Work for it.

Well I was opportune to travel to a certain city for a team capacity building and the travelling was fine, but my task was with the media committee..

Well pre the training we had to set some stationeries to be used inside the training, example the training banner, notepads, name tags and even the layout for some templates for the training.

Then the issue of coverage and photo and memories keeping we needed a camera. Well the process was at first easy since I and the team were to move to a different region it would have been logical to go get a camera from the place we were going..

Well that wasn’t the best idea well the best move was us moving with our tools but we didn’t and that was fine at first . 

They say if you fail to prepare you prepare to fail, and that’s what happened, see we thought that it would be easy to get equipments just because once we had a project in that region and we were able to acquire equipments, little did we know that time is a varying factor ..

We failed to acquire equipments not because we didn’t have money to rent it but just because we didn’t have the right people to sign off as collateral for us to get it..

We even tried putting our items on bond but it didn’t  work out.. THAT’S A WORLD LESSON RIGHT HERE.

See its not what you have,it’s what people have on you. Some people have blackmail abilities just because what they have on you is too much for the world around you to know.

But let’s talk about TRUST, they failed to rent out the equipments we want just because they didn’t trust us, even though the one that sent us to the place knew the place but they fail to give us the equipments just because they didn’t trust us.

Trust is something we have to work for. You can’t just build trust out of the blues, we have to work for it..

How many times have we work for something in our lives ? What was that one thing you wanted on spot and failed to get it until you had to work for it..

Just as trust is, some other abstract concepts in life you’ve to work alot in life. That’s what is required. We have to work for it, nothing comes easy in life, easy is bad.

Who’s fault is it

Its another beautiful morning today. I thank God for giving the grace of attending the first service today. So when was on my way back home I was just walking along the road then over a sudden a guy from behind me just greeted, “Hi”. I had to turn back to know who that person was, it was a guy a know, just a guy around the neighborhood and I hied back to him. As we were walking the guy was smoking and I was like it’s so too early for him to be doing this, this was just in my head. So I had to ask him what’s the benefit of that he replied “it has no benefits honestly and I can’t stop smoking ” I was like “ooh really” then he said ” I got this friends of mine who taught me how to but I now wonder that they ain’t smoking anymore” and I told him so why can’t you stop and be just like them “No I can’t stop I just can’t” , do you know how bad it is for your health especially your lungs “Yes, nicotine I what I get from this and I can’t stop, it’s satan who is making me” and I was like whoa whoa whoa man hold it there satan! Are you for real? so Satan is the one who made you do this. You know you really don’t have to blame Satan in any of this because you are the who made such a decision to get to where you are now and to what you are doing right now

What am I trying to say here is

many of us have been blaming satan for the mistakes we do or for situations we get ourselves in and we be like it’s satan who made me do this on the contrary it’s been our fault all way long we get to decide without thinking of what the outcome would be. So sometimes we just have seat and look back to where we made it go wrong and get to fix it than just saying the statement it’s Satan who made me do this

You have a great day. Bless up

Chillax,Graduate (Parte IV)

With reference to simba vs yanga and also with reference to the article we wrote about reference. I would love to start of sending my greetings to all yanga fans for the win against the derby .

The Match has shown so much that I can use for the part IV the comparison. See there were some expectations that the team itself am talking about simba set or already had against yanga and yanga too. The people that are the fans had already set there expectations.

Am not a football fan to say much but I want you to move with something from the match, before the match there is always a H2H count. That is a head to head count against the two teams, and this is a comparison for what the teams have been lately prior to the match .

Comparison that’s what its today, we’ll talk about comparison and last article we saw there are three types of comparisons and I would love to state one by one today …

The comparison based on the walkthrough title graduate depression…

Comparison set by the society against you. We all have guardians or family members that always think that they know all about school and all about you, and also even our parents have always been there in the loop of knowing everything about school simply because they work hard to get us the fees. They hope that we are always aware of what they go through and the only way to repay them is by us having a good life .

See they set an expectation between what they know and what we are, it’s super hard breaking this and if we are to give much thinking to this it’s a problem, we all fight against secret battles.

There is this feeling that when you are some how young and your parents have a point to compare you with it maybe a sibling or a relative that’s either the same point of academics as you or ahead of you a little, there is that atmosphere of where you are always behind in terms of performance and they have set that you have to be either like them or better than them, that situation eats up alot of as in terms of academics

The way through it is that life is yours its either you create your standards or someone else creates them for you. It’s simple as that.

Comparison of you against somebody else, after seeing the set by our guardians to us then there is what we so call standards when we set standard we can place a person as a role model but that role model may be a potential help but also a problem because if the difference between them and you if positively then you advance but if not then you are in problem of comparing you against them..

If you’re pursuing academic or doing anything never set your goals to outrun or beat something against somebody else. Swahili saying ” mhuni afeli anachelewa tu kufaulu ” we are always just late to succeed but we never fail. That’s us life to us. After you’re done it may take time to win but never ever compare yourself from somebody else.

You may be running the same race but that’s not the guarantee you have to move with them every move.

We can’t move if we move by beef or comparison that’s the easiest life principle but we fail to understand that. Always be you never compare yourself to others…

Comparison of beliefs, this is my personal favourite you can outrun the comparison your guardians have placed against you, you can outrun your standards you place your self against people but its very hard to outrun your beliefs

The funny thing about beliefs is that you think them throughly then it becomes your routine through the manifestation of it in the outside. Now that’s not a bad thing.

It will be a bad thing when your standards are tested to a limit they need to be broken, when you set something inside your mind gives you a certain vibe but when you’re in a conflict of interest to fight it or to let it go, that eats you up. So always be careful of what standards you put for yourself..

Coming parte V: tolerance, how to fight against your own standards and how to balance as world claws it off on you?

Speak not, burdened yes.

In life not everyone will understand you not even those close to you will understand. There some events or even activities that may seem random they just appear to pop on your side.

At this moment its not easy to identify the lessons that comes with the situation that you’re inside and boom you think like the world is not on your side.

Moments like this are always tough to handle, and it’s easy to find an anchor point a person or a place or thing just to dump all what you feel to them. I dont say it’s not fine to un- burden what you feel, but on how you unburden it and to who.

We all are living in this world that since day one has never fail to surprise us with alot of unplanned and uncoordinated events and since you are alive just know you are subjected to majanga ( tragedies will just come).

The point that am making you carrying something that is hard to be spoken to others or to entrust your neighbours with that doesn’t mean you have to go through it alone or to live with it thinking like you’re the only one with it.

When things are too heavy you are not alone and you should be careful on to how you place yourself or explain yourself from others

It is sometimes the results of your mistakes

look around you, the environment you in, the people you live with, the companies you hang out with, kind of advices you are given, decisions that you make. Everything you do and any place you are now might be a result of you decisions.

Yes there are challenges I don’t deny but not every challenge you facing in life is just a challenge some challenges come as a result of your own mistakes.

Sometime we just have to make a review of our paths of our decisions, coz most of us use the backbone of challenges i.e oh my am passing through challenges right now please just bear with me. We make mistakes and after the results come out we say we pass through challenges. We need to be careful with decisions we make ,steps we take or actions that we make so as when the results come we stop saying we passing through challenges but eventually declare it by ourselves that it is the results of the mistake I made.

Work out your Faith

Everyone under the sun has something that he or she believes in. Some societies believe in this and the other society believe in that, same applied to religion. Every religion has something that they believe in.

Whatever you believe in that’s Faith.

So I can simply define faith as the assurance of things to come and beyond the unseen. Why faith, why should you work out your faith? Most of us today run to be prayed for,run for prophecies that we believe and faith have in them that they will help us out and get us to somewhere better. But we forget that the faith we have is built in people, things,prophecies, prayers and so on and so forth, this makes the faith you have in you go low, forgetting that you can work out your own faith and things can get to work as they work with that faith you’ve kept over things or people. The good book says if you can only have faith as little as the mustard seed you can tell this mountain move and it moves. By saying this let me get to ask you a question how will you work out the little faith you have if you still put faith on other people to pray for you or on things or prophecies, why don’t you for once stand and say to yourself that from now on I got the authority of anything that’s around and we’ll yes of course you got the authority, you are given the authority. Instead of going to yo pastor or sheikh or whoever and ask him or her to pray for you maybe because you are sick, taking that as an example,you can just take a step and pray for yourself and have faith that it is done and you are healed. Well I don’t say that you really need not to go ask for help in prayer, you need that, I too need that, but whenever you find it not necessary for you to go and ask help from somebody to be prayed for just work your faith and see it happen. I assure you as you keep doing that from time to time and see things happen your faith will grow and grow and grow.

No Straight Route

Never have I ever been on planes or any other airborne machine. I speak this out of what I have heard; it might be wrong, if so be the case I agree to be corrected.

Airplanes of long routes such as those from Tanzania, Kenya and Uganda to America or any other destination you could think of tend to take many hours on air. Mostly ranging from 11- 18+ hours and this is so interesting.

These planes have routes same as to the buses on land. Sometimes it might be a one way flight or an exchange where you’ll change flights. In most cases these changes could be in Amsterdam or UAE for flights. (am i correct ?)

I know most of us are just like me, not well experienced with air borne travel but I am sure that you have experienced the bus routes. Here in Tanzania (proud being one), we have “daladalas” which have mini routes within the region.

Well; for the routes taken, let’s say from town in Arusha to kikatiti (suburb place , far from town). There are a few options to complete the route, either you take a bus from Arusha to Moshi(Costa) and drop by Kikatiti or take a mini bus(daladala) from arusha straight to katiti bus stand or two mini buses from arusha to usariver then another to katiti.

Even for us using the mini buses, we have got our own Amsterdam. What I mean is the detours before we reach our desired destinations. An example of a simple route from town to katiti an exchange of buses can range from one to three or even four cars depending on the day itself.

What am trying to bring in mind is the minibus exchange and even the airplane exchange in Amsterdam.  c, disloyal people and even betrayal on the way.

Life without struggle or hardship of any kind is not that sweet, there’s a say that no pain no Gain… meaning you can’t gain something new without working for it. When I say working I mean struggling or fighting hardship, challenges, stress, disappointments, disloyal people and even betrayal on the way to achieve it all..

So having detours from your big picture or plan will always give you the advantage of learning lessons upon lessons such that when you reach the big picture you’ll appreciate what you have…
