Breakthrough

Looking back at my life/trail, what breakthrough contributions have I made to society? Is being a leader in my company or in my religious or adequate? The web defines breakthrough as follows. So the question is – have I contributed a breakthrough act/event?


Breakthrough. 1. an offensive thrust that penetrates and carries beyond a defensive line in warfare.2. an act or instance of breaking through an obstacle breakthrough agreement. 3. a sudden advance especially in knowledge or techniquebreakthrough. 4. a person’s first notable success.



I remember the poem:

I am only one, but still I am one.

I cannot do everything, but still I can do something;

and because I cannot do everything,

I will not refuse to do something that I can do.



Tools for my Journey – HALFTIME



I am still clueless where I got this urge and bug for reading.
Maybe from my parents, who are both professionals in their own craft. Maybe from the lack of reading material when I was growing up. Inside of my heart and head, I simply could not recall the time this passion kicked in.
But, look at the books, journals that I have amassed so far in my 37 years of existence.
The questions are:
1. Have I become a better servant of a living God?
2. Have i contributed to society?
3. Have I made the lives of those around me better?
4. Have I become a good role model for my kids?
5. Have I become a better man?
6. Have I achieved what I dreamt of as a kid?
I dont know. I am still midway in my life. Like in any sporting event, there is a halftime huddle where the coach and the players re-examine their game strategy, the opponents, the adjustments to be made in order to win the battle.
Maybe its time for me to do the same? Thoughts!
