Trust Objective Thinking For Positive Outcomes

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga

Choosing objectivity over subjectivity can be a game-changer in achieving success. By focusing on objective goals and being stubborn about specifics, individuals can bring their vision to reality.

The Limitations of Subjective Perceptions

Subjective perceptions can be limiting and influenced by individual experiences, biases, and fears. Allowing perceptions to guide decision-making can hinder success chances.

The Benefits of Objective Goals

Objective goals offer numerous benefits, including:

- Specificity: Clearly defined goals that are easy to understand. You gather up information and set out means of achieving your chosen specific goals. It is a deliberate process that you freely undertake obstacles to reach an aim.

- Measurability: Quantifiable goals that allow for progress tracking. Effort put can be measured, say an athlete would like to run a 100m race and outpace competitors. The practice leading to the race can guide if he is good enough to beat set records and outpace competitors he is aware are as fast. By timing his attempts during practice, he is able to quantify and trace.

- Achievability: Realistic goals that are attainable based on available resources. It is something that you can actually see shaping up without any word assurances.

The Role of Willpower and Passion

Objective goals can ignite willpower and passion, driving individuals to take action and make their vision a reality. Unlike subjective perceptions, objective goals demand action and progress.

Overcoming the Limitations of Subjective Perceptions

To overcome the limitations of subjective perceptions, individuals can:

- Seek diverse perspectives: Engage with others to gain new insights and challenge existing perceptions. One major weakness of perspectives is that of unresearched thesis. Everything is speculation, so taking something seriously that hasn’t been tested to prove its truth will be catastrophic.

- Focus on objective criteria: Use data and facts to inform decision-making. The other problem with decision-making is that of populism. We tend to make decisions based on popularity. It’s at times better to be unpopular while making a decision that will later be popular.

- Set clear goals: Establish specific, measurable, and achievable objectives. Perceptions form every day, and if you accept them, you will not follow any path, but you will move in circles.

Achieving Success through Objectivity

By embracing objectivity and setting clear goals, individuals can increase their chances of success and bring their vision to life.

My obituary to Rev E Kamupira

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Rev E Kamupira was my childhood model of Christianity, his teachings resonated well and shaped my beliefs. I knew Rev E Kamupira since my Sunday School days at St Stephens Chitungwiza Circuit. Sundays weren’t the same each time Rev Kamupira came to preach. Rev Kamupira was a product of United Methodist Church crusade of teachings though he had a Pentecostal touch that kind of made him popular within and without of United Methodist Church. His fearless gospel suited well with congregants in an independent Zimbabwe. From hearing his teachings far away from the terraces I ended up privileged sharing the same church with Rev Kamupira in Waterfalls. I had also rose to a promising Administrator in the United Methodist Church. I had a mutual relationship with Elison Kamupira. We discussed our church current affairs and shared the gospel. Rev Kamupira was a very respectful person who ...

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...

It’s Not The End Of The World

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga This story is based on a true story and I have edited names so that someone is inspired out there. Resilience makes great changes in people's lives, don't commit Suicide Fadzai sat on the edge of her bed, feeling empty and defeated. She had never felt so alone in her life. Thomas’s brief and dismissive response on the phone had left her reeling. She thought about her daughter, Rungano, who was now misbehaving at school, and how she was struggling to cope with the absence of her father. Thomas had gone to South Africa for greener pastures leaving Fadzai with their only daughter behind. The plan was to relocate to South Africa as soon as Thomas had settled. In the first six months Thomas supported Fadzai with groceries, school fees and rentals. A shift began after Thomas had started seeing other women in South Africa. Thomas started sending money enough for rentals, school fees and a few groceries. The...
