Forward thinking...



Hello reader, are you stuck in the past? Now is the time to start thinking forwardly. Backward thinking is a no no. To be successful in business you have to be a forward thinker. According to the Cambridge dictionary it is the planning for the future and not just the present. After that being said, when you make a mistake in business, rather than getting stuck on it, pondering pondering and pondering over it again (backward thinking) why not see it has a learning opportunity (forward thinking). Look at the mistakes you made, think about the amendments that can be done to them and apply it to your new tasks. Learn from all experiences whether good or bad and keep applying what you have learnt to your new task.
Qualities of forward thinking

Planning 
Basically, in order to execute a business task efficiently and effectively you must first have a plan. Without a plan to help you set the steps you will be taking to achieve your goals, there will be a higher probability of failing the task. Managers who make long term plans are more successful in business than managers that do not make such plans. Long term plans must be broken into short term plans which will make your tasks easier for you to achieve. Business plans should be made for the present and the future.

Moving on
When a mistake occurs, you should not waste too much time thinking and talking about it, cause really it is a sunk cost, okay that is an accounting term but really all I am trying to say is that it has already happened so whether you talk and think about it continuously it won't change the mistake. The best action to take will be to look at what you did wrongly and learn from it so that you can apply it to your next task.

Blaming Others
A forward thinker accepts responsibility for his or her actions, when things do go right they do take credit for it definitely if they are responsible for it and when things do go wrong they also take responsibility for it rather than blaming others or a situation. 

Growth Mindset
A forward thinker has a growth mindset, you can either be part of the problem or be part of the solution. An individual with a growth mindset will always want to be part of the solution.

Evil: Lekki Central Mosque

Asalam alaykum There are mosques and there are evil places that call themselves mosques, Lekki central mosque is one of those places such an evil place. The so called chief imam Ridwan Jamiu is also fake. A mosque, they have two floors. I  thought women where suppose to be upstairs and men downstairs. Yet, he allowed women to be entering the part where men enter, seeing women and men walking and passing through the same door. Women praying downstairs with no division between men and women. When I asked him about it, he said it is allowed. How is that allowed. Islam does not encourage the mixing of different sexes. Where ablution is done in the female part is sometimes dirty, when you are suppose to do ablution in a clean place.The toilets there were dirty and they face the qibla. Toilets are not meant to face the qibla according to Islamic law. There is one toilet there that did not face the qibla. A pit latrine, which i find odd why would there be regular toilets and one pit latri...

Quran 3:56-59

Asalam alaykum "As for those who disbelieve, I will punish them with a severe punishment, in this world and the next, and they will have no helpers.   And as for those who believe and do good works, He will give them their rewards in full. God does not love the unjust.”  This is what We recite to you of the Verses and the Wise Reminder. The likeness of Jesus in God’s sight is that of Adam: He created him from dust, then said to him, “Be,” and he was." Quran 3:56-59 Ma salam.
