The Time That Never Was

Whenever you hear people talking about how they achieved some success in work or life, you will chance upon the phrase “the timing was just right".

I am a big believer in being prepared for an opportunity but then again you wonder what if you miss the timing and what if timing has nothing to do with any of these…before you roast me…heat me out.

  • Time is something no one controls…when people claim they manage their time..it is a fallacy cos all they are really doing is managing their actions and in effect optimizing the use of their time
  • The determination of a time being right is only seen after the fact..eg. Before the advent of social media and the takeover by Facebook..everyone thought Hi5 and Myspace were the game changers and prime for an opportunity…but now thinking back was the timing right for them?
  • Finally in the game of life….love and work…which one comes first and how do you time it right to get the right results? Is it possible at all to do this?

I guess all I am trying to establish is that there is a right timing…and there is a wrong timing…neither can be determined by you and I until we get to that point….all we can really do is play our part in this puzzle till we unlock the right time.

    I am a lot things but none of them has anything to do with music 😊 ; Entrepreneurship is my Achilles heel, I see a problem, I look for a solution.
