Success 101: How to make it to the top
Aug 07, 2009
HAS life become a drag for you? Are you tired of waking up in the morning, going to work, returning home in the evening, only to repeat the routine the next day? Would you like a change of pace without getting a new spouse, family or job?
Fagil Mandy, an education consultant, says the answer lies in getting a balanced mind, body and soul. While Mandy was addressing Uganda Revenue Staff recently at their Training School in Lugogo RYTTER MUZIRA wrote down and shares some ideas she gleaned from Mandy on how to achieve balance
Sharpen your mind
Feed your brain with politics, nature, history, sports, people, music and art because knowledge is power. You do not have to go to school to learn these things; just read. You will not only get new ideas on how to improve your life, but you may also get creative solutions to your problems. Mandy warns that if you are not knowledgeable, you are a danger to your family and workplace.
Love yourself
To have a balanced heart, polish and develop the fundamental emotions of love, hope, faith and passion. Mandy says our attitude towards life dictates how we manage the day-to-day rigours of life.
Be passionate
“Develop a desire to succeed and excel. Love your job, country and family and be passionate in whatever you do. He advises one to: “Desist from negative emotions like anger, jealousy, hatred, greed, superstition and fear.â€
Enjoy sex
Always enjoy sex because it cleanses and ignites the mind, body and spirit.
The level of the positive emotions one has always stimulates how one performs at work and home.
Be active
To attain a balanced body, it is imperative that you keep it active so as to be productive. Productivity is the ability to use your mind, emotions and body to produce quality results.
To gauge your productivity, just ask yourself how many things your body can do.
So how does one balance family and work after getting balanced?
Mandy says with a balanced personality, one can pinpoint obstacles that hinder one’s ability to balance work and family.
Some such obstacles are poor time and financial management, lack of clear roles and responsibilities both at home and work and leading complicated lives. “Many Ugandans waste a lot of time in procrastination, gossip, indiscriminately attending social functions and watching unproductive entertainment programmes instead of doing productive work.
They end up spending a lot of time in office and get home late. Eliminate such time wasters. Do the right productive things at the right time,†Mandy says.
He concludes that one needs to lead a simple life, making life easier to balance and manage.
