🏅 We had the honor of having a closing session for our compassion project students that chose to embark on this journey with us for the past 6 months.
🏅Our Students were certified for their active participation. Moreover, they had a chance to reflect on the time they spent with us throughout the trainings and present their final project work.

በምድር ላይ ስንት ጊዜ እንደቀረን አናውቅም። ሞት በሁላችንም ላይ የሚሆን ነገር ነው። የምንፈልገውን ህይወት የምንኖር ነን ወይስ እንድንኖር የታሰበውን?
ኔልሰን ማንዴላ ላደረጉት ነገር ርዕስ አግኝተዋል። ያደረጉት በአንድ ዓረፍተ ነገር ውስጥ ተገልጿል። ፍትሃዊ ላይሆን ይችላል ግን እውነት ነው። ጥያቄያችን ለእናንተ ይህ ነው፦ የእናንተ አረፍተ ነገር ምን ሊሆን ይችላል? ህይወታችሁን አሁን በምትመሩበት መንገድ ያንን ዓረፍተ ነገር ወደ ተጽዕኖ እንደምታሳድሩ እናምናለን። ህይወታችሁን በአላማ ነው ወይስ በአጋጣሚ ነው የምትኖሩት የህይወታችሁን አላማ ታውቃላችሁ? ወይስ ህይወት ሲገፋቹ ምላሽ ትሰጣላቹ? በህይወታችሁ ማጥቃትን ትጫወታላቹ ወይስ መከላከልን ብቻ ነው? አረፍተ ነገራችሁን በመምረጥ ላይ ናቹ አላማችሁን ካወቃችሁት በውሀላ ለመፈፀም የህይወት ዘመናችሁን ሊወስድ ይገባል። በጥቂት ዓመታት ውስጥ ሊሳካ አይችልም። ሪቻርድ ባች መቼ አላማቹ እንደሚፈፀም ማወቅ እንደሚቻል ጽፏል፦ “በህይወት ከሆናቹ አልተፈጸመም”።
We don’t know how much time we have left on earth. Death is something that will happen to all of us. Are we living the life we want to live or the life we were meant to live?
Nelson Mandela got a headline for what he did. What he did is described in one sentence. It may not be fair, but it’s true. Here’s our question for you: What will your sentence be? We believe you can influence that sentence now by the way you live your life. Are you living your life on purpose or by accident? Do you know your purpose in life. or do you simply react to life as it comes at you? Do you play offense or just defense with your life? Are you choosing your sentence? After you know your purpose, it should take a lifetime to fulfill it. It cannot be accomplished in a few years. Richard Bach wrote on how to know when it’s accomplished: “If you’re alive, it isn’t.”

💡Ikigai is a Japanese term that blends two words: “iki” meaning “to live,” and “gai” meaning “reason,” which translates to “a reason to live.” It’s a concept that encourages people to discover what truly matters to them and to live a life filled with purpose and joy.
📓 A training on was given to students at Axulim Catholic High-School, under our Thrive Youth program. The students are at a crucial stage of their life regarding the future path they are going to choose, especially in their careers as they are 11th and 12th grade students. They were given insights based on the Japanese ikigai principle, on what things to consider when choosing which path to take. Things like, Am I good at it? Do I love it? Is it needed in the world? and Does it pay well? Considering these questions is an important step in finding succes in our endeavours.

Leaders must connect with people at the point of their strength and style.
♟In checkers, all the game pieces move in the same way. In chess, you move each piece differently based on its ability. Wise leaders play chess, not checkers as they manage relationships. They connect with individuals based on their unique personality and strengths.
📓 On our YLD (Young Leaders Development) program, the Addis Ababa University students were asked to do an activity to hit this point home. During the activity everyone run to doing the task as opposed to first discussing who should be delegated to what job. A mistake we unknowingly make in different leadership positions that costs us time and effort.

Leadership is not about the pursuit of power✊ but about the pursuit of service😊. It's about serving others in the area of our natural abilities and passions. When we do this, we predictably ripple with influence. We don't even have to try to “lead”others. As we mature, we naturally uncover our area of strength💪 and influence📢 a sum of people. We may not have a position at the top🔝, but we lead👣. We are everywhere. We influence our world.

Having clear goals is the secret to effective decision making.
🚶➡️We all go through life constantly having to make decisions, big or small. If we don't have the skills to follow the right way to go about our decisions, we will only have a chance to learn in retrospect. Before that happens, our trainees/students at Addis Ababa University had the chance to gain insight💡on how to navigate this.
What we need to do to be effective decision makers, is first look at our goals🎯. If we don't have set goals, it becomes very easy to be swayed by our current circumstances or emotions. The students had a lively discussion where they talked about their real life scenarios and we had a wonderful time.😊

"ስሜታዊ ብልህነት."
በስሜት ደህንነት ውስጥ ከሆንን፡-
📍 የሌሎችን ትችት መቀበል እንችላለን።
📍 የሌሎችን ድል እና እድገት ማክበር እንችላለን።
📍 ለችግሮች እና ለሚያስቸግሩን ሰዎች ወዲያው እንዲሁ ምላሽ ከመስጠት ይልቅ ያሰብንበትን እና የመረጥነውን እርምጃ እንወስዳለን።
📍 ለራሳችን ያለንን ግምት ማስተዋወቅ እንደሚያስፈልገን አይሰማንም።
📍 ያለማቋረጥ ራሳችንን ከሌሎች ጋር የማወዳደር ፈተናን እንቃወማለን።
📍 አንቀናም ግን ከራሳችን እና ከሌሎች ጋር ሰላም ነን።
If we are emotionally secure, we:
📍 Are able to receive criticism from others.
📍 Can celebrate the victories and progress of others.
📍 Instead of reacting immediately to problems and people who trouble us, we take action that we have thought and chosen.
📍 Don't feel the need to project our self-worth.
📍 Resist the temptation to constantly compare ourselves with others.
📍 Don't become jealous but are at peace with ourselves and others.

The word "encourage" literally means "to bring out mental or moral strength to venture, persevere, and withstand danger, fear, or difficulty". It goes much deeper than just creating warm feeling. It's about helping others overcome obstacles, see a new perspective and reach for their highest potential. It has been said, "Encouragement is the oxygen of the soul".
"ማበረታታት" የሚለው ቃል በቀጥታ ሲተረጎም "ለመሞከር፣ ለመፅናት እና አደጋን፣ ፍርሃትን ወይም ችግርን ለመቋቋም የአዕምሮ ወይም የሞራል ጥንካሬን ማምጣት" ማለት ነው። ሞቅ ያለ ስሜትን ከመፍጠር ይልቅ ጥልቅ ነው። ሌሎች መሰናክሎችን እንዲያሸንፉ፣ አዲስ እይታን እንዲመለከቱ እና ወደ ከፍተኛ አቋማቸው እንዲደርሱ መርዳት ነው። “ማበረታቻ የነፍስ ኦክሲጅን ነው” ተብሏል።
