Have you ever used a soldering iron before? Engineers? If you haven't, have you seen one being used? For some people, me included, this is as normal as breathing. One natural ish like that. No matter which group you belong in, keep enjoying. I must warn you, though. This topic is wide and powerful, and I could only say part of it here.

No matter how hard I tried to shake it off, it kept coming back at me. I've had this topic in mind for a long time, yes. And of course, I would have written about it one day. However, Today wasn't supposed to be that day. A part of me was chanting no. But one part kept whispering Yes.

Heck, who follows no, anyway. If it's yes, then yes it is!
The case-study here would be a brand new Soldering Iron. An old soldering iron with a new soldering element (which is its intestine, so to speak) would work too.

When a new soldering iron (or the old one with new element) is first connected to a source of power, The resulting heat generates a lot of fumes. More fumes at first than the heat it generates.

Let me explain that simply: Before the soldering iron gets hot enough, it produces so much smoke than the heat could justify. If you do not know the rules, or if you are impatient, you would get frustrated and conclude it couldn't get hot.

Afterall, why all this smoke when the darn thing ain't even hot enough. This is the truth: By the time the soldering iron gets hot enough, you wouldn't be seeing the smoke anymore. It's gone. The fume. The smoke. All gone, leaving just the heat.

The heat, which is the destiny and glory of the soldering iron. The whole fume is just a phase, before the glory. And no matter what, it could not escape this phase. For the fume must come before the heat.

YOU have to pass through some situations before getting to your goal. I believe the message is clear. Now is your fume, be it in your career or your relationship. Tomorrow your heat is coming. And you shall achieve your goal. Can you say Amen to that?

WHAT TO DO?
*Stay Focused
*Be Persistent
*Be Prayerful
*Be Positive
*Be Appreciative

And You are good to go!

Tell me, what fume are you facing now? And how are you transcending this into your heat? Let your voice be heard!

Over the Decades, I've witnessed many Governments pass. I've felt the influence of each, in one way or the other. It so turns out that I'm not the only one. Everyone around me talks of this 'time' or that 'regime.' We attribute themes to each Government. Praising some, Blaming others. I know you do too.
I have my own opinion of this whole thing. I'm going to table it here. Let's go over it. Maybe I could convince you. If not, please convince me then. Here we go:

Dear Friend,
Yesterday was really so full of a lot of inner discussions for me. Ideas popping up, Strategies getting laid, Blood flowing out. Yes, literally. Instinct has been very high lately. Whatever drug it's taking, it sure is working.
Following the Instinct, could be interpreted in many ways. And yeah, among them are the extremes.(Remember how I advise against this?) One of the extremes is being animalistic. That is, following every physical or natural drive without any form of restraint or thinking through. (Calculated Risk sheds more light on this.)

"I had a choice. I would not be deceived to believe I do not. This is the opportunity I've been waiting for. For years have I dreamt of this day, hoping, praying it would come. Now, it's here, but not as I saw it. Nobody told me there are risks. High risks. I didn't think. Now I see, when I'm already neck deep in the black pool!"

I just arrived from a travel couple of hours ago. There was this lady
I saw passing by. On a normal day, I wouldn't have been so interested.
But something caught my attention, and made me freeze on the spot:
