Have you ever noticed something? As time goes by there is always an increase in number. Not long ago was the eightys, the ninetys, and now we are presently in the millennia to be precise is 2017, just yesterday it was 2016. Now, the second thing worthy of observation is the fact that as years go by, there is always an improvement. Transportation evolved from foot to animals, from animals to simple vehicles like bicycles, from simple vehicles to advanced modern day high tech vehicles. Presently man can travel to the moon and back and improvements are still going on. This trend of improvement can be observed in almost every field be it engineering, health, or music etc. Now, this gets me thinking on how well as individuals are we improving. Yes, the human race has overtime improved a great deal but, this improvement came as a result of few individuals who improved on their person value. What am talking about is how well have you worked on yourself to be better? Remember that old adage that says "everyday brings you closer to your grave" am not a fan of that quote but it is the bitter truth. When your short time here is over, you will only be remembered by the impact you made, this impact is a result of you improving on you as time goes by. A man was asked when he clocked fifty, how he was going to live the rest of his life and this was what he said "I will take the experiences of my past fifty years on earth and apply them to the opportunities of my next fifty years". This literally swept me off my feet, the man just came up to the perfect formula on how to get better. This simply means you accessing your performance from the past, find out were you got it wrong, and come up with a way to improve on it. It also means an increase in numbers(in this case your age), should also result to you being better person. So, the you in 2017 should be better than the you in 2016 and the you in 2018 should be better than the you now. If you think it is not Paramount to improve on yourself let me ask you this simple question before I leave; if you were given an open slot to chose two phones lets say an iPhone 6 or an iPhone 7 to be precise which would you chose? Well, maybe you are not into phones, let me use a car instead; if you were given an open slot to chose a car of your choice the two options are a Range Rover Discovery 2016 model or a Range Rover Discovery 2017 model which would you chose? If you can't settle for less when it comes to an inanimate product, if these inanimate products get improved as the year goes by, then why would you chose to settle for less when it comes to you? Don't sell yourself short be all that you can be.
