 Positions are temporary

Ranks and tittles are limited

But the way you treat peoples

Will always be remembered 

"Your silence will not protect you."

 "Your silence will not protect you." - Audre Lorde.


While building in silence may be a strategy that some choose, it is important to remember that silence doesn't always shield us from attacks or criticisms.


When we choose to be silent about our achievements, goals, or ideas, we may unintentionally invite speculation, assumptions, or misunderstandings from others.


Instead of allowing silence to be a defense mechanism, we can focus on developing effective communication skills and assertiveness to express ourselves confidently and authentically.


By speaking up and sharing our accomplishments and aspirations with clarity and purpose, we give others a chance to understand and appreciate our journey.


In doing so, we also give ourselves the opportunity to shape the narrative surrounding our work and protect our own interests.


While it's true that not everyone will support or understand our endeavors, embracing our own voice and speaking our truth empowers us to find the right people who will encourage, uplift, and collaborate with us.


So, rather than relying solely on silence as a shield against potential attacks, let's strive for open and honest communication paired with resilience and self-advocacy.


Remember, your voice has the power to shape your own narrative and create meaningful connections with those who value and appreciate your journey.

FINDING A HUSBAND IS VERY HARD

1. You find a handsome one, the brain is empty.

4. You find a hard-working one, he never has time for you,

9. You find an illiterate one, he always gets angry whenever you correct him.


10. You find a smart one, he lies every time.

THE SIX LIES:Every leader who tell themselves that lead to their ruin

 THE SIX LIES:

.

1. I DON’T NEED ADVICE. Every leader who crashed has this in common: they surrounded themselves with “Yes-Men” who built their egos, rather than mental superiors who challenged their complacency. Teachability is the leader’s greatest asset. It gives you access to the wisdom of others, the experience of mentors, and the favor of God.

.

2. I’M ENTITLED TO SPECIAL TREATMENT. Leadership may have its perks, but leaders should never think they’re entitled to those perks. Wise leaders have learned to manage influence, admiration and popularity with integrity, purity and humility.

.

3. YOUNG PEOPLE DON’T KNOW ANYTHING. If you’re not building a team with young leaders, you’re destined to fail. Having no loyalty to traditions and status quo, they question norms and challenge assumptions. This ability to see things differently enables young leaders to bring fresh insights and creative solutions.

.

4. NO ONE SHOULD QUESTION MY DECISIONS. Every successful organization had courageous leaders who created a culture where trusted people could give them open and honest feedback. Leaders who demand agreement and shut down debate will lose credibility, undermine unity and drive good people away.

.

5. FLIRTING WITH THE OPPOSITE SEX IS HARMLESS. Every leader must learn to avoid the sex trap. Avoid being alone with the opposite sex. Keep the door open if that’s unavoidable. Withhold frequent displays of physical affection. Refrain from frequent messaging. Avoid building emotional soul ties. Invest daily in your marriage.

.

6. I’M MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE PEOPLE AROUND ME. The danger with leadership is the tendency to think, “Because I’m the leader, I’m the important one and people should defer to me, honor me and recognize me.” Great leaders do not seek opportunities elevate themselves, they seek opportunities to elevate those around them.

1) Stand up straight with your shoulders back

2) Treat yourself like someone you are responsible for helping


🟠 People are better at properly administering

prescription medication to their pets than to

themselves. Consider your future and think, ‘What might my life look like if I were caring for myself properly?


3) Make friends with people who want the best for you.


🟠 Friendship is a reciprocal arrangement, you are not morally obliged to support someone who is making the world a worse place. Quite the opposite, you should choose people who want things to be better, not worse.

🟠 You’ve got specific problems. Run your own race and avoid peering in the lane next to you.


5) Don't let your children do anything that makes you dislike them


🟠 Many parents want their children’s friendship above all, and are willing to sacrifice respect to get it. That’s not good.


6) Set your house in order before you criticize the world

🟠 Consider your circumstances, start small, have you taken full advantage of the opportunities presented to you? Start to stop doing something that you know to be wrong.


7) Pursue what is meaningful, not what is expedient


🟠 Follow your impulses and live for the moment.We should delay our gratification in service of what is meaningful. That Means that something may be better attained in the future by giving up something of value in the present.


8) Tell the truth or at least don’t lie


🟠 Those are not merely two different choices. They are different pathways through life.

If you don’t reveal yourself to others, you can’t reveal yourself to yourself.


9) Assume the person you are listening to knows something that you don’t.


🟠 If you believe every person can teach you something, you open yourself up to growth and learning in every encounter with another human being.


10)Be precise in your speech


🟠 Specify the problem, is to admit that it exists, which can be confronting.


11) Don't bother the children when they are

skateboarding


🟠 As you age without maturing, you will become worthless and bitter, but you will never have to take any responsibility, and everything you do that’s wrong will always be someone else’s fault.


12) Pet a cat when you encounter one on the street


🟠 Wonder of being might make up for the ineradicable suffering the accompanies it. Noticing is better than thinking.

You can't improve if you don't know what you're doing wrong.

Understanding nonverbal cues is a valuable skill for decoding the thoughts and emotions of others. Here are a few examples of nonverbal cues and their potential meanings:


 1. Facial Expressions:

 • Smiling: Indicates happiness, friendliness, or agreement.

 • Frowning: Suggests sadness, disapproval, or confusion.

 • Raised eyebrows: Can convey surprise, curiosity, or disbelief.

 2. Body Language:

 • Crossing arms: Often indicates defensiveness, disagreement, or discomfort.

 • Avoiding eye contact: May indicate shyness, discomfort, or dishonesty.

 3. Gestures:

 • Nodding: Shows agreement, understanding, or affirmation.

 • Shaking the head: Indicates disagreement, disbelief, or refusal.

 • Pointing: Draws attention to something or expresses a specific direction.

 4. Posture:

 • Slumped shoulders and downcast gaze: Suggests sadness, low confidence, or defeat.

 • Upright posture with shoulders back: Reflects confidence, attentiveness, or assertiveness.

 • Closed body posture (crossed legs, tightly crossed arms): Implies defensiveness, guardedness, or discomfort.

 5. Proxemics (Personal Space):

 • Standing too close: Can signify intimacy, aggression, or intrusiveness.

 • Keeping distance: Indicates respect for personal boundaries or discomfort.

 6. Touch:

 • Handshakes: Often associated with greetings, introductions, or establishing rapport.

 • Hugs: Typically express warmth, affection, or comfort.

 • A firm pat on the back: Indicates encouragement, congratulations, or reassurance.


Cultivating empathy is a powerful way to connect with others and understand their thoughts and emotions. Here are some examples of how to cultivate empathy:


1. Active Listening: Practice fully engaging with others during conversations. Pay attention to their words, tone of voice, and nonverbal cues. Show genuine interest and avoid interrupting. Reflect back what they're saying to ensure understanding.


Example: When a friend is sharing their struggles at work, listen attentively without judgment, and offer supportive responses that acknowledge their feelings.


2. Perspective-Taking: Put yourself in someone else's shoes and try to see the world from their perspective. Consider their background, experiences, and emotions. This helps you understand their motivations and challenges.


Example: Imagine how a colleague might feel after receiving criticism from a supervisor. Consider their perspective before offering advice or support.


3. Emotional Validation: Validate and acknowledge someone's emotions without dismissing or minimizing them. Let them know that their feelings are heard and understood, even if you don't necessarily agree with their point of view.


Example: If a family member expresses frustration about a situation, say, "I can understand why you feel that way. It sounds like it's been challenging for you."


4. Practicing Curiosity: Show genuine curiosity about others' experiences and feelings. Ask open-ended questions to encourage them to share more. Be open-minded and non-judgmental in your approach.


Example: Ask a friend who has a different cultural background to share their experiences and traditions, and genuinely listen to their stories.


5. Empathetic Body Language: Use nonverbal cues to convey empathy and understanding. Maintain eye contact, nod to show you're actively listening, and adopt an open and relaxed posture.


Example: When comforting a friend who is going through a difficult time, offer a comforting touch on the shoulder or a warm hug, if appropriate and welcomed.


6. Empathy in Conflict Resolution: During conflicts or disagreements, make an effort to understand the other person's perspective and emotions. Validate their feelings and seek common ground for resolution.


Example: When resolving a disagreement with a coworker, acknowledge their concerns and express your understanding of their position before working together to find a mutually beneficial solution.


Context and interpretation play a crucial role in understanding others' thoughts and emotions. Here are some examples of how context and interpretation can shape our understanding:


1. Tone of Voice:

   - Context: A person's tone of voice can vary depending on the situation. It can convey different emotions such as anger, excitement, or sarcasm.

   - Interpretation: Understanding the context helps interpret the intended meaning behind the tone. For instance, a sarcastic tone in a friendly conversation may be interpreted differently than the same tone during a serious discussion.


2. Body Language:

   - Context: Observing someone's body language provides additional context to their words. Different body postures, gestures, and facial expressions convey emotions and attitudes.

   - Interpretation: By considering the context, such as the situation and relationship dynamics, you can interpret the underlying emotions or intentions behind the observed body language. For example, crossed arms may indicate defensiveness, but in a cold environment, it could simply be a physical response to feeling cold.


3. Cultural Differences:

   - Context: Cultural backgrounds and norms influence how people express themselves, interpret emotions, and communicate nonverbally.

   - Interpretation: Understanding the cultural context is essential for accurate interpretation. For instance, direct eye contact may be considered respectful in some cultures, while in others, it may be seen as confrontational or disrespectful.


4. Environmental Factors:

   - Context: The physical environment and external factors can influence people's behavior and emotional state.

   - Interpretation: Taking into account the environmental context helps interpret someone's emotions and actions. For instance, someone appearing restless or distracted during a meeting might be experiencing stress due to an impending deadline.


5. Previous Experiences:

   - Context: Past experiences and relationships with someone shape our interpretations of their behaviors and emotions.

   - Interpretation: Recognizing the influence of previous experiences allows for a more nuanced interpretation. For instance, if a friend appears quiet and withdrawn, knowing that they recently experienced a loss helps interpret their behavior as grief or sadness.


Cultural sensitivity is crucial for navigating diverse social interactions and avoiding misunderstandings. Here are some examples of cultural sensitivity in practice:


1. Nonverbal Communication:

   - Cultural Norms: Recognize that nonverbal cues, such as eye contact, personal space, or gestures, can vary across cultures. Avoid making assumptions or misinterpreting these cues based on your own cultural background.

   - Adaptation: When interacting with individuals from different cultures, be aware of their cultural norms and adjust your nonverbal communication accordingly. For instance, some cultures value more personal space during conversations, so maintaining a respectful distance is important.


2. Language and Communication:

   - Language Barriers: Be patient and understanding when communicating with someone who speaks a different language. Use clear and simple language, avoid slang or idioms, and consider using visual aids or gestures to enhance understanding.

   - Translation and Interpretation: Respect the importance of accurate translation and interpretation in cross-cultural communication. Seek professional assistance if needed to ensure clear and culturally sensitive communication.


3. Customs and Traditions:

   - Cultural Practices: Familiarize yourself with the customs, traditions, and etiquette of different cultures. Respect and appreciate the diversity of practices, including greetings, dining etiquette, or religious observances.

   - Sensitivity: When participating in cultural events or visiting religious sites, show respect by following appropriate dress codes, removing shoes when required, or refraining from behavior that may be considered disrespectful.


4. Values and Beliefs:

   - Religions and Belief Systems: Recognize and respect the religious and spiritual beliefs of others. Avoid making derogatory or insensitive comments about different faiths or practices.

   - Worldviews: Be open-minded and receptive to different perspectives and worldviews. Respectfully engage in discussions about cultural beliefs and avoid imposing your own values or judgments.


5. Celebrations and Festivals:

   - Festive Observances: Show respect for cultural celebrations and festivals by being aware of their significance and avoiding cultural appropriation or stereotypes. Appreciate the opportunity to learn and participate while understanding the appropriate boundaries.

   - Sensitivity to Dietary Restrictions: Be mindful of dietary restrictions or preferences related to cultural or religious practices. When hosting or attending gatherings, offer food options that accommodate diverse dietary needs.


Cultural sensitivity involves recognizing and appreciating the diversity of cultures and adapting our behavior and communication to show respect and understanding. It promotes inclusivity, reduces misunderstandings, and fosters harmonious interactions in multicultural settings.


Intuition and emotional intelligence are essential elements in understanding others and forming meaningful connections. Here are examples of intuition and emotional intelligence in action:


1. Intuitive Understanding of Emotions:

   - Sensing Unspoken Feelings: Intuition allows you to pick up on subtle emotional cues and understand someone's underlying feelings, even if they haven't explicitly expressed them. For instance, sensing that a friend is feeling down despite their attempts to appear cheerful.


2. Empathetic Responses:

   - Providing Comfort: Emotional intelligence enables you to respond empathetically when someone is going through a difficult time. You intuitively understand their emotional needs and offer comforting words, a listening ear, or a supportive gesture.

   

3. Recognizing Emotional Triggers:

   - Self-awareness: Emotional intelligence involves being attuned to your own emotions and recognizing what triggers specific reactions within yourself. By understanding your own triggers, you can respond more effectively in emotional situations.


4. Empathetic Listening:

   - Active Listening: Emotional intelligence involves actively listening to others and giving them your full attention. Through active listening, you pick up on not only the words spoken but also the emotions conveyed, providing a safe space for them to express themselves.


5. Managing Emotions:

   - Self-Regulation: Emotional intelligence helps you manage your own emotions effectively. You can identify and regulate negative emotions like anger or frustration, allowing for more constructive and empathetic responses in challenging situations.


6. Building Rapport:

   - Establishing Trust: Intuition and emotional intelligence enable you to quickly establish rapport with others by sensing their needs, demonstrating empathy, and creating a safe and supportive environment. This fosters trust and deepens connections.


7. Conflict Resolution:

   - Understanding Perspectives: Emotional intelligence allows you to understand different perspectives and emotions involved in conflicts. By intuitively grasping the emotions underlying the conflict, you can facilitate understanding and guide towards resolution.


8. Nonverbal Cues and Microexpressions:

   - Intuitive Interpretation: Emotional intelligence helps in intuitively interpreting nonverbal cues and microexpressions, such as slight changes in facial expressions or body language. This enables a deeper understanding of others' emotions and intentions.


By cultivating intuition and emotional intelligence, individuals can navigate complex social situations, build strong relationships, and foster empathy and understanding. These skills contribute to effective communication, conflict resolution, and overall emotional well-being.


Ethical considerations are essential when engaging in activities that involve understanding others' thoughts and emotions. Here are examples of ethical considerations in interpersonal interactions:


1. Consent and Boundaries:

   - Respecting Boundaries: Obtain consent before attempting to delve into someone's personal thoughts or emotions. Respect their boundaries and only engage in mind-reading or emotional exploration if they are comfortable and willing to participate.


2. Privacy and Confidentiality:

   - Confidentiality: Maintain confidentiality when someone shares personal information with you. Respect their trust by keeping their thoughts and emotions private, unless there is a legal or ethical obligation to disclose.


3. Non-Manipulation:

   - Honesty and Transparency: Use your understanding of others' thoughts and emotions ethically, avoiding manipulation or coercion. Be honest and transparent in your interactions, and do not exploit your knowledge for personal gain or to deceive others.


4. Non-Judgmental Attitude:

   - Avoiding Prejudice: Approach others' thoughts and emotions with an open mind and without judgment. Recognize and challenge any biases or prejudices that may influence your interpretations.


5. Beneficial Intent:

   - Positive Impact: Use your ability to understand others' thoughts and emotions for positive purposes, such as building trust, promoting empathy, resolving conflicts, or supporting personal growth. Strive to make a positive impact on others' well-being.


6. Cultural Sensitivity:

   - Respect for Diversity: Be aware of cultural differences and avoid making assumptions or generalizations based on your own cultural background. Show respect for diverse perspectives and adapt your approach accordingly.


7. Informed Decision Making:

   - Consider Consequences: Reflect on the potential consequences of your actions when using your understanding of others' thoughts and emotions. Ensure that your decisions and interventions are well-considered and have a beneficial impact.


8. Empathy and Compassion:

   - Genuine Empathy: Approach others with genuine empathy and compassion. Seek to understand and support their well-being, respecting their emotions and experiences.


Ethical considerations ensure that the understanding of others' thoughts and emotions is conducted responsibly and in a manner that respects their autonomy, privacy, and dignity. By adhering to these ethical principles, we can create a more empathetic, trusting, and respectful interpersonal environment.


Personal growth and connection go hand in hand, as they are interrelated processes that can enrich our lives and relationships. Here are examples of how personal growth contributes to connection with others:


1. Self-Awareness:

   - Personal Reflection: Engaging in self-reflection and introspection allows us to gain a deeper understanding of our own thoughts, emotions, and values. This self-awareness enhances our ability to connect with others authentically by being more in tune with ourselves.


2. Emotional Intelligence:

   - Empathetic Understanding: Developing emotional intelligence enables us to better understand and manage our own emotions while empathetically connecting with the emotions of others. This enhances our ability to relate to others on a deeper level and build stronger connections.


3. Communication Skills:

   - Active Listening: Improving communication skills, such as active listening and effective expression, fosters deeper connections. It allows us to truly hear and understand others, leading to more meaningful and supportive interactions.


4. Empathy and Compassion:

   - Putting Yourself in Others' Shoes: Cultivating empathy and compassion allows us to genuinely connect with others by understanding their perspectives and emotions. It creates a sense of shared understanding and fosters a supportive and caring connection.


5. Personal Development:

   - Pursuing Personal Passions: Engaging in personal growth by pursuing our passions and interests not only brings us fulfillment but also allows us to connect with like-minded individuals who share similar interests. It provides a platform for meaningful connections and shared experiences.


6. Vulnerability and Authenticity:

   - Sharing Authentic Self: Embracing vulnerability and showing up as our authentic selves deepens connections. When we are genuine and transparent with others, it creates an environment of trust, openness, and acceptance.


7. Learning from Others:

   - Embracing Different Perspectives: Seeking out diverse experiences and learning from others broadens our understanding of the world. Engaging with individuals from different backgrounds, cultures, and perspectives fosters personal growth and enriches our connections with others.


8. Supporting Others' Growth:

   - Encouraging and Inspiring: Actively supporting and encouraging the personal growth of others creates meaningful connections. Celebrating their achievements and providing guidance or inspiration promotes a sense of connection and shared growth.


Through personal growth, we enhance our ability to connect with others by understanding ourselves better, cultivating empathy, improving communication, and fostering authenticity. These examples demonstrate how personal growth and connection go hand in hand, contributing to more meaningful and fulfilling relationships.

6 LESSONS FROM THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH

 6 LESSONS FROM THE HAPPIEST MAN ON EARTH


1. There are many things more precious than money


It is easy to be enslaved by the mindset that money is the most imperative treasure in society. Money is always transient, just like most things in life. It comes and goes, but how much are you willing to pay for the fleeting pleasure? The consequences of a money-mentality are much more damaging than the value of money itself. Are you willing to put your mental, emotional, and physical well-being on the line? There are things more precious than money. Here are a few:

-Experiences

-Genuine connections

-A feeling of purpose

-Genuine concern for helping others

-Eddie says, “there are many things in this world that no amount of money will buy you, and some things are priceless beyond measure.”


2. Weakness can be turned into hatred


Weak people lack the ability to maintain any level of emotional intelligence. People who lack emotional intelligence and a strong sense of self are easily influenced to hate. Their values and convictions are not based on strong foundations; rather, they are proponents of radical causes. Hatred is a disease that consumes the human mind to the point of no return, causing significant harm to oneself and others.


“If enough people had stood up then come on Kristallnacht, and said, ‘enough what are you doing? What is wrong with you?’ then the course of history would have been different. but they did not. they were scared they were weak, and their weakness allowed them to be manipulated into hatred ” — Eddie Jaku


3. Tomorrow will come if you survive. one step at a time


The majority of people give up because they feel the suffering will never end. They relinquish control because their vision is clouded by minor inconveniences rather than the bigger picture.


“The closer you get to something, the blurrier it gets,” as the saying goes. Be well-rounded, logical, and foresighted. Nothing on it has the word “forever” written on it.


4. You can find kindness everywhere, even from strangers


If you take a step out of your own world for even a moment, you will notice that you are not alone. The most serious problem is that we cannot talk freely about ourselves, our lives, and our issues. You are not alone in the universe. There are people who would happily assist you if you were willing to be vulnerable.


5. One good friend


“The greatest thing you will ever do is be loved by another person” — repeat this sentence until you realise that love and friendship are the best medicine.


I cannot emphasise this enough, especially to young people. Without friendship, a human being is lost. A friend is someone who reminds you to feel alive.


6. Education is a lifesaver


I do not mean formal education when I use the word “education”. Yes, formal education is fantastic and brings great opportunities, but life education is much more critical. Understanding the laws of human nature, being mindful of worldviews, and knowing how to connect so that your voice is heard are all examples of life education. To be self-sufficient and not depend on others for a good life.


You may not be able to change the world because it is beyond your power, but you can change yourself. Change is possible, despite what you can believe, but it requires discipline.
