Excerpts from Ephraim Abutu-

Communication is ubiquitous, so you cannot but communicate. Most times some people think communication have to do with the outspoken word or the ability for one to know how to express himself or herself - this is absolutely far from it. Research has shown that human communicate more with non - verbal cues which is about 85% while 5% or less is verbal communication. So the day you choose to remain quite or keep mute and in your mind, you will think you are gentle, you are indirectly passing out a great information to other people to read more meaning about your personality and this can either be seen as Negative or Positive. 

Also, human beings also have different ways in which they exhibit their emotions and this is known as "love language" - the psychologists can tell more about this. So your love language can come in different ways which us also part of non-verbal communication. Most importantly, communication cut across different counties and even organisation.  So when you are in a new environment, try to understand their communication style and try adjust yourself into it. Don't be a stiff necked communicator or a one way communicator - diversification is very important and we must respect and put that into consideration when dealing with different people. 

Finally, in communication or self awareness development, there is something we called Johari Window - this is a psychological way in which people know their different human behaviour. Some parts are known or open to you but close to other, some are open to other but close to you and while some are open to the public and also visible to you. So you see, you cannot but communicate. Understanding yours is paramount.

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

UN Days for the Month of June.

The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution. On occasion, these celebrations are declared by the specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as UNESCO, UNICEF, FAO, etc., when they concern issues that fall within the scope of their competencies. Some of them may be later adopted by the General Assembly. 1 June Global Day of Parents   3 June World Bicycle Day  4 June International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression   5 June World Environment Day  5 June International Day for the Fight against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing  8 June World Oceans Day   12 June World Day Against Child Labour 13 June International Albinism Awarene...
