7 COMMON MISTAKES WHEN CHOOSING A STUDY (AND HOW TO AVOID THEM)
Choosing a study programme can be challenging. There are so many questions, possibilities, and options coming your way; after all, it’s an important step for your future. Many young people make the same mistakes when choosing a study programme. In this article, we’ll give you tips to avoid the most common pitfalls so you can choose a study programme that truly suits you!

1. PEER PRESSURE
Friends, family, or even teachers… everyone seems to have an opinion about your choice of study. At least, that’s how it feels sometimes. Others might have a specific idea of what you should do, but in the end, the decision is yours. The risk is that you pick a programme that doesn’t truly suit you, just because it’s expected of you. This could lead to disappointment later on.

Tip: Talk to different people, such as study advisers, students already enrolled in the programme, and professionals in fields that interest you. For example, ask where your parents’ friends work! Also, attend open days and study presentations without friends to get a clearer view of what suits you best, free from outside influence.

2. CHOOSING WITHOUT TRULY KNOWING YOURSELF
A common mistake when choosing a study programme is not understanding what fits you. It’s easy to be swayed by advice from others or follow popular choices without considering your own interests and strengths. A study choice test can help you discover which programmes align with your personality. This helps you make a more informed choice, so you start your studies with greater motivation and enjoyment.

Tip: Take our study choice test. It can help you discover what suits you and guide your search in the right direction.

TAKE THE STUDY CHOICE TEST AND FIND THE PROGRAMME THAT SUITS YOU

3. NOT GATHERING ENOUGH INFORMATION
Some people choose a study programme without fully exploring what it entails. They rely on social media or appealing brochures and websites, but these don’t always give the full picture.

Tip: Visit Open Days and talk to students who are already enrolled. Ask about their experiences, check out the books and study materials, and read descriptions of the courses you’ll take to see if they truly match your interests.

4. MAKING A CHOICE TOO QUICKLY
There can be a lot of pressure to decide quickly, especially if you feel like others are ahead of you or you just want to get it over with. However, rushing your decision can lead to picking the wrong programme.

TIP
Start exploring different study programmes early and think about your strengths and interests well before you graduate high school. A study choice test can also provide insight into which programmes might be a good fit for you.

5. CHOOSING A STUDY BASED ON POPULARITY
Some people choose a study programme just because it’s currently popular or has a certain status, without thinking about what they personally find interesting.

Tip: Think about what you want to achieve. A programme with a great reputation or lots of students isn’t always the right choice if the content doesn’t suit you. Choose something that motivates you and contributes to your goals.

6. CHOOSING BASED ON MONEY
A common mistake is choosing a programme solely for the future salary. While a good starting salary is nice, if you study something you don’t enjoy, your motivation might quickly fade. In the worst case, you might want to quit your studies or face health problems.

Tip: Choose a programme that energises you and also offers good career prospects. This way, you build a career that makes you happy.

7. OVERLOOKING FUTURE CAREER PROSPECTS
On the flip side, some people don’t consider the job opportunities they’ll have after completing their studies. It would be a shame to be disappointed by your options once you graduate.

Tip: Research the jobs and opportunities available for graduates of the programme you’re considering. Talk to alumni and search LinkedIn for potential career paths.

Altogether, choosing a study programme can be tricky. By preparing well and not being influenced by other people or superficial information, you can increase the chances of making the right choice. The study choice test can help you gain more insight into which study suits you best. Remember, this is about your future, not that of a friend. Take the time to explore, and you’ll be able to make the right decision for yourself

SAIKOLOJIA YA BINADAMU
MBINU ZA KUSOMA AKILI ZA WATU
Katika utafiti uliofanywa na UCLA unaonesha kwamba 7% ya mawasiliano ya watu huwa ni kupitia MANENO yaani ni kwa kuzungumza, na 38% ya mawasiliano hayo ni SAUTI. Hapa maana yake ni kwamba sauti ya kilio inaarifu kuna maumivu, kuguna, karipio n.k. hizi sauti zina nguvu katika kuwasilisha ujumbe. Na 55% ya mawasiliano haya ni LUGHA YA MWILI. Mfano mtu anapunga mkono huku hatoi maneno, kisha na wewe unampungia, hapo tunasema mawasiliano ya mwili yamechukua nafasi. Kutikisa kichwa ishara ya kukataa ni lugha ya mwili, kununa ni lugha ya mwili n.k.
NAMNA YA KUPOKEA NA KUUELEWA UJUMBE UNAOTOLEWA KWA LUGHA YA MWILI
Tutajikita zaidi kuangalia jinsi unavyoweza kumwelewa mtu anayetumia lugha ya mwili kuwasilisha ujumbe wake.
1. Kufumba macho
Ukiwa unaongea na mtu halafu ukaona anafumba macho ujue kwamba kuna jambo anajaribu kulificha. Kwa namna nyingine anafanya hivyo kwa sababu amekuchoka kukusikiliza hivyo anatafuta namna ya kukuacha.
2. Kufunika mdomo kwa mikono
Kitendo hiki maana yake mtu anazuia jambo la kusema. Hataki kuzungumza zaidi.
3. Kujishika kidevu
Unapoongea na mtu ghafla unaona kila mara anajishika kidevu hii maana yake yuko katika wakati mgumu wa kufanya maamzi. Kwa maana nyingine anawaza kwa shida sana ni jibu gani akupe.
4. Kufunga mikono kifuani
Hii ni aina ya lugha ambayo watu wengi huitumia pale wanapojisikia huru na raha. Kufunga mikono maana yake kujisikia vizuri na jambo Fulani.
5. Kuegemea kiti
Hii maana yake mtu huyu amechoka kuongea nawe.
6. Kusalimiana kwa kushikana mikono wewe unamshika mkono mmoja lakini yeye yote miwili.
Mtu huyu anataka ujue kuwa anaaminika. Mtu huyu mara nyingi ni mtu anajiamini sana hana hofu yoyote na wewe yaani hakuogopi.
7. Kusalimiana kwa kushikana mikono huku mkono mwingine amekushika begani.
Hii ina maana kwa mtu huyu anakushika begani amepungukiwa mambo ya kuzungumza nawe. Kwa kadri mtu anavyozidi kukusogelea na kukugusa maana yake anahitaji ukaribu zaidi kwa sababu anaona peke yake haitoshi kuna kitu kinapungua.
8. Kushika tai, k**a anaikaza
Mtu akifanya hivyo mbele ya mwanamke, maana yake anampenda. Wakati mwingine humaanisha mtu hajisikii vizuri.
9. Kurudisha nywele pale hazikutakiwa ziwe
Watu hutumia njia hii kutokukubaliana na jambo ambalo hawataki kulitaja.
10. Mtu amekaa kwenye kiti miguu anaweka juu ya meza
Hii huelezea vitu vingi.
- Kuelezea kuwa nani ni bosi kati yake na unayeongea nae.
- Mtu anaonesha kuwa anajijali zaidi.
11. Kutetemeka miguu
Hii humaanisha kuwa mtu yule hajiamini, ana hofu na uoga.
MBINU ZA KUWAJUA WATU
Tutajikita kuona mbinu mbalimbali za kuwajua watu walivyo na tabia zao. Tutaangalia matendo yao yanatufundisha walivyo ndani na nje yao.
1. Ukimsaidia au kumpendelea mtu kwa jambo dogo atakupenda
Kuna dhara liitwalo “Dhara la Ben Franklin” – Benjamin Franklin Effect ambapo Ben aligundua kuwa ukimsaidia mtu jambo dogo utakuwa umemfanya akupende. Ubongo una tabia ya kushawishi imani yako juu ya mtu huyo baada ya kupata msaada na unakuambia mtu huyu ni mzuri sana hivyo hayuko k**a unavyomdhania hivyo unatakiwa umpende.
2. Huwezi kuuzuia wimbo unaoendelea kichwani mwako.
Ubongo wa binadamu una tabia ya kukumbuka kazi ambazo hazijakamilika. Tabia hii inajulukana k**a “Zeigernik Effect” na husaidia kukukumbushia kazi ambayo hujaikamilisha iwapo kuna kazi ulikuwa unaifanya hukuikamilisha. Hali hii hutuletea usumbufu akilini na mawazo ya mara kwa mara kuwa kuna kazi umeianza na hujaikamilisha, unakosa utulivu mpaka ikamilike.
3. Kumtambua mtu anayekupenda chunguza wakati anapocheka.
Ukiwa kwenye kundi la watu na ukiwa na mtu wako pembeni na unataka kujua k**a anakupenda, kukitokea na jambo au mtu mbele yenu anawafanya mcheke, ukiona mtu wako baada ya kuchekeshwa anacheka huku akimwangalia mtu mwingine jua kwamba anampenda yule anayemwelekezea kicheko na wewe hakupendi. Lakini akicheka huku amekelekezea kicheko wewe hapo anakupenda.
4. Kaa karibu na mtu mwenye hasira hatakudhuru.
Ulishawahi kuona kwenye kikao mtu aliyekaa karibu na Bosi anayewafokea watu wote kikaoni lakini huyu wa ubavuni kwake hamfokei ila mlio mbali kidogo naye anawafokea?. Mtu huwahamfokei au hana hasira na mtu aliye karibu naye hata k**a ana hasira naye. Ukitaka kuepuka mashambulizi ya hasira na mtu kaa karibu naye.
5. Iangalie miguu ya watu
Miguu ya watu ina ujumbe mzito kuhusu wanavyofikiri nini. Ukiangalia kwa makini miguu ya mtu unayeongea k**a itakuwa imekuelekea wakati unaongea naye utabaini kuwa mtu huyo anavutiwa na mazungumzo yenu. Lakini k**a miguu yake itakuwa haijakuelekea maana yake hataki kuongea na wewe.
6. Igiza lugha ya mwili ya mtu unayeongea naye ili akupende
Ukianza kuiga mtu anavyotumia isha ya mwili wakati anapoongea atakupenda na kukuamini. Wanasayansi wanaita dhara hili: “Chameleon Effect” ….dhara la kinyonga, yaani itikio la kinyonga kuiga kila mazingira anaingia. Dhara hili huchangia kuwa na mawasiliano mazuri.
7. Tumia nguvu ya ukimya
Ulishawahi kujikuta mtu anakuuliza jambo na wewe hauko tayari kumjibu? Njia mojawapo ili mtu akujibu k**a hataki kukujibu ni kutumia njia ya ukimya. K**a haukuridhika na jibu alilokupatia nyamaza kimya wakati huo huo baki umekodolea macho. Ukimya na kukodolewa macho itamshinikiza afunguke zaidi.
8. Gundua taswira binafsi za watu
Sote tuna nafsi yaani tuna nafsi-binafsi, nafsi-jamii na nafsi-taraja. Nafsi binafsi ni ile hali yako ya ndani unavyojijua ulivyo, nafsi-jamii ni ile nafsi yako inayokuambia watu wanakuonaje na nafsi taraja ni nafsi yako inakuambia kuhusu wakati ujao utakuwa nani, utakuwa na nini. Hizi nafsi ndiyo taswira za ndani za watu. Kwa hiyo ukichangia juu ya namna watu wanavyojiwazia itakuwa na thamani kwako. Mfano unamkuta mtu ana mawazo unaanza kumwambia, ndugu naona unawaza watoto wako wataendaje shule. Atakujibu umejuaje ni k**a ulikuwemo mawazoni mwangu. Tokea hapo atakuona wewe wa thamani sana kwake. Ukikuta mtu anakulaumu na kukushambulia jitahidi ubaini kilichopo mawazoni mwake ukitambue, kisha kiongelee na kukihimiza kwake.
9. Wafanye watu wakubaliane nawe kwa ishara ndogondogo.
Unaposhikana mikono na mtu au unapoinama kichwa mbele ya mtu wakati unapouliza swali, kwa sehemu kubwa itamfanya akubaliane kwa sababu atakuwa anafikiri swali kwa kina.
10. Wafanye watu watoe uamuzi wao wenyewe.
Unapotaka kuwaambia watoto kitu cha kufanya usiwaulize k**a waanataka kufanya. Kwa mfano usiwaulize “Mnataka maharage?” badala yake waulize kuna mchina na maharage kipi mnataka?. Watajisikia wana uwezo wa kufanya maamuzi ya kuchagua. Siku zote watu wape machaguo hii husaidia kuondoa mabishano.
11. Mbinu ya mzazi mwenye roho ya kutabiri(psychic parent trick)
Ukiona watoto wanafanya jambo ambalo hutaki walifanye usiwasemeshe, bali toka kimya kimya halafu waite na kuwaonesha kwa kitendo kile walichokuwa wanakifanya, kisha waonye, wataogopa na kudhani kuwa huwa unatumia mizimu kuona siri mbalimbali na matendo. Maana wakati wanafanya walidhani hawatazamwi na mtu.
12. Mwambie mtu anayekutania arudie tena kukutania.
Matani mengi yatamaliza nguvu iwapo yatarudiwa tena. K**a mtu amekutania mwambie arudie tena kukutania kuwa mara ya kwanza alipokutania hukusikia vizuri, na akirudia tu utani huo utakuwa umeisha nguvu. Unaweza kujifanya hujafahamu vizuri utani aliokutania, mwambie auelezee kwa kirefu. Kuuelezea ni mbaya zaidi ya kuurudia maana humaliza nguvu zaidi zaidi.
13. Geuza tabia za watu kwa kutumia macho
Watu huwa wana adamu zaidi mbele ya mabango yenye picha zilizo na macho. Ukiweka bango lenye maandishi “Usitupe taka hapa”, maneno haya hayatazuia watu kutupa taka kwa 100%, bali ukiweka bango lenye picha ya macho ya mtu pamoja na maneno usitupe taka hapa, mtu hatatupa taka kwa sababu atakuwa anajisikia anaona nay ale macho.

NOT GOSSIP
Here's why you should not GOSSIP.
In Ancient Greece, Socrates had a great reputation of wisdom. One day, someone came to find the great philosopher and said to him:
- Do you know what I just heard about your friend?
- A moment, replied Socrates. Before you tell me, I would like to test you the three sieves.
- The three sieves?
- Yes, continued Socrates. Before telling anything about the others, it's good to take the time to filter what you mean.
I call it the test of the three sieves.
The first sieve is the TRUTH. Have you checked if what you're going to tell me is true?
- No, I just heard it.
- Very good! So, you don't know if it's true.
We continue with the second sieve, that of KINDNESS. What you want to tell me about my friend, is it good?
- Oh, no! On the contrary.
- So, questioned Socrates, you want to tell me bad things about him and you're not even sure they're true? Maybe you can still pass the test of the third sieve, that of UTILITY. Is it useful that I know what you're going to tell me about this friend?
- No, really.
- So, concluded Socrates, what you were going to tell me is neither true, nor good, nor useful. Why, then, did you want to tell me this?
"Gossip is a bad thing.
In the beginning it may seem enjoyable and fun, but in the end, it fills our hearts with bitterness and poisons us, too!"
- Pope Franci

TIPS FOR BEATING STRESS
Breathing. Inhale for a count of seven, then exhale for a count of 11. Making the “out” breath last longer helps the body relax, as it triggers nervous system reactions such as slowing the heart rate.
Relationships. We are social creatures and having good connections with others enables us to feel happier, more secure, and gives us a sense of belonging. If you are experiencing isolation, consider a new hobby, volunteering or taking up a sport.
Be active. Exercise releases feel-good hormones such as endorphins. People who are physically active are better at handling long-term stress without burning out. People often report that they come up with their best ideas while exercising.
Diet. Drinking a glass of wine or eating junk food when we feel stressed may feel good in the short term, but if these habits continue, they may create greater problems in the long term.
Gratitude. Taking time to think about what we are grateful for, can help people feel more optimistic. At the end of each day, list three things for which you are grateful.
Nature. A walk outdoors can boost performance on tasks that require sustained focus. If you can’t easily find a natural setting, looking at images of nature can have some benefits.
Fun. Laughter has been proven to reduce the cortisol stress hormone. It also improves circulation and can strengthen the immune system and the heart.

BIG SECRETS IN MARRIAGE❗❗❗

Secret 1

Everyone you marry has a weakness. Only God does not have a weakness. So if you focus on your spouse's weakness you can't get the best out of his strength.

Secret 2

Everyone has a dark history. No one is an angel. When you get married or you want to get married stop digging into someone's past. What matters most is the present life of your partner. Old things have passed away. Forgive and forget. Focus on the present and the future.

Secret 3

Every marriage has its own challenges. Marriage is not a bed of roses. Every good marriage has gone through its own test of blazing fire. True love proves in times of challenges. Fight for your marriage. Make up your mind to stay with your spouse in times of need. Remember the vow For better for worse. In sickness and in health be there.

Secret 4

Every marriage has different levels of success. Don't compare your marriage with any one else. We can never be equal. Some will be far, some behind. To avoid marriage stresses, be patient, work hard and with time your marriage dreams shall come true.

Secret 5

To get married is declaring war. When you get married you must declare war against enemies of marriage. Some enemies of marriage are:
Ignorance
Prayerlessness
Unforgiveness
Third party influence
Stinginess
Stubbornness
Lack of love
Rudeness
Laziness
Disrespect
Cheating
Be ready to fight to maintain your marriage zone.

Secret 6

There is no perfect marriage. There is no ready made marriage. Marriage is hard work. Volunteer yourself to work daily on it. Marriage is like a car that needs proper maintenance and proper service. If this is not done it will break down somewhere exposing the owner to danger or some unhealthy circumstances. Let us not be careless about our marriages.

Secret 7

God cannot give you a complete person you desire. He gives you the person in the form of raw materials in order for you to mould the person that you desire. This can only be achieved through prayer, love and Patience

Secret 8

Getting married is taking a huge risk. You can not predict what will happen in the future. Situations may change so leave room for adjustments. Husband can lose his good job or you may fail to have babies. All these require you to be prayerful otherwise you might divorce.

Secret 9

Marriage is not a contract. It is permanent. It needs total commitment. Love is the glue that sticks the couple together. Divorce start in the mind and the devil feeds the mind. Never ever entertain thoughts of getting a divorce. Never threaten your spouse with divorce. Choose to remain married. God hates divorce.

Secret 10

Every marriage has a price to pay. Marriage is like a bank account. It is the money that you deposit that you withdraw. If you don't deposit love, peace and care into your marriage, you are not a candidate for a blissful home.

⚠️ In marriage we are daily called to be a living sacrifice.
