Planning For Sunlight

PLANNING FOR SUNLIGHT
By Jeremy Leariwala
A wise man once said, ‘Your day is never complete, until you have written the list of things to do the next day’. To him whenever you woke up without a list of things to do, you will still be living in the previous day. Think about that list as an action plan for a single day.
An action plan is the best tool to give one a sense of direction. Transferring all uncompleted tasks to the next day enables a person to grow and move forward. It also enables one to take stock of the responsibilities that awaits him. A list of five major tasks simplifies your area of commitment. Accomplishing any of the tasks relieves you to take up new ones and move ahead. And it also gives you something to consult periodically to evaluate your progress or performance.
December 31st represents the end of a year. 1st January is the beginning of a new year and borrowing from the wise man’s words, ‘your year is never complete, until you have written the list of things to do next year.’ Many people prepare a list of New Year resolutions. A clear list of resolutions puts your year in a perspective that enables you to break down 12 months into manageable periods. That is the same way it breaks down the sunlight hours to a few activities.
Make it a habit to plan your day before going to sleep. Happy New Year to you!

The Cell Phone Address

  The Cell Phone Address…   Embracing a cell phone number, as the complete personal address, is a great mistake of the 21st century. Sending a parcel through the carrier services, the most important detail required is a receiver’s name, cell phone number and the preferred pick-up point. This has duped the young people of today. To them, as far as addresses are concerned, a cell phone number is everything. This is wrong. Advancement in the digital technology not withstanding; a physical address, & a mailing address are still a relevant component of the communication system; without forgetting that an unexpected disconnection can render a cell phone useless. There is more to an address than a cell phone number can offer.   First of all, a physical address is very important. (PostGrid, 2023). Once your physical address is known, anyone can walk or drive over to it for a one-on-one meeting. Civilian carriers, like DHL, Amazon or the FedEx, can deliver parcels to the recip...

BEST PRACTICE

BEST PRACTICE By Jeremy Leariwala Mara Day Celebration, an annual event that is dedicated to the conservation of the Mara River, is observed by the East African Community (EAC) on 15 th September. The event brings together environment conservation enthusiasts within the EAC; more so, those within Kenya and Tanzania-where the bulk of the Mara Ecosystem is found. For the year 2022, the theme of the event was: Towards Sustainable Mara River Ecosystem! Several groups (Conservation stakeholders) converged in Nakuru-Kenya, to celebrate this day. Personally, I was fascinated by FOMAWA (Friends of Mau Watershed) with their presentations. For over twenty years now, the group-FOMAWA-has endeavoured to preserve the Mau Watershed. With the two decades’ experience this group has identified the best practices of tree planting, and it has adopted a simple concept for disseminating that information too. With the help of well-wishers and people/organizations of goodwill, FOMAWA partners wit...

My Priests, My Writing.

  MY PRIESTS, MY WRITING By Jeremy Leariwala Someone said, ‘show me your friends and I will tell you who you are.’ Another one, still, said, ‘you are what you read and what you think.’ Well, I found myself toying with these statements in my mind and remembered my priests. During my childhood, late 70s, unlike the case today, almost all the learning institutions, around my home, were church-owned-and-managed. From nursery schools all the way to technical schools. We attended these schools and, due to their roles in management, priests were among the common people we interacted with on a day to day basis. First, from them, we learnt quite a lot: the meaning of celibacy, service to the church and that Jesus NEVER disappoints. Secondly, they supplied our schools with books-lots of books, and they made sure that we watched, at least, one cinema every Saturday. The books and movies ‘transported’ us to the outside world, gave us a glimpse of what we didn’t know those days and broa...
