THE YOUNG SHALL GROW

Sounds like a cliché right? Yea. Things that are said more often or frequently lose their value or weight of impact on people. Since, I become more like a song to our ears, that ine of the reasons they are tagged "clichés". 

       Let’s see if you can remember when majority of your friends, contact or circle of influence were mostly (if not all) kids, then changed to Teens, then youths….then old ones. As time went on most became graduates, employees, employer, business owners, and then started getting married, building their own families.... bla bla bla. 

     So the transition was taking place gradually even as your age and years on earth increased. Soon most we will or become retirees, grandparents and all. Thanks to technology (Facebook, Instagram, twitter, Gmail…) for helping us to stay in touch globally irrespective of location or anywhere any of your friends choose to relocate to. Gone are the days you lose contacts and its lost forever.

      In essence, these people: friends, business partners, co-workers, collogues, classmate, neighbors and others are your CONNECTION. Whether built consciously or not, at one point or another, you will discover it. Sooner or later, they become your world! (sphere of contact)

        Another factor that sets in gradually is RESPONSIBILITIES (like it or not). There was a time all you could see or want, is to be the best in your education, have dream (wishes), fun, play with peer group and all. Again, with time, responsibilities were added unto you: you became accountable and responsible for every decision you make, will make or made in the past.

       No doubt, you probably know that its not all about age number or physical structure. It’s that growing part that seems not to be visible to the optical eyes. At one stage, someone cared more about you, but at the end, you care about more people without literarily saying out. 

There is a powerful quote I love, it says:

“When I was a child, I spoke as a child,
I understood as a child,
I thought as a child:
But when I became a man, I put away childish things.”

Smile, its from the Bible!

      While growing up, our thought pattern changed from being childish to mature ones. Most children speak their mind freely without first thinking about it's implication, but for an adult, the case is reverse; you think, and then speak (because consequences and responsibilities are attached too). 

        Going on with the transition (change) list is endless: what you like to gist about, chat about, discuss with different people all change over time. But as we grow, let's learn to build relationship or interaction with people. Learn about things that are relevant to our stage or level of responsibility and build the future together. 

We all need to grow!!! Its not only by age, it should be all-round. No aspect is left untouched.
