Everything Tech and Social

The year was 2011. The location was Daegu, South 
Korea. The event was the World Athletics Championship. One of the most 
phenomenal athletes the world has ever seen, inarguably the fastest man 
in the world, was among a group of athletes competing in the finals of 
the 100m dash. Hitherto, he had won 3 gold medals at the Beijing 
Olympics in 2008. He is the first person in Olympic history to have won 
both the 100m and 200m races at world record times. He is also the first
 person in the world to have set 3 world records in a single Olympics 
competition. With all these as backdrop, the 100m final at Daegu was 
supposed to be another victory for the conqueror. But that was not to 
be. Just before the gun went off, Usain Bolt shot up and was 
disqualified for getting caught up in a false start. Well, Bolt is not 
the only one with a history of false starts. Many of us are caught up in
 false starts. False starts are usually characterized by having so much 
zeal that is not balanced by wisdom. False starts occur when you head 
into something with excitement that is not backed by knowledge, strategy
 or correct timing. If you start the year with so much enthusiasm but do
 not take the time to acquire wisdom and devise strategies to achieve 
your goals, it's a false start. If you start a new month but do not set 
any goals or targets to reach, it's a false start. If you start a 
business or a church without taking the time to get training, learning 
or mentoring, it's a false start. If you choose a career without finding
 out about yourself; your gifts, talents or passions, it's a false 
start. If you get married without taking the time to learn the ropes of 
marriage and the differences and roles of men and women, it's a false 
start. May you receive wisdom to avoid false starts!
