Eneo lolote lenye msongamano mdogo ndiyo eneo lenye fursa kubwa za mafanikio. Kuanzia kwenye kazi, biashara na mambo mengine ya maisha, kadiri watu wengi wanavyokuwa wanafanya kitu, ndivyo thamani ya kitu hicho inapungua. Nimekuwa nasema, kama unataka kufanikiwa lakini huna watu waliofanikiwa wa kujifunza kwao, basi angalia kile ambacho wengi (more…)
“As you move forward along the path of reason, people will stand in your way. They will never be able to keep you from doing what’s sound, so don’t let them knock out your goodwill for them. Keep a steady watch on both fronts, not only for well-based judgments and (more…)
Kosa kubwa tunalofanya kwenye maisha yetu na mwenendo wetu wa kila siku ni kujifikiria zaidi sisi wenyewe kuliko wengine. Kwa mfano wewe ukiwa unaumwa na kichwa unataka kila mtu aelewe ni maumivu kiasi gani unayapata. Lakini mtu mwingine anapokuambia anaumwa na kichwa ni rahisi kumwambia ajikaze au avumilie, hasa pale (more…)
“To what service is my soul committed? Constantly ask yourself this and thoroughly examine yourself by seeing how you relate to that part called the ruling principle. Whose soul do I have now? Do I have that of a child, a youth . . . a tyrant, a pet, or (more…)
Moja ya njia ambazo watu wamekuwa wanajizuia kujifunza na kukua zaidi wao wenyewe ni kuchagua kutokuwasikiliza watu ambao wanatofautiana nao. Watu wengi huona wale ambao wanafikiri au kufanya tofauti na wao wanavyofanya wanakosea au hawajui wanachofanya. Lakini hilo ni kosa kubwa, kwa sababu hata wao wanakuchukulia hivyo, wanakuona unakosea au (more…)
“When you’ve done well and another has benefited by it, why like a fool do you look for a third thing on top—credit for the good deed or a favor in return?” —MARCUS AURELIUS, MEDITATIONS, 7.73 Asubuhi njema wanamafanikio wote, Hongereni sana wote kwa siku hii nyingine nzuri sana ya (more…)
Huwa tuna mipango mbalimbali tunayofanyia kazi kwenye maisha yetu, katika kufika kwenye mafanikio tunayotaka kufikia. Lakini mara nyingi tumekuwa tunajikwamisha wenyewe pale tunapolazimisha matokeo fulani yatokee kwa wakati ambao tunataka sisi. Yaani tunajipangia wenyewe hatua tutakazochukua na matokeo ambayo tunataka kuyapata kwa muda ambao tunapanga kupata matokeo hayo. Tunajituma kweli (more…)
Maisha yanapaswa kuwa ya furaha wakati wote, iwe una kila unachotaka au huna. Lakini maisha ya wengi yamekuwa siyo ya furaha, kwa sababu wengi wamekuwa wanajiambatanisha na matokeo wanayotaka kupata. Sasa inapotokea kwamba hawapati matokeo hayo, wanaona maisha yao hayajakamilika na hilo linavuruga furaha waliyonayo kwenye maisha yao. Hivyo ni (more…)
Kuna jambo moja la kushangaza sana kwenye zama tunazoishi sasa, watu wanatumia muda mwingi kwenye kazi zao, lakini uzalishaji na ufanisi wao ni mdogo mno. Watu watakuambia wanafanya kazi masaa 16 mpaka 18 kwa siku, wanafanya kazi usiku na mchana, lakini ukiangalia matokeo wanayozalisha, hayana tofauti kubwa na wale wanaofanya (more…)
Mafanikio ya kweli kwenye maisha ni pale mtu unapokuwa huru kabisa na maisha yako. Pale ambapo wewe ndiye mwamuzi mkuu na wa mwisho wa maisha yako. Pale ambapo hakuna chochote kinachoweza kutokea nje yako na kikavuruga chochote kile ndani yako. Hayo ndiyo mafanikio ya kweli, yanayotokana na uhuru wa kweli (more…)
