What is a home?

“I feel at home”

Have you ever cried these words?

Home is not just a house rather home is a result of feeling!

Do you know that we do not only feel at home in a house? We feel at home with a person or persons. We can feel at home with material things and even animals. We can also feel at home with OURSELVES!

“It is not a matter of the nature of the building nor house rather it is what we feel in the house that either makes it a home or not”

The adage that you can build a house but not a home is always is true!

There are cases where people feel at home in their workplace. If you do, put it up in the comment and state where you work. For employees to last long, be more productive and happier, they deserve to feel at home in their workplace.


The first and most important factor that breeds the homely feeling is TRUST. As put by Simon Sinek, trust is a feeling; you feel that he/she is trustworthy. Following trust is the feeling of safety and security and finally the feeling of peace. Organizational leaders need to create a work environment that breeds trust; trust orchestrated by people feeling safe, recognized and most importantly protected from external aggressions. Mind you that trust can be broken at certain points but with repentance and forgiveness, it can be rebuilt over time!
You:

It is very important to note that you have to first feel at home with yourself, start from within before the light can radiate out and shine on others. As you cannot give what you do not have, you can only love God and your neighbour as much as you love yourself!

You can turn yourself, your house, organization into a home or even anywhere you are by your words, actions and thoughts. The thoughts are most important for they become words and actions.
Right and Enduring Core Values

Build a life based on true core values, make people feel desired and cherished, care for and protect them. One unique thing about core values is that they transcend beyond persons and time. Try out values like love, friendship, humaneness (or for me being truly human), integrity, trustworthiness and such like. These can make just anyone feel at home with you. Won’t you feel at home with anyone with these values?

In an organization, paying people fat salaries is good but turning the organization into a home goes beyond salary.

Effective listening is also a vital tool in building a home.

Maths125:
Thank you very much, to apply for many courses is not easy, that means I will have to write different essay for each course.

I think it will be much easier, if you get one essay right, then the rest will not be difficult, just follow the original's pattern.

Major on things the reason why you are applying for the course (check course's website) and google too. Also, connect it with the importance of the course to yourself, your community/country/world.
Then add how the course will help you at the end of your studies (post-study plans).
Another thing is why you chose the school and include your leadership qualities and voluntary activities.

How it works is that the school (University) will nominate you for the scholarship to Commonwealth.

It is advisable to apply to as many courses as possible to improve your chances.

1. The soul exercises involve spiritual exercises. The Christian Holy Bible referred to the soul exercise as Exercise of Godliness (or just godliness). Such exercises include prayers, meditation (that connects you with a higher spiritual being) and fasting. This cannot be complete if I do not mention kindness, goodness, charity, gratitude, forgiveness, truth, justice and any other likewise as core critical examples of soul exercises. Doing these (or anyone) every day strengthens your soul.

2. The mental exercises involve reading, deep thinking and meditation (mindfulness).

3. The physical exercises are the ones we are more familiar with: jogging, push-ups, swimming, riding, walking, etc.

All the best

In many organizations or team, meetings are regarded as terrible sources of man-hour losses while in some others, nothing starts or ends without a meeting. To the ones regarding them as a waste of time, they are right and to the ones taking meetings as a very important part of activities, they are also right about it.

The rightness of the two groups depending on the groups themselves on the following:

How Well the Meetings are Planned:

Most meetings reach a point of seemingly dead-end where everyone seemed to have lost ideas including the team leader. Such a meeting shows a lack of adequate planning. It is necessary that every step of the meeting is planned with the meeting ending at the right time and moment (the moment when a dead-end is approaching).

For critical meetings, it is always necessary that pre-meetings are held. Certain issues that can lead to unending arguments should be thrashed out with the critical parties in the team before the start of the meeting. Critical parties are the ones described in the article Why Great Ideas Meet Challenges and How to Overcome.

How the meetings are steered

The head/manager must not be the one to direct the meeting. Though not always the case, many employees or team members do always feel threatened or do cower before their more experienced leader; some see such as a mark of respect. The effect of this is that such persons fail to speak up their minds in meetings. They all might feel relaxed if one of them is the one conducting the meeting (after all a leader is at his best when people do not that he exists but yet feel his presence). When directing a meeting, there are certain things to do and to avoid:

Set ground rules and be even with everyone on the rules
Facilitate the meeting and quell personality insults, accusations and counter-accusations (except if that is the main aim of the meeting) before they go hot.
Avoid going solo in the meeting. When in a meeting and the team leader or the head, find himself/herself making all or almost all the suggestions, and speaking the most time, there is well possibility of something fishy there. All might be well if your team is still in the training process but if with experts/professionals, there is a real problem, most likely, with your leadership or conducting style

How the Outcomes Are implemented

“Let us just go, talk and come back to our usual way; the ones we agreed before, what happened to them?” A particular experience I had on this issue was when I was designated to write the minutes of a monthly meeting. The same minutes was requested from me by the conductors two days before the next meeting. The question is: what happened or will happen to the suggestions and improvement methods stated in the last meeting? Answer: They all ended in the reading of the minutes in the next meeting!

Thus, depending on how well you plan, organize and handle the outcomes of every meeting, that will decide if they are waste or important.

Most times in life we hold on to certain things we have in life believing that they are the best. But from the moment a comparison is done with some other things and we find our own wanting, we (implicitly or explicitly) become sad about it. Worst of all, we start to become discontented with that which we have.

From the moment we put ourselves (or someone else does) on a scale with our colleagues, friends, or even strangers that we have not met, the feeling of inadequacy and redundancy comes in.

What if we are found better than the others? What will be our reaction? We even extend the comparison to our loved ones: spouse, kids, siblings.

NOTE: it is not wrong to compare yourself or what you have with others’. Comparison, most at times in life, can help us improve especially when we have certain benchmarks. What is wrong is an unhealthy and unequal comparison.

The unequal comparison involves matching things that are not of the same level. You do not have to compare chapter ten of someone’s life and career with another person’s chapter two. One day, my neighbour decided to go on an early morning jog with me. I have been consistent with early morning jog for at least a year and she is just starting. Her speed was quite sluggish for my liking but I was fully aware that I was so when I newly started jogging.

An unhealthy comparison is when the comparison of ourselves with others generate sadness, discontentment, and damages to our relationships. We could have both mental and physical health problems.

Two things to be aware of in the cases of unhealthy and unequal comparison are:

1. We are unique and have different perspectives. These perspectives are what we are trying to compare and (of course) there must be discrepancies,
2. Even things are similar in some ways, yet they may differ in levels. In such case, the comparison will be between our chapter one and someone else’s chapter ten. We might not have reached their level or have passed through what they did to reach such height, yet we compare.
