Management [Writer's contest 2]

A management needs a manager to run effectively. A Manager is the person responsible for planning and directing the work of a group of individuals, monitoring their work, and taking corrective action when necessary as defined by the dictionary. I would like to tell you that every human out there is a manager. We manage everything, from our finance, social life, marriages, relationships and every other thing humans are capable of. I am a manager and so are you too, that means our existence can be termed a management being managed by us.

I broke down management into three segments. MAN-AGE-MENT.  First I would start wit the MAN segmentMAN- Man is an adult male but I would like to represent with human. We are capable of everything we can think of, be it good or bad. Man works daily to break limitations, create things from imaginations. What we have now are what some created years back and what we will have in the future are been thought of now.

In the early 2000s phones came in mono-graphic display screen, now we have everything in full HD mode, we don't know whats coming next. From one generation to the other human keeps building and improving on the last success. We are not limited to anything, our mind is a thought factory that gives solutions everyday. think positively and be a better man.

AGE- Age they say is a number but it is used to measure existence. we all grow daily and we all get old by the second. A man is categorized by his age but age doesn't really matter because how we run our management matters more. You would be surprised to see kids acts like adults and adults the other way round, so it's a thing of the mind. The impact we make shows how old we really are. I read story of two girls, on their  16th birthday were asked what they want as their gift, one said a Bentley and the other said she wants to open a school for poor people. They are both 16 but they both see the world differently. Our thinking and mindset reflects how old we are. How old are you and what do you see?

MENT- this actually means MENTALITY. This is the major factor that shows what kind of manager we are or could be.  There is this saying black man mentality. Mentality has to do with the mind and not skin colour, you could be white and act stupid while a black man could be an exact opposite .  It shows how we can handle events classified under success and failure. The most relevant cases are seen in our reactions to success, a case study of athletes shows that majority end up being broke few years after they retire simply because they lack a mentality to match their income, lavish spending and little investments all sum up their lifestyle at their prime.

At some point in our lives we all fail at one thing and some several times, a case study is Nigerian present president in person of Muhammadu Buhari, he failed but didn't accept defeat and gave it another try,  his mentality was strong enough to make him get back up. From my view we need to be educated to survive challenges, being educated does not necessarily mean to sit in a classroom and be taught courses that wont be applicable to realities of life but whatever field we find ourselves we should get enough information to keep us updated and educated.

The more information you have the more you build your mentality and the more edge you have. in everything we strive for in life, wisdom should top the list because with it we can see things differently and  be mentally equipped to face whatever challenge. I hope you can see that MAN AGE with his MENTALITY and again this is just my view, you do not have to agree with it....
