MAISHA NI MALENGO

                                              Imepakuliwa hapa:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G23nC6i5jl8
Leo ni mwanzo wa juma jipya, mwezi mpya, mwanzo wa miezi mipya kumi na mbili ama maarufu zaidi mwaka mpya.

Mwanzoni mwa mwaka ni kipindi kizuri kufanya tathmini ya kile tulichokuwa tukikifanya kama hatukufanya hivyo mwishoni mwa mwaka. Ama yaweza kuwa fursa ya kuweka malengo mapya ama kuyapitia yaliyotangulia kwaajili ya muda mpya unaoanza mbele yetu.

Kufanya tathmini ama kujiwekea malengo katika maisha ni suala la msingi mno kama tunataka kuishi katika namna inayoeleweka na yenye tija na mchango katika dunia yetu. Lengo la maisha kwa kila binadamu awe anafahamu ama la ni kuwa na furaha maishani. Aristotle, mwanafalsafa wa kale anasema hivyo pia; ili mtu awe na furaha basi hana budi kujiwekea malengo. Malengo huwekwa na watu wa kila kada.

Mwalimu shuleni hujiwekea malengo yake, mwanafunzi, mwanasiasa, mwanamichezo, mwanasanaa, mwanauchumi, msomi, mwanazuoni, mwanasheria, mkufunzi, mfanyabiashara, mkulima, mchungaji kanisani, shehe msikitini, imamu sinagogini, na kadhalika…watu wote makini wa kada zote hujiwekea malengo maishani. Kutokuwa na malengo maishani ni mithili ya muuza duka bila daftari, ambapo twajua mali bila daftari hupotea bila habari. Maisha bila malengo hupotea bila taarifa.

Kujiwekea malengo ni utamaduni ambao inafaa watu wote tuwe nao. Kwa kusema hivyo nafahamu fika kuwa kuna ndugu wasio na mazoea ya kufanya hivyo; watu hao mara nyingine hufananishwa na bendera fuata upepo hufuata chochote kitakachokuwa mbele yao. Bila ubishi si utaratibu mzuri wa maisha. Kwa wasio na utaratibu huo ni wakati sawia kuuanzisha.

Dini nyingi hutueleza kuwa hapa duniani ni sehemu tu ya mpito - twapita tu na kwamba makao yetu halisi yapo kwa muumba wetu. Hivyo wakati tukiandika malengo yetu ya maisha ni vyema tukamshirikisha huyo muumbaji kwa kuwa sisi hatujui siku wala saa ya kuyahama makazi ya hapa duniani, japokuwa hatutakiwi kuogopa kifo.

Unapoandaa malengo fanya hivi:

Kwa wanandoa, ama watarajiwa, wawashirikishe wenzi wao. Malengo haya si yako peke yako. Kwa hiyo nafsi ya kwanza ni Mwenyezi Mungu na pili ni mwenzi wako wa maisha; mkeo, mumeo ama mchumba wako. Muombe(ni) Mungu ili awaangazie kufanya malengo ya kweli.

Hatua ya pili ni kuwa mkweli na hali yako halisi; weka malengo ambayo yana uhalisia wa maisha yako. Mfano haina maana kwako mwanafunzi wa Tanzania kuwa na lengo la kuwa rais wa Pakstani miaka mitano ijayo. Weka malengo ambayo kwa kiasi fulani una nafasi ya kuyatekeleza. Mfano kusoma kozi ya Kifaransa kwa undani mara baada ya kumaliza masomo yako mwezi wa Juni.

Weka malengo yenye kukujenga na yatakayohitaji juhudi zako kuyatimiza.

Usiogope kuwa na malengo mengi bora tu ni muhimu katika makuzi na utu wako, mwisho wa muda wa kuyatimiza utakapowadia utakuwa na wasaa wa kujitathmini na kujua wapi ulihitaji ama utahitaji juhudi zaidi. Mara nyingine tukiwa na malengo mengi na yenye kudai juhudi zetu zaidi ndipo ambapo huwa na mafanikio zaidi maishani.

Usiwe mtu wa kujihurumia; kuona kuwa malengo haya ni mengi na magumu mno siwezi kuyatimiza. Usishindwe kujaribu, jaribu kutenda na ukishindwa wakati ukitenda ni tofauti kabisa na ukishindwa kujaribu kufanya chochote.

Jiamini na usijilaumu. Fanya utakachoweza kwa juhudi zako na mambo yakienda kombo, bila shaka utapata fursa nyingine ya kutenda tena!

Kila la heri na Mungu akubariki!

MAGUFULI APASUA VICHWA WASOMI

WAKATI wananchi wengi wakipongeza hatua ya Rais Dk. John Magufuli kuelekeza pesa zilizochangwa kwa hafla ya kuzindua Bunge kununua vitanda katika Hospitali ya Taifa ya Muhimbili, wapinzani wake wanaeleza huo ni mwanzo wa kushindwa katika vita dhidi ya ufisadi.

Mjumbe wa Kamati Kuu ya Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (Chadema) Profesa Mwesiga Baregu amesema hatua ya Rais Magufuli kupokea pesa hizo bila kuhoji malengo na msingi wa Mhimili huo wa kutunga sheria kuchangiwa fedha ni ishara ya wazi kuwa ameingia kwenye mtego wa ufisadi wa kimfumo.

“Bunge ni taasisi nyeti sana kuruhusu kuchagiwa pesa na watu ambao linapaswa kuwasimamia, hizi taasisi za fedha zilizochangia zinaweza kujikuta zinatakiwa kuchunguzwa na Bunge, credibility yake itakuwa wapi. Angeuliza kwanza kwanini wamechangisha pesa hizo, nani anawajibika nazo?

“Kama anasimamia uadilifu hakupaswa kuchukua tu hela ambazo zimechangwa bila kujua dhamira za wachangiaji, huko tunakokwenda tunahitaji miswada ya kusimamia sekta ya fedha, sheria za kodi wanapolipia dhifa ya kwanza ya kufungua Bunge, huu ni mtego, kwani Bunge haliwezi kupewa uwezo wa kuchukua hazina kiasi kidogo hata kama ni shilingi milioni tano kufanya mambo yake, dignity (heshima) yetu iko wapi kama tuna Bunge omba omba na hatujui dhamira za wachangiaji?” alihoji Profesa Baregu.
Aliongeza kwamba huo ndiyo ufisadi wa kimfumo unaoitesa Tanzania, huku akiweka wazi kuwa anazofanya sasa Rais ni mbio za sakafuni kwa kuwa hawezi akadumu na hali hiyo.
“Mkapa (Benjamin, Rais wa awamu ya tatu) alianza na kasi kuliko hata hii, pamoja na juhudi kubwa za Mwalimu Nyerere, kumtangaza kuwa Mr. Clean, kuunda Tume ya Warioba kuhusu rushwa na kuwa na baraza aliloiita la askari wa miavuli, ameishia wapi, katika kipindi chake ndiyo kashfa nyingi za ufisadi zimeibuka. Simuoni kama atakuwa tofauti na watangulizi wake,” alisema.
Ni kama Nyerere
Wakati Profesa Baregu anayatazama mambo kwa jicho hilo mchambuzi wa masuala ya siasa nchini Dk. Charles Kitima ameliambia Raia Mwema kuwa Rais Magufuli, amejipambanua kuwa ni aina ya kiongozi anayeweza kutekeleza anayoyasema kutokana na rekodi yake ya utendaji.
Amemweleza Rais Magufuli kuwa ni kiongozi wa kipekee ambaye hotuba yake ya kuzindua Bunge imeonyesha ni jinsi gani anaweza kuunganika na wananchi masikini wa ngazi ya chini.
“Hotuba yake imegusa watu wa kawaida kabisa, kama zilivyokuwa hotuba za Mwalimu Nyerere, anasema kwa lugha inayotoka moyoni, pengine ni kwa sababu ameishi maisha ya kawaida, ndiyo maana ameweza kuwavutia wengi,” alisema Dk. Kitima.
Aliongeza kwamba ingawa hotuba za mwanzo za viongozi ni kujaribu kuwaaminisha wananchi kwamba atatekeleza ahadi zake alizoahidi wakati wa kampeni, utekelezaji wa ahadi hizo hutegemea aina ya kiongozi husika.

Katika hotuba yake ya ufunguzi wa Bunge pamoja na mambo mengine aliwekea umuhimu suala la kubana matumizi ya serikali ili fedha zinazookolewa zielekezwe kwenye huduma za jamii.

Ili kuonyesha alivyodhamiria kulitekeleza hilo, juzi Jumatatu, Katibu Mkuu Kiongozi, Balozi Ombeni Sefue, alisema Rais Magufuli ameagiza kufutwa kwa sherehe za uhuru ili watu watumie siku hiyo kufanya kazi ya usafi.
“Hatuwezi kusherehekea miaka 54 ya Uhuru huku tukiendelea kusumbuliwa na ugonjwa wa kipindupindu unaoweza kuzuilika kwa kufanya usafi tu. Hii ni kejeli kwa taifa huru kwa zaidi ya miaka 50.

“Wakuu wa Mikoa, Wilaya na Wakurugenzi wa Halmashauri wameagizwa kununua vifaa vya kufanyia usafi ili siku hiyo tuiadhimishe kwa utaratibu maalumu wa kupambana na kipindupindu,” alisema Balozi Sefue.
Akizunngumzia hotuba hiyo, aliyekuwa mtia nia ya kuwania urais kupitia CCM, Williamu Ngereja alisema hotuba hiyo ya Rais Magufuli ni mwanzo mpya kwa taifa.
“Hotuba ya Rais Magufuli ni mwongozo sahihi kwa taifa letu kufikia malengo ya kuwa na uchumi wa kati ifikapo mwaka 2025. Kama wananchi wanataka mabadiliko ya kweli, kama walivyoonyesha kwenye kampeni, kila mtu anapaswa kumuunga mkono,” alisema Ngeleja. -

10 things Zuma can learn from Tanzania’s new president

By Gerhard Jacobs

He’s been office for all of three weeks and already Magufuli has earned a reputation for rocking the boat, with his no-bullshit attitude and corruption-busting plan of action.

Sure he’s the son of a farmer, but this guy’s far from simple; his first real job was a school teacher, thereafter he educated himself as an industrial chemist and eventually became Tanzania’s minister of public works. The latter position saw Magufuli tackle some of the country’s largest construction projects without even a whisper of corruption or maladministration. In fact, he’s well-known for being a-corrupt, seriously.

So what is it that makes John Magufuli so great? Well, unlike so many of his counterparts, he’s relentless in his assault on corruption, laziness, and overspending; something that no doubt has already made him very unpopular among his own political comrades as well as leaders like Zuma and Mugabe. Let’s face it; the man makes almost every other leader look like a thief.

Three weeks in office and we’ve already got at least 10 major changes to report, imagine what the man can get done in five years.

Have a look at some of this legend’s highlights so far:

He cancelled Independence Day celebrations, saying that it’s “shameful” to celebrate while people are dying of cholera. Instead, the money that would have been used has now been set aside for street and public area cleaning.

After visiting the Muhimbili Hospital for the first time and seeing the dire state of affairs, the president ordered that more than 200 million Shillings earmarked for parliamentary parties be used to upgrade the hospital facilities. Less than a week later the hospital had 300 extra beds. He then fired the entire hospital board and had broken equipment repaired.

Magufuli cut his inauguration party budget from $100 000 to just $7 000 and gave the difference to the very same hospital mentioned above.

In his first week he ordered a ban on all international travel by government officials; adding that they need to focus on the rural areas of Tanzania and the poor, while commissioners and ambassadors who are already overseas can fulfil any foreign obligations.

All first and business class flights are off limits for government officials; except the president, vice president and prime minister.

Government workshops will no longer be held at hotels and function halls. Instead, they will be held at government-owned chambers so as to use what has already been paid for.

He fired Tanzania’s chief of revenue after 350 containers listed in his books disappeared from Dar es Salaam harbour. The prime minister is currently heading up that investigation.

He appointed the country’s very first female vice president.

When he had to travel 600km from Dar to Dodoma to open parliament; he chose to drive himself rather than have government organise a jet.

Magufuli went on record in the national assembly saying that, now that he’s president “it will not be business as usual.”

Pretty f*cking cool right? Well, here’s one more thing you might like to know about “The Bulldozer;” yeah, that’s what they’re calling him.

His tagline for his presidential campaign was “Work, nothing else.”
