Three Mistakes You Should Never Make At Your Workplace

Intro Hi, I am Museli Mulaima, and I have been working in the corporate world for over 10 years. I have learned a lot of valuable lessons along the way, and I want to share some of them with you today. In this blog post, I will tell you about three mistakes you should never make at your workplace, and how to avoid them. Mistake 1: Thinking your colleagues are your friends One of the biggest mistakes you can make at your workplace is thinking that your colleagues are your friends. They are not. They are just doing a job, and they have their own interests and agendas. When push comes to shove, they will save their skin and push you under the bus. They will not hesitate to take credit for your work, gossip about you behind your back, or sabotage your career. Trust me, I have seen it happen many times. So, how do you avoid this mistake? The answer is simple: keep your professional and personal lives separate. Don't mix business with pleasure. Don't get too close or too attached to

Today is a new way to navigate into a new chapter

Life is full of twists and turns, and sometimes we may find ourselves in situations that we did not expect or plan for. Maybe we have to move to a different place, change our career, or face a personal challenge. How can we cope with these changes and make the most of them? How can we be sure of the most important things that matter to us, and not lose sight of our goals and dreams? One way to approach these questions is to see every change as an opportunity to start a new chapter in our life. A new chapter means a new story, a new adventure, a new learning experience. It means that we can reinvent ourselves, discover new aspects of our personality, and explore new possibilities. It also means that we can reconnect with our roots, our values, and our home town, and appreciate them more than ever. NEW CHAPTER  However, starting a new chapter is not always easy. It requires courage, resilience, and adaptability. It also requires hard work, dedication, and perseverance. These are some of

The Last Words of Steve Jobs

A Lesson for Life Steve Jobs was one of the most influential and visionary entrepreneurs of our time. He co-founded Apple, Pixar, and NeXT, and revolutionized the fields of personal computing, animation, and mobile technology. He died a billionaire at the age of 56 with a capital of $7 billion from pancreatic cancer. But on his deathbed, he did not talk about his achievements or his wealth. He shared some profound insights about life, happiness, and what really matters in the end. These are some of his last words: > At this moment, lying in bed, ill and remembering my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth are insignificant in the presence of imminent death. > As we get older, we get smarter, and we slowly understand that whether a clock is worth dollar 30 or dollar 300, they both show the exact same time. Whether we drive a $150,000 car or a $2,000 car, we arrive at the same destination. > So these five facts that cannot be denied. > One, don't educa

Explain Infidelity with a Parable

How to Explain Infidelity with a Parable? Have you ever wondered how to break the news to someone that their partner has been unfaithful? It can be a delicate and difficult situation, especially if the person is in denial or unaware of the signs. Sometimes, a direct approach may not work, and you may need to use a more subtle or creative way to get your point across. One such way is to use a parable, which is a short story that illustrates a moral or spiritual lesson. Parables are often used in religious texts, such as the Bible or the Quran, to teach people about various aspects of life. Parables can also be used in everyday situations, such as when you want to explain something to someone without hurting their feelings or making them angry. One example of a parable that can be used to explain infidelity is the following: A guy asked a doctor why his girlfriend is pregnant when they always use protection and the rubber never broke. How is it possible? The doctor said, let me tell you

The Illusion of Ownership

Reasons Why We Don't Own Anything in This Life By Museli Mulaima Have you ever wondered what you truly own in this life? What are the things that you can claim as yours, and what are the things that you merely borrow or rent? In this blog post, I will challenge the common notion of ownership and show you why we don't own anything in this life. What is ownership? Ownership  is the state or fact of having exclusive rights and control over something. It implies that you have the power to use, dispose, or transfer something as you wish. Ownership also implies that you have the responsibility to take care of something and protect it from harm or loss. But how do we acquire ownership ? How do we know that something belongs to us? The answer is not so simple. In most cases, we rely on social conventions, legal systems, or moral principles to determine ownership . For example, we may say that we own a piece of land because we have a title deed, or we own a car because we have a regist

The Wisdom of African Proverbs

Introduction Proverbs are short and memorable sayings that express a truth or a lesson. They are often based on common sense, experience, or observation. Proverbs can be found in many cultures and languages, and they can offer valuable insights and guidance for life. In this blog post, I will share with you some proverbs that I have collected from various sources. These proverbs are about family, money, sex, success, and more. I hope they will inspire you and make you think. Family > It is still a mystery how one father can feed seven children. But seven children cannot feed one father. This proverb reminds us of the sacrifices and responsibilities that parents have for their children. It also warns us of the ingratitude and selfishness that children may have for their parents. We should always appreciate and honor our parents, and not neglect them when they are old and needy. > Never plant thorns on someone's path. Your children may take that route barefooted one day. This p

Never Do These Five Foolish Things

Life is full of choices and consequences. Some choices are wise and lead to happiness and success. Others are foolish and lead to misery and failure. In this blog post, I will share with you five foolish things that you should never do in your life. These are based on my own experience and observation, and I hope they will help you avoid some common pitfalls and regrets. 1. Never talk about your dreams to anyone Dreams are precious and personal. They are the fuel that motivates you to pursue your goals and passions. However, not everyone will understand or support your dreams. Some people may mock, discourage, or even sabotage your dreams. That's why you should never talk about your dreams to anyone, unless they are trustworthy and supportive. Remember, a fish with its mouth shut avoids the hook. 2. Never get too involved in other people's problems It's good to be compassionate and helpful to others. However, you should not get too involved in other people's problems, e

Discover Your True Potential

Lessons from the Chicken-Eagle Story Do you ever feel like you don't fit in or aren't reaching your full potential? Maybe you feel stuck in your own created limits. If so, the chicken-eagle story can show you the importance of knowing yourself and reaching your true potential. Once upon a time, a man found an eagle's egg and put it in a hen's nest. The egg hatched, and the eagle grew up thinking it was a chicken, doing chicken things. It never knew it was different or had a greater purpose. One day, the eagle saw a beautiful bird flying high and asked its friend, "Who is that?" "That's the eagle, the king of the birds," the friend replied. "We're chickens; we belong to the earth." Accepting this, the eagle never questioned its identity again, living and dying as a chicken without realizing its true potential. Lesson This story teaches us that our beliefs and surroundings can limit us. We might not know who we truly are or what we

How to Respect Yourself in 11 Simple Steps

Respect is not something that you can demand from others. It is something that you have to earn by your actions and attitude. Respect is also something that you have to give to yourself first, before you can expect it from others. If you don't respect yourself, how can you expect others to respect you? In this blog post, I will share with you 11 ways to respect yourself and boost your self-esteem. These are simple but powerful steps that you can take to improve your relationship with yourself and others. 1. Stop looking for who is not looking for you.
