Compulsory Power Facts

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga

Power is the ability to influence without resistance or resentment. A classic example is water, which effortlessly flows downhill, its power increasing with volume.

Key Factors of Power

To wield power effectively, consider the following essential elements:

1. Domain

Establish an area of influence, expertise, and high knowledge that sets you apart from others. In today’s competitive landscape, this domain serves as your foundation for power. Just as water flows and traces low gradients, increasing its force until it reaches the sea, continue to expand your influence until you achieve global recognition.

2. Relatedness

Influence requires connection with others. Build relationships where people accept your guidance, fostering a sense of community and shared goals. Command is derived from subscription – the willingness to be associated with your influence. The deeper your command, the more cohesive your following will be. Let the benefits of your influence lead to loyal dependency.

3. Exploration

Understand the needs and challenges of those around you. Listen actively, and offer tailored solutions to their problems. This empathetic approach helps build trust and strengthens your influence.

4. Sophistication

In a world where everyone seeks power, discretion is key. Guard your strategies and maintain exclusivity to preserve your unique influence.

5. Change

Stay adaptable and innovative. As needs evolve, adjust your approach to remain relevant and effective. This flexibility ensures your power remains a valuable resource.

By mastering these principles, you’ll be better equipped to wield power, influence, and positive change in your world.

My obituary to Rev E Kamupira

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Rev E Kamupira was my childhood model of Christianity, his teachings resonated well and shaped my beliefs. I knew Rev E Kamupira since my Sunday School days at St Stephens Chitungwiza Circuit. Sundays weren’t the same each time Rev Kamupira came to preach. Rev Kamupira was a product of United Methodist Church crusade of teachings though he had a Pentecostal touch that kind of made him popular within and without of United Methodist Church. His fearless gospel suited well with congregants in an independent Zimbabwe. From hearing his teachings far away from the terraces I ended up privileged sharing the same church with Rev Kamupira in Waterfalls. I had also rose to a promising Administrator in the United Methodist Church. I had a mutual relationship with Elison Kamupira. We discussed our church current affairs and shared the gospel. Rev Kamupira was a very respectful person who ...

It’s Not The End Of The World

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga This story is based on a true story and I have edited names so that someone is inspired out there. Resilience makes great changes in people's lives, don't commit Suicide Fadzai sat on the edge of her bed, feeling empty and defeated. She had never felt so alone in her life. Thomas’s brief and dismissive response on the phone had left her reeling. She thought about her daughter, Rungano, who was now misbehaving at school, and how she was struggling to cope with the absence of her father. Thomas had gone to South Africa for greener pastures leaving Fadzai with their only daughter behind. The plan was to relocate to South Africa as soon as Thomas had settled. In the first six months Thomas supported Fadzai with groceries, school fees and rentals. A shift began after Thomas had started seeing other women in South Africa. Thomas started sending money enough for rentals, school fees and a few groceries. The...

Greener Pastures Do Not Secure A Fat Cow

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga Just like cows seeking greener pastures, humans are drawn to opportunities that promise better living standards. However, I pose a critical question: do greener pastures truly guarantee prosperity if the underlying conditions are flawed? Perhaps the lack of progress is not due to the absence of opportunities, but rather the result of haphazard approaches, poor planning, and neglected resources. In the pursuit of a better life, many Africans seek opportunities in diaspora, enticed by promises of higher salaries and improved living standards. Yet, I firmly believe that true fulfillment and lasting impact can only be achieved by addressing the underlying conditions that hinder our progress in our own autonomous land – a land where we have territorial integrity. These underlying conditions include : 1. Absent value creation mechanisms : Failing to harness value from our resources and talents, instead relying on others for validation. 2. Disunity : Lac...
