Leadership Lesson
+ve MENTAL ATTITUDE
A milk vendor used to sell milk on his motor cycle in a town. He was carrying four milk cans, two on each side of his vehicle ..
One day, while he was calling on a house, two students approached his motor cycle and pushed frogs one each in two cans.
The happy frogs started finding themselves in a tight position.
The frog in one of the cans studied the situation. It made a SWOT analysis.
His strength was – to swim effectively in any liquid. He recollects from his "WISDOM BANK" that most difficult times come only for a short time and will not last long.
He starts swimming and swimming and finds himself sitting on a butter lump formed due to the churning action of his swimming. He is now safe for a while. When the milk vendor opens the cans for his next call, the frog leaps to his freedom .
The frog in other can does not turn on his attitudinal bulb. He blames the student for his misery and started cursing him. He blames God for making him so small that he can neither lift the lid of the can nor he can drill a hole in the can.
With all these negative thoughts, he eventually drowns in the milk and dies.
What is the moral of the story ?
It is about ATTITUDE.
While the first frog was a ' I CAN' person with a positive mental attitude, the other one was a ' I CAN'T ' person.
You can be a "CAN" or 'CAN'T' person. The choice is with you alone.
No one except yourself can make you a 'CAN' or 'CAN'T' person.
A Winner is NOT one who NEVER FAILS......But one who NEVER QUITS!!!"
Many people spend their whole life in overcoming their weakness .. but they forget it is only possible by strengthening there strengths...
Let us work on our strengths such that any problem can be converted into opportunity and be a Positive person...
If we are positive ....then surely we would be able to see +ve energy in others...too.....
When Thomas Edison invented the light bulb, he tried over 2000 experiments before he got it to work.
A young reporter asked him how it felt to fail so many times.
He said, "I never failed once. I invented the light bulb. It just happened to be a 2000-step process".

"If you want to get out of the pit, stop digging."

7 Things I Learned on My First Week of FK Exchange

1. Uganda truly is the Pearl of Africa - Such a beautiful country, very green, lots of fresh air in the capital city (Yes Nairobi, it is possible to have fresh air in a capital city). I stay in a very nice neighbourhood with a pleasant view and lots of friendly neighbors. 2. I have the best of friends in my FK colleagues based in Uganda. - It's been only a week but we've made an effort to visit each other and find out where each of us lives. We also have a very active whatsapp group and whenever they  don't hear from you they will make an effort to call you and find out if you're okay. Ps- The outgoing FK fellows In Uganda are throwing us a "Welcome to Uganda" party ...and no, you're not invited coz you're not cool like us 😉 3. Luganda (Language of Uganda) is very easy to learn - Thanks to my awesome tutor, I already know how to greet people, call for a taxi and even shop for basics at the local market.

Harnessing the Demographic Dividends Through Investments in Youth

African Presidents convened in Addis Ababa from 28th January to discuss the continents economic progress. The African Union (AU) has chosen 2017 to be the year of the African youth and dedicated the theme for the summit “Harnessing the Demographic Dividends through Investments in Youth” to young people. Demographic dividend according to the United Nations Population Fund is the economic growth potential that can result from a change in a population’s age structure. This happens when the share of the working-age population (15 to 64) is larger than the non-working-age population (14 and younger, as well as 65 and older). The central importance of the demographic dividend to Africa’s transformative development has been repeatedly acknowledged by African leaders at the highest level and in key ministerial platforms. If Africa is to rise, then she has to invest in the youth of her member countries . Evidence from the last ten years has shown that a demographic dividend lens is a strate...

The Germanization of English!(maybe it could be easier if we all spoke this way!)

"The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility." As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English". In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c".. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter. There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f".. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter. In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible...
