Living to remember… Remembering to Live
Live this present which was in the past the unknown future. Moreover, let this present be a good past in your future. I live my days from memories from the past, such memories that bring to me colors, smells, touches, etc. I also remember those memories to come back to life and continue my day!
Back in 2015, I was working aggressively to improve my self core values, such values were mainly coming from my eager to involve myself into a more professional environment surrounded by people with a higher caliber.
Surprisingly after submitting myself to several tests which were related to online courses I was engaging on that time, I got fascinating results about my personality which claimed that I had a score of 68/90 in leadership distributed as below:
My highest hit was on the reality part, this implied that I could foresee things and realize the impact of such things on the future. Focusing furthermore on the same characteristic (being real), I continued my path into the analysis of my personality, however this time I wanted to focus more on my strengths as a real leader, results were as below:
From the 5 Themes mentioned above, one was capturing most of my attention: Context.
Since I was a child I always used to relate present with past, I remember the comparison I used between WWII and the present. During WWII, the German tanks were one Third of the enemy’s tanks in quantity, however they were way more powerful on the field in a way that the quantification was irrelevant beside the destruction power the German tanks were capable of. This example is exactly matching the current status of the German cars while you compare them to their competition, in a usual day you might encounter 10% of the cars you see German made, however that small percentage is more powerful in technology and engineering than the rest of cars you witnessed during your day. This equation of quality Vs. quantity is held constant for over 80 years despite the comparison is happening on two different sectors (WWII: Military Vs. Actual: Civil).
By returning to the past, I was able to understand the relationship in quality vs. quantity of German technology. This is just an example of the several flashbacks I have daily in order to understand better how and why things are happening in the way the are. However, is this analysis of the past always a good deed? I went into a pro and con analysis of the Context theme. Below the results:
It is time to wrap up and get to understand that the best practices in life are those which are well balanced, extremism will always imply troubles. In my case it is not a good idea to be always context and is not a good idea to completely forget about it as well. Live your day as if it is the last, and never expect anything so you are never disappointed.
If you made it to this point, It should be clear why I say: “Living to remember… Remembering to Live”…
