Your dress code simply gives you an easy go ahead!

December 2nd, 2021

Indeed if you’re a leader, you will forever have to dress well so as to command some respect! I was reading this article on Forbes about why you should dress 25 percent better than everyone else in the office and the author Carmine Gallo simply had to put it beautifully this way:
“I asked a military hero the secret to leading a team into a battle.”
The military hero’s answer?
“It all starts how you’re dressed the first time you meet them,” he replied
“If your pants are whiter, your shoes are shinier and your clothes are better pressed, you’ll communicate confidence, a commanding presence. You’re telegraphing that you’re in charge.”

December 1st, World AIDs Day

December 1st, 2021

Just like an armed robber, HIV/AIDs has continuosly attacked us. It has given us blows and is still giving! It has learned and mastered our way of life. HIV/AIDs has stayed with us for some good time. But it’s normally only on such a day like this, that we fully open our eyes on it. And since many at times they are half closed, many people have used this as a chance of stealing our resources meant for combating HIV/AIDs.

The big question me and you must ask ourselves is; have we learned how to live with HIV/AIDs? I truly believe fellow Ugandans haven’t learned. We fear it like it is a new disease. We have stigmatized the infected persons. We don’t follow health’s advice. We transmit HIV from one person to another like it’s an order from above! In my own opinion if we are to outlive HIV/AIDs, we should simply aim to size down its transmission’s rate to zero. Keeping in mind that every new infection whether not on myself, friend or relative will affect me, my friend or relative!

We need to be on the watch, motivate all infected persons to take their drugs on time, encourage the hungry youth to abstain from sex, married couples to remain faithful to each other.
Every Ugandan family shall soon be affected by HIV/AIDs if we don’t fully open our eyes to learn how to live with it.

A LETTER TO MY FUTURE SELF

November 15th, 2021

Dear Caeser,

I hope you are feeling okay and highly motivated for the next challenge. I would be so unfriendly if I don’t say congratulations and pat you on the back for making it through. Thank you for always putting on a great armour confidence! I had always thought you wouldn’t reach this level but you proved me wrong. You’re a true lion, automotive engineer and a teacher; you are volunteering to mentor students during your free time. For sure you’re a motivator.

• 

You have inspired and motivated many in different areas. Every where that you set foot on, you left a foot print. You lived what Martin Luther King Jr preached; where you couldn’t walk, you crawled! You simply kept moving. Thus propelling me to pen this thanksgiving letter. I know you keep thinking about all the good times that we had together and wish that they could have stayed forever. Just know the good times shall always come though only if you continue with the good fight!

I hope you know that you are where you are today because you stand on somebody’s shoulders. And wherever you are heading, you cannot get there by yourself. Therefore if you stand on the shoulders of others, you have a reciprocal responsibility to live your life so that others may stand on your shoulders. For it’s the quid pro quo of life. We exist temporarily through what we take, but we live forever through what we give.

As the sun sets, I pray that you may mould a person of your typical character for your remembrance in the world. Be it your wife, friend, son, daughter, cousin, nephew, name it. This shall help to maintain the good fight.

I would love to see people using you as a good example to teach, mentor, inspire and motivate their children or siblings. Whenever you’re pictured, what one should think of, should be peace, a smile, hard work, name them.

Caeser, you shall forever be my friend. I really love your character and do cherish your way of giving back to others. I shall always work hard and become a typical you.

God bless you,

#Learning

Check all YoMails here on my blog at anytime 👉👉 jcokuya.wordpress.com|A DIGEST OF MY FINDINGS

Hey Friends,

Welcome to YoMail.

This is a weekly newsletter concerning life issues dissected using Thoughts, Motivations & Facts. 

It will enable you to choose the correct path to take. No is a decision, Yes is a responsibility. Choose wisely!

Nice reading! 👍

Today we shall look at what learning is all about. Here we go.

Learning is a life journey! Have you heard about it? Yes, I guess you might have though bashed it off. Now that I have reminded you that it never ends you ought to focus on it.

If we are to continuously learn, we shall be able to uplift our life. This shall come through the different experiences we are likely to encounter. 

Learning to fix back my car tyre shall make me to quit calling my automobile technician every time I need a spare tyre. This saves me a dime. I mean fixing back my tyre is more of a do-it-yourself vehicle repair activity. 

Of course then why shouldn’t you & I learn some of these do-it-yourself activities. It sounds interesting, isn’t it? Otherwise let’s digest it further.

THOUGHTS

Thinking lines…

I. 

If I know it, I can do it.

II. 

If I happen to do it, it could change my life forever.

III. 

Knowledge sharing is learning more .

When you share knowledge, you educate someone but more importantly you learn more. This is why teachers learn more than students as learning is by doing. Do it and learn it.

MOTIVATIONS

Why learning is a life journey?

Executive coach Cherie Carter-Scott on life-long learning:

“Lessons are repeated until they are learned. A lesson will be presented to you in various forms until you have learned it. When you have learned it, you can go on to the next lesson. Learning lessons does not end. There’s no part of life that doesn’t contain its lessons. If you’re alive, that means there are still lessons to be learned.”

Source: If Life Is a Game, These Are the Rules

For every moment that passes by in this world, we learn from the different experiences that it serves us. Be it sadness or joy, the lessons that they do teach moulds us.

If we quickly understand the lessons they give us, we shall be able to move on to the next lessons (attain greater heights in life,  achieve targets, get promoted etc.) But if we don’t then we do remain exactly where we had been since birth.

So, we need to pass the first lesson to go for other lessons. This simply means at every age or time in life we are having lectures which requires us to perform (do an exam) so as to move on. 

Whenever we are tested with life lessons, we ought to give it full attention since it is a learning point.  

Get your pens and books, it is time for the lessons.

FACTS

I. 

Learn it, do it.

II.

Do it, learn it more.

Cheers,

October, The Month of Uganda

Hello there!

Happy new month October. I know this is a great month for my fellow Ugandans. It is our independence month! Don’t misquote me, it’s the day Uganda started to rule her self. If I don’t make myself clear, many stubborn youth would take it as their granted freedom to do whatever they want.

For me, it’s more of a month for reflections. I always think and rethink about the meaning of that independence. Are we truly independent? Your guess is as good as mine. Though we tend to make it celebratory, of which it is not a bad move, the images always displayed can’t be hidden and that’s the true answer to our previous thoughts.

Independence, freedom and sovereignty all do come at a cost! There is a reason why we were colonized or why we accepted to be.

Well, as we reflect on to this, was it the opportune moment for Uganda to be declared independent? Aren’t we using our independency well enough? Or it wasn’t even necessary for Uganda to be colonized in the first place!

Cheers

Hey Readers,

Welcome to YoMail.

This is a weekly newsletter concerning life issues dissected using Thoughts, Motivations & Facts. 

It will enable you to choose the correct path to take. No is a decision, Yes is a responsibility. Choose wisely!

Nice reading! 👍

Today we shall look at mindset change. Here we go.

What normally consumes the greater part of your mind everyday? Is it worries, happiness or both? I think it should be both in order to waken your brain.

That’s for a normal person, worry comes from thinking about the future or past. And a little bit of happiness is from the present but that doesn’t also nullify worries.  

Well, how should I (you) work out all these things since what we all need is full happiness! Emphasis on positivity is what we need to partake to achieve this positive mindset change. 

Let’s find out how one could get and why I (you) need happiness in our lives.

THOUGHTS

Thinking lines…

I. 

Why should I always be unhappy? 

II. 

What brings back my happiness?

III. 

Is it okay to feel sad at some time?

Yes, it is very okay. Many times this happens when we are thinking about the past, present or future. Though we shouldn’t let this take control of our life. Past is already done, we must therefore fight the present to overcome the future with faith.

MOTIVATIONS

Why make ourselves happy?

Author and anthropologist Carlos Castaneda on mindset:

“The trick is in what one emphasizes. We either make ourselves miserable, or we make ourselves happy. The amount of work is the same”

Source: Journey To Ixtlan: The Lessons of Don Juanhe 

Whether we make ourselves miserable or happy, we simply use the same amount of work. And if we are to ask ourselves again and again, what do we gain from negativity? 

Many at times people tend to lose focus and continuously cry over spilled milk. Yes, emotions do disturb and it’s healthy to cry though not every time as it leads to depression. 

Therefore we must always aim at positivity no matter the circumstances. Let’s believe in ourselves, for what others can do, you too can do it. Your emphasis is what decides your emotions. 

Turn on positivity then you shall always be happy.

FACTS

I. 

Emphasis on positivity can lead to success in any endeavours.

II.

Emphasis on negativity can lead to depression and anxiety.

PERFUMES AND WOMEN

March to the wardrobe! I mean it’s March- Women’s month. We celebrate every day of it because the unforgettable things ladies do. Someone once said tears and parfums shall make a man never to forget any woman he has met. So ladies, to be easily noticed should it really be your scents?

I have seen many ladies testing a perfume before buying. But hey, won’t it make it more expensive ( since you would have already used some ) or there are some specifically made for those tests. Anyway ladies out there know it better.

Just of recent someone asked me to recommend for her a good perfume. ( Takes a deep breath ) Imagine a gentleman like me who’s not even well acquainted with ladies-like type of fashion.

After searching for an answer to give her, I vividly remembered why some ladies use strong scents, it is simply because of the agenda ( normally to be noticed ) but not the love for it. For heaven’s sake why would one use some strong perfume that makes breathing difficult for them!

I therefore told her to give these four scents a try! If you have got some good ones ( as comments or suggestions for perfumes ), I do welcome them.

Angel

Perfume tips.

You need to know which perfume to wear when because there are some suitable for the night and others for day. If you like, you can opt for one which do works for both times.

Always go for something soft unless otherwise. Don’t go for anything strong because it could make you and those around uncomfortable.

Go find that perfume which suits your personality and age, as you get older, a soft scent might do wonders for you. Scents at times reveal who you are, or what you do thus you need to take your time when purchasing one since they speak volumes.

Please do have a good day.

Cheers.

P.S Always put on your face masks whenever in the public.

Good day friends and readers,

Who is a friend to you? Is s/he your customer, watchdog or manager? I think mine is more like a customer to me. Yes s/he is a client! Because s/he has shown an interest in me and is willing to learn from as well as help me improve my way of living. Better still s/he has chosen me not any one else!!

Well, how should I attend to him/her then? It all starts from the true definition you have given him/her. Remember mine was a customer! True clients are few and if not kept well they can easily walk way. Let’s find out how and why you need to maintain your client or friend.

THOUGHTS.

Why do other friendships last longer than others?

What brings back friends who had earlier on left you?

What kind of interactions are we supposed to hold with our friends?

One can easily empower their friends through honesty and trustworthiness. What I normally do is to put myself into the shoes of my friends such that every actions or decisions I make, is centered around love and forgiveness.

MOTIVATIONS.

Why make friends?

“The ornament of a house is the friends who frequent it- Ralp Waldo Emerson.”

Whenever we host our friends, our houses ( people who we live with or ourselves ) are brought back to life as there are a lot of activities going on thus they (our friends ) are the ornaments. For they bring more happiness into our lives than virtually anything else.

Good friends relieve stress, provide comfort and joy, and prevent loneliness and isolation. Developing close friendships can also have a powerful impact on your physical health. Please do get a friend!

FACTS.

“Man can not live alone in this world, and this is why God created Eve to accompany Adam.

Good day friends and readers,

Reading is leading. S/he who reads extensively leads perfectly. Oh yeah, try this and you won’t only appreciate the results but also be amazed at how your folks admire you. Reading reduces stress, expands our minds keeping it young, healthy and in shape. I highly recommend that all our leaders should read at least two books in a month.

THOUGHTS.

3 important questions before we go into our usual thinking sessions.

Do you want to improve on your vocabulary and comprehension?
Do you want to gain strong analytical thinking skills?
Do you want to gain knowledge?

Through reading one can easily improve on their writing skills. What I do best is to read anything that I do come across, be it advert posts on the roadside or writings on pedestrians’ clothes.

***

Sounds kind of weird but that’s the starting point of gaining an interest in reading.

MOTIVATIONS.

On the importance of a book,

“A book is a gift you can open again and again.”

As Margaret Fuller said today a reader, tomorrow a leader, for me I say remove “R” from reader today and replace it with a “L” tomorrow. Quite interesting not so? Giving someone a book as gift is really a great move. First they won’t appreciate your gift but after reading the book, they won’t forget you. That’s the magic. Because the message in the book won’t be forgotten since its both in manual (book) and digital (head) copies

FACTS.

“L” comes before “R” in the alphabet but from experience a reader will always be a leader in any arena of life.

Nice reading!👍

Good day friends,

You have got to get up with determination every morning if you’re to go to bed with satisfaction. Definitely it sounds like some sort of difficult task but it’s really very simple! You only have to master, keep a consistent form for one or two weeks before it becomes part of you. So, do you wanna try it? I guess so. Alright Let’s take a look at it more in TMF– Thoughts, Motivations, Facts ways.

This mail shall also be on my blog: https://jcokuya.wordpress.com
Here we go!

THOUGHTS.

An every day early morning rise can change your life. It gives you more space and time to do your own things. I mean without influence and interference.
It is a time you ought to do your meditation, submit your prayers to your God. Sounds great, not so?
Destroy anger, destroy violence, create peace! Enjoy a happy life.

MOTIVATIONS.

Start your day with a purposeful, disciplined growth infused and goal oriented morning, and you’re virtually guaranteed to crush your day.

“Give yourself an hour, fifteen or even just six minutes to fill yourself up”

Every morning that’s a gift, challenge and opportunity to us all. (taken from the miracle morning, written by Hald Elrod)

Challenge of making a disciplined decision to get out of bed, to invest time in personal development gives you the confidence to grow even more. Having the chance to appreciate the almighty God for giving you this wonderful day magnifies your spiritual growth. The freedom you do get during this time enables you to look down at your own life and take solutions to mend the cracks you had made.

FACTS.

You ought to get up with determination every morning if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.
Every morning is a gift from God.
