Growth and Development are compulsory

Written by Fred Farai Nyakudanga

Life stands still when development ceases. To thrive, you need adaptable strategies to navigate challenges, nourish your growth, and capitalize on your environment. As situations evolve, so must your approach. The transformative journey of an eaglet, from nest to flight, serves as a powerful metaphor for human development. Guided by the mother eagle, the eaglet learns crucial survival skills, illustrating the importance of adaptation and resilience in the face of vulnerability.

Growth

1. Growth is Essential: Growth is the essence of life. It’s not just about overcoming challenges, but also about leveraging them to gain valuable experience and insights.

2. Challenges as Opportunities: View challenges as catalysts for growth and self-improvement. Rather than trembling before problems, focus on the strengths and resources you possess to overcome them.

3. Rising Above Adversity: Boost your resilience and confidence to navigate current difficulties and conserve energy for future challenges.

4. Emerge Victorious: Adopt a mindset that sees challenges as opportunities for growth, and strive for victory at all costs.

Development

1. Adaptation to Environment: Don’t wait for your environment to overwhelm you – adapt quickly and identify opportunities before they become competitive.

2. Resource Mobilization: Effectively harness resources to fuel your growth and development.

3. Self-Awareness and Autonomy: Understand your strengths, weaknesses, and limitations to become more self-aware and autonomous.

4. Resilience and Ability to Overcome Threats: Develop resilience to overcome obstacles and stay ahead of potential threats.

5. Continuous Learning and Growth: Commit to lifelong learning, and regularly update your mindset to stay adaptable and responsive to change.

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...
