I do not
grow by watching time pass while being idle. Once that whistle goes off, the
match isn’t just about the 90 minutes anymore but much more about the number of
goals first and the quality of showmanship the inadequate 90 minutes can
convey.
I do not
grow by chewing on my biro in that exam hall and then expect to see an A+ on the
result sheets, because to start with, the lecturer has to first read my script (and
not a blank page) to know whether I deserve a pass or a fail.
I definitely
did not learn how to drive by what I have heard nor read about driving or by
being locked away by my own self-afflicted fear of the will-i-crash syndrome, I simply got behind the wheels.
Or which one
of us think we would have been here to read this, all grown up and normal
(hopefully) if our parents just sat staring at us without feeding or nurturing
us, saying, 'My child would soon be 1, chai! He will be ALL GROWN up'.
STIR...
Is it the
time that is responsible for the growth or what we consciously fill the time
with? Whether or not you fill it up with something, time remains time and
growth is not more of a custodian than a revealer.
Without
actually getting in the game for the goals, filling the paper with words and
getting behind the wheels; how would we ever know if you could score the goals,
wow the examiner and really drive a car.
“Growth is
the PROCESS of increasing, advancing, mastering or simply adding up to one's
self, character, skill etc. It is most times an offspring of acting upon the
existing”.

Stop
thinking about growing. START THE PROCESS!
