can erase all that damage yet only the wealthy can afford to buy a fresh start. I do acknowledge the invisibility of the wealth privilege to some but time do come for everyone outside of its actuality to feel it for their seeing coz it's a reality of long that's been cleverly concealed for obvious spotting. For the exposed I say good for you because being there is a win. Poor child, never forget to live in constant realization of where society puts you in class as that's how you'll be treated no matter who you want to be or where you want to go, it's hard to cut into that veil for it's meant to keep the status quo as is for long as possible...dp

[Live your truth]

'Truth a fantasy that reality at times can't withstand'[1]. 'The challenge with life is living it as you, but the problem with living is in how we choose to be known' [2]. If we could learn to talk into existence what is honestly our reflection, then we won't be less comfortable with the idea of being ourselves. Many of us are in traps of scrutiny because of our chosen ways into how we express our beings to others in our journey's dailies during all countless encounters we trip in recurrently.

Is it dangerous or is it safe to live in your reality? Chances are yes it may be for some yet not be for others, and but, what matters is that there's always a yes to a no in this or that in our paths. To someone, truth in their reality a constant myth that is worth a sweep like dust in the wind while for another an existent wrong they need to correct for the shape of their wish. Failing to acknowledge the standpoint of your situation is a circumstancial plague that's to bit by bit consume your life. It all boils down to the choices we make in respect of our truths to reality.

It's sometimes also about how we love ourselves. Being honest to self about self issues is self care. Sad to be witnessing others pinning stripes onto their plain hides and believing they'll stick after a dip. If we begin to love our situations more than the romantic mental picture sold of you to can become whatever you put your mind to, many wouldn't have settled in unhealthy circumstances. Be free and happy sharing that which is of you and work on bettering it.

Just know that it's cool to downgrade so you can later upgrade. Be smart about your faults and missteps for they offer you a chance to start over and better. The reason you aren't doing well must be your high expectations out of no ration. Feel pain for yourself for none'll ever do. Know your situation, embrace your background, love your life, and hug your truth for real. 

In conclusion: being them will never make you, being you without being too much of yourself will bring you plenty of peace, no manifestation of a dream ever pursued a wrong take for aspirations, so, be who you are and work on the breakthrough of what you are to become. Be not ashamed in fighting the truth of others imposed on you if it in future pose a harm on your person as you never know what the intent of that innocent malice may be aimed at. Live your truth to the fullest, but do it in response to your reality...dp

[Be associable]

The neutrality stance in truth an old new game that has been played for long and having stood the test of time, and that but still a trick found in the world of the young today. To how things change, true the same way they stay, to those long been there in it. Being paused in state a new winner stunt that's deployed in biznes and politics these days, to frustrate the staunch oppo affiliates and loyalists, but how effective it is still a quotient clave to slot wisdom in.

And, with weakness and risk of loss associated with choosing sides or allegiance, neutrality stance remains to date the power position for some. It works not in all cases, but a safe position to take at times. Get it not wrong though, you at the end will be forced to make a choice on which side you are. You can't stay on the touch line forever, but have the weight than those who chose earlier in. Being a kingmaker is basically about that if well calculated. It often scream indicisive if kept position for too long, so, avoid that.

Nothing is as attractive as a person who wields their draw card but not revealing their number. You can't say anything interesting when already your side of the coin is open flipped. You can be listened to only if you're on the side that's dominant. In corporatolics it's tough, you can't afford to be seen as a wimp. You constantly get faced up with choice making decisions and you have to do so firmly, but then, how you protect your decisions up to you as one thing for sure is you have to.

In conclusion: is it important to stay neutral? Is it possible to stay neutral and powerful? If the answer to both is yes, then might as well be. What I can safely say is that apply timing in how you play your cards coz levels of the game differ, and tactics aren't going to apply same. It's not a true affirmation that some have it all in one basket and figured it out. There is no one-size-fits-all approach. Life has its way of making you win and lose, but in the end lessons out are worthwhile. In short, have a reason for your stance instead of doing it just becoz someone did it. Be careful with your choices. It may yes be cool being mysterious but not so cool when sidelined for not being able to be associable...dp

[Sometimes be a realist]

The most realistic draw out lesson out of the world of biznes is that it's a game of authority, influence and power, and if you aren't successful in getting that, are in for a hell of a shock ride to losshood. A powerful biznes coach not so long ago told me that biznes is a scam that depends on which side of the game planners' agenda you're on, on which day did you get in, by whom you are introduced into it and lastly, in it as what. Said success in today's biznes is about your association to some insider's name and face, hard work to create luck, and ability to be resourceful. It stuck with me for the most part of this year, and in all essence found it to be so true. If you take care to notice, you'll see.

In biznes there're market makers, opportunity creators and controllers of rewards and gains, a collage of bricoleurs whom are The Original Capitalists or TOCs. TOCs are the world order regulators. Whom they are remains to date a spirited date with speculation. So, for most of us, we are in the lowest tier of economy control, and cannot be reached for comment on TOCs and as such will focus on our shoe sizes which are the reality of our lives. Much as it's now gotten to realization that biznes is a scam, what we ought to do is seek ways on how to suit the design of the plan coz it's no secret that all we do today is fight to be a fit in the plan of the world order.

What to do in order to get success out of the effort you're busy with is rescam others. If you aren't ready to get into the office through its door, be ready to be its painter. Each step of your way to success you're faced with gatekeepers whom you have to con so as to get to the door keepers, elevators and masters. You can't play the same trick twice, so, one of the skills to success that you need to master is acting. Putting on the mask for each character is of utmost importance and once passed those can get access to your dream. Truth is, you'll never reach your peak sans a visit of influence into your path, it's real as that, water that.

The reality of barriers is thick, you may have those plans and strategies for your market entry but honestly are to face an uphill of red tape. To make it, you have to align with any player from inside, unless you want to remain a small player. Learn to be adaptive and your success will be guaranteed.

In conclusion: it doesn't matter where you are from, it's same story. Your only chance of getting in early is adherence to guidelines from the gatekeepers. If you be realistic about all those things you'll be on track to the desired outcome of your vision. Trust me, you may be seasoned in your own right but in the master's standards be not, so, be patient and bide your time...dp

[Asensual objectification]

"When I opened my eyes you were the first object I saw" and giggles roamed the room amok. This was said by a male friend and colleague of mine to a jolly fellow female colleague. The statement on its own, however innocent as it may have been uttered, is wrong. You can't say such a thing to another person, especially in this day in that we are puffing sensibility on and off set in terms of addressing sexualism, ease of workspace sharing and sexual harassment.

Objectifying another sole is wrong, and bad is when it comes from the other border of gender. How we see each other and say it out is crucial, it sifts the truest of us as persons before being colleagues that we are. According to a research that I recently read, the issue of ease of workspace sharing doesn't get intensely interrogated as it must be, and surprisingly a fertile feedlot of employee challenges.

Normally we can't do without using the common space provided if we are to carry out work. But, how we relate to one another determines the outcomes of the business being productive or not. If one feels bad about another, it affects the entire TEAM performance, and that alone a scary thought. Ask any colleague what they see first in looking at the other gender and at their same and you'll be amazed by what you're to hear. There're lots of challenges to uncover that're mated to the common space that work is carried out from.

A lot of industrial psychologists and HR personnel will alert you to a host of underlying issues that haunts the workplaces. At most it's the senior colleagues. Those entrusted with the task of overseer are the horn beepers in treating subordinates as their special projects. The issue of asensual objectification might sound innocent but brews into something else if not nipped from the onset as it tends to morph, and once allowed, it won't be easy to stop its snowball form fall from the anchoring towers.

The minute a colleague sees another as an object, it means they are well on their way to knocking for more if allowed. Calling another as an object shouldn't be promoted at all no matter its justification. If poorly handled, those that are resisting advances or hit ups might endure victimization. Abuse of rank is the most troubling aspect in lead of workspace tendency that many subordinates suffer.

In conclusion: any subordinate needs protection from such occurrences as they breed uncalled for eventualities of regret. A woman is a person who like you came to work, a man is also a person who came for their sole productive purpose, and should be viewed and treated alike. You the high ranker, some of your social tendencies might come across as unprofessional, so, do the better you for harmony to prevail in the place of work. Make people enjoy working with you...dp

[Lead with fun]

All work and no play makes for poor job outcomes and any leader should be knowing that. Depending solely on the type of leader you are, will your team results show; not the job type, not the industry nor definitely not the geo-positioning factor. What any leader should bear in mind is that there's a need for a couple of light moments in the place of work. Nobody has ever delivered good group results constantly sans having a bit of fun now and then. And also, every person wants a leader that is humanly like them.

Winning is a full time decider and losing is an all time reminder that a TEAM needs to perform so as to deliver at all costs. But, for a TEAM to perform optimally they need not only have trade tools, support and a conducive space to ply their trades from, but peaking the list is the best leader to work with. And but then, what defines the best leader? Sadly, can't self pinpoint all the dots to connect to that answer for accuracy, except for the fact that as a leader one must be relations centric, and I remain open to any's direction per that.

Leadership relies on people skills and life experiences before anything work related. To be respected as a person who leads you ought to be respectful and responsible to your respect, be it given or received. Thing is, a leader is first and foremost a person who works with other people, diligently managing their talents, challenges, flaws, expectations, and their beings with a holistic view of what they are afore whom they are. With thusly fronted, surfaces a board of questions to ask. Are you doing that in line with the corporate vision or yours? Are you applying guidelines by the company policy or of your own principles? Where do you draw the line on your reasonability and mannerability? Mind your important self that you are at work, no matter your position occupancy, as long as you are a leader you have to just tow the line.

A good leader, I figured; is a friend, a confidant, a representative, a role model and a figure of authority, an omnia paratus sole with no limit to placement. And, as one, you should regularly schedule self inspections on how you fare against the backdrop of the results you keep producing. Provision of fun is one of the prime outcomes laced factors that is repeatedly a wretched thoughtmanship by choice. You lead people not positions, and those people need breaks from the seriousness of the course worked on. Provide activities that recondition their mindsets, rekindle their love for their work, so as to shift how they connect with their work for the best outcomes which will make you look good in your position.

In conclusion: you are the reflection of what you manage as a leader, and any good or bad an outcome a perception of how we view you in charge. A leader that laughs less is a leader in revenue loss, whilst a leader that excites turns out good margins. The secret to leadership is interpersonal skills, situational analyses, teamliness, a pleasanter of being had around. There's no use dealing with a grumpy bunch than leading a bubbly bunch. Work your person from your friendships to your partnerships. You win first through self before the nexts, so, have fun doing that and you'll see how fun it is to lead...dp

[Forgiveness]

Is forgiving good? Let's ask ourselves this frankly. Maybe after answering oneself you'll start questioning your head for its thoughts. Trust me, the amount of teachings we receive on this topic is alarming given the low teachings on how to hurt others and how to avenge selves. We are ever encouraged to respond more than we should react, yet come back still the ones pained, bitter and lost, all in the name of being good people in forgiving.

But, looking at it, one is never sure of which to be during the event of unfolding pain infliction at times, in that it's painful and shaming to be a good person in any given situation of torment than it is on the side of the tormentor. Truth be told, there's no permanent joy in good personing. Good people are viewed as stupid, weaklings, spineless cowards who're never to be trusted in solutions to aggression and its tensions. People tend to listen, admire and adorn the spirit of the ones vengent, than they would with the victim.

In business, none is respected if they aren't decisive, firm for their stance, bold in their statement of character and personality intent, deep in their knowledgeability, self-appointed and in control. So, this telling you that if there's forgiveness, it absolutely gets questioned whom it's from and who is it to, or where it's from and for what? Forgiveness is a dual neutral concept of weakness and benign hegemony. Whenever used, be sure if it's out of issuance or humane place, as it's always situational if you aren't aware.

One thing I love about life and find ever interesting sans tiring my soul, is the role of politics and business in situations. Forget about what those unexposed soles taught you about life, but forgiveness is a vagary just so you know since what comes after it an open cast occurrence. But then, it depends on how you administer your person.

In conclusion: if you comprehend the campaign concept that power is, it's obvious that you won't want to play from the linear side of forgiveness simply because of that. Forgiveness is power laced, and when you give it, should be able to administer it else you sell your bargaining power away. Know the significance of your forgiveness and you'll understand the importance of power. However you look at it, forgiveness is a good thing that only switch course upon situational awareness or not of it. It's an animal farm we're in...dp
