A friend once joked that the best way to buy a car is to buy each part separately and then couple everything together later. Well, to some this might sound stupid but to some others, this is wisdom.
We do not all have the same resources, opportunities and challenges; hence the hurdles we would all cross and the strategies we would need to deploy in achieving our goals might not be the same.
My first computer was a ‘cloned’ desktop computer. Each of its components came from different makers. Dell, IBM, Compaq and several other less popular brands all contributed one part or the other into this ‘single’ unit. It really looked patchy but I saw beyond the look and improved my competencies with it in a lot of ways. It however did work for quite a while until it became the repairer’s dilemma and I had to plough my savings into buying another one.
Life sometimes looks fragmented. Some aspect of it might appear nice and some other aspect might look terrible. The ability to put the ‘bits and pieces’ of life together and make meaning out of them is what makes a true man or woman.
