INSECURITIES

I am giving up my time talking about the issue that affects a lot of people in our community, it is even considered as normal people being insecure on certain things and only few succeed to be secure on what they like and what they do. If we will look out to the world today we will see that almost all people are doing things because they have thought the thing will look good to the people and they will not receive any critics from what they have done.

Where am I going with this, the same place you are thinking, I am going to tell you to do things that make you happy and not what make other people happy, there have been a habit of saying things like, I am going to shut their mouth by being successful in the most paying career, you are making it there but what next, you are not even enjoying working there, you become even more depressed with that than even how you were depressed with their words.

The world now is full of people who think what they do, they like or what they belief is the best and is the only right thing, they forget that anyone can make anything right and best, they are complementing and even more than complementing but forcing people to be as they are forgetting that life doesn't work that way. Life has different packages to us even if we were born on the same day, by the same mother and have been living in the same house.

If life has started giving you happiness before others share with them, if life has given you a chance of success before others, never exploit them or being arrogant to them, and like wise if life has not chosen to give you the happiness until now never be jealous of others because the more your package of success become late the bigger it is that is why it takes time to be delivered to you.

Life is full of different people, some are there for you, some aren't, some are there partially some are permanent, but they are all important and they come into your life for a reason, if not to give you the best memories then they will give you the best lesson, appreciate them, be aware of the fact that the best way to learn something is through experiences and crying because of something is not bad and is totally acceptable but please when you cry for it cry hard and harder so that you will never cry for the same thing again.

FOLLOW ME ON MY SOCIAL MEDIA

I don't want to write a lot but I have two more things to tell you today, if you are in someone's life just because you think they will be hurt when you leave please leave them and hurt them once than staying in their lives and hurt them everyday, and remember what you are doing is very important and is the best thing, whatever comes into your mind before thinking about what other people will say is the only thing you are supposed to do, you are not there to impress anyone but you are there for you and those who are genuinely with you.

Be appreciative to anything in life because the best gift that life can give you is a lesson to learn no matter how.

Sometimes you deserve better …

For so many times it has happened to all of us that we ask for something that we think is going to be enough in our lives and we don’t get them, we spend a lot of time to apply for a certain job and we don’t get it, we are standing at nights praying to God and do all what is needed to make ourselves close to God so that we can get what we think is good for us and still we don’t get it. Think about how many time you have asked something you think that is very important and very satisfying to you and still you don’t get it or you get it and then turns to be not as you expected. We become so frustrated that what is best for us is not with us, and we start blaming without critically think what will happen next or what could happen if we got that thing.

How many times we think that two millions is going to be enough for us for this month and as soon as we get them something happens and we ask for two more millions, that is because we don’t know what is best for us and we think that something is best for us and we should think and have our own plans but what if what we think is best for us becomes not what we get, or comes in different way than how we expected, you may ask for a degree but what if it comes with illness, it won’t the best option for you but we always don’t think things like that, we only ask for money and that is it, we don’t know if money can come with accident, we don’t think about if we got accepted in that scholarship maybe there is an accident or maybe we missed it because in the college you are going to study you will get a bigger and better scholarship than that

Sometimes what we think is the best for us, is not, it doesn’t matter if we realize it or not. The only one who knows what is best for us is the one who gives us what he know is the best for us and sometimes after we miss what we were thinking that is best for us he is then giving us what we deserve, that is actually best for us not in thoughts. Sometimes we want relationships with other people and we miss them and we get other people, just know that, that is not bad luck, instead it is what is better for you.

We deserve better and God knows that we deserve better and he know what is better for us and he gives what is better and not what we want. So instead of blaming after we didn’t get something, and cursing around and give up we should all be grateful with what will happen next and appreciate that God gives us what we deserve and as we know we deserve better than we always want

From now on we should ask what we want but we should not blame when we miss them and instead let’s look forward to work on what God has given us and make it our wishes and live happily from it as the reality of life is none sees tomorrow or what will happen next and only there is weather stations and not future stations, none predicts your future or none predicts it correctly at least.

Imagine how many people when you were a kid have been telling you that you will be a good doctor, or a lawyer, or a journalist, or an officer, or a business man, but things have turned into something different and even your passionate have changed? That is to prove that none can predict your future so stop listening to those people who are telling you that you should do this because you will be this, how do they know. Weather is predicted by using different aspects and it doesn’t turn out 100% as predicted so how do you think someone is going to predict your life by using only one thing he/she saw only once in your life.

How many people have told you that you will be an accountant because you were very good in 1^st grade mathematics but you became very bad in 10^th grade mathematics, that is how life goes we always struggle, spend most of our times to study science, we pray every time and ask to pass our science but we fail them and we pass art subjects and we blame ourselves for that and people around us blame us and they think that we are meaningless because we study art and in the future times we find ourselves the best artists ever, so that will teach you how to be appreciative with what you have and work on it to become better you

I spent a lot of my 5^th, 6^th, and 7^th grade time to study science that I could barely pass on every test, but I couldn’t what the future holds for me and until I was chosen to study in business school that I didn’t have to study chemistry, or physics and Biology had nothing to do with me, that is how life is you don’t get what you want, but you get what you deserve and always remember you deserve better and the only one who knows what is better for you is the one who gives you.

All that time we use regretting of what we have missed, we could use that time bettering what we have gotten and see where the future will take us through them, many people are failing spending their time to think of what they have done wrong in the past and never enjoy their present and never build their future. Past is somewhere to refer and learn from what we have done and not somewhere to live, we learn from the future to make our future a better place for us

<script data-ad-client="ca-pub-2845053430283113" async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js"></script>

I have three things to conclude with, always when life gets hard, measurable and tough, remember there is always a happiness after sorrow, when people talk on your back remember dogs bark on something they can’t reach and when you don’t get what you have been always asking for and spend all your time building it remember sometimes you deserve better

World's environmental day 2020

How do you commemorate the world's environment day this year?

World's Environment Day (WED) is a special day that is set globally to celebrate and appreciate our environment and also we celebrate in different ways, locally and globally. 

As usual, the world's environment day is celebrated or commemorated every 5th of June. This year has been very challenging with all this about the pandemic of Covid-19, but you still could do something to show your love on the environment and biodiversity in general, as it is clearly understood that even if posting a picture that shows how you love your environment is a great way f commemorating this day

As youths that we are to build our nations we have to find all the probems caused by the inproper ways that we are using our environment and by that we will be able to live happy life that we are alwways dreaming of, but frst we have to commit ourselves to be ambassadors of our own

Today many countries and youths around the globe join together to show appreciation to the environment and many others this year are afraid of going out and know nothing about what to do to commemorate this day.

As to me, I celebrated this day showing how I appreciate my environment by attending the activity planned by the Zanzibar Climatic Change Alliance (ZACCA), which involved cleaning activity and discussion on environmental issues. The activity was a lot of fun and learning new things but also working together showed me the importance of teamwork.

Everyone can celebrate the environment day by doing anything that shows how you appreciate your environment, you can share with me how you are celebrating this important day by telling me your story here. 

One thing to remember is every day is as important as environment day, and we should always appreciate our nature as we live every day and not only on the environment, the environment is very important to our lives, and we depend on nature to live.

You can also commemorate by sharing this with many people as you can. Also, you can be the first one to read what is posted in this blog if you join in my mailing list, also you can follow me on my social media at FACEBOOK TWITTER and INSTAGRAM

Everything is a chance to learn

Learn to take out something from everything

"You should never stop learning because life never stops teaching" is one of my favorite quotes to ever happen and people do not understand this and they think maybe you should always seek for scholarships to study or apply for classes to learn subjects, but the reality is not that, to learn is everywhere, you don't have to be in class to learn, you don't have to apply for colleges or workshops to learn, that is why I am always saying that you should make everything an opportunity to discover new thing

Learning new things also is one among those habits of a growth mindset, so we should always set our minds in a way that they can learn new things and to never be fixed on a certain belief or experience but to see the reality of something and decide whether they were right of their thoughts or they becoming right now. Learning new things is one of the most important things to have as you will be stable

You can learn things either automatically or you have to put efforts so as to learn something, automatically learning is mainly from things that will make you automatically learn, example when someone tells you a proverb that clearly states something you will learn directly from that and that will be automatic without putting any effort in it

But somethings you have to be careful and carefully consider something so that you get out things from things that do not seem to have something to learn from. For example, any journey you go for not learning purpose seem to have nothing to learn from but if you take everything yo meet during your journey seriously you will absolutely get something to learn

_________________________________________________________________________

The idea of learning from everything has put me in a situation of feeling empathy to all people, it came until I am in a situation now I can't go out without learning something from the environment and that makes me o help at least three people on m way to anywhere and no matter what or how busy I am, I am always there to help people as long as they need my help

Learning new things also makes you curious about something and you will get an opportunity to keep yourself busy, as you may want to know more something you have seen and hat will keep you with extra work to do and that will keep you away from being unproductive.

Also trying to learn from everything will give you some opportunities, there are some opportunities that are maybe hidden and require your efforts to find them, so if you have a habit of learning from everything will ease your process of finding those opportunities and also being curious will make you get some important connections that other people may not find them

So we can see that trying to learn from everything maybe a very important thing and may give us some important things that are rare to be gotten. So we all should be learners, and the good thing is everyone can b a learner on, either way, if you fail in school that doesn't mean you are not good in learning, that means maybe you are good at learning in different ways.

A trick of annotating

What are the steps to annotate a document?

Many writers of books, documents, or articles use artistic languages to convey messages to the societies. They normally use languages that will not be directly telling what is meant, they love their readers to find out what was targeted to reach to them and not just reading and see everything meant, and that is literature. People use different ways to try to understand what was meant in that particular type of writing, some people use analyzes that are already prepared that explains about the art of work and what was meant to reach to the audiences, some becomes their own artist and find what was meant on their own and thy analyze books by their own, and the best way to use in order to analyze the article, a book, or a document is annotation.

Annotation means to add information and comments in the document, it also means to note important things you want to know about that particular document you are reading and what would you like to get from that document, there are different aims of annotating documents, that is people needs different things out of the document and they have to annotate so as to get these things, here are some of the purposes of annotating documents:

1. To find specific things from the document 

Some people are annotating documents so they that they can different things that they want from that document, and everyone will annotate the document in a way that they get what they want, and some people may want multiple things from the document and they also will have to annotate and find all things they want. 

People may annotate the document to find proverbs so they will use annotation to find proverbs, others will annotate so that they get verbs in the document or maybe others may want words chosen specifically by the writer and find their meaning specifically. All these and many more may sie annotation to find all things they want from the document. 

To find things from the document may be easily achieved using the annotation method and many people use annotation to find what they want from the document, I didn't know about annotating until during my stay in the USA I walked in the class of this the most beautiful teacher Pre IB English in Vestal high school and this lady taught me how to annotate and made me annotate articles every week and write about I annotated and she opened my mind and gave me the most usable trick in reading books and documents.

She taught me how to be a good annotator and she promised us that one day we will appreciate what she taught us that day, and it didn't take even a year when I realized what she said as when I wanted to take a national examination within six months and I was so behind and I had to catch up things I missed for the whole year. I used the trick of annotating all of my books and I managed to cover everything up. 

Here I was finding specific things and that is important information from the books that I may use to pass my examination without using the whole bunch of books, and I advise students to use annotation as a way to make summaries of what they have learned so as to BREAK A BULK OF BOOKS INTO SMALL MANAGEABLE TASKS. I have been always thanking my teacher for teaching me that important factor of reading and now when I read books I use that technique to get important lessons from them.

THERE ARE IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW AS A YOUTH CHECK THEM OUT >>>IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW<<<<<<<

2. To focus on the documents you are reading

Many people say that they can not focus when reading a document or a book that is why they do not read books usually, but many experts have proved that when annotating the document or a book make you focused and being interested in what you are reading. Annotating will make you see no burden of that book and as long as you understand what is talked about you will find it simple to continue and you will be curious about what will be written next

Teachers should use this was to make students read their literature books or large paragraphed books and they will be shocked by how students will be interested in reading and they will increase the rate of understanding what is being talked about. When students prepare short notes and they know what exactly was meant by what is written they will study easy but smart and they will pass their tests.

3. Writing about them

Sometimes we read articles and books so that we can write about them, either we want to write analyzes or we may choose the specific topic we want to write about from the document you were reading. Some people may want to write about the mistakes done in the document so they will read it in the way of annotating it so that they write with evidence

Also, sometimes we are annotating because we have plans to participate in the discussions with other people so we annotate to know what should we write about and maybe to find important quotes to strength our points that we are going to discuss

Annotating styles can be different according to the aims of the annotator, here I will show common methods of annotating documents or books

Highlighting important things

One of the methods of annotating documents is highlighting important things, this method is pretty common and it is usable for every purpose of annotating a document, let's say you are annotating so that you can get important words in the text, you may use a highlighter to highlight all words that you choose. And let's say you are annotating for the purpose of keeping yourself focused you will be focused when you see those important things that you have highlighted. 

You can also use highlighting to add information or comments to the documents and books. Some people use the highlighting method to show the mistakes made by the writer of the document and suggest the corrections.

The highlighting method of annotation has been a pretty easier way for me to save notes when for one way or another I can not take notes, so I use the highlighter to save those important notes for reference at later times. Keeping my important notes highlighted has helped to save places that I didn't understand when I read about that and also has helped me to know exactly where to study when the exam is very close and avoiding to read the whole book.

Taking notes

Taking notes is another method of annotating a document, this is close to highlighting and sometimes it is done together with the highlighting method. Here you take important notes instead of highlighting them. This method may also be used when the book you are using is not yours so you can not add a highlight in that so you will have to take note of what is important.

Taking notes may be done at other place or maybe in the same document, you may add notes or signs in the document that will keep you reminded of something you have been reading example you can write your question in the book you are reading and that will keep you remember hat something is not clear and you need help, but also you can use a question mark to show something that you didn't get very well

Taking notes may also be used to record all new words that you may want to find definitions of them at other places or ask other people about them

Taking notes is the best way when you are annotating for the purpose of writing articles about what you have read about, so you will take notes that will guide you to write the best quality about the thing

Keep your mind busy learning new things

How do you keep your mind busy during this time of quarantine

Our minds need activeness all the time so that they do not think about bad things and think about playing dirty plays when we are bored, and it is up to us to keep our minds busy in such a way that we are being benefited from it. Sometimes we keep our minds busy in such a way that we are damaging them without understanding. There are several ways that people use to stay busy, it can be beneficial or harmful to our minds

In this article, I am going to suggest some ways that you can use to keep your mind busy with benefits coming out from it especially during this time of quarantine. You can either use all of them or at least to get 80% of them will bring good result in your life, follow the following eight (08) things to help you keep your mind busy with some benefits from that action

1. Read books

I recommend reading books to keep your mind busy, reading books will provide a lot of benefits in yourself because reading will make your mind grow as it reads new things, and since books are written after a deep analysis they have a strong message in them and everyone will get something to learn from them

Sometimes reading books may be found a little boring but it is not boring as we will follow the rules of reading, and choose the books talking about things that wee are interested in. I also take a book as a bulk task and I break it into small manageable tasks, learn how to make big task small, and after that nothing stops me from reading as many books as possible

Reading books are mainly done at libraries but for now, there is no way you can get an open library to read books, but don't worry this is 2020 we have everything simplified for you FREE BOOKS provide you with free books that you can either download or read online through their Reading system. I recommend you to use that website as they offer every type of books you may want and it has been pretty helpful to me and I hope it will be for you too

As I believe sharing is caring and there are some people in one way or another don't have access to the reading stuff, after I read books I usually share the most important quotes that I got from the books and that make me proud, and I also write some important statements in my sticky notes and keep repeating to read them always and believe me it is mind changing and I advise you to try that too.

The other way you may find reading books is pretty enjoying is by annotating every page you are reading, to annotate means to highlight all the important sentences in the books and try to analyze them and find out what do they actually mean the definition of the word or find the reason of something. It is a good thing to use the applications that will allow you to highlight and put notes in it I usually use Adobe Acrobat Reader DC or WPS, they are good as they let me highlight something that I think is important and to note things when I need to write a note about something.

2. Take a walk and discover

This is my favorite thing that I use to keep myself busy at any time, during this time of quarantine only if you are living in a place with a low population I advise you to do this because you can be safe as you may not meet anyone in your way. I usually walk in the morning before the strong sun comes out and in the evening as the sun goes down and I found this very interesting

To analyze as you walk will even double the fun you can have when walking, to analyze you can take your notebook and a pen/pencil and decide what you want to analyze that day and you can learn a lot of things during your walking. You can analyze how many mango trees are there from a certain place to a certain place. I usually take my phone and find interesting things as I walk and take pictures of them and write about them and sometimes I find a good location and make videos

Sometimes I find a close food place and I walk to that place and eat as I walk back home, which gives me the motivation to walk. Walking is very important for your health both mentally and physically, to me, walking keeps me away from all stress and things I was worried about but also as you walk to analyze you can learn important facts, and maybe you can be the first person to discover that. 

You can take a walk with friends or family but during this time when we maintain social distancing it is good thing that we walk alone so as to stop the spread of Corona virus, and so that we all remain safe

3. Analyze things 

To analyze means to examine things methodically so that to give out the information and interpret to give out the lessons from it. To analyze things may keep your mind busy as you learn new things as well and the good thing about analyzing is it is not limited you can analyze anything around you and you can give out fun facts about that thing and people will appreciate that

You can analyze trees around your house and try to find some information like how they grow, do they eat, why they drop their leaves, how they give birth, for how long they give birth, what factors affecting their reproductive systems, e.t.c, you can also analyze bugs that are in your house or you can just analyze the atmosphere of your surroundings

Analyzing is very important to keep your mind busy in such a way that you are learning something from it, there is a lot of cool stuff that only need you to sit and relax and pay close attention to discover. There are many things you can analyze and here are five (5) things you can analyze 

1. The life of mosquitos
2. Why do people appreciate social media than people?
3. Is there any difference between the firstborn and the last born to their parents?
4. What thing seems to be so hard about staying home
5. Is it really that the atmosphere is built on a number of things?

After you do analyzes is a good thing to share what you have discovered and believe me there is no way you can do analyzes without discovering something and the good thing it is not limited. If you do any of the above analyzes you can share with me and I will write about them and give you a hand, you can find me at my EMAIL or social media on FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM and TWITTER.

4. Try to think of new ideas 

Many of us are bored of somethings we do as we do it always or we are getting tired of those things but we can not think of something better as we are busy texting and visiting social media liking pictures, but we forget that we can use few of our time to think about new things and how we can improve our selves on our works and everyday life

I always use my free time to think about what can I write next, what should I do for my community, what groups need help and how can I help those groups. But it not easy to use the same mind to come with new ideas every time so what I do is I use these three measures you can use them too it is really challenging and helpful: 

1. First I use the brainstorming process: This is the process where I list down all things I know about something I am trying to work on, and list down all ideas no matter how crazy they are. I normally use sticky notes and a pencil and my calendar to stick my sticky notes, I get a lot of ideas and I use CHOOSING WHAT TO DO FIRST SYSTEM to find out what should I do first.
2. Collect ideas from other people: I love to hear from other people what do they think about something and I normally collect thoughts from people who have gone through the process I want to enter, I ask older Alumni about the project I found out I can do first and second and from them I get to know what should I do, but I put in mind that none is ever to choose anything for me, I take advice, I analyze and I choose what to do.
3. Think of risks and requirements: I understand that everything I want to do has its risks ad requirements that I should know before putting myself into it, and I believe that I have to deal with those risk but in requirements, I have to know that I am able to get all the requirements. I remember many times I plan something but at the end be of the biggest requirement is to be at least 18 and that was breaking me out but if I could think of the requirements before I could find other ways I can do things

When I follow this process I always come up with a good way of either thing I am working on. You should also use this way as it gives you a chance to do what you want with knowing how either people think about and how you think about an what are the risks and challenges you may encounter as I always believe that will think for you, hey advice you and you make our own decision on anything.

5. Exercising

Many people are encouraging people to do exercises for the purpose of getting six-packs or for the purpose of having muscles, and yah it is alright to do that for that purpose but there are some people who think that they can not get six packs anymore for the situation they are at and they decide to exercise anymore. But one thing they fail to understand is not only can exercise make you have six-packs but can do a lot in your body including keeping your mind busy and free from thinking dirty stuff. 

I recommend exercising whenever you are busy so that you build your body, and building your body I don't mean having six-packs I mean your body to be healthy and resistant to diseases. But also exercising will make you busy and tired from being trapped by social media and bad thoughts

There are many forms of exercising and you can choose whatever form you think is fine for you, you don't have to do the hardest exercise to ever happen in the world, your simple exercise may keep you healthy and strong. I used to juggle every morning and swim every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. YOu can do juggling, walking, running, swimming, do a gym workout, and the good thing is that there are a lot of websites and applications that will direct you how to workout anywhere you are, visit WORK OUT ANYWHERE  to see how you can work out at your house, your office, in the car, at school, and everywhere else

6. Do small tasks | Chores 

Let's be helpful when we keep ourselves healthy and free from bad thoughts by helping small chores in our houses and keep ourselves busy. Many people do not see the importance of moving around and they see it is better to just sit down and liking Instagram pictures, but moving our bodies keeps our minds busy.

To see this, you can spend up to 15 minutes doing dishes, and up to 20 minutes sweeping/vacuum around the house, about 15 minutes wiping dust, by that you have kept yourself busy for almost an hour and you have been free from any bad thinking and unnecessary stress. 

You can help to prepare kids at your house if you have any, you can arrange your bedroom, you can find old clothes that you don't want, you can rearrange your living room, you can make decorations for your house and all those things will make you busy from thinking negatively and staying unproductive

Doing small tasks is important because it first helps out things that maybe couldn't be done for a number of days, but also it keeps you busy and your mind busy, it keeps yourself happy seeing things that you have done for that day and seeing around how beautiful your house is because of you motivates you.

7. Take sometime off 

Anything you do can be harmful if done excessively and I recommend to use some of your to take deep rest to real your mind and your body, you can use your relaxing time to sleep for at least 8 hours every day, listening to your favorite music that will keep you happy, drawing if you are interested in drawing, talking to your friends on phone, visiting social media but not for a long time

Taking some time off is one of the methods to accomplish your things as it makes you come up with new energy to do the next task, many people do not take some time off and they work and work and work and that results in poor performances of what they are doing. So, I recommend you to see resting as a way to do a good job. 

By following those you will be free from being unproductive and you will not spend your free time doing nothing, and also there are some advantages that you will get from following those ways like you will remain safe, your house will be attractive by doing small tasks and chores, but also you will be a critical thinker and you will have the best quality of your tasks since you are following all the needed measures to complete your tasks.

Don't forget to share this important post with others and you can always follow me on social at FACEBOOK INSTAGRAM or TWITTER and discuss with me anything you would like, I appreciate sending what you think in a comment section or send your comment in my EMAIL.
