THE NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT

THE NEED FOR IMPROVEMENT

By OkechukwuOkugo

NEW YORK – The universe is never static despite its staggering complexities. The galaxy where our earth exists is called the Milky Way galaxy. Our sun is one out of over a 100 billion stars that exist in this singular galaxy.  Yet our universe contains more than 50 billion galaxies each with billions of stars like our sun. What is amazing with our universe is not the intricacies of these uncountable number of galaxies with their stars but the fact that they are all in constant motion. Thus we are living in an expanding universe.

Theearth is at an ideal distance from the sun, despite the fact that it rotates on its axis once a day, it also orbits the sun in a circular course. As we can see, the Earth we live in, itself is in constant motion.

Till today more galaxies and planets are still discovered. New amazing animals never seen before and plants are still discovered. Everyday man finds out that the information he had yesterday becomes outdated tomorrow. The more we know in any field, the more we come to find out how little we had known before.

Then the question now is since we are living in an expanding universe, am I sure amexpanding in my knowledge? Do I still operate today with the knowledge Ihad acquired during the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 90’s or even the 2000’s?

Before the 1920’s scientists had thought it was only our Milky Way galaxy that existed, until they invented a larger telescope that enabled them have a different kind of view of our universe; they now discovered many more galaxies existed. That it was newly discovered does not mean it had not been there since. It has always been there but it was found when the way things were formally viewed was changed.

Do I take my time to update myself? Information is power. For the reason that the world is in constant motion, everyday things changes and anyone who remains the same, year after year, season after season, time after time, would find out soon had become obsolete. The world has moved from working hard to working smart.

Taking a sincere retrospection: “What is that problem I have always had the same results each and every time I try?’’ Does it mean I need to try a different or new approach in tackling the problem? Following the same route each time leads to the same destination and constants in the journey. But seeking a new route might shorten or elongate the journey but surely would lead to new discoveries.

Try new ways today but always stick to doing the right things; and remember that the ‘’God-factor’’ is a constant that can never be removed from every success of man.
