Introduction

Have you heard of the concept “Sharpen the Saw” from Stephen Covey’s book, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”??It emphasizes the importance of self-renewal across four dimensions of our lives: physical, spiritual, mental, and social/emotional. Imagine a woodcutter tirelessly sawing down a tree for hours. When someone suggests taking a break to sharpen the saw, the woodcutter insists they’re too busy sawing. The lesson??Invest time in self-care.

I’ve been practicing this concept for quite some time, aiming to “Sharpen the Saw” in one or another dimension, and trust me, it helps. That spark of realization “aha, is it worth sharing with the community?”—prompted me to consider the personal benefits of learning and sharing on this platform. The broader reasons why knowledge sharing matters include?self-improvement and growth, fostering a culture of learning, empowering others, and personal fulfilment.

And so, I introduce “Thoughtful Thursdays.” Thursdays are indeed special—a bridge between the beginning and end of the week, filled with potential and anticipation. Enthusiasm is contagious, and I hope you’ll reciprocate by contributing to the topics and providing feedback.

Stay tuned for “Thoughtful Thursdays”!
