QUALITY OVER QUANTITY

A few days ago, I was watching an interview of Bovi on The Honest Bunch Podcast when he mentioned a concept that deeply resonates with me: "Quality over quantity."

I remember he was explaining how parents ought to give their children attention, emphasizing that it’s not about the hours (quantity) spent with a child, but the quality of the time spent.

I believe this idea applies not just to parenting but to everything else, from our relationships to work and beyond. It’s about impact, not duration. What matters is not how much time you spend on something but how well you use that time. What is the impact of the 15 minutes you dedicate to a person, task, or goal?

The best people are often those who show up and leave within a few minutes, but in those moments, they make you feel like the moon, the stars, and the entire galaxy.

The trick is to make every second count! To maximize it. Giving someone or something attention doesn’t mean dedicating 24 hours straight, it’s about an intentional effort to leave a lasting impact.

Some people genuinely feel it’s exhausting to give their loved ones maximum attention, especially when life is busy, chaotic, and filled with responsibilities. But I’ve come to understand that maximum attention has nothing to do with how long you’re present.

We could spend the whole day together (quantity time), but if the time spent has no meaningful impact, it amounts to nothing. On the other hand, imagine spending just 30 minutes together where we address a profound issue or share a heartfelt conversation. That brief moment could feel golden and leave a lasting impression.

Dearest reader, go for quality, not quantity. Give people quality time. Leave them impacted. Apply this to every area of your life, and the results will speak for themselves.

"NOT ADMITTED"

She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
