Play less, disrupt more... the future won't be as patient as the past.

I was reading an article about nothing and suddenly realized that we will never be lucky to get away with foolishness tomorrow like we have done in the past. The future is going to be more intolerable of the foolishness of the past and present, because the future is going somewhere.

Let take a walk to the past. -Post offices and P.O Boxes.image.png

Before the now that we have come to know, it was impossible to recall a mail once sent. We used to send letters through the post offices and then wait for couple of days for the recipients to receive it. Sometimes, we then have to wait sometimes up to 14 days to get a response depends on the location, efficiency of the postal service etc.

I loved that we had to spend so much of time and care writing those letters then, proof reading was an art then and not now when we are mostly in a hurry hit the send button. I remember the first love letter I wrote to a girl. I had to make sure I read and read and read until I was sure the letters all made sense and there would be so much passion and love oozing out of the letter to my girl.


You see, the idea that there will be a time when we will return to the past and experience things the way they were is not a healthy one and will never see the light of day. We are moving in phases into well thought out stages of innovations that is making the world become so close that you can practically touch someone 1000miles away.

The innovations we are currently experiencing are those of the fast lane and the speed at which these all are happening just goes to tell that, the future will not be as patient as the past or present.
We are constantly experiencing institutionalized institutions becoming more and more open to change and innovations for the good of humanity and also for the bad.
In those days of Post Offices and mail boxes, we were not concerned about the possibility that something big or better may come to disrupt the space, we were just interested in getting the government to continually provide means for us to have our letters, packages/parcels sent faster and more securely. It was the best we had and we were internally grateful.

The word disrupt was a bad thing then, because it meant, you are trying to disrupt an already existing system that worked; and that was offensive and punishable under the laws of the land.
But today, "Disrupt" is a word well used and highly favored in every sector of the economy.
Before it was wrong, but now, disrupt is the mainstay of the economy when it comes to productivity and results.


I Feel Blessed!


The Blockchain is disrupting the internet of things as Emails, SMS, Whatsapp etc have disrupted the Postal services. I never have to buy stamps and envelopes to be able to send a message to someone even in outer space. We just type, push the send button and its done!


Lets wake up to the new reality that is the "decentralized world." Many new stuffs are being birthed and more are being created in the backgrounds with a strategic plan to take over the already existing ones.
Innovation is prime to the shaping of the world and as we wake up daily to the bake off of stuffs all new, we must be aware that the future gets less patient as the days roll by. Nothing seems the same after the first glance.

We miss colors every time we look too long at a stuff for longer than necessary, as with everything good and bad, the more we linger with it, the more it becomes our focus or not.

Before now, we always have to wait when we send our letters and then to receive our responses, we go back to the same postal agencies or we wait for the mail man to come deliver the letters to us. We are well in tune with the times and coordinated way back then.
We know when it will arrive and how best to guess if our recipients have received our letters.
It was a thing with us and as the mail man goes through the neighborhood, we are mostly sure, he has a mail just for us.


Today, the future is not that patient. We send our messages and in less than 1 minute, we can get a response . In that manner, you should be able to make well founding decisions on what you want and how best you want the results to be.

Procrastination will always get you, but make sure to not lead it into the arsenal of your plan.
Make hay while the sun yet shines because, after the sun, comes the rain and if you leave it out too long, you will start all over again.


Make the world a better place for someone today!

Technology like the blockchain technology is now transforming how things are and will be done in the future. Its disruption on the system means that things will just get easy for people to do things online.

Tech is golden and all the more fantastic is the Blockchain. Everything now is disruptive by nature and soon enough, innovative disruptions will peak!
Stay awesome.

evolution cause this problem.....I guess :)....or human being is already a big problem???

Thank @ejemai for the charge:

play less, disrupt the more...

Its indeed time for work.

To make it count, we must make work happen and there is no better time than now.
Stay awesome!

It is the complete truth and i sometimes find myself amazed at how fast things are going. Not long ago,people had to line up to buy sim cards and now, one can get it within minutes for way cheaper the previous price. Procrastination as you said will always set in but we have got to find a way to shut it up before it makes us loose our golden ticket.

Thanks for the sim card era reminder. As with innovations, early adopters pay the prize and then it gets easier and sweet.
We have to use our golden tickets no doubt.
Stay awesome!

Hmm, this is a great awareness to the future so that we won't be caught unaware. If our present world is as this fast, I wonder how the future would look like.
Well, it is not about one crossing legs and be watching, it is about preparing for it.

I'm happy to have experienced the time of letter writing too, I made lots of money writing love letters for my friends back then in secondary school. It seems I was called to do that then.... Smile

You did that? Damn, this world is just so small and events alike. Had me a friend who majored in those stuffs and all the more funny is that it's a she...lol.
Those days are classic and just thinking about it makes my day.
Stay awesome!

A she? It sound weird...Smile
Thanks sir, you too

that's the dilemma....we are changing the world or the world is changing us?

It is both ways, we put out the signals and the world reciprocates by being in tune.
Stay awesome!

that's should the way :)

Sir @ejemai that technology for us the world era is moving faster and more techs are been made daily

Tech is how the world will be interacted with. New and better days ahead and the curve keeps falling in good shape.
Stay awesome!

No doubts, technology has played a vital role in this generation and probably in the next generation to come.
