Embrace The Negativity Around

 

You see, those insults, ridicules, hatred, bad lies made against us, the looking down upon us, are the reasons we have made it thus far. Without all that we would have brooded in the comfort zone, in the conformity zone, in the mediocrity zone, in the lazy zone.

 

If we around ourselves only with our cheerleaders, with only those who support us, we miss the opportunity to learn, to experience life in different dimensions. Without those who hate us, we may never understand the value of love. Not that negativity should be condoned, but we have lived with it since we were yet unborn, since the world was still young. Let us pay attention to those who pay attention to our shortcomings, to our mistakes to our weaknesses, and let's improve.

 

None will hate you for doing less than them. When there seem to be so many who don't want to believe in you, it is because they are overwhelmed by what you are capable of. The moment everyone is for you and none against you, know that you ain't doing great. Without these ridicules we may never experience emotional growth. Emotional intelligence is vital and can take you far beyond the borders of your own imagination, far beyond the boundaries of your wildest dreams.

 

So, count it joy, success, property, magnanimity and abundance, my brother, my sister, when you face various kinds of trials and tribulations, for they are the opportunity you so need to make it big in life. And those who ridicule you, oppress you, undermine you, spread rumours and negative things about you, will one day surrender or even come to you and ask "how do you it, china?". Those riducles, hatred, rumours and all such ill things provide great opportunity for you to grow, to do more, to be more!

Kana Wamutaka Musikana

BY MORDECAI A. HAMUTYINEI

Ichokwadi kuti inenge nhamo zvayo
Iyo ine hama dzedu vanasikana.
Nyangwe rudo rwukamubaya mwoyo somunzwa
Haakwanisi kutanga iye kurupa kumukomana.
Anoita zvose zvishereketo zvokukwezva
Asi kuti agotanga iye zvinogozha.
Zviri mumwoyo make zviri muninga, angatozviburitsa chete
Kana wamutanga musikana.

Uchitanga kumuona chete hana yako inorova.
Unobvuma kuti itsvarakadenga yado mwoyo.
Kunonoka usati wasvika, chingoti, ‘Ndinokuda’,
Unoona mwana ovhunduka, vhudzi rake kuti nyanyanya!
Kwauri ruziso kape, ndiye ramutuku sehandira;
Shoko rake ndiro rimwe, ‘Handikudi’.
Chirega uchiona mazauone, matindingoma,
Kana wamutanga musikana.

Hoyo zvino mwanasikana washaya shoko.
Otarisa pasi, otarise divi, otarisa mudenga.
Chimuti chotorwa chombotsengwa-tsengwa.
Otora rushamhu opura mashizha zvenhando.
Ongovhuna gumbo mwene sokuzvida.
Kana zvadai chifarira, ndoozvaanoita
Kana wamutanga musikana.

Kungoti bhi nehope rwauya rugwaro,
Mashoko akanyorwamo gumi nefararira.
Rako riya rinongotenderedzwa nebwoni.
Kuti aritaure zvakone n’anga.
Pamwe pakanzi, ‘Mudiw…’, ndokudzimwa.
Pamwe pakanzi, ‘Ndinokud…’, ndokudzimwazve.
Ichokwadi anoshaya nezano rose
Kana wamutanga musikana.

Pamwe ramangwani chienda kwaari uone,
Uchinatsa kumubvunza kana auya kutsime.
“Ko, washinga kuramba uhosi hwandanga ndakupa here?”
Hapoka, chauya chazuro, chiona zvoitwa.
Anomboti pamupfuti, pamutondo, dzamara zvagombera,
Wozonzwa, “Bva, ah, ndada hangu!”
Kazhinji ndozvaanoita
Kana wamutanga musikana.

Zvino chirega uchiona chava chipatapata
Wabata chakati tende, mazangandari.
Woira woriswa semhou ine nhinjana.
Kungoti tsvenzu wotobvunzwa kwawaswera.
Rwava rudo zvino, hapachina kupokana.
Iwe maheu wonwa naanoera.
Vehama, ndozvazvinoita parudzi rwedu
Kana wamutanga musikana.

Three activities to grow your business

They say that business is simple, but it is definitely not easy. I will explain only three ways in which businesses can grow. Without these three, be assured that your business exists only for a season

1.    Recruit new clients. This is the most difficult and most expensive option and the value your business offers, the ability of your sales staff, your marketing strategy and the extent to which the quality of your product/service meets or exceeds that of the competition, are determining factors in the arsenal of tools at your disposal in persuading consumers to buy from your business. Recruiting a new client cost about 5 times as much as keeping existing clients, and as so, requires hardworking.

2.    Sell more to existing clients. Learn to follow an aggressive price strategy. In other words, package a service/product at special discounted prices – you do not need to recruit new clients. Make sure the existing customers develop the habit of just having to buy anything you have, in bulk, because of quality, price, after sales services (customer support), guarantees, and product positioning among others. Information about changes or improvements in the products/services should be readily available for customers, and must not be misleading

3.    Sell to existing clients more often. Consider a loyalty card or a discount strategy for frequent purchases, customers are enticed by very small tokens of appreciation for their loyalty. Do not sell to or serve a customer and sit on your laurels. Keeping following up on the customer to ensure they are satisfied and require more of your products. A customer might as well feel honoured just to be remembered. Give them special offers, special treatments, and special respect
.
In order to make informed decisions with regards to a suitable strategy, especially to sell more to existing clients, the following dimensions for business growth must be taken into consideration. The underlying assumption is that reliable client and management information is available.

•    The size of the existing client base.
•    Average spending per client.
•    Frequency of spending.
•    Doing a sensitivity analysis – What would the business' turnover be if there is for example an increase of 5, 10, 15, 20 or 50% in client spending?
•    Consider proposals to increase the transaction value. (Ways of "up-selling".)
•    Consider proposals to increase the frequency of purchases.

There are many side-line activities that can be considered to increase a business' turnover and profit. However, these three tools/activities form the basis for further consideration. Watch out for our future posts on Business Growth.

Business Plan Kit

The Excel Business Plan Kit 

A Business Plan is not only used for the purposes of obtaining finance from a Financial Institution. The Business Plan is also referred to as your “Business Map” or ‘Business Campass” which will guide you and keep you focused on your original business idea. This plan needs to be reviewed at least every 6 months and not less than once a year in order to ensure that you do not miss out on ideas you might have originally had. It also affords you the opportunity to make sure that you remain true to the original values of the business that you envisaged.

Excel Business consultancy can assist you with your business and further enhance your idea.

•    We can assist you with the registration of your Company or NGO.
•    We can assess the viability of your business idea.

There are two types of Business Plans:

•    Internal Business Plan: Solely used as a business tool for management purposes to set out clear objectives for the business and to highlight future possible developments within the business.

•    External Business Plan: Used to raise finance, to value a business for sale or purchase, to find or retain a business partner, or establish a strategic alliance with other businesses.

The Business Plan is a Management Tool irrespective of business size and serves four critical functions:

•    It helps to clarify, focus and research the development of the business.
•    It provides a framework for the business strategy to be undertaken in order for the business to develop.
•    The document can be used as a basis for the discussion with third parties who have either a potential or an existing interest in the business such as shareholders, banks or other investors.
•    It sets goals and objectives against which actual performance can be measured and reviewed.
•    If you are seeking outside support, such as finance from a bank or financial institution then this plan is probably your most important Sales Tool that you will ever produce.

Two babies were born on the same day at the same hospital. They lay there and looked at each other. Their families came and took them away. Eighty years later, by a bizarre coincidence, they lay in the same hospital, on their deathbeds, next to each other. One of them looked at the other and said, "So. What did you think?"

Sex and Prayer

Sexual spirituality and spiritual sexuality appear to be oxymorons, but not to those who have been converted to a full biblical perspective on sexuality. There is a deep reason for this. The desire for sexual union and the desire for God are intimately related. God is a God of love. God dwells in the covenant community of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, interpenetrating, mutually indwelling, living for and in one another, finding life in self-giving to the other—all ways of describing what the Orthodox fathers of the church in the fifth century described as perichoresis: the intercommunion of the Godhead in a non-hierarchical community of loving, mutual abiding. Made in the image of God (Genesis 1:26), humankind was built male and female for communion, created to long for mutual abiding, destined to find fulfillment in self-giving. Commenting on how the sexual appetite is so closely related to worship and prayer.

The primitive impulse to deify sexual love was not wholly misguided; it has all the features of great mystical experience, abandon, ecstasy, polarity, dying, rebirth and perfect union. . . . It prompts between human beings those features characteristic of prayer; a noticing, a paying attention, a form of address, a yearning to communicate at ever deeper levels of being, an attempt to reach certain communion with the other.
But there is an important corrective in Scripture: our sexuality arises from our godlikeness; our godlikeness does not arise from our sexuality. So this profound clue to our true dignity as God-imaging creatures, a clue written into our genetic code, our psychological structure and our spiritual nature, is an invitation to seek and worship God in spirit (truly in Spirit) and truth (John 4:23).

So prayer and sexuality are intimately related for both men and women, though differently so. Not surprisingly, many people find themselves sexually aroused when they pray, whether or not they are in the presence of someone of the opposite sex.

Sex and Singleness
Three biblical goals for our personal sexuality are (1) sexual freedom, (2) sexual purity and (3) sexual contentment. Sexual freedom does not mean freedom from constraint but freedom to express our sexuality fully and exclusively within the marriage covenant. When one is not yet married, or is called to the single life (see Singleness), sexual freedom allows us to appreciate the other sex and to welcome our sexual appetites but to refrain from full physical expression outside of the marriage covenant. What is seldom noted about self-control is that it is a by-product of a prayerful life, the result of walking in the Spirit, and not something gained by steeling one’s will or “trying.”

Sexual purity is certainly not dull (read the Song of Songs). To live freely and with sexual purity, we must reduce the amount of stimulation we allow ourselves to receive from magazines, movies, videos and mass media. Job could say that he had made a covenant with his eyes not to look at a woman lustfully (Job 31:1), not an easy thing to do in a sexually saturated culture. Positively, we must increase our attention to God. In a shocking exposé in Leadership magazine, a onetime spiritual director anonymously confided his battle with pornography and perverted sexual behavior. While he found that his attempts at trying to become pure through self-determination and passionate prayers of repentance failed, he was delivered at last by the simple recognition that his addiction to sex was short-changing his intimacy with God. Love of God, that expulsive power of a new affection, purged lesser loves and even lust.

Sexual contentment, rather than sexual fulfilment, is a worthy Christian goal. The secret of contentment for Paul and ourselves is the practice of thanksgiving and continuing dependence on God (Phil. 4:6, 13). Thanksgiving is essential for single people who will be tempted to seek fulfilment mainly in themselves (see Masturbation) or in dating relationships that are impure. Single people will find their sexual repose by directing their love with all of its passion to the loving community of Father, Son and Holy Spirit, through which literally we experience God as our spouse (Isaiah 54:5).

In conclusion, sex is contemplative. This most down-to-earth daily stirring within us invites us heavenward. It does this by insisting through the very fibres of our being that we were built for love and built for the God who is love. It causes us daily to wonder at the mystery of complementarity, inviting us into a social experience in which there is more unity because of the diversity of male and female, just as God is more one because God is three. It demands of us more than raw, unaided human nature can deliver, a life of self-sacrifice and abiding contentment, qualities that can come only by practicing the presence of God. Finally, it invites us to live for God and his kingdom. As C. S. Lewis once said, if we find that nothing in this world and life fully satisfies us, it is a powerful indication that we were made for another life and another world. In some way beyond our imagination, human marriage will be transcended (Matthew 22:30) and fulfilled. Indeed, we will not give or receive in marriage because we will all be married in the completely humanized new heaven and new earth, where God’s people daily delight in being the bride of God (Rev. 19:7; Rev. 21:2).
