  I grew up caring too much for everyone, whether you are a friend, a family or just a neighbor next door, if I hear anything bad concerning people, I get worried seriously worried and sometimes scared on their behalf, I don’t know who taught me that, neither do I know when did it start I just found out myself that way. There was a moment when I stopped watching the news cause when I hear bad things I get scared, I shared that to a friend on a conversation he simply answered, why do you worry about other people’s issues? That is theirs to fix, just watch the news and let it be . Simple as that, I was mesmerized and asked myself is it that simple?   Was I an Idiot?   May be I was by worrying and maybe I was not by caring, I took some time to digest what he said and later on, after I read between the lines, I got his point that Its okay to care but it’s not okay to worry . Kindness, Love and Care of our self and others is necessary for our wellbeing and our own joy of course, one th

  To nurses and doctors who stay awake every night to take care of patients, to deliver babies, to operate patients and to save life, you are doing a great job, to all teachers who wake up daily to teach pupils from kindergarten, primary and secondary school to this generation where beauty queens, musicians, models and media personalities are more praised and appreciated more and the rest of civilians who are also doing great job are forgotten. The society should learn to appreciate the hidden treasures of teachers, nurses, doctors, road cleaners, nannies, maids  and all who are actually doing great job but are usually forgotten. There will be a hashtag soon in my Instagram account ( gloriabusungu ) #UnafanyaKaziNzuri, #YouAreDoingAGreatJob, #WeAreProudOfYou, #TunajivuniaKuwaNaWewe #HappyChoicesOrganization I will post everyone who is doing a great job in his/her daily basis, people will be complimented and encouraged to continuing doing the great job that they are doing even when

Do you need anything? Do you seriously need anything absolutely anything? Do what you can with what you have then chill out and give it time. What you seriously need, what you seriously and strongly want will come to you when you least expect it. There is no point in worrying, weeping, swearing or even giving up when you can’t get what you want at a given time. Everything has that is meant to be in your life will find its way to you, if you keep believing and working hard, it will just happen. You may have had a moment when you seriously need a thing to happen or a moment to happen, but it may seem impossible at a time, don’t close doors and block all possibilities of success in your life, don’t shut yourself down, don’t give up, don’t give up in your dreams… it will just come to pass when the time comes, it going to be fine it’s going to be alright just give time. Do you have a habit that you don’t like? Something you seriously want to quit? Do what you can with what you have th

In July 23 th 2020, Tanzania’s lost the Former President Benjamin William Mkapa.   I knew him as the third president of United Republic of Tanzania, maybe I didn’t know much because I’m neither a diplomat nor a politician. This President did a lot for this country, Africa and the world at large, I wonder why all this information about him wasn’t open as they are now that he is gone. Soon After his death I began to hear a lot about him, so many good things that I personally had no idea of. I wish the documentary about him was created when he was still alive so that he could have read it and known it. Thank God he wrote a book My Life, My purpose before he died at least the future generation will know more about him through the book. May his soul rest in eternal peace. It’s the nature of the world to disclose more good information about a person when he is dead, I usually wonder what will happen if all the good things that are said about people when they are gone would be shared when

Are you overwhelmed? Are you lost or tired of everything out of nowhere? Yes, that happens sometimes, because we live in a very busy world, with tight schedules that requires so many things to be done in a short period of time and we usually forget to take care of ourselves because we are busy performing the duties and responsibilities of our carriers, family and society. If that has happened please do the following:- Take a rest, when you feel exhausted or burn out its best that you take a rest to restore yourself. Rest is not idleness, just do something simple like laying on the grass, listening to the mumble of water around the beach, watching the clouds float across the sky or just listen to your favorite music, that can restore your soul and make you more relaxed and productive. Don’t forget your hobby, one of the thing that helps to stay alive is your hobby, what do you like doing? Please make sure you do that as often as you can. People with no hobby can be easily bored a

“Watoto wa sikuhzi hawana adabu,hawaheshimu wakubwa,wanaongea lugha chafu,hawavai mavazi ya heshima,wala hawafanyi vizuri katika kazi wanazoepewa”. Hii ilikua sauti ya mwanamke akilalamika kuhusu kizazi kilichozaliwa mwaka 1990 na kuendelea. Labda yupo sahihi, au Labda hayupo sahihi, simhukumu, lakini sentensi yake ilinikumbusha kuhusu neno moja Garbage in-Garbage out , kwenye komputa na Nyanja nyingine, linatumika kueleze wazo kwamba ukiweka kitu kibovu au chenye thamani hafifu utapata matokeo mabovu. Kabla hatujalalamika kuhusu namna wanaishi tuanglie nini tunawapa. Kwanza watoto wanakua kwenye mazingira ya kelele(miziki, matusi, na televisheni). Na hata kwa sasa maeneo ya vijijini ambapo familia zinaweza kukosa hata radio, watoto wanasikia fujo hizo kwenye pikipiki (bodaboda) ambao wanipiga miziki hiyo kwa uhuru barabarani. Watoto hawa wanachukua yote, na kutoka na umri wao, hawajui kipi bora kwao, hawajui ni mavazi gani wavae, miziki gani wasikilize, magazeti au majarida au

“Today’s children have no manners, they don’t respect elders, they speak foul language, they don’t wear decent clothes neither do they perform well in any activity that they are assigned to”. This was a sound of a woman complaining about the generation born in 1990’s and above. Maybe she is right, maybe she is not, I don’t judge her, but her statement reminded me of one term Garbage in-Garbage out , in computing and other fields, it is used to express the idea that incorrect or poor-quality input will produce faulty output. Before we complain about how they behave let’s have a look at what we give them. First as kids they grow in a noise environment (music, insults, and televisions). And as of now even in villages where a family may not have a radio, they hear them in streets even boda-boda play music’s freely. They just take in all they get and according to their age they may even not know what is the best thing for them, they don’t know the right cloth to wear, the music to

Love is a beautiful thing, it begins within. Even the scripture says that “Love your neighbor as yourself”, it’s a conditional statement you love yourself first then you will know how to love others/ neighbor as you love you. There is no pure love to others if we have not loved ourselves enough. One of the best feeling in this world, is to know and be sure that you are loved as who you are, that someone knows the really you, your flaws and forte and loves you anyways. This begins with you first loving you as you are, knowing your strength and weakness and love yourself anyway, this gives you the strength to patiently understanding others and love others as they are. In life we are opportune to live with family, friends and neighbors who have different behaviors and attitudes, some of the behavior may feel offensive but one of the things I have learned is that you are not the emotional caretaker of everyone who is important to you, you have only one duty and that is to love th
