WEWE NI WEWE.........

Usiruhusu mtu, au kitu chochote, mtu mwenye nguvu lakini hana hekima, busara na utu akuvunje moyo, au aiharibu njia yako kwa maneno ya dharau, kukatisha tamaa, kukwambia hujui wala huwezi.
åKama Mungu aliruhusu uzaliwe, maana yake Mungu alikuamini.
å Mungu amekupa talanta, uwezo wa pekee na sifa ya kwako tu.
åKuna jambo Mungu anatamani litimie kupitia wewe....
>Hivyo basi lazima ufahamu kwamba, njia ya mafanikio sio lelema, ina changamoto nyingi sana ambazo zinakuhitaji wewe kwanza ujijue kuwa wewe ni nani, kwa nini ulizaliwa, kwa nini upo hapo ulipo, unaenda wapi, na unaenda kufanya nini ? Hapo ndipo inaweza kukabiliana na changamoto yoyote njiani.

Kama hujijui basi ni rahisi kuyumbishwa, kukatishwa tamaa, kuhamishwa kwenye lengo na kusudi la kuzaliwa kwako..............

Tuna wazazi, viongozi, walezi, walimu, kaka & Dada, babu & Bibi, shangazi & mjomba hawa wanaweza kuwa wazuri kwako au wabaya kwako pia, hivyo tafuta kujijua kuwa wewe ni nani, hata wakija kwa lengo la kukuhamisha kwenye ndoto yako basi wakukute umekwisha jitambua.
Mafanikio ya mtu yako mikononi mwake yeye mwenyewe, wengine ni washauri wa pembeni lakini "constructor of your life is you".

Wapo watu duniani wanaamini kuwa wao ni sahihi daima, hawaruhusu wengine kuchipua mbele yao, any potential wakiona kwa kijana wanatumia nguvu kubwa kuizima, wanadharau, wajuzi wa kila kitu, wabinafsi, wakosoaji sio wajenzi, maboss sio viongozi, wamelewa madaraka na sifa, kwao miili yao sio chakula cha udogo, wanaishi milele.......hao ni hatari sana watambue na kuwaepuka.

Pamoja na kwamba dhahabu ili ing'ae inahitaji moto, vilevile mmea ukisongwa sana na miba pamoja na magugu hutoa matunda dhaifu na wakati mwingine kutokutoa kabisa jihadhari.

Sio kila jambo gumu ni changamoto bali ni vitu vya kuepuka, daima ukiona mto unaspeed ya maji kubali kusubili upungue au utafute namna nyingine ya kuvuka mto huo.

Njia nzuri ya kufanikiwa ni
1. Kumshukuru Mungu kwa kuwa ulivyo
2. Kujitambua, kujikubali na kujiamini
3. Kuwa na maarifa sahihi na ya wakati.
4. Kuwa wewe kwanza kabla ya kupokea ushauri
5. Epuka majungu,fitina na unafiki
6. Mwombe Mungu akujalie hekima, busara, na namna njema ya kuishi na watu.
> Wewe ni Wewe, Mimi ni Mimi, yule ni yule, pamoja na kwamba tunahitajiana lakini wewe ndiye C.E.O wa maisha yako.
Mfanye Mungu namba moja kwa kila kitu, atakubariki, atakupa maarifa, utulivu ambao utakufanya uamue vyema kwa kila jambo.
I love you brother & sister.

JE UNAISHI VILE ULITAKA KUWA HAPO KABLA..........?

..Vijana wengi tumekuwa na ndoto kubwa maishani, kila mtu ukimuuliza kuhusu maisha yake anakuambia nataka kuwa mtu Fulani hapo baadae.
Maisha haya yameanza tangu tukiwa watoto wadogo, ukiulizwa swali, jibu lake nataka kuwa daktari, Rubani, mwalimu, raisi nk. Haya ndiyo maisha na mfumo ambao mwanadamu ameumbwa nao, kuishi kwa kutamani kuwa mtu Fulani au kuwa sehemu fulani baada ya muda fulani kupita.
Pamoja na ndoto na malengo mengi tuliyonayo, changamoto kubwa imebaki katika kuyafikia yale tunayoyatamani au kuyaota, wengi tumefeli kuwa vile tulitaka kuwa na kuna sababu nyingi ambazo zinachangia kutokuishi maisha ya ndoto zetu  either kwa sababu za kimazingira, malezi, mifumo na mambo mengine kibao.

Pamoja na sababu nyingi ambazo zinaweza kuwa ndiyo sababu ya kutokufikia shauku na matanio ya mioyo yetu kuwa mahali fulani, lakini hizi ndizo sababu kubwa zinazowafanya watu wengi kutokutimiza malengo na ndoto zao.

1. Kutamka na kutenda kuna ombwe.
Wengi ni wazungumzaji ila sio watekelezaji wa kile wanachokizungumza na kukifikiri, unakuta mtu ana mipango mizuri lakini kufanyia kazi maono, ndoto, malengo, mipango na anachokizungumza ndiyo hapo changamoto inapoanzia.

2. Mipango mingi ambayo ni ngumu kutekelezeka.
Watu wengi wamekuwa wakiishi kwenye malengo mengi makubwa ambayo wakati mwingine ni makubwa na mengi ukilinganisha na uwezo wa mtu, mwisho wa siku anachopanga na anachotenda ni tofauti anakuwa confused na anaishindwa kujua aanze na lipi amalize na kipi au afanye jambo gani maana ana malengo mengi uwezo mdogo.

3. Watu wa sababu na lawama.
Watu wengi tunaishi kwenye kubebesha watu wengine mizigo ya lawama na kutengeneza sababu ambazo ni excuses zisizo na sababu za msingi sana mfano mtu unakuta ansema ningesoma, ningezaliwa sehemu fulani au nisingezaliwa kwenye umasikini, baba na mama wasingekufa mapema nk, lawama na malalamiko yasiyo na maana yamewafanya watu wengi kuishi maisha ambayo hawakuyatarajia kuyaishi hapo kabla.

4. Kupeperushwa na stori za vijiweni/kukosa msimamo wa kusimamia malengo na ndoto.
Watu wameshindwa kuishi maisha yenye mipango halisi ya maisha yao kwa sababu wamekuwa kama Bendera, akisikia stori Fulani ya kuvutia kuhusu mafanikio basi yuko tayari kuondoka kwenye malengo na mipango yake, mfano, mtu akisikia biashara Fulani inalipa, bila utafiti anaacha biashara yake na kuhamia huko, watu wengi wamekuwa ni watu wa kutanga tanga muda mwingi.

5.kutokutambua uwezo halisi/kutokujijua
Watu wengi hawajijui, hajui ana uwezo gani, hii inapelekea kufanya kila kitu kilichopo mbele yake. Kujitambua na kutambua uwezo wako ni moja ya nyenzo inayoweza kumfanya mtu akaishi kwenye ndoto na malengo yake.

6.Kutokutambua nyakati.
Kumbuka kwenye maisha kuna wakati wa kuandaa shamba, kulima, kupanda mbegu, kuota kwa mbegu, kumwagilia na kupalilia, kuweka  dawa, mazao kuanza kutoa matunda, hatimae matunda au mazao kukomaa. Wengi tunatamani kuanzia kwenye ukomavu wa matunda kwa sababu hatutaki kuchomwa na miba, jua, kunyeshewa mvua ila tunataka kula.

7.Hatukubali vile tulivyo.
Baadhi yetu huwa hatukubali kuwa tulivyo kwa wakati uliopo, hatupendi kuonekana uhalisia wetu kitu ambacho kimetufanya watu wengi kuishi kwa aibu na kuchagua kazi. Kumbuka kuna wakati unaenda mwanza ukitokea Dar unalazimika kupita  Kenya kwa sababu ya sababu za namna ulivyo, usilazimishe kula Serena hotel wakati uwezo wako ni kula kwa mama Ashura.

8.Elimu, Baba alikuwa Fulani.
Hadhi imewafanya watu wengi sana hasa vijana kuondoka kwenye malengo yao na ndoto hasa kwenye kipindi hiki ambacho ajira zimekuwa ngumu kupita Jana. Nikukumbushe kwamba ujenzi wa ndoto huanza na chochote ulichonacho. Mtu akitaka kuwa raisi, anaanza na levels za chini, diwani, au mbunge haya yote ni madaraja ya kutimiza malengo yake. Wakati mwingine sio straight Bali inamikunjo, milima na mambonde lakini haiondoi ukwel kwamba ndoto yako inatimia pale tu ubapokuwa na dhamira ya kweli toka moyoni.

9.Kutokufanya jambo ni kujipunguzia connections na firsa.
Fursa huja kwa namna ya ajabu sana, fursa sio kuwa na namba ya mtu fulani, sio kuwa karibu na viobgozi Bali wakati na mahali sahihi pakupata connection na fursa ni kile kidogo ulichoamua kukipa thamani, mfano kijana mwenye degree muuza genge la nyanya, matunda na mbogamboga anakutana na watu wangapi na wa aina gani kwa siku, je boda boda, huba driver nk. Je ni sawa na mkaaji ?.

Opportunities come where there is a beginning.
Hivyo basi hizi ni sababu na changamoto ambazo zimewafanya watu wengi na zinaendelea kuwatafuna watu wengi bila kujua, wengi wakiamini ipo siku watatoboa bila hata kuwa na chochote mkononi.

USIKUBALI CHANGAMOTO NA SHIDA ZIKUONDOE KWENYE NJIA YA KUELEKEA MALENGO NA NDOTO ZAKO.

Tangu mwanzo wa muundo wa dunia, ukisoma historia ya dunia kwa mfumo wa maisha ya kawaida, kwa mitume na manabii walipitia changamoto, shida, vikwazo vingi mpaka kufikia malengo, ndoto hata mafanikio ya ambacho walilenga kukifanikisha hapa duniani.

Ndivyo ilivyo hata kwenye ulimwengu tulio nao leo, mafanikio ya kila mtu yamezungukwa na vikwazo, changamoto, mambo mengi ya kukatisha tamaa, kiasi kwamba sio rahisi kupasua na kufikia malengo na ndoto kama utaruhusu changamoto hizo zikuondoe kwenye njia.

Dhahabu haiwezi kuwa dhahabu kama haijapitia mchakato sahihi wa kupatikana. Ni nini maana yake: Ni kwamba kitu chochote kizuri kinahitaji mtu kujitoa, kufanya kazi kwa bidii na kwa ufanisi mkubwa ili kufikia kitu au jambo hilo zuri.

> Ili ufaulu masomo inakulazimisha kusoma kwa bidii na kwakutumia muda mwingi kusoma, kujadili na kujiepusha na mambo mengine ambayo yanaweza kuwa sababu ya wewe kufeli.

>Ukitaka kuwa mwimbaji mzuri unahitaji muda mwingi wa kufanya mazoezi, kusikiliza wengine wanafanya nini, kujifunza kila wakati.

>Ukitaka kuwa tajiri na huna misingi mizuri ya mitaji, huhitaji aibu katika kupambana ili kuweza kutoka mahali ulipo kwenda eneo lingine ambalo unataka kufika, utafanya kazi zisizofaa kwa macho ya kawaida lakini ndo unapaswa kufanya ili kesho yako iheshimike.

>Ukiwa na mtaji na unatokea mazingira mazuri kiuchumi and you're well supported lakini bila kuwa makini, kujinyima, kuongeza ubunifu kwenye biashara au kazi yako utajikuta unafeli.

√ Kwa hiyo unahitajika kufanya kazi kweli kweli katika eneo ulilopo, lakini pia kumbuka yako mengi magumu na yakukatisha tamaa kama hutojipanga kukabiliana nayo unaweza jikuta unaishia njiani,

Chakufanya...........

Kumbuka kuna nyakati ngumu na majira magumu ambayo ni kama Mungu haoni jitihada, nguvu, na maarifa mengi unayotumia ili kuyafanya maisha yako kuwa bora na mazuri

Kumbuka hata katika hayo Mungu amekuamini, hali yako uliyo nayo leo ni ya muda tu wala siyo ya kudumu, cha msingi endelea kupambana, kufanya kazi kwa bidii katika nafasi uliyopo, omba Mungu ipo siku utafanikiwa na kuwasimulia wengine.

> Changamoto ni silaha yako
> Mungu amekuamini na anajua unaweza. Kuna wakati tunapitia maisha yakuumiza kuondokewa na watu wakaribu, Baba, Mama, mke, kuachwa na mpenzi au mke/Mume lakini yote hayo yanakuja kwa sababu Mungu amekuamini sana.

> Don't be taken away from your focus, plans, kimbia kwa kadiri uwezavyo hiyo ndiyo silaha yakufikia unapotaka

Yesu aliumia na alipitia mateso kufikia lengo why not you ?. Zifanye changamoto kuwa sehemu za maisha na huwezi kuzimaliza na kila hatua unayopiga ndo zinavyozidi kuwa nyingi lakini pia katika hayo njia za kutatua zipo.

Mungu amekuamini, usimwangushe chini, pigana, pambania mafanikio yako huo ndo msingi sahihi wa maisha ya mtu mwenye lengo la kutimiza ndoto zake.

NI WEWE MWENYE MAAMZI NA MAISHA YAKO.

Hello Friend.
Nia yakufikia ndoto na malengo yako unayo wewe mwenyewe, lakini changamoto na vizuizi vimekuwa vingi na wakati mwingine ni vikubwa kuliko nguvu na uwezo ulio nao wewe, na kuna wakati unafikia mahali unakata tamaa. Lakini ni............

Mambo machache unapaswa kujifunza na kuelewa kwamba, haya yote yanakuja kwa sababu kwanza, Mungu amekuamini na ana uhakika kabisa kwa nguvu na uwezo alioweka ndani yako unaweza kukabiliana na aina hizo za changamoto na wewe ndo mtu sahihi kupitia changamoto au milima hiyo ya maisha.

Lengo ni kwamba anakunoa ili uwe kisu kikali zaidi ambacho kitakuwa na uwezo wakulalua kila aina ya jambo liliko mbele yako.

Huwezi kuwa mwalimu mzuri wa nyimbo, ujasiriamali, mambo ya kijamii, huduma kwenye nyumba za ibada bila kupitishwa.

Huwezi kuwa mwandishi, public speaker, motivational speaker simply, huwezi kumiliki fedha kwa njia rahisi kesho utashindwa na utaanguka na kukata tamaa na kufa kabisa.

Dhahabu haiwezi kuwa dhahabu safi bila kupita kwenye moto, moto unaifanya ing'ae na thamani yake kupanda na kila mtu kuihitaji kwa gharama yoyote ile. Ndivyo ilivyo hata kwenye maisha yetu kama binadamu.

Tunakuwa vizuri zaidi kwenye maeneo ya kazi zetu, kwenye matumizi ya vipaji vyetu pale tu inapotokea umepambana sana kufikia mahali ambapo ulitamani kuwa hapo kabla.

Mapambano ya muda mrefu ambayo ulikutana nayo njiani, ndiyo sababu ya wewe kuthamini kazi uliyo nayo, kipaji ambacho wengine wanacho ila bado hawajafika pale ulipo wewe Leo na wanatamani siku moja wawe hapo lakini bado wako mbaaali sana.

Kwa hiyo usikatishwe tamaa na vikwazo vichache vilivyopo njiani, pambana hakikisha focus yako iko klia isiyoyumbishwa na pepo za kiangazi ambazo zina mwisho na masika yaja.

Usiyumbishwe na kelele za watu hasa ambao wamefanikiwa na kushindwa, maana kila mtu anamtazamo na mawazo yake, hivyo ukiwasikiliza utapotea maana miruzi mingi humpoteza mbwa asie na mmiliki bali mbwa anaemjua bwana wake huitambua sauti ya mruzi wa bwana wake, kwa hiyo usie mbwa mwitu asie na bwana wake.

Maamzi ya kufika mbali kihuduma, kibiashara na kwenye eneo lolote ulilopo iko mikononi mwako, hakuna mtu anaweza kuyaamua maisha yako yaweje kesho isipokuwa wewe mwenyewe, sio mazingira, sio Sera za nchi sio changamoto yoyote bali ni wewe.

>Maamzi yako ndiyo dira yako
>Malengo yako ndiyo dira yako
>Kichwa chako ndo dira yako
>uwazavyo ndivyo unavyoiamua kesho yako.
>Uwezo na kipaji ndani yako ni urithi wa Mungu.

Mwisho
Jitathimini na kujipambanua kama unaona kuwa unapita kwenye njia sahihi ya kuifuluzia ndoto yako

NOTES OF LEADERSHIP.

What is Situational Leadership?

How Flexibility Leads to Success

Situational leadership is an adaptive leadership style.

This strategy encourages leaders to take stock of their team members, weigh the many variables in their workplace and choose the leadership style that best fits their goals and circumstances.

In the words of leadership theorist Ken Blanchard, “In the past a leader was a boss. Today’s leaders can no longer lead solely based on positional power.”

Situational leadership is the model of choice for organizations around the world that want to do the following:

1.Develop people and workgroups
Establish rapport and to bring out the best in their people
Use a common leadership style across all units in an organization, be it local, national, or international

Situational leadership defined
Situational leadership is flexible. It adapts to the existing work environment and the needs of the organization. Situational leadership is not based on a specific skill of the leader; instead, he or she modifies the style of management to suit the requirements of the organization.
One of the keys to situational leadership is adaptability. Leaders must be able to move from one leadership style to another to meet the changing needs of an organization and its employees. These leaders must have the insight to understand when to change their management style and what leadership strategy fits each new paradigm.
There are two mainstream models of situational leadership, one described by Daniel Goleman and another by Ken Blanchard and Paul Hershey.
The Goleman theory of situational leadership
Daniel Goleman, the author of “Emotional Intelligence,” defines six styles within situational leadership.
1. Coaching leaders , who work on an individual’s personal development as well as job-related skills. This style works best with people who know their limitations and are open to change.
2. Pacesetting leaders , who set very high expectations for their followers. This style works best with self-starters who are highly motivated. The leader leads by example. This style is used sparingly since it can lead to follower burnout.
3. Democratic leaders , who give followers a vote in almost all decisions. When used in optimal conditions, it can build flexibility and responsibility within the group. This style is, however, time consuming and is not the best style if deadlines are looming.
4. Affiliative leaders , who put employees first. This style is used when morale is very low. The leader uses praise and helpfulness to build up the team’s confidence. This style may risk poor performance when team building is happening.
5. Authoritative leaders , who are very good at analyzing problems and identifying challenges. This style is good in an organization that is drifting aimlessly. This leader will allow his or her followers to help figure out how to solve a problem.
6. Coercive leaders , who tell their subordinates what to do. They have a very clear vision of the endgame and how to reach it. This style is good in disasters or if an organization requires a total overhaul.
Situational leadership according to Blanchard and Hersey
The second model is based on the work done by Blanchard and Hersey. Their theory is based on two concepts: leadership itself, and the developmental level of the follower. Blanchard and Hersey developed a matrix consisting of four styles:
1. Telling leaders = S1 (specific guidance and close supervision): These leaders make decisions and communicate them to others. They create the roles and objectives and expect others to accept them. Communication is usually one way. This style is most effective in a disaster or when repetitive results are required.
2. Selling = S2 (explaining and persuading): These leaders may create the roles and objectives for others, but they are also open to suggestions and opinions. They “sell” their ideas to others in order to gain cooperation.
3. Participating = S3 (sharing and facilitating): These leaders leave decisions to their followers. Although they may participate in the decision-making process, the ultimate choice is left to employees.
4. Delegating = S4 (letting others do it): These leaders are responsible for their teams, but provide minimum guidance to workers or help to solve problems. They may be asked from time to time to help with decision-making.
Stages of employee development in situational leadership
Along with leadership qualities, Blanchard and Hersey defined four types of development for followers or employees:
1. Low Competence; High Commitment
2. Some Competence: Low Commitment
3. High Competence: Variable Commitment
4. High Competence: High Commitment
Blanchard and Hersey also suggest that each of the four approaches should be paired with different “maturity levels” among team members. For example, the lowest maturity level (M1) should work best with the “telling” style (S1), while the highest maturity level (M4) should be most responsive to the “delegating” approach (S4).
Differences between situational leadership and other leadership styles
The difference between situational leadership and other leadership styles is that situational leadership incorporates many different techniques. The style of choice depends upon the organization’s environment and the competence and commitment of its followers.
History of situational leadership
In 1969, Blanchard and Hersey developed situational leadership theory in their classic book “Management of Organizational Behavior.” This theory was first called the “Life Cycle Theory of Leadership.” During the mid-1970s, it was renamed the situational leadership theory.
In the late 1970s and early 1980s, the two developed their own styles. Blanchard’s first book, “The One-Minute Manager,” came out in 1982. Hersey further developed the situational leadership model in his 1985 book “The Situational Leader.” Both men have continued to refine and update their situational leadership theories.
Blanchard said situational leaders tend to choose between “directive behavior” (what and how) and “supportive behavior” (developing commitment, initiative, and positive attitudes). The maturity level concept for Situational Leadership II was revised to incorporate individual development levels.
Examples of situational leadership
Blanchard and his situational leadership collaborators have provided detailed case studies involving companies and public institutions. Prominent examples include Adobe, WD-40, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield, British Telecom, the city of Battle Creek, Michigan, Genentech, the San Diego Padres, and the Royal New Zealand Navy.
Any team environment that has frequent turnover provides an opportunity to apply situational leadership principles. Sports teams, for instance, represent clear examples of situational leadership because team rosters are constantly changing.
One president and two of the most successful coaches in college basketball history have attributed much of their success to how they adapted to changing players and circumstances.
Dwight Eisenhower
Dwight D. Eisenhower was the president of the United States after World War II. He was also the Allied Commander during the war. He was known for his diplomacy and his ability to get the allied leaders to work together to defeat the Nazi war machine. His background in the military taught him how to order and direct military exercises, and he needed to be a statesman not only to manage the strong personalities of the allied leaders, but to run for president and then win two terms of office.
Pat Summitt
Patricia Sue Summitt was the head coach of the Tennessee Lady Volunteers for over 38 years. Every few years, she was faced with building a whole new basketball team. Despite that, she ended her career with a 1,098-208 overall record as a basketball coach. She was named head coach for the U.S. women’s basketball team in the 1984 Olympics, where the team won a gold medal.
John Wooden
John Wooden was named the head coach of UCLA’s men’s basketball team. In his first eight years, he won three Pacific Coast championships. During that time he had team members graduate and new members start on the team. Beginning with the 1963-64 season, the team won seven straight championships.
UCLA’s record 88-game winning streak and string of championships ended in 1974. One of his quotes reflects his adaptive and situational leadership philosophy: “When you’re through learning, you’re through.”
Situational leadership quotations
How do professionals become better situational leaders? It might be helpful to consider these quotes from experienced leaders and apply them to your circumstances:
Margaret Wheatley : “Leadership is a series of behaviors rather than a role for heroes.”
Colin Powell : “Leadership is solving problems.”
Mahatma Gandhi: “I suppose leadership at one time meant muscles, but today it means getting along with people.”
John D. Rockefeller: “Good leadership consists of showing average people how to do the work of superior people.”
Margaret Thatcher: “You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.”
John Wooden: “It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts.”
Situational leadership style requirements
Here are some of the characteristics of the situational leadership style:
Insight : The situational leader must be able to understand the needs of the followers, then adjust his or her management style to meet those needs
Flexibility : Situational leaders must be able to move seamlessly from one type of leadership style to another

Trust : The leader must be able gain his or her followers’ trust and confidence

Problem solving : The situational leader must be able to solve problems, such as how to get a job done using the best leadership style available

Coach : The situational leader must be able to evaluate the maturity and competence of the followers and then apply the right strategy to enhance the follower and their personal character
Advantages and disadvantages of situational leadership

Situational leadership does not work well in all circumstances. Let’s look at the advantages and disadvantages of the leadership style:
Situational leadership pros:

Easy to use: When a leader has the right style, he or she knows it

Simple: All the leader needs to do is evaluate the situation and apply the correct leadership style
Intuitive appeal: With the right type of leader, this style is comfortable

Leaders have permission to change management styles as they see fit
Situational leadership cons:

This North American style of leadership does not take into consideration priorities and communication styles of other cultures
It ignores the differences between female and male managers

Situational leaders can divert attention away from long-term strategies and politics
Benefits of situational leadership

“What is the best leadership style?” Hersey and Blanchard found it fruitless to provide one answer to this question. Everything depends on the specific situation, which is why they collaborated to develop the situational leadership model.

Situational leadership means “choosing the right leadership style for the right people,” according to Blanchard and Hersey. It also depends on the competence and maturity of the followers. This is a time in history when leaders look less like bosses and more like partners.

FAIDA YA KUWA MWAMINIFU

Mtu kumwamini mtu inaweza kuwa ngumu sana. Hii inatokana na baadhi ya watu kutendwa vibaya na watu ambao awali walijenga imani kwao lakini walioamini wakafanya kinyume na vile walitarajiwa kuwa hapo awali.

Kadri miaka inavyokwenda jambo kuaminika kwenye jamii limekuwa likipungua kila siku, kuanzia kwenye mahusiano ya ukoo, familia, ndugu jamaa na marafiki, mahusiano ya kimapenzi, na mambo mengine mengi ndani ya jamii yetu Tanzania hata duniani kwa ujumla.

Watu wengi wamepoteza uaminifu sana kwa sababu ya tabia yakutokuwa waaminifu, mtu anaweza akapewa pesa, au akatendewa jambo Fulani lakini mwisho wa siku matokeo yake yanakuwa hasi ambayo ni kinyume na matarajio

Jambo limetokea hata kwenye ngazi za kitaaluma, makazini, hata kwenye maeneo ya dini ambayo kwa kifupi yalikuwa ni maeneo yaliyoaminiwa na kuaminika zaidi ndani ya jamii.

Yapo mambo mengi yanachangia hali hii kutokea lakini mwisho wa siku hitimisho lake ni kwamba tabia ni hali ambayo mtu akiiendekeza inaweza kuwa sugu na kuathili moja kwa moja mfumo mzima wa maisha yake.

Ubinafsi, kutokufanya kazi, mazoea, kuuma kwa roho unapotaka kurejesha fedha ya uliyokopa, kujiendekeza na tabia Fulani, ulevi, udokozi, maisha ya kijamaa kutawala, kutokuthamini kitu au jambo la mwenzako, ubabe, utani uliovuka mipaka, kukosa hekima na busara, ugumu wa mioyo na kuishi maisha bandia ambayo hayana uhalisia na maisha halisi ya kwako hivyo watu vile wanakutazama na uhalisia wako ni tofauti kabisa, kutokuwa wakweli na kutumia njia za uongo ili kukidhi haja ya mahitaji yetu.

Hizi ni baadhi ya tabia ambazo zimechangia kwa kiasi kikubwa sana kupunguza uaminifu kwa watu wengi bila kujua madhara ya kukosa uaminifu kwa watu, jamii hata maeneo ya kitaaluma na maofsini ambapo tunafanya kazi kwa kuajiliwa au kujiajiri.

KATIKA SOMO HILI TUTAJIFUNZA MATOKEO CHANYA YAKUWA MWAMINIFU KATIKA JAMBO LOLOTE.

Hakuna jambo jema kwa mtu kama kuwa mwaminifu yeye mwenyewe binafsi, kwa wazazi wake, watoto, kazini, kanisani/msikitini na kwenye jamii kwa ujumla. Zifuatazo ni faida za kuwa mwaminifu.

1. Kuaminika zaidi
Moja ya faida kubwa ya uaminifu ni jamii kukuamini, kazini, kwako au kwa wateja wako na kama wewe ni mfanyabiashara na ni mwaminifu kwa wateja wako, unafungua kwa wakati, unawahudumia vizuri kwa lugha mzuri na yakupendeza, bei sio za ubabaishaji, mtu akiacha pesa yake anaikuta, basi utajijengea idadi kubwa ya wateja kwa sababu ya uaminifu wako wao kwa wao watapeana taarifa zako,

2. Hujenga mahusiano imara na bora.
Ukiwa mwaminifu kwa jambo lolote lile lazima mahusiano yako na watu yatakuwa mazuri, iwe ni kazini, shuleni, kwenye nyumba za ibada, kwenye sehemu za mahitaji na sehemu nyingine nyingi hutasikia migongano na lawama kutoka kwa watu husika ambao labda unafanya nao kazi, bosi wako, walimu au wanafunzi, ndoa yako nk. Maeneo hayo yote yatakuwa bora na imara hivyo uaminifu ni jambo nyeti sana na ni vyema kulitilia mkazo na kulitimiza.

3. Huimarisha ushirikiano.
Mtu mwaminifu huwa na ushirika mzuri na watu wenzake, mfano wewe kama ni boss kuwalipa wafanyakazi wako kwa wakati, kutimiza ahadi zako au mzazi kutimiza ahadi unazoahidi kwa watoto au mke hii inatoa motisha na ushirika mzuri toka kwa wafanya kazi au kwa watoto kumfurahia baba au mama yao. Vile vile hata wafanyakazi wakitimiza kazi zao kwa uaminifu ushirika huwa ni mzuri kati yao na kiongozi wao. Na maeneo mengine ambayo sijayataja kama mifano hai kwenye maisha yetu.

4.Utapewa nafasi zaidi.
Hii hutokea kwenye jamii, makazini na hata nyumbani. Unapokuwa mwaminifu ndipo nafasi ya kupewa nafasi zaidi iwe ni kazini, nyumbani kwa wazazi basi nafasi hizo huwa ni kubwa na hata maeneo mengine mengi.

5.Utakula vya sirini.
Mtoto mtii na mwaminifu kwa wazazi wake hula vya uvunguni kwa sababu huyu mtoto hutekeleza majukumu yake kama mtoto vyema bila kusukumwa wala kubembelezwa na anajua wajibu wake. Ndivyo hivyo hata kwenye familia, jamii kwenye biashara, kazini  ni rahisi kushirikishwa mambo makubwa ya kiofsi kwa sababu wanajua wewe ni mwaminifu katika kutimiza, kutekeleza na kutunza siri za kampuni vyema hivyo ni rahisi kupata taarifa mapema.

6.Ni rahisi kusaidika.
Mtu mwaminifu huwa anatengeneza mazingira mazuri ya kupata msaada kwa haraka either wa kifedha, kimawazo au msaada wowote ule sababu kubwa ni ule uaminifu aliojijengea kwenye mazingira  yake ya maisha, iwe kwenye biashara, benki, nyumbani, kazini na maeneo mengine mengi ambayo yanamhusu.

7.Ni njia bora ya kuimarisha ndoa na mahusiano

Hakuna kitu kizuri kwenye mahusiano au ndoa kama uaminifu. Uaminifu ni ufunguo wa furaha ndani ya ndoa, ni ufunguo wa mafanikio na Uhuru wa nafsi, ufunguo wa kuyaona mahusiano  au ndoa yako ni ya maana kuliko zingine na kuongeza thamani ya penzi lenu ambalo litastawi na kuchanua vyema. Hivyo uaminifu kwenye mahusiano na ndoa ni msingi imara.

8. Utatetewa wakati wa Magumu au mapito.

Changamoto kubwa kwa watu ni kutokuimarisha mahusiano yao na watu wengine kwa njia ya amani, waonevu, wadhurumaji, kufanya mambo bila kujua kuna kesho ambayo inaweza kuwa na uhitaji wa wale watu unaowatendea ndivyo sivyo. Mtu mwaminifu hujiongezea nafasi ya kutimiza malengo yake kwa sababu ukifanya kwa uaminifu kwa watu basi watu hao hao kuna wakati watakuwa daraja lako la kufikia jambo Fulani maishani mwako, katika uonevu utapata watetezi wengi.

9. Mtu huishi kwa amani na furaha.
Mtu mwaminifu huishi kwa furaha, amani lakini pia huwa na upendo, hapendi kuiona nafsi yake ikisononeka, ikiumia kwa kuidhurumu kwa kukosa uaminifu, hupenda kutenda jambo kwa wakati na uaminifu kwa wengine. Kutokana na kufanya mambo hayo kwa uaminifu basi moyo na akili yake hubaki huru bila deni maana amefanya kila jambo kwa wakati na uaminifu.

10.Uaminifu ni dawa
Huondoa msongo wa mawazo, humfanya mtu kuwa huru asiye na hatia, kumbuka mtu asiye mwaminifu huishi kwa uongo, muda wote anatengeneza mazingira ya kuutetea uongo wake na kuuhalalisha bila kujua kuwa anajiumiza binafsi, anatumia nguvu nyingi kupanga namna ya kudanganya wakati kama angeamua tu kuwa mwaminifu nguvu ile ile  angetumia kwa ajili ya kufanya jambo lenye maana maishaini

Kwa hiyo ni vyema kutengeneza mazingira ya kuaminika na wazazi, watoto, mke, mume, jamii, na katika maeneo yote unayokuwa.
Kwa sababu uaminifu hutengeneza mahusiano mazuri na kuaminika na watu, na kama basi ikitokea kuna fursa inatokea watu watakufikiria na kukupa nafasi.
