Do you remember Meshack from Iringa?

 
Makala ya Meshack Maganga, Iringa

Ndugu zangu, tunapoelekea kuaga mwaka huu wa 2013 na kuukaribisha mwaka mpya wa 2014, nimepata muda wa kukaa na kumshukuru Mungu kwa yote aliyonitendea, ninamshukuru Mungu pia kwa kupata marafiki wapya kupitia mitandao ya kijamii na pia kupitia mtandao huu wa WAVUTI. Kuna walionipigia simu na kuniandika barua pepe na kuna walionitembelea nyumbani Iringa kujifunza Kilimo cha Mboga na kile cha miti. Ninawashukuru sana wote. Karibuni tena na ninawatakia mafanikio mema kwa mwaka ujao.

Mwaka ujao wa 2014 Usikubali watu wenye mtazamo hasi, watu wanao haribu majina ya wenzao, wenye viburi, watu wasiokuwa na shukrani kwa wenzao ama kwa serkali, ama ajira inayo kupotezea muda bila kutimiza malengo yako iendelee kukupotezea muda wako na kukuumiza kisaikolojia na kurudisha nyuma ndoto yako...  Jilinde, Jipende. “Don't die a copy.”

Mwaka huu ujao, Jitengeneze kiasi ambacho utapendwa na kuzungukwa na watu watakaokusaidia kuyafikia uyatakayo (Malengo yako ama ndoto ya maisha yako)  na wafanye wafurahi kuwa na wewe. Wanaweza kuwa wateja wako, marafiki 
zako, waajiri wako, wafanyakazi wako,wasaidizi wako,nduguzako, wajasiriamali wenzako. wafanyabiashara wenzako mahali popote ulipo.

Fanya mambo ambayo yatawafanya wajue kuwa bila wewe yasingetokea. Uwezekano huo upo kwasababu wapo wengine wanafanya hivyo na tunawaona na kuwasikia. Mwimbaji mmoja wa nyimbo za njili wa hapa Tanzania ameimba kwa kusema ‘ katika yale yale yanayowatoa roho watu ndiyo hayohayo wengine wanafanikiwa.’

Hakikisha kuwa unatumia muda wako vizuri. Ishi maisha kwa manufaa usipoteze muda duniani. Muda ndio maisha yako ya kuishi duniani, wengine wanaendelea amka na wewe ufanye kitu.

Jifunze na fanya mambo mapya kila siku ambayo hujawahi fanya hata kama ni mapya duniano.Kumbuka kuwa dunia hii itabaki kuwa na mapungufu siku zote kama hutafanya cha kwako cha kipekee ulichonacho. Jisukume kwenda mbele na kuwa huru kuishi kimanufaa. Na jifunze kutafuta uwezekano katika kila kitu kwani kila kitu kinawezekana kwa atakayetafuta njia ya uwezekano. Fursa zipo Tanzania na hakuna nchi yenye fursa za kufanikiwa kama Tanzania amua kufumbua macho uzione, zipo hata ukibisha zipo. Moyo wako, akili yako na mwili wako vikubali na kupenda kitu hicho hutachoka kufanya Na lazima utasababisha kitu.

Na kwa kipindi cha mwaka huu ujao, acha kuwanyooshea vidole wengine wewe fanya kwa nafasi yako na kwa muda wako kwa kuwa msaada kwa wengine. KUMBUKA Tanzania inarudishwa nyuma na watanzania wanaowanyooshea wengine vidole wakati wao hawajafanya kitu chochote. Kuwa ‘role model’ na ‘mentor’ wa watu. Jitolee ikibidi.

Ukifanya hayo lazima dunia itageukia upande wako.Na ukumbuke kuwa ipo nafasi duniani kwa binadamu atakayeamua kujitengenezea nafasi yake. Kumbuka kuwa Tanzania haiwezi kutambulika bila wewe,haiwezi kuheshimika bila wewe na heshima ya Tanzania inaanza na wewe kimafanikio,kitabia,kiutamaduni, kielimu, kibiashara  na kimtazamo.  Jifunze kusema kuwa Tanzania ni yako na bila wewe Tanzania haiwezi kuitwa Tanzania.

Ninawatakiwa mafanikio mema kwa kwa mwaka huu ujao wa 2014, tufanye kazi, tuanzishe miradi, tununue mashamba ama viwanja, tuwe wapya, tuache lawama, AMUA KUFANIKIWA 2014.

Seven ways to make life simple

 
Marc and I received over 700 replies to our previous two 'subscribers only' emails on simplicity. 
So many people told us about the specific complications they're struggling with and requested more simplicity tips.  
So... three times is a charm - our final installment of simplicity advice for the year ahead:

7 Ways to Make Life Simple Again:

A simple life has a different meaning and a different value for every person. 
For me, it means getting rid of some of life’s complexities so you can spend more time with people you love 
and do more of the things you love.  It means getting rid of the clutter, and eliminating all but the essential,
so you are left with only that which gives you value.

For the cynics who might say that the list of ideas below (along with the ideas from our previous emails) is too long to be ‘simple,’ 
there are really only two steps to simplifying:

1. Identify what’s most important to you.
2. Eliminate as much as you possibly can of everything else.

Of course, that advice is not terribly useful unless you can see some examples of how to apply this concept to different
areas of your life; so I present to you…

3.  Learn to let GO of what wasn't meant to be.

Letting go is part of moving on to something better.  
You will not get what you truly deserve if you’re too attached to the things you’re supposed to let go of.  
Sometimes you love, and you struggle, and you learn, and you move on.  And that’s OK.  
You must be willing to let go of the life you planned for so you can enjoy the life that is waiting for you. 
(from the “Simplicity” chapter of our book)

4.  Stop wishing your life away.

The truth is, your whole life has been leading up to this moment.  Think about that for a second.  
Every single thing you’ve gone through in life, every high, every low, and everything in between, has led you to this moment right now.  
This moment is priceless, and it’s the only moment guaranteed to you.  This moment is your ‘life.’  
Don’t miss it. (from the “Goals and Success” chapter of our book)

5.  Start making moves.

Sometimes we ask questions not to seek answers but to affirm something our soul knows already.  
You’re not doing yourself a favor by merely hearing the same answer from people over and over again.  
It is accepting the truth, making a conscious change and finally moving on to other things that is your answer.  
Give your soul a chance to explore the life you are meant to live. 
 Stop asking the same questions – at some point you have to make a decision and take action. 
(from the “Productivity” chapter of our book)

6.  Look for the silver lining in every tough situation.

When things are hard, and you feel down, take a few deep breaths and look for the silver lining – the small glimmers of hope.  
Remind yourself that you can and will grow stronger from these hard times.  
And remain conscious of your blessings and victories – all the things in your life that are right.  
Focus on what you have, not on what you haven’t. (from the “Adversity” chapter of our book)

7.  Spend more time with the right people.

These are the people you enjoy, who love and appreciate you, and who encourage you to improve in healthy and exciting ways.  
They are the ones who make you feel more alive, and not only embrace who you are now, 
but also embrace and embody who you want to be, unconditionally. (from the “Relationships” chapter of our book)

And again, please remember that if you're struggling with any of these points, there is a clear path to getting back on track.  
Your habits are simply broken and need to be repaired.  When you trust a broken set of habits every day, 
it's only a matter of time before life gets confusing and complicated.  It doesn't have to be this way though.  
You can make adjustments starting today that will instantly help you feel better, think more clearly, and live more effectively.

As Always,

The hard question from Robert Kiyosaki

OF THE FOUR GROUP OF PEOPLE where DO YOU BELONG?

By |December 7, 2013
kiyosakiToday I want to share with you one of an interesting story  from my mentor  Robert Kiyosaki one of my favorite author of all time,To say the truth Robert contributed in a great way to make me stand Where and Who Iam today, Robert Kiyosaki is A multimillionaire,Entrepreneur,Investor,Personal Finance Advocate,and an Author mostly known for his best selling book “Rich Dad Poor Dad”
On this post I will share with you what Robert  explains about an important diagram  called “Cash Flow Quadrant”just read what Robert is trying to share with you.

kiyosaki6  “There was an important diagram my rich dad showed me when I was a little boy. It was a    diagram known as the Cash Flow Quadrant. And the Quadrant is made of four different people who make of the business world.
So my rich dad said, “In the business world there are E’s and E stands for Employees. And the Employees, you can always tell who they are by their core values. An employee with the president, the generator of the company, will always say the same words. The words are“I’m looking for a safe, secure job with benefits.” That’s what makes them employees because their core value is security.”
The other one of the four is the S for the Small business owner or the Self-employed and againtheir core values will cause them to use the same words which are, “If you want it done right, do it by yourself.” S means they are also solo. Generally one person act, they operate by themselves.
THE CASH FLOW QUADRANT
On the right side of the Cash Flow Quadrant are the B’s. And my rich dad said, “the B stood for Big business,  like Bill Gates. Forbes  define Big business as business with 500 employees or more. And their words are different.kiyosaki2
They’ll say, “I’m looking for good system, good network, and the smartest people I know to help run my business.” Unlike the S, they don’t want to run the company by themselves. They want smart people run the company for them.”
And then, the fourth of the Cash Flow Quadrant is the I. And the I stands for the investor. These are people who have money work hard for them. People in  B Quadrant have people work hard for them. And these people in the E & S Quadrant are the people who work hard for the rich here in the right side of the Cash Flow Quadrant, for the Bs and Is.
So, early on in my life it was my poor dad who always said to me, “You know Robert, go to school, and get a high paying job…” And so my poor dad’s core value was to be an employee. He wanted a job security, promotions, steady pay check and all these.
kiyosaki7And so it was my rich dad who said to me, “You know, Robert, if you really want to be rich, learn to build businesses.” It made more sense to him to work hard to build a business. Something you own, and something you pass on from generation to generation to your kids.
Whereas my poor dad said, “work hard…” But my rich dad said,“Why would you work hard for something you’ll never own, and you can get fired from it right away?” Again, that was the difference of values.
So my rich dad suggested I learn how to be a business owner and learn how to be an investor. And that’s where the big difference is. On the left side of the Cash Flow Quadrant, these people work for security, they work for money also.
On the right side of the Cash flow Quadrant the B and I people’s key value, what they want is they want Freedom, financial liberty. They don’t want to have to work in a job anymore. They don’t want to have to work for the rest of their lives.
So the beauty of building a business and learning how to invest is very simply that this is passive income.You work hard for a few years and possibly for the rest of your life that passive income keeps flowing to you.”From 1960 to 2000 the value of the dollar has declined steadily.
“When you take a look at this 40-year run on the dollar, the dollar is designed economically to lose money every single year. So, why would you save something that loses money every year?
And what does this mean for you or for somebody on the retirement plans, if the value of the dollar goes down and your cost of living keeps going up after you retire?To my rich dad that was bad advice and made no sense. Again different values.”
So to summarize as we have  seen what Kiyosaki was trying to explain it makes more sense to work hard in building a system (business) something you  work hard for a few years and possibly for the rest of your life that passive income keeps flowing to you rather than working hard just to meet end needs.

Tough job to get as the competitiveness runs between 85 - 96

10 Competitive Jobs That Everyone Wants But Hardly Anyone Gets

Business Insider

One of the biggest job stresses is having to fight with competitors and  coworkers  for clients, commissions, and recognition.
Rather than focusing on your own work, highly competitive fields force you to be constantly aware of what everyone else is doing. 
Competition is particularly acute in visible, hard-to-break-into industries like entertainment and sports, jobs that offer lucrative payouts to top performers, and coveted positions with only a limited number of spots.
Sports and talent agents, for example, constantly fight over a small number of high-profile clients. Poets and writers constantly fight to get published and have their work seen. And athletes compete on a daily basis as their job.
Based on data from the Occupational Information Network (O*NET), a U.S. Department of Labor database full of detailed information on occupations, below are the 10 most competitive jobs in America. The ranking measures the extent that the job "requires the worker to compete or to be aware of competitive pressures."
Each job is scored on a scale of zero to 100, with a score above 75 denoting a job that's extremely competitive:
1. ChoreographersCompetitiveness score:  96
2. Poets, Lyricists and Creative Writers: 95Competitiveness score: 95
3.  Athletes and Sports CompetitorsCompetitiveness  score: 94  
4.  S ales Agents, Securities and Commodities: 93Competitiveness  score: 93
5. Sound Engineering TechniciansCompetitiveness  score: 89 
6. Makeup Artists, Theatrical and PerformanceCompetitiveness  score: 88
7.  Music Composers and ArrangersCompetitiveness  score: 88
8. Real Estate Sales AgentsCompetitiveness  score: 88
9. Coaches and ScoutsCompetitiveness score: 87
10. Agents and Business Managers of Artists, Performers, and AthletesCompetitiveness  score: 85

After interview and not employed, asking the hiring manager may not help

Today’s topic is just to help you feel better if you've ever had an interview and didn’t get the job.
 
We all work hard in preparing for a job interview.  We research the company, we practice answering interview questions, we tweak our resume, etc.  The list of things we do is endless.  And after all those countless hours of preparation we find out after a couple of weeks that we didn’t get the job.

Sometimes it’s very difficult to understand the reason why.  We knew we were right for the job and they seemed to like us.  Everything fit, but for some unknown reason they chose someone else. 
 
This story happens more often than not to countless job seekers.  If it happened to you, don’t feel bad, just treat it as a learning experience and move on.

Sending a letter to the hiring manager and asking what it was about you they didn’t like seems like a good idea, doesn’t it?  It’s a very genuine request and if they shared with you the answer, that might help you in future job interviews, right? 
 
But the reality is a cold shoulder and you’re likely to feel even worse after sending a letter only to never hear back from them again.

It’s very unlikely that an employer will share with you the reason(s) they did not choose to hire you.  They probably won’t even respond to you at all. 
 
You see, companies can be held liable for what they say to you, so that’s why they keep their response to the standard “we found another candidate to be a closer match for this position.” 

They’ll never really tell you why, in fact, they probably liked you – they just liked this other candidate a little better. 
 
If this has happened to you, rest assured you are not the only one.  Keep your spirits high and keep interviewing until you find the place that is best for you.
