From an isolated bench,
I watch children playing and laughing
together in the playground.
Pure innocence and love define them.
As the mother of one of them gives one a
maize cob,
Together they happily share it.
None of the children is selfish,
But rather they are all willing to give.
If only we could realize that we are children.
If only we could realize that we are under
the care of the same parent.
If only we could realize that the more we give
away,
The happier and fulfilled we become;
We would not fight for food and money.
We would not fight because we realize that
God is the giver of all.
We would not bruise and hurt each other
because of our different genders and race.
Rather we would realize that we are just the
same.
We would realize that our borders do not
define us,
Because we are all human,
Because we are all children under one
parent’s care,
His name is God Almighty, The Creator.

As a leader, it is crucial for you to understand your team. Without understanding your team, you will end up chasing away the hard workers who are committed because you have treated them the same way as the non-performing, negative-minded employees.

According to Douglas McGregor, there are two theories of motivation – Theory X and Theory Y. Theory X says most people do not like work, while Theory Y suggests that a few employees enjoy their work.
As a leader, you will most likely have both Theory X and Theory Y employees working with you. It goes without saying that you can not motivate both Theory X and Theory Y employees using the same ways of motivation. Neither should you reprimand or punish the different employees the same way.
Sometimes leaders punish all employees and threaten them the same way. For instance, you have a Theory X employee, who does not like work but likes the salary/wages. S/he comes late all the time and s/he does not care. A wise leader should be able to treat that employee accordingly, rather than shouting or passing negative remarks at all employees (including the Theory Y employees that are self-driven and always go the extra mile).
When you put Theory Y employees in the same bracket with Theory X, you are likely to lose the Theory Y employees to organizations where they are appreciated for their difference.

Today I decided to answer a major question that people ask me whenever they see me do a new project, or when I unleash my potential in a different dimension.
COMMON QUESTION FROM PEOPLE:
Dr Wilbert R. Mutoko, what do you do?
MY COMMON ANSWER TO THE PEOPLE:
I am a passionate lover of Jesus Christ, a loving husband to one wife Phillis Mutoko, and I am a caring father of three biological children and many spiritual children.
Thus, all that I do goes to empower people in different ways. But it is one mandate.
COMMON RESPONSES:
Aah! You are a jack of all trades!
You have finished opportunities for others!
Why does one person do all these things?
What will others do?
How do you do all these things?
Where do you get time to do all these things?
CLARIFICATION:
I know that common advice says that you should stick to one thing. That is good advice for most people. But there are a few people in the world who have been blessed with the capacity to do a lot of things without crashing. Such people make money not just for themselves, but to share with others. Such people never get satisfied until they have touched more and more lives. They keep serving humanity until they die empty, having exhausted the gifts which God gave them. They know that gifts are not for them, but to benefit others. They will benefit in the process of being a blessing to others, as a pipe that transports water from point A to point B will never run dry. I am privileged to be one of those people that are multi-talented, and I am also a multi-tasker. My heartbeat is on how I can help others. As soon as I wake up in the morning, I am always thinking, how can I help more people across the world.
Furthermore, to whom much is given, much shall be demanded. I am not competing with anyone. I compete with myself to finish what I was born to do. So, should everyone do. All of us have work to do to make the world better now and in future.
No one can finish opportunities for others. There is enough for everyone, if you are willing to pay the price. The world of opportunities is like an ocean. Even if you go and fetch water from the ocean using a tanker, there will still be enough for all.
According to the Oxford Dictionary, ‘jack of trades and master of none’ refers to a person who can do many different types of work but who is not necessarily very competent at any of them. Now, if you know me well, you are sure that I am not a jack of all trades and master of none. Whatever I do goes gold. I love excellence. I am an exceptional lecturer, I am an international author, I excel as a Pastor and family builder, I am an excellent and eloquent speaker/trainer/coach, and our 8-track Gospel album has been rated one of the best albums so far. Fans say that the album does not look like it is the first. Most fans say that the whole album has hit songs, thus they can not tell which song is the best. Is that what you call a jack of all trades and master of none? The fact that you did not know what other potentials and skills someone has should not cause you to underrate that person.
Antony Robbins controls about 33 companies, but I have never heard anyone call him jack of all trades.
Sir Richard Branson controls about 400 companies, but I have never heard anyone call him jack of all trades.
Dr. Myles Munroe was a pastor, leadership consultant, musician, marriage counselor, motivational speaker, author, etc. but I have never heard anyone call him jack of all trades.
Why do you not call them jack of all trades?
What matters at the end of the day is your capacity to do divers things and do them exceptionally well.
It is hard to accept
when life gave you something or someone
And when that dear
thing or someone is taken away…
Life is a weird test, but a complex classroom….

The money in your pocket gives you assured security
more than the times when it leaves you to serve its
purpose,
and the anxiety of how to get more of it leaves you stagnant. **pinch**
Loneliness tends to hover over you even when you’re
around company
by family, even by friends, so much so
you feel like no one can help you
In Anything.
Even if you asked. **pinch**
Peer pressure leads you on a path of counterfeit
yet, your heart’s true desire of having at least one
soul who
understands you… is ignored
and self-eviction seems easier than nonacceptance. **pinch**
When you get pinched, it means you’re alive.
The pain is only but for a moment, but you embrace the
fact it was
there.
It is a steep climb to the top, but the view is great.
You can heal.
You will heal.
