Thursday, November 13th, 2008

Yes We Can - has a living proof.
Change that real people are creating. It’s not taking place in the mighty USA, but in a much less known place – in Kagadi in the region of Kibaale in Uganda.

Yes We Can!

Friday, November 7th, 2008

In his victory speech Barack Obama’s shared the story of Ann Nixon Cooper…

Start with Acknowledgement!

Monday, October 27th, 2008

One the most amazing things that I’ve noticed when I was in Uganda, was that those girls, students and teachers, although that they were doing an amazing job and creating unbelievable transformation, were not willing to acknowledge themselves for this work. They took it for granted. Even more, they were focusing more on what still […]

Cannot spare that period of time right now?
Here are five […]

The Promise Diet

Monday, October 6th, 2008

How many times did it happen to you that you promised something to yourself and did not stand up for that promise?
For many of us this has happened more than a few times. We tend to keep promises that were given to others much more than we keep the promises we give ourselves.
The reason is […]

Spending or Investing Time

Saturday, October 4th, 2008

If time is money than what would you rather do? Spend or invest time?
Most of us spend time much more than invest time. We spend time with our friends rather than invest time in our friends. We spend time with our kids rather than invest time in them. We spend time reading the newspaper rather […]

Green Heroes

It’s amazing how synchronicity works. Just a few days ago I wrote about how each of us can make a difference in the world. How as individuals if we set our mind to it and take the actions we can quickly change our world. I even gave the example about social entrepreneurs that are doing […]

Steps to Raise Your Self-Esteem

Thursday, October 2nd, 2008

It all begins one day, with your birth into the world. Showered with love and affection, you are adored, appreciated and enjoyed…
A low self-esteem simply does not exist. Everything around you, indeed the whole universe, is simply an extension of yourself. Although you were cranky when you were hungry, tired or wet, you made no […]
