EXCELLENCE IS A VIRTUE

April 22, 2023 in Business, Co-Working Space, Focus, motivational, Upskilling

All through the historical past, both individuals and communities have treasured excellence. It is a characteristic that implies extraordinary talent, skill, and efficiency in a specific area. Whether it be in sporting events, works of art, academics, or any other type of field, people strive for excellence.

Excellence is not a fixed characteristic that can be attained relatively quickly. Instead, it is a never-ending quest for advancement and development. It is a mode of thought that requires a blend of expertise, sheer determination, self-control, and persistence. It’s not something that can be given to someone; quite often, it has to be achieved via perseverance and commitment.

Pursuing excellence necessitates a considerable amount of effort and diligence. Becoming satisfactory at doing something is not sufficient; one should always make an effort to achieve excellence. It entails going above and beyond one’s limits and constantly striving to make improvements. Pursuing excellence necessitates embracing challenges, risk-taking, and gaining insight through errors.

3 Key components of Excellence:

  • Discipline is an integral part of excellence. To achieve the highest standards in any field, you must be disciplined enough to practice frequently, concentrate, and away from distractions. Discipline is not a human characteristic; it is acquired through deliberate awareness and reinforcement. It necessitates the ability to effectively prioritize and manage time, establish achievable objectives, as well as hold oneself fully responsible.
  • Doggedness would be another essential component of excellence. It’s also not sufficient to have the talent or skills to excel in a specific area. One must also be resilient in the face of adversity, setbacks, and failure. Persistence is the willingness to get back up after being knocked down, to persevere when things get tough, and to never give up on one’s goals and dreams.
  • Setting high standards for oneself is also part of being exceptional. It entails striving for excellence in all aspects of one’s life rather than settling for underachievement or average performance. Lofty ambitions necessitate a dedication to lifelong learning, staying up to date on the latest trends in one’s profession, and actively seeking constructive criticism as well as feedback.

At Emerald Zone, it is a virtue we hold dearly it is one of our Core Values, and it is at the core of the services we render from our Co-working spaces to Recruitment, Sales and Marketing services.

To sum it all up, excellence is a virtue that combines talent, sheer determination, self-control, and perseverance in the face. It necessitates a dedication to constant improvement as well as a capacity to embrace difficulties and conquer barriers. The dedication to the achievement of excellence necessitates high standards, perseverance, and a keen interest in contributing to society. Whether in sporting events, the arts, academics, or any other field, it is an objective that people work hard for, and it’s an intrinsic attribute that people and communities alike value and celebrate.

Potect yourself and your loved ones from COVID-19

April 11, 2020 in Business, Focus, Uncategorized

The coronavirus which is spreading like wildfire worldwide can be prevented if you protect yourself and your loved ones from iy – COVID-19. The battle to eradicate the pandemic is currently ongoing and even though there’s no cure for it yet, a lot of countries have begun managing the situation through aggressive awareness drives, and temporary suspension of activities which may enhance the spread of the virus. Here are some safety measures you need to keep in mind to protect yourself and your loved ones against the spread.

Wash hands with soap and water or use alcohol-based sanitizer: Maintaining good personal hygiene has been found to be effective in protecting against the virus. The World Health Organisation (WHO) has advised individuals to wash their hands for 20 seconds once in every 30 minutes or use a hand sanitizer with at least 70 percent alcohol content to clean hands in the absence of water.

Stay away If someone is coughing or sneezing: This is where social distancing comes into play. It’s advised to keep a distance of 6 feet from people, whether or not they are showing symptoms. This is because the virus can be transmitted through the respiratory droplets produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes or talks and these droplets can land in the mouth or nose of people who are nearby or possibly be inhaled into the lungs.

Don’t touch your face or the faces of others: Keeping our hands off our faces can prove a very difficult task. Oftentimes we find ourselves scratching our nose, wiping our eyes, biting our fingernails or even picking a pimple. While washing the hands often may be a protective measure against the virus, touching the face with dirty hands can get anyone infected. How? The virus lives on metals and plastics for days so, if your hands touch these surfaces and you touch your face without washing them, you could get infected.

Stay home for as much as possible: Your house is the safest place to be right now until the pandemic blows over. Remember that some people without symptoms may be able to spread the virus. So, by all means, stay at home and limit your contact with the outside world to the barest minimum.

Self isolate if you experience symptoms: As the experts have explained, It takes 14 days to fully detect the coronavirus symptoms so, if while at home you begin coughing, sneezing, or having a fever, it’s best to self-isolate and call the Nigerian Centre for Disease Control to get help. This simple act can help protect your loved ones against the virus.

How many faces do you see?

Have you ever set a goal for a day ending up not accomplishing it?, then this is for you. Attention paves way for more ideas and more opportunities.The latest research is clear: the state of our attention determines the state of our lives. In today’s world, most people can’t focus because they have not learnt to focus and we don’t practice how to focus. So how do we harness our attention to focus?

Focus gives us foresight and far sight beyond what our ordinary eyes can see, in here you will get to see the relationship focus has with determination. A recent study pointed out the average adult spends about 1 hour 40 minutes every day on social media. Over 50 hours per month, 616 hours per year which means 128 days wasted every 5 years. Imagine if you replaced that wasted time with completely focused time, working on the person you would love to be in the next 5 years.

The opposite of focus is distraction. We are surrounded by distractions, whether we like them or not, it is up to us to disregard such distractions. If you want to make things great, shut out the distractions of the world and make your goal a priority. Steve Jobs once said ” people think focus means saying yes to what you’ve got to focus on, but that is not what it means at all, it means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that are there”. Focus is a skill, so we need to work on it to develop it.

Meditation is a popular technique for relaxation and stress relief that can significantly increase your ability to concentrate and focus.Meditation exercise  allows you to focus your attention on an object, sound or some other stimulus rather than trying to achieve a clear mind. For many people, this can feel easier than trying to focus on nothing or keeping a clear mind without a specific focal point.

Focused meditation is something that everyone can do at home without an instructor or teacher. All you need is a few minutes of time, a quiet place, and something to focus on. To reap any lasting benefits ,daily practice is required.
