The end of a year brings to our attention the year’s successes and failures. We look at how well we did and also what went wrong, which ultimately led to ‘failure’. With this in mind we face a new year that requires us to set new goals and targets which will basically determine how we utilize our time for that particular year. All these goals require time and having a true understanding of the definition of time can bring about a couple of changes in our lives and offer so much more for our productivity.
Time is defined as the progression of events from the past to the present into the future. Basically, if a system is unchanging, it is timeless. This tells us that the existence of a particular event brings about a definition of time. The rising of the sun allows us to define that event as morning and the opposite event where the sun sets is called evening. Time revolves around events and as long as something is happening time exists, it’s only the definition of it that changes based on the particular event occurring. The events that took place in 2019 will define it. As we reflect on it in the next ten years to come we will consider it as the year we lost icons like Oliver Mtukudzi a Zimbabwean music legend, the controversial Pan African leader Robert G. Mugabe and the hilarious comedian John Witherspoon. It also comes down as the year the American House of Representatives approved President Donald Trump’s articles of impeachment on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress. These events amongst other series of incidents and the emergence of Deep Insight Magazine all define 2019.
2020 offers us endless opportunities to put a mark on it. It presents an opportunity to have each and every one of us define it. All it takes to be productive and effect a change is making a decision to reach out from what you possess and impact your world with it. The most successful people in the world all made it by making a decision to change what was within their reach and ultimately they became very important to the world. Before the year 2004 Facebook was non-existent, Mark Zuckerberg and his team made a decision to utilize their own portion of time to create Facebook which has become a part of the social fabric for over 15 years. They created an event that has attracted many people and we can all do the same.
There is still a lot we can achieve with the remaining months in 2020. Let us all define the year with the events that we are going to create. It all starts with how we spend the day which will ultimately lead to how we spend the week, the month and finally the entire year. If we are to sleep throughout the day, such events will fall into our portfolio thus we ought to make a decision to be productive and create events that we can relate to by the end of this decade.
