Do you know ISMO? The Finish stand up comedian? He once said this. "People in the world are divided into two. The first ones are people who can fall asleep anywhere, anytime. Like, on the bus, on a plane, in a bathroom, in meetings, and so on. These people are stupid. They don't have THOUGHTS. And there are other people who don't sleep because they think too much. Because life never fails to give them issues to think about. They're always thinking and they get it hard to fall asleep even if they want to." He is indirectly saying that if any thought is moving in people's minds, they can't easily fall asleep. And it clicked on my mind. ሃሳብ ሰው የመሆናችን አንዱ መገለጫ ነው። ሰው ያስባል። But when it gets out of control thoughts can make your life miserable. Have we just discovered a new concept? A concept called "Thought Intelligence". People with Thought Intelligence can regulate the unlimited thoughts coming to their mind. They know when and where to think which thoughts. They are completely aware of their thinking system. Maybe? እያሰባችሁ ዋሉ! @nks_journal

Mother ዛሬ ሌላ ቦታ ነው ምታድረው እና ወጥ አሙቅ ብላኛለች። እና ምን ሲሆን ነው በትክክል ሞቋል ሚባለው? አስቸኳይ ፈልጌው ነው🙈። እስካሁን ድስቱ እና ወጡ ተጣብቀው ቂጣ ነገር ሰርቷል። ላውርደው ወይስ ትንሽ ይቁይ? የፈጠነ 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ @nks_journal

አርፍጄም ቢሆን Passport ማውጣቴ ምን ጠቀመኝ? I am logistically eligible and morally ready to apply and attend any international event any time. People usually underestimate the importance of having their passports in their hands. I recently applied to an international event. And in the form, there is a section that asks us to fill our Passport number. Unfortunately, my friend got no passport and he immediately stopped filling the form. This will happen multiple times in the future and there is nobody to blame, but yourself. Passport isn't the only solution to your current problems. Passport might not take you anywhere. But... Given how young we are and haven't yet clearly found our way to our dream destinations, having a passport will definitely narrow down the possibility of missing any opportunity. Get your Passport ASAP!! Good night! @nks_journal

Man to man 1. Don't laugh if you don't want to Most people laugh at bad jokes. They agree with nonsense just to fit in, so they don't come off as cringe. This is foolish. A confident man is authentically himself regardless. He won't laugh at something that isn't funny just to be accepted. @nks_journal

When do you see the effect of a book you read years ago? I read this book two years ago. But I have just started to notice its effect on my life now. Or እንደ አጋጣሚ ሆኖ ስለ ማደርገው ነገር ወደ ውስጥ መመልከት የቻልኩት ገና አሁን ነው። Because when I think of my interactions with people, I just realized that I was doing most of the things written in this book. I am not going to give you a review of this book but let me give you a few words about how I interact with people right now and then you will ማመሳከር it with the content of the book. One, whenever I am with people I always talk about what they do, what they are interested in and their successful stories of life. . People are more interested in themselves than anything else in the world. Two, I have become a good listener. I used to be the opposite. I used to zone out multiple times when people talked to me 😂. But now I am an active listener, a listener who makes the speaker feel like the Best Speaker in the World. Because people want to be heard. People always want to make sure that their personality, what they do, how they think and act is being valued. People want ATTENTION. Three, I stopped making assumptions. I ask the most uncomfortable questions to avoid wrong assumptions. Things are not always as we think or feel. And the more you make assumptions, the higher the probability that you will offend people. You make other people be suspicious about your thoughts. እያለ ይቀጥላል። But you should read this book though. ካልሆነ ከሰዎች ጋር እየተነታረካችሁ መኖራችሁ ነው።😂 And your impact on people will be affected. Thanks. @nks_journal

LinkedIn sometimes acts like a Husband that most women hate. "አንቺ እነ እንትናኮ ተፋቱ።" "ምን ሆነው?" "እኔ እንጃ እሱን አላውቅም።" "ጠይቀሃል?" "አይይ አልጠየኩም።" "እና ምክንያታቸውን ካላጠያየክ ምን ያረግልኛል መፋታታቸውን ብቻ ብትነግረኝ?።" =============== LinkedIn: Someone from your institution viewed your profile. Me: ኧረ ባክህ! Who? LinkedIn: ይሄንማ በነፃ አልነግርህም። You have to subscribe to my premium version. Me: እግር ብላ። እኔ ወሬ ይህን ያህል አልጠማኝም። @nks_journal

You say you have five star communication skills but how good is it? I really appreciate the person who came up with such a great idea as it appears in the picture above. And it  somehow is the same with the English phrase "You know". People usually say "You know" in their conversation to make sure that what they're speaking is right, being heard by the audience. But how often do we say No I don't. Hold on, could you clarify on this? I know what? When people try to escape some thought processes they say "እንትን". But how often do we say "What?". The skill of comprehending ones thought and speech is measured by how fewer times they use "እንትን" and "You know". ከቅርብ ጊዜ ወዲህ I intentionally started to avoid using "እንትን" in my formal and informal conversations with people. And that completely is changing the power of my speech. The more you use "እንትን" the lesser people will value your thoughts. Great speakers articulate their thoughts clearly. That's also called Good Communication skill. እና እንትን ልበላችሁ ብዬ ነው። Have a good day! @nks_journal

I like this! @nks_journal

GPነት feels like unfinished business for me. የሆነ መንገድ መተላለፊያ ታውቃላችሁ? መዳረሻ ሳይሆን ወደ መዳረሻ መሄጃ? I haven't yet completely understood what a መዳረሻ really is in the first place. Every point of life where you are standing at could be a መዳረሻ if you don't want for more. Your destiny depends on where you want yourself to be at. On the other hand, you ought to live where you're at right now. Because the future isn't guaranteed. The future is the future. This is clear. But I sometimes find myself chasing thousands of dreams. I find myself very hungry for more. I find myself completely assured that እደርሳለሁ ብዬ ያሰብኩት ቦታ እንደምደርስ እና ከደረስኩ በኋላ ደግሞ ሁሉን ያሳካው አይነት እንደሚሰማኝ. And I am somehow assured that when I get there then everything is fine. And then I have no more things to chase after. However, is it really like that though? Will I be fully satisfied? Will I stop hoping for more when all my dreams come true? Will all dreams can ever come true ሲጀመር? Because I know thousands of people who had great dreams, yet who were taken away before their dreams came true. Or maybe where you're at is a different kind of destiny where you could live your purpose based on your level and which kind of person you're. It could be a destiny to some of your qualities that you have built so far. It could be the best time to live some of your purpose in life. So the question now changes to which purposes, qualities, skills, personalities of me are supposed to be functional at this stage of my life? What could I possibly do at this moment? As a GP, I feel like I haven't arrived yet. I feel like I have more business to do and are left with a lot of roads to travel. However, what if that is also another type of destiny? A destiny to some of my expertise as a General Practitioner? @nks_journal

"አብዛኞቻችሁ ችግራችሁ ምን መሰላችሁ?" ...ብለው የሚጀምሩ videos and speeches are the most ችግር አምጪ things nowadays. Everyone wants to teach you something. Everyone has a full syllabus of lessons. The majority of us are teachers, motivational speakers and direction pointers. ስለ ትዳር እና healthy relationship አፍጠርጥራ ስታስተምረን የነበረች መምህራችን ገና በ6 ወሯ ትዳሯን ፈታች የሚል ነገር ሰማሁ ዛሬ። ብዙ ገና ያላገቡ ሰዎች ደግሞ በየsocial mediaው እየመጡ በትዳር PhD የሰሩ ይመስል እንደምናምን ሲያብራሩም እያየን ነው። And yet, most of them eventually find themselves in situations that contradict everything they have been teaching us. If their point of view isn’t saving them, what makes us think it will save us? I mean, who should we trust and follow? A lived life? Or well organized, logical and amazingly articulated podcast speech? ማንን መከተል እንዳለባችሁም ግራ ነው የሚገባው በእውነት። Or should we not at all? I am not sure if some of us are living what we believe in our hearts. The only person I know who perfectly lived what He taught is JESUS CHRIST. Pharisees በዝተናል በውነት!🙂 @nks_journal

I arrived at Jinka Airport for a flight to addis. I had a lot of luggage with me including a couple of extra large sized boxes. እና ልክ ከመኪና ይኼን ሁሉ አውርጄ ዞር ስል one guy with a uniform መጣ እየሮጠ። He is one of the airport staff. እ? ምን ላግዝህ? ምናምን። ተፍ ተፍ ማለት ጀመረ። And then he brought two trolleys with him and started to load my stuff on them. ከዚያ በቃ wow! this airline በቃ ከጊዜ ወደ ጊዜ አገልገሎታቸውን ቀልጣፋ ለማድረግ የማያመጡት የለም ምናምን አስባለኝ። Like, come on bro!! you are just assigned here for such stuff only? Wow! What an improvement to the customer service quality! ምናምን እያልኩ ልክ ወደ መግቢያው ስጠጋ ቅር ቅር አለኝ😂። እንደተበላሁ ገባኝ። I was supposed to leave him a tip. I didn't know በእውነት። And then, I started to imagine how much money I got in my pocket. Like, what is the lowest currency I have ምናምን እያልኩ ማሰብ ጀመርኩ so that ዋሊያዋን መዥረጥ አድርጌ ሰጥቼው ማታ በእንቅልፌ እየመጣች እንዳታቃዠኝ። ለካ they always do this to get some tips ከተጓዦች። ምንም የማይታገዝ ነገር ራሱ ካላገዝኩ እሪ ይላሉ። ከዚያ እቃዎቼን check in area ላይ አድርሶ አዬኝ። ገባኝ እኔም። 100 birr አውጥቼ ሰጠው። በስማም፣ እየሳቀ ሄደ። But it didn't leave me without clicking something to my mind. See? It's real business. Like, yes they are there to assist you with directions and some other airline related stuff. But they ain't there to carry your tonnes of luggage. It isn't in their job description, most probably. They maybe making untaxed money, informal or maybe illegal yet with little effort. Sometimes it's not that we need miles of effort to change our world. But we might be a few steps away from making a difference. Just a few! Can you imagine how much money he would make, if he does this to at least 50 people a day? Hmmm. @nks_journal
