Tangu Mhe. *Rais JOHN POMBE MAGUFULI* alipotoa kauli yake ya kutopokelewa kwa wanafunzi wanaotoka kujifungua katika shule za umma, kauli hiyo imeibua mijadala mbalimbali katika jamii, huku walio wengi hususani wanaharakati wakionekana kumpinga kwa madai kuwa hatua hiyo ya Mhe. Rais ni ukiukaji wa haki za elimu kwa watoto wa kike.
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hPfLUE99MzE/WVoYFVFvpHI/AAAAAAAAArI/nmTBchpeJUMxd3mZeRMS8Uj7wdH2UhkYgCLcBGAs/s1600/dgf.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/-hPfLUE99MzE/WVoYFVFvpHI/AAAAAAAAArI/nmTBchpeJUMxd3mZeRMS8Uj7wdH2UhkYgCLcBGAs/s320/dgf.JPG" width="320" height="187" data-original-width="728" data-original-height="426" /></a></div>
Ukweli ni kwamba Serikali ya Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania inajali, inalinda na kutetea haki na ustawi wa watoto wa jinsia zote kwa kusimamia sheria, sera na mikataba ya Kimataifa inayolinda haki na ustawi wa mtoto. Kwa kulitambua hilo, Serikali imekuwa ikifanya jitihada mbalimbali kuhakikisha kuwa kila mtoto anapata elimu. Kwa Mfano, utekelezaji wa Mpango wa Elimu kwa Wote (Universal Primary Education-UPE), Mpango wa Maendeleo ya Elimu ya Msingi (MMEM), Mpango Maalum wa Elimu kwa Walioikosa (MEMKWA), Mpango wa Maendeleo ya Elimu ya Sekondari (MMES) na sasa Mpango wa Elimu Bure kwa shule ya Msingi na Sekondari. Lengo la hayo yote ni kuhakikisha kuwa Watanzania wote (wakiwemo watoto) wanapata Elimu kama haki yao ya msingi.
Hata hivyo, bado jamii imekuwa ikichangia kukwamisha jitihada hizo kwa kuzuia watoto wao kwenda shule kwa kuwatwisha majukumu mbalimbali kama vile kazi za ndani, kuchunga mifugo, kilimo, biashara, huku wazazi na walezi wengine wakidiriki kuwashawishi watoto wao kufanya vibaya kwenye mitihani ya kitaifa ili wasiendelee na masomo na kupata nafasi ya kuwaozesha katika umri mdogo. Hivyo tusitumie kauli ya Mhe. Rais kama chanzo cha ukiukaji wa haki za watoto kwani ukiukaji wa haki za watoto unafanywa na jamii yenyewe kwa kushindwa kutimiza wajibu wake wa kumlea mtoto katika maadili, mila na desturi za Kiafrika na badala yake tunatumia Mikataba ya Kimataifa kuharibu tamaduni, mila na desturi zetu.
Yatubidi tutambue kuwa mikataba hiyo inapaswa kutekelezwa bila kuathiri mila, tamaduni na desturi zetu. Aidha, Serikali imekuwa ikipinga mambo yote ambayo yana athari katika jamii licha ya kwamba yana sura ya haki za binadamu katika jamii husika na ndiyo maana imekuwa ikipinga vikali suala la mapenzi ya jinsia moja, ukeketaji na mengine mengi kutokana na athari zake kwa jamii. Aidha, kwa mujibu wa mafundisho ya Dini na tamaduni za Kitanzania ni dhambi na mwiko kwa mtoto kushiriki tendo la ndoa kabla ya kuolewa. Hata katika nchi za wenzetu hasa Uarabuni ni marufuku mwanamke kuzaa nje ya ndoa. Je kuhusu wanafunzi waliopata ujauzito kuendelea na masomo siyo kwenda kinyume na mafundisho ya dini?
Tusijikite zaidi kupigia kelele suala la wanafunzi hao kurudi shuleni baada ya kujifungua, bali tufikirie pia athari zinzoweza kumpata wakati wa kujifungua, malezi ya mtoto atakayezaliwa bila kusahau kuwa mtoto huyo naye anahitaji kutimiziwa haki zake za msingi. Je watatengewa vyumba vya kunyonyeshea mashuleni? Wakiugua nani atawahudumia? Ni dhahiri kuwa hatuwezi kupinga mimba za utotoni, ndoa za utotoni, watoto wa mitaani, ombaomba wala kumaliza tatizo la vifo vitokanavyo na uzazi katika umri mdogo kwa kubariki mimba mashuleni.
Ni ukweli usiofichika kuwa wanafunzi walio wengi wamekuwa wakipata ujauzito kwa kurubuniwa na watu wao wa karibu kwa vitu vidogo kama fedha, chips, vizawadi na starehe binafsi. Watu hao tunaishi nao katika jamii zetu na hata baadhi ya wazazi na walezi wamekuwa wakishiriki kuwalinda ili wasifikiwe na mkono wa sheria.
Ni vema tukatambua kuwa tamko la Rais ni Sheria kwa mujibu wa katiba ya nchi. Hivyo ipo haja sasa kila Mtanzania kwa nafasi na wadhifa alionao kumuunga mkono Mhe. Rais kwa kuelekeza nguvu zaidi katika elimu rika kwa watoto na kuelimisha jamii juu ya athari za mimba za utotoni na umuhimu wa kulinda haki za watoto na kuwafichua wale wote wanaokwamisha watoto kutimiza ndoto zao ili sheria ichukue mkondo wake.

(MWANAMKE/MSICHANA)
Mwanamke au msichana kupata ndoa utotoni kabla ya umri wake miaka 18 na kupata mimba au kuingiliwa kimaumbile.
• Hupatwa na madhara yafuatayo:
A. Msichana kuingiliwa na mwanaume kabla ya umri ama wanaumri sawa au mwanaume anayemzidi umri.
( i) Hupatwa na magonjwa ya kupasuka mirija ya uzazi haswa kwa kuwa mwanaume ana nguvu na spems zinaweza kupasua mirija midogo ya kukomaza njia ya uzazi. Hivyo baada ya muda wa kubalehe mirija za uzazi ziko wazi
- Hivyo kupata mimba inatunga nje ya mfuko wa uzazi. Hivyo basi mimba nyingi za namna hiyo huzaa kwa njia ya kupasuliwa (operation service) kwani
-Mfumo wa uzazi hauna nguvu ya kupokea yai la kiume
(ii) Mbegu za kike aliyeingiliwa na mwanaume aliye na umri mkubwa huacha kukomaa baada ya Hedhi yake kwani shahawa au mbegu za kiume zilizokomaa huvunja nguvu zaidi ya yule msichana.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05127772124012608442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771452136490067191.post-62329800503898779022017-07-03T02:52:00.001-07:002017-07-03T02:52:36.525-07:00Social Mainstreaming for Gender Equality Organization (SMGEO)- Tanzania: Early Marriage !!<a href="http://smgeoorg.blogspot.com/2017/07/early-marriage.html?spref=bl">Social Mainstreaming for Gender Equality Organization (SMGEO)- Tanzania: Early Marriage !!</a>: Early marriage is a global issue.

Early marriage is a global issue. It is quite common in the African and Asian countries. However, the consequence of early marriage is serious, which can violate the rights of adolescence, both in this generation and the next. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-liDDAwD8YtU/WVoTSRURr9I/AAAAAAAAAq8/g1Ki8YLfMiAjLaF_UgHZKN8oEMXmALJ6gCLcBGAs/s1600/fh.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-liDDAwD8YtU/WVoTSRURr9I/AAAAAAAAAq8/g1Ki8YLfMiAjLaF_UgHZKN8oEMXmALJ6gCLcBGAs/s320/fh.JPG" width="320" height="245" data-original-width="558" data-original-height="428" /></a></div>It affects the education and well-being of millions of children and has a knock-on effect for the poverty and development of communities. Simply put, early marriage can violate children basic rights to a childhood, to an education, to good health and to make decisions about their own lives.
Early Marriage Leads To Tragedy For a Young Woman In Africa
The physical, emotional and social effects of early marriage are varied, but one of the most common outcomes is the withdrawal of girls from formal education. Traditionally people in some rural villages value marriage more than education of the girls. Many girls stop school because of getting married. Husbands of young wives are often older men, who expect their wives to follow tradition, stay at home and undertake household and child-care duties. Schools often have a policy of refusing to allow married or pregnant girls or girls with babies to return. So all the rules, timetables and physical conditions make it too difficult for a girl to attend school and perform her duties as wife and mother at the same time.
Besides education, personal maturity is another problem they have to face in the early marriage. While immature and irresponsible actions may sometimes seem funny before marriage, they can become serious pitfalls within the marriage bond.
One of the surest signs of immaturity and irresponsibility in both young men and young women is a lack of willingness to do a reasonable share of work in a consistent, dependable way. A third potential problem of early marriage is the problem of growing apart. This simply means that while two young people in their middle teenage years have much in common, that in many cases, our ideals and goals change as we pass the teenage years, to such an extent that we may easily find ourselves married for life to a person with whom we will ultimately have very little in common.
Additionally, having babies too young, brides of early marriage are at an extremely high risk for fistulas and they have a higher risk of being infected with sexually transmitted diseases and at an increased risk of chronic anemia and obesity. Statistically, child brides have a higher risk of becoming a victim of domestic violence, sexual abuse, and murder.
In order to prevent the early marriage, we should raise consciousness about the extensiveness of early marriage and seriously consider the potential problems it relates. Government should establish safe spaces for girls to gather and socialize to increase access to economic skills and resources. Additionally, we should raise awareness of the health and rights implications of large spousal age differences and inter generational sex.
Efforts should be taken to support married adolescent girls by decreasing their economic vulnerability, offering schooling, civic participation, and livelihoods opportunities, developing interventions to reduce their social isolation.

Do not wait for someone to make you happy. Do not wait to get this or that, or be this or that, or have this or that, or wait for any person, ever. Don't wait for anyone to give you, get you or bring you anything at all. Wait for nothing and wait for no one. You are the one that you are waiting for, and you always will be.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/---wKTepRHJA/WPIdFlpr7hI/AAAAAAAAAqA/4fYBOq31vFwGKeeJ6NKFVvZvqjDnOwESgCLcB/s1600/img-20130607-wa0005_001_001000.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://4.bp.blogspot.com/---wKTepRHJA/WPIdFlpr7hI/AAAAAAAAAqA/4fYBOq31vFwGKeeJ6NKFVvZvqjDnOwESgCLcB/s400/img-20130607-wa0005_001_001000.jpg" width="400" height="300" /></a></div>
Don't delay, because today is the day. Don't delay living your life to the fullest, and wait for happiness to be brought to you, given to you, awarded to you, or bestowed upon you. You can have it right now, right here, just as you are, in your pajamas, sweats or jeans. You don't need a royal crown, robe and scepter to be a happy, fulfilled and successful woman.
You don't need a king to make you a queen. You don't have to marry a prince to be happy, or to have a "happy ever after." You don't have to even have a prince and you don't have to be married to be happy. You can be royally happy and be a princess perfectly well on your own. Many women are perfectly happy and successful and fulfilled without a romantic partner at all: with no sweetheart, boyfriend, husband, lover or man. A queen with a king who's not loving, supportive, faithful, kind and an equal partner in the kingdom they're creating together will not ever be a happy and productive queen, no matter how big and beautiful the crown the king gives her.
A man and a marriage does not guarantee any woman happiness. Actually, many women are quite happy without romantic partners, and they do quite well on their own, and they've chosen -- and continue to choose -- to be on their own. There are women who say, "no" to the "prince" (who may not treat them that royally now, or in the future, much less forevermore), and they never regret it. No one -- no man, husband, no prince, no king, no knight on a white horse -- and no marriage proposal, no ring, no marriage, no title of "wife" or "Mrs." can raise your status any higher when you're already a great woman on your own merits.
Say no to what glitters that is not truly golden, that can tarnish. Say no to anything or anyone that limits you, lessens you, controls, oppresses, suppresses and represses you, or diminishes your power to be happy, successful and fulfilled, independently. Always say "yes" to yourself, in all ways. Say "I do" to you.🤔😲

Naibu Rais William Ruto amebaini kuwa Afrika haiwezi kuendelea kwa kumdhalilisha mwanamke, ila tu kwa kumpa nafasi murwa ya kujiendeleza katika sekta zote za maisha. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k2FSAwObR3I/WJMGApM9PDI/AAAAAAAAAoo/3-rHqsLL1SkmkQlbrGcpTfrnWWVDegtuACLcB/s1600/yt.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://3.bp.blogspot.com/-k2FSAwObR3I/WJMGApM9PDI/AAAAAAAAAoo/3-rHqsLL1SkmkQlbrGcpTfrnWWVDegtuACLcB/s320/yt.JPG" width="320" height="212" /></a></div>
Ruto, katika ukurasa wake wa Facebook amefafanua kuwa dunia inadororesha sekta mbali mbali kwa kutomhusisha mwanamke katika maswala ya kiuchumi.
"Kongamano hili litumike katika kuimarisha nafasi ya mwanamke katika masuala ya uchumi na biashara kote duniani ili kujiendeleza kimaisha," alisema Ruto.
Naibu wa rais amesisitiza kuwa wanawake humu nchini wanendelea vizuri katika maswala ya kiuchumi hasa kutokana na kuwawezesha kupata huduma za mikopo pamoja na mpango wa fedha za Uwezo.
“Huduma kwa wanawake, watu wenye ulemavu pamoja na vijana wameendelea kibiashara, swala ambalo lina umuhimu sana kwa maendeleo ya taifa hili,” aliongeza Ruto.
Ujumbe wake vile vile umeungwa mkono na Rais wa Liberia Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, ambaye ametaja kuwa uhuru wa kumiliki ardhi kwa wanawake ni jambo ambalo linapaswa kushughulikiwa kiundani sana maanake ardhi ndio nguzo muhimu katika uzalishaji.
Sirleaf ameongeza kuwa mwanamke ni nguzo ya jamii, huku akitoa mfano wa taifa lake la Liberria ambamo kupitia kwa mshikamano wa wanawake, taifa hilo limepata nafuu kutokana na hali ya utovu wa amani ambayo ilikuwa imelikumba kwa takriban miaka miwili.Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05127772124012608442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771452136490067191.post-72656675319153567592016-12-23T00:19:00.001-08:002016-12-23T00:19:31.322-08:00Official Eric Samuel -Asante Mungu<iframe width="459" height="344" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/m648_kB_gCw" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen=""></iframe>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05127772124012608442noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2771452136490067191.post-29498677641609589252016-11-01T12:09:00.001-07:002016-11-01T12:14:40.768-07:00<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

<br />
By Fungai Machirori<br />
<br />
A friend and I begin a Twitter chat.<br />
<br />
I have picked up from her most recent tweets that she has been violated; a man has touched her inappropriately in a public space and has laughed back at her.<br />
<br />
“I hope you won't say this is sexual harassment,” he states.<br />
<br />
I apologise to her; a helpless apology because, as she reassures me, it is not my fault. I know this, but I also know the difficulty of what she is going through; the violation itself, the speaking up against it. And so still, I am sorry. I am sorry that all of this responsibility - of guilt and self-blame - falls on her shoulders within a patriarchal society that will still find fault with her speaking up.<br />
<br />
My friend is privileged, as am I. Well-educated, well-spoken, accomplished, young, articulate and autonomous. Society so often constructs violence like something that doesn’t happen to women like her or me. We won’t get slapped by a drunk sexist in an upmarket bar, or hit by a boyfriend in the car we’ve bought with our own hard-earned cash, or raped by the husband we’ve desperately wanted to leave for months, or even years.<br />
<br />
Things like that are constructed as only happening to women who don’t have ‘power’; women who are cast within our dominant (and flawed) narratives as being unable to speak or stand up for themselves.<br />
<br />
In a paper written in 2004, feminist activist Everjoice Win makes the following observation;<br />
<br />
“... the middle class woman is completely silenced and erased from the images of development and rights work. She is constantly reminded that development is about eradicating poverty and therefore it focuses on those defined as “the poor” (read as resource-poor). Therefore her story and her experiences are not part of the narrative. In essence, this means women’s lives are put on a kind of league table and it is those that qualify which get addressed. If the non-poor woman dares give herself as an example, she is reminded that she is too distant from the lives of the women out there to matter.” <span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre;"> </span><br />
And so development narratives become exclusionary and prescriptive; in fact it is almost seen as self-indulgent for a woman of privilege and relative freedom within society to air her grievances publicly. She is, after all, seen as being many positions ahead of her more disenfranchised peers on the hierarchical league table of good fortunes.<br />
<br />
And such perception has an impact on many fronts.<br />
<br />
In contexts across the continent where reporting mechanisms for abuse are generally weak, appearing to have agency deemed high enough to avoid such violence in the first place has an effect on the kind of service one receives. These underlying sentiments may manifest through service providers engaging in judgemental interrogation and/ or counselling, or making inferences around a victim’s financial capacity to pay a bribe or some such other incentive to get helped. It must be borne in mind, too, that these service providers are often working in under-resourced contexts with modest remuneration; therefore, what is perceived to be privilege may vary widely but still yield negative responses such as offense and resentment. <br />
<br />
This then brings into question the level of professionalism of such service provision and, further, if an all-inclusive rights-based approach is being employed. A type of service provision that empathises with some victims but subtly blames or exploits others is a travesty of social justice.<br />
<br />
Development remains largely centred around getting more women into positions of agency through education, employment and elevated status. Ironically, though - once they get there, women become periphery to the more mainstream focus of development on ‘grassroots women’. Perhaps even more worrying is that their critiques of patriarchal power become subtly deligitimised because of their movement from this periphery to the mainstream.<br />
<br />
This failure to understand the pervasive nature of patriarchy means that conversations like the one my friend and I had are difficult and taxing. We should be able to stand up for ourselves, we get told. Through our acquisition of all our head knowledge and experiences, we should – by now – be able to save ourselves.<br />
<br />
As society, we need to have ongoing and nuanced conversations about development and agency, especially when this pertains to women. Having access to quality education or some of the ‘finer things in life’ does not translate to a life free of violence or patriarchy. Violence in its many guises and forms is deeply entrenched within our cultures and we need to talk more about how it continually mutates as women practice more agency. In turn, there is a special onus on service providers for violence against women to remain conscious of judgements and biases that may serve as barriers to equitable access for all.<br />
<br />
Privilege will neither protect nor save us - as women - from violence.<br />

F. Scott Fitzgerald’s <em style="position: relative;">The Great Gatsby</em> takes place in a new, interesting, exciting time in American history. It take place right after women received their right to vote, their right to work, and they gained freedom that they never experienced before. Women started working in jobs only men would work and started doing a whole lot of other things that made them more independent. Unfortunately these changes didn’t have a big impact on the characters in the Fitzgerald’s novel, sure the women seem freer by being able to vote and having jobs, but during several scenes, we see women being controlled by men, submissive, and obedient. The men in the novel seem to be overpowered, controlling, and dishonest especially towards the women. Nearly a hundred years later, gender equality and the roles of women in today’s society still seem to be a serious issue. Society has improved itself from the times of the novel, for example in today’s world there are hundreds of powerful figures who are female, but gender roles and gender inequality still exists in America. Some people still believe that gender roles should not be changed, for example <em style="position: relative;">Spiderman </em>star Kristen Dunst stated in <a href="http://www.usmagazine.com/celebrity-news/news/kirsten-dunst-traditional-gender-role-comments-harpers-bazaar-uk-201484" style="color: #f64649; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">U.S. Magazine</a> that “We all have to get our own jobs and make our own money, but staying at home, nurturing, being a mother, cooking – it’s a valuable thing my mom created.” She stated her opinion and believes that the gender role of females staying at home and taking care of the children should not be changed, and no doubt she received a lot of criticism by saying that. Gender roles and inequality is one of the main issues we see in <em style="position: relative;">The Great Gatsby</em>, and it’s still one of the main issues our society faces today.<br /><br /> Throughout <em style="position: relative;">The Great Gatsby</em>, we witness many scenes when females are mistreated and even sometimes beat by the dominant male characters. In chapter two, we see a violent encounter between Mrs. Wilson and Tom Buchanan as they get into a serious argument when Mrs. Wilson yells “Daisy! Daisy! Daisy!’ shouted Mrs. Wilson, ‘I’ll say it whenever I want to! Daisy! Dai –‘Making a short deft movement, Tom Buchanan broke her nose with his open hand.” (Fitzgerald 37) This scene shows how women were mistreated and how Tom wants to be the dominant one by hitting Mrs. Wilson, who is a lower-class lady, which also signifies the mistreatment of the lower-class. The mistreatment of women in the novel can be related to this article found in the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/08/arts/design/study-finds-a-gender-gap-at-the-top-museums.html?_r=0" style="color: #f64649; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">NY Times</a> which talks about the gender gap at the top museums. According to the article “Women run just a quarter of the biggest art museums in the United States and Canada, and they earn about a third less than their male counterparts.” There are many more cases where women and men have the same career but the women are unequally treated. The gender roles and inequality we see in the novel still are a major issue our society faces every day.<br /><br />In the novel, we see a lot of inequality towards women and scenes with gender roles, where women were expected to act a certain way or do certain things. For example in chapter four the narrator explains a scene when Daisy got drunk instead of acting ladylike, “I was a bridesmaid. I came into her room half and hour before the bridal dinner, and found her lying on her bad as lovely as the June night in her flowered dress – as drunk as a monkey. She had a bottle of Sauterne in one hand and a letter in the other. … I was scared, I can tell you; I’d never seen a girl like that before.” (Fitzgerald 76.) This scene shows how Daisy gets drunk and how the narrator is shocked to see Daisy, a lady, in a state like this. Daisy just received a letter from Gatsby which explains why she was crying, but to get drunk like she did wasn't okay, but if it was a man to that, it might have been a different story. It’s unfair for someone to be expected to do something just cause of their gender, if someone wants to follow their passion whether or not society expects them of doing it or not, he/she should still do it. For example, the article <a href="http://www.huffingtonpost.com/cindy-hoang/be-a-girl-who-codes_b_5135489.html" style="color: #f64649; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">What It’s like to Be a Girl Who Codes</a>, the author explains her experiences being the only girl in coding because girls aren't usually expected to go into computer sciences or engineering majors. She states “In the tech world, people looked at you funny if you were not a male. This, too, was normal.” Even though some of the smartest engineers and researchers are girls, society still expects men to be engineers and into programming.<br /><br />Expectations and gender roles play a big part of <em style="position: relative;">The Great Gatsby</em> as well as today’s society. In the novel, Tom Buchanan talks about the expectations of Jordan Baker to her family and he states “She’s a nice girl.… They oughtn’t to let her run around the country this way. . . . She’s going to spend lots of week-ends out here this summer. I think the home influence will be very good for her.” (Fitzgerald 18-19) Jordan already has expectations she has to follow. Today, we have these expectations as well, but some of them are changing. For example the ABC news article <a href="http://abcnews.go.com/US/gender-roles-young-boys-pink-blue/story?id=14080844" style="color: #f64649; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">For Young Boys, Is Pink the New Blue</a>, the author explains that “For generations the view has held strong that while girls must dress in pink to be girls, boys can't do anything with pink, lest they turn into girls.” This expectation seems to be changing as more and more fathers are willing to let their sons dress freely and wear what color they want, instead of following the expectations set dozens of years ago.<br /><br />Gender roles and equality seemed to be a problem during the time <em style="position: relative;">The Great Gatsby</em> was written, and unfortunately today, this problem seems to still be lingering. Today, the problem doesn't seem to be as bad, but it still happens in many occasions. It is unfair for someone to be judged or treated by their gender, it doesn't make sense for women to not get paid as much just for being females, it’s truly backwards thinking.</div>

The old adage goes, “Men are from Mars; women are from Venus.” Another says men and women are like apples and oranges. The research is clear: there are differences both cognitive and physical between men and women. If we’re different, than why do spend so much time comparing ourselves as if we were the same?</div>

Equality is overused by both political parties. Political leaders aim to sway voters by using the term “equality.” Gender equality, income equality, and racial equality have all been political talking points. Equality is the state of being equal. If something is equal it is often interchangeable or of the same value. For example, 4 + 4 = 8, which means two fours could “replace” the number 8 without any ramifications. People aren’t interchangeable. Science proves that we are all unique but share similarities. There are obvious differences between men and women. Simply put, we’re beautifully different.</div>

A study done at the <a href="http://www.bbc.com/news/health-25198063" style="border: 0px; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; word-break: break-word; word-wrap: break-word;">University of Pennsylvania</a>, found that “male brains appeared to be wired front to back, with few connections bridging the two hemispheres. However, in females, the pathways criss-crossed between left and right.” The study also found that the stereotypes we associate with men and women have some scientific backing. Men are biologically wired more for perception and coordinated actions, and women’s for social skills and memory, making them better equipped for multitasking.</div>

Generally, women choose careers that ultimately pay less than their male counterparts. Women choose careers like secretaries, teachers, counselors, nurses, and accountants. Women can most certainly choose to be lawyers, physicians, and computer scientists. On the other hand, men have a natural skill set for technology, law enforcement, construction, and politics. We are not constrained to societal norms, but we have to recognize gender career trends due to biological nature. I’m not being discriminatory; it’s just the way we are wired.</div>

There are certain stereotypes associated with men and women. It’s important to note that stereotypes aren’t the same as prejudices. A prejudice is judging a group by their worst example. A stereotype is a typical or average behavior in a culture. Stereotypes are recognized patterns in society. There are certain things that will always be. Laissez-faire, let them be.</div>

No one will ever win the battle of the sexes. Men and women are not equal because they aren’t truly comparable. Men and women have different skill sets; that is okay. Instead of trying to create a genderless society, we need to celebrate </div>

<a href="http://i.bnet.com/blogs/gender2.jpg" style="color: #b12124; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"></a>According to all the media headlines about a new White House report, there's still a <a href="http://www.marketwatch.com/story/more-women-go-to-college-but-wage-gap-remains-2011-03-01" style="color: #b12124; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">big pay gap between men and women in America</a>. The report found that <a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2011/03/02/earlyshow/main20038250.shtml" style="color: #b12124; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">women earn 75 cents for every dollar men make</a>. Sounds pretty conclusive, doesn't it? Well, it's not. It's misleading.<br /><br />According to highly acclaimed career expert and best-selling author, <strong><a href="http://www.martynemko.com/about-marty" style="color: #b12124; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Marty Nemko</a></strong>, "The data is clear that for the same work men and women are paid roughly the same. The media need to look beyond the claims of feminist organizations."<br /><br />On a radio talk show, Nemko clearly and forcefully debunked that ultimate myth - that women make less than men - by explaining why, when you compare apples to apples, it simply isn't true. Even the <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/Women_in_America.pdf" style="color: #b12124; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">White House report: Women in America: Indicators of Social and Economic Well-Being</a> explains why. Simply put, men choose higher-paying jobs.<br /><br />Here are 8 reasons why the widely accepted and reported concept that women are paid less than men is a myth. The timing couldn't be better - today's<strong>International Women's Day 2011</strong>. What better time to empower women with the truth instead of treating them like victims. And, in case you're wondering, Nemko's source of information is primarily the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics - rock solid.<br /></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong>Why the Gender Pay Gap is a Complete Myth</strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong>Men are far more likely to choose careers that are more dangerous</strong>, so they naturally pay more. <a href="http://economix.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/08/20/the-most-dangerous-jobs-in-america/" style="color: #b12124; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Top 10 most dangerous jobs</a> (from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics): Fishers, loggers, aircraft pilots, farmers and ranchers, roofers, iron and steel workers, refuse and recyclable material collectors, industrial machinery installation and repair, truck drivers, construction laborers. They're all male-dominated jobs.</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong>Men are far more likely to work in higher-paying fields and occupations (by choice)</strong>. <a href="http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/rss_viewer/Women_in_America.pdf" style="color: #b12124; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">According to the White House report</a>, "In 2009, only 7 percent of female professionals were employed in the relatively high paying computer and engineering fields, compared with 38 percent of male professionals." Professional women, on the other hand, are far more prevalent "in the relatively low-paying education and health care occupations."<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong>Men are far more likely to take work in uncomfortable, isolated, and undesirable locations</strong> that pay more.<strong>Men work longer hours than women do</strong>. The average fulltime working man works 6 hours per week or 15 percent<em>longer </em>than the average fulltime working woman.<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong>Men are more likely to take jobs that require work on weekends and evenings</strong> and therefore pay more.<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong>Even within the same career category, men are more likely to pursue high-stress and higher-paid areas of specialization</strong>. For example, within the medical profession, men gravitate to relatively high-stress and high-paying areas of specialization, like surgery, while women are more likely to pursue relatively lower-paid areas of specialization like pediatrician or dentist.<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong>Despite all of the above, <a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704421104575463790770831192.html" style="color: #b12124; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">unmarried women who've never had a child actually <em>earn more</em></a></strong><strong><a href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748704421104575463790770831192.html" style="color: #b12124; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"> than unmarried men</a></strong>, according to Nemko and data compiled from the Census Bureau.<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong>Women business owners make less than half of what male business owners make</strong>, which, since they have no boss, means it's independent of discrimination. The reason for the disparity, according to a Rochester Institute of Technology study, is that money is the primary motivator for 76% of men versus only 29% of women. Women place a higher premium on shorter work weeks, proximity to home, fulfillment, autonomy, and safety, according to Nemko.</div>
<ol style="margin: 0px 0px 10px 40px; padding: 0px;"></ol>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
It's hard to argue with Nemko's position which, simply put, is this: When women make the same career choices as men, they earn the same amount as men. As far as I'm concerned, this is one myth that has been officially and completely busted. Maybe you should celebrate <strong>International Women's Day 2011</strong> by empowering women with the truth instead of treating them like victims ... which they're not.<strong><br /></strong></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
<strong>Update 3/18/11: </strong>A reader was kind enought to send me a link to "<a href="http://www.consad.com/content/reports/Gender%20Wage%20Gap%20Final%20Report.pdf" style="color: #b12124; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">An Analysis of Reasons for the Disparity in Wages Between Men and Women</a>" prepared, under contract, for the U.S. Department of Labor in 1/09:</div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 15px;">
"This study leads to the unambiguous conclusion that the differences in the compensation of men and women are the result of a multitude of factors and that the raw wage gap should not be used as the basis to justify corrective action. Indeed, there may be nothing to correct. The differences in raw wages may be almost entirely the result of the individual choices being made by both male and female workers."</div>

<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Ili ufikie kilele cha mafanikio yako ni lazima uwe mtu ambaye umeamua kufanya mambo kwa ubora wa hali ya juu sana bila kuchoka.Hivi umeshawahi kumtaja mtu mahali watu wakaanza kusema “Hapana,huyo hafai kabisa”.Swali ni kuwa je,wewe ukitajwa mahali kwa ajili ya jambo fulani watu watasemaje?.Siku zote watu hupenda kutoa fursa kwa wale ambao huwa wanafanya mambo kwa ufanisi na ubora wa hali ya juu bila kujali wanafanya biashara,wanafanya kazi za taaluma zao ama za kutumia nguvu.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Ni rahisi sana kujua kama unafanya mambo kwa ubora ama la?Hivi nikikuambia kuwa nitakupa milioni tano leo kama utafanya kazi unayofanya sasa vizuri zaidi ya ulivyowahi kuifanya,je utafanya kwa ziada ama utafanya kama siku zote?Bila shaka ni kuwa utaongeza nguvu,akili na maarifa ya ziada katika kuifanya kazi yako.Kitu ambacho watu wengi hawajui ni kwamba fursa nyingi wamezizuia maishani mwao kwa kufanya mambo bila ubora.Kuna watu kila kazi utakayowapa lazima uirudie kuifanya mara mbili kwani wataifanya kwa kiwango cha hali ya chini tu.Kama wewe ni mtu wa namna hii basi ujue unajizibia mafanikio yako mwenyewe.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Kuna mambo Mawili unatakiwa kuyazingatia kama kweli unataka kufanikiwa kwa kufanya mambo kwa ubora wa hali ya juu:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Moja ni kufanya maamuzi kuwa wewe utakuwa mtu wa kufanya mambo kwa ubora bila kujali mazingira,malipo ama jambo lolote lile.Ili uweze kufanikiwa katika hili ni lazima uwe mtu ambaye ukiwa na jukumu la kufanya katika maisha yako ulifanye kwa asilimia 100.Kutofanya mambo kwa ubora ni mazoea tu wala sio kukosa uwezo.Hivi haujawahi kuona watu wanavaa hovyohovyo si kwa sababu hawana hela ila ni kwa sababu hawajazoea kufanya mambo kwa ubora.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Amua kuanzia leo kuwa chochote ambacho kitapita katika mikono yako basi ijulikane hivyo kwa sababu ya ubora wa kazi ambayo utakuwa umeifanya.Hebu jaribu kujichunguza leo-Kuna maeneo gani ya maisha yako ambayo watu wamekuwa wakilalamika kuwa haufanyi vizuri?Ukishayagundua hebu chukua hatua ya kuyarekebisha kwa kuanza kufanya mambo kwa ubora wa hali ya juu.Moja kati ya changamoto inayoweza kuzuia mafanikio yako ni ile hali ya watu kuhitimisha kuwa wewe ni mtu wa namna fulani;pengine huwa wanasema-“Yule kwa kawaida ni mchelewaji”.Kama kuna eneo la maisha yako watu kuna “ukawaida wako” wanausema basi namna nzuri sio kubishana nao bali ni kuanza kufanya tofauti na wanachosema hadi watakapoanza kukuona tofauti.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Jambo la pili ili kuishi katika kiwango cha ubora ni ile hali ya kila wakati kujiuliza mbinu mpya na bora zaidi ya kufanya ambacho unafanya kwa sasa hivi.Usikubali kufanya mambo kwa mazoea bila kutumia muda wa kujiuliza namna bor aya kufanya unachofanya kwa sasa.Mafanikio hutokana na kutumia muda wako kuboresha kile ambacho unakifanya.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Siku moja nilisikia habari ya mwanamke mmoja ambaye alikuwa kila siku siku akikaanga samaki huwa lazima amkate nusu kwanza.Sasa siku moja mtoto wake akamuuliza-“Mama hivi kwa nini kila siku unamkata samaki nusu,kwa nini haumkaangi akiwa mzima?”-Yule mama akasema “Hivi ndivyo bibi yako huwa anafanya siku zote na tangu nimezaliwa hatujawahi kukaanga samaki mzima”.Basi yule mtoto wa udadisi akaenda kwa bibi yake akamuuliza pia swali lile lile na akaambiwa-“Mimi nilimkuta mama yangu huwa anafanya hivi na miaka yote sijawahi kufanya tofauti”.Basi baada ya hapo mtoto aliamua kwenda kwa bibi yake akamuuliza tena swali hilohilo-naye akamwambia-“Mimi nilikuwa nakata samani nusu kwa sababu sufuria langu la kukaangia lilikuwa dogo samnaki mzima hakuweza kutosha”.Kumbe miaka yote hiyo watu wamekuwa wakifanya kitu ambacho hakina umuhimu na hawajui kuwa wangeweza kufanya kwa ubora zaidi.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Ndivyo ilivyo katika maisha-Kuna watu wengi sana ambao hufanya mambo kwa mazoea tu na hawajawahi kujiuliza kama wanachofanya kuna umuhimu wa kuendelea hivyo ama wanaweza kubadilisha kitu.Acha na tabia ya kufanya biashara kwa mazoea,acha tabia ya kufanya kazi kwa mazoea-Kila wakati jiulize,hivi kuna njia gani bora ya kufanya hiki nifanyacho?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Leo hebu jaribu kutumia dakika chache kufikiria ni njia gani bora unaweza kuzitumia ili kufanya kwa ubora zaidi kile ambacho unakifanya sasa.Kumbuka kuwan kama ukiamua kutumia muda kufikiria kidogo tu utapata njia bora zaidi kuliko unayotumia sasa.Fikiria njia bora ya kufanya biashara yako na usitumie uzoefu,fikiria njia bora ya kufanya kazi yako na usitumie uzoefu.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Kumbuka kuwa ndoto yako inawezekana,</div>

<span style="color: #666666;">MAANA YA NENO WASUKUMA Wasukuma ni mkusnyiko wa makundi madogomadogo kutoka maeneo jirani , na kwamba kundi kubwa zaidi likiwa limetoka Kusini mwa eneo hili la mkoa wa Mwanza.Jina hili limetokana na neno SUKUMA maana yake wa lugha ya Kisukuma na Kinyamwezi KASKAZINI, yaani moja wapo wa ya pande nne a dunia yetu. Wanyamwezi ambao lugha yao inafanana sana na Kisukuma hutuita sisi tulio Kaskazini mwao "Bhasukuma" yaani watu wa KASKAZINI. Nasi huwaita "Bhadakama" yaani watu wa KUSINI.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

</span><br /><span style="color: #666666;">Tangu siku zote, wasukuma na wanyamwezi walijulikana kuwa wao ni "Bhantu" na kutokana na neno hilo kumekuja kujulikana kundi linaloitwa WABANTU. Kundi hili mara zote limetambulikana kwa lugha wanayozungumza ya KIBANTU. Hivyo, Wanyamwezi, Wakimbu hadi Wabemba walioko Zambia ni kundi kubwa la wabantu kufuatia lugha wanazozungumza.</span><br /><span style="color: #666666;">Taarifa zingine kuhusu chimbuko la wasukuma kutoka kwenye mtandao wa internet…</span><a href="http://www.mwanzacommunity.org/%85http:/www.photo.net/sukuma/royal.html" style="color: #888888; text-decoration: none;">kwenye anwani hii.</a><span style="color: #666666;">www.mwanzacommunity.com.org</span></div>

Kama ni kweli kuwa mtoto hawezi kuzaliwa bila ya baba na mama basi hawezi kukamilika bila ya baba na mama. Ni kweli tumesikia na kujifunza mengi kuhusu mama na nafasi yake kwa mtoto. Mama anao wajibu wake kama mama na ndio maana ni mama na hawezi kuwa baba. Mama anaweza kuyafanya mambo mengi kama baba lakini hawezi kuwa na ladha ya baba. Hivyo basi nafasi ya baba ni muhimu kwa malezi na makuzi ya mtoto. </div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px;">
<i><b>Na nafasi ya baba na umuhimu wake ni zaidi ya pesa anazotoa kwa matumizi ya familia na huduma kwa mtoto. Baba anayo nafasi kubwa sana kwa mtoto katika kukua kwake na hata maendeleo yake. Malezi na maendeleo ya mtoto aliyekosa baba huwa na mapungufu kwa mtoto kijamii,kisaikolojia,kibaolojia,kiakili, kiroho na hata kimaumbile.</b></i></div>

Bila baba maisha ya mtoto hukosa mengi ambaye humfanya mtoto kutokamilika. Mtoto bila baba hatakamilika hata awe na umri mkubwa kivipi. Na ikumbukwe kuwa sio kila mtu anayeonekana ni mtu mzima amekamilika kimakuzi na muda mwingine wengine hushindwa kuwa baba kwasababu hawakupata malezi ya baba, hivyo hawakukamilika. Baba ni ukamilifu wa mtoto. Kama mtoto hawezi kuzaliwa bila baba na mama basi hawezi kukamilika bila malezi ya baba na mama. Mtoto anamhitaji baba. Mwanaume anapokuwa baba dunia yake hubadilika, na yeye huwa zaidi ya mume wa mtu – kwasababu – anaingia katika wajibu wa kulea na kumwongoza mtoto.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Na katika familia wababa wengi huonekana kimwili zaidi, lakini moyoni wengi wao huwa hawapo - kwani wengi huwa mbali na watoto kiasi ambacho huonekana kama wasaidizi tu katika kumlea mtoto na kujisahau kuwa , mama hawezi kuwa badala ya baba na wao kama wakina baba wanao wajibu mkubwa zaidi, mbali na kuhudumia familia , pia wanahusika sana katika makuzi ya watoto wao kama wababa.<br />Baba ni ufunguo wa mtoto kupata ujasiri wa maisha, sio kwamba mama hawezi kuyafanya hivyo bali mama hufanya kwa nafasi yake, lakini ladha ya kibaba inapatikana kwa baba mwenyewe. Baba anahusika sana katika malezi na makuzi ya mtoto , hasa katika mambo yafuatayo;</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
a) Baba ni Nguzo ya Kujenga Mahusiano Mazuri na Mama wa watoto: Kipimo kikubwa cha ubaba si uwezo wa kifedha tu peke yake, si umbile na wala sauti yake bali ni uwezo wa kutengeneza mfumo mzuri wa mahusiano kati ya yeye na mke wake. Baba ni kichwa cha familia, ni mhusika mkuu anayetakiwa kutengeneza mfumo wa familia. Ni mhusika mkuu anayetakiwa kujenga nguzo za ndoa kama amani,upendo,maendeleo na uwajibikaji. Ndoa ina mengi lakini ni baba ndio mwenye mengi ya kuifanya ndoa ikae sawa. Kwa kuyafanya hayo huweza kujenga picha nzuri kwa watoto na hata katika kukua kwao.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
b) Kuwa na muda mzuri na watoto: Akili ya mtoto mdogo hutafisiri na hutambua mapenzi kwa muda mtu anaochukiwa kuwa na mtoto huyo. Kwa bahati mbaya katika jamii yetu muda wa baba katika familia huwa ni mchache sana; hata kama dunia ipo busy kiasi gani baba anatakiwa kujua kuwa muda wake na familia ni wa maana sana katika maisha ya watoto. Watoto huweza kujifunza mengi sana kwa uwepo wake na baba pia anaweza kuyajua mengi ya watoto wake na hata kuyarekebisha au kuyaboresha.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
c) Baba ni mlinzi na mhusika mkuu wa Familia:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Baba ni kiungo muhimu katika familia, ni mhusika mkuu katika kuhudumia familia na hata ulinzi wa watoto.<b> <i>Kipimo cha mwanaume si uwezo wake wa kimwili bali ni uwezo wa kutoa huduma katika familia na hata kuwa mhusika mlinzi wa watoto katika usalama wao kimaadili na hata kitabia. Hata kama baba hana uwezo wa kifedha bado anayo nguvu ya kibaba katika hili. Si kwamba mama hawezi kuwalinda watoto,lakini hawezi kufanya kama baba, yatupasa wote tufahamu ya kuwa; hakuna mama kama baba na wala hakuna baba kama mama.</i></b></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
d) Baba ni mwalimu wa familia:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Maisha yana mengi ya kujifunza, mtoto ni kiumbe asiye na kosa. Hupokea na kujifunza chochote atakachofundishwa. Ni wajibu wa baba kujua mtoto ajifunze nini katika maisha, ajue nini na aishi vipi. Baba amepitia mengi na katika hayo baba anaweza kuzungumza na mtoto katika lugha ya kawaida ili kumfunza mtoto katika hayo. Baba ni mwalimu wa maisha kwa mtoto. Baba ni zaidi ya kocha wa mpira katika maisha ya mtoto. Baba ni dunia ya mtoto.Hatima ya maisha ya mtoto katika makuzi,maisha,nidhamu na hata maadili ipo mikononi mwa baba. Baba ni mhusika mkuu na kisababishi kikubwa cha kwanini mtoto awe/ amekuwa jinsi alivyo. Baba ni ufunguo wa maisha ya mtoto.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
e) Baba ni mfano wa kuigwa wa mtoto (role model) :</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
Uhusiano wa baba na mtoto una maana kubwa sana. Baba ni chanzo cha kwanini mtoto hufeli au hufaulu , chanzo cha mtoto kujua au kutokujua. Maisha ya baba ni picha ya maisha ya baadaye ya mtoto. Tabia ya baba ya nje na ndani ya familia ni kioo cha mtoto. Yawapasa wakinana baba wote watambue kuwa: ‘Wao ni kioo cha familia, haswa kwa watoto’. Chochote kile anachofanya nje na ndani ya familia,vyovyote vile anavyoishi na watu wa nje na ndani ya familia na hata matumizi ya hela na kazi yake ndivyo anavyomjenga au kumbomoa mtoto.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #1d2129; font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.32px; margin-bottom: 6px; margin-top: 6px;">
<br />Nahitimisha kwa kusema;<b> kuwa baba si kuzaa tu , maana ingekuwa hivyo - hata wanyama wanazaa pia. </b>Kuwa baba ni zaidi ya kuzaa; ni kuwa mhusika kwa kujua kabisa kuwa maisha ya mtoto yanaweza kutengenezwa au kuharibiwa kutokana na kuwepo au kutokuwepo kwa mwongozo kutoka kwa baba. Hivyo basi baba anayo nafasi kubwa sana katika malezi na maendeleo ya mtoto katika maisha yake, mtoto ambaye ndiye anayetegemewa kuijenga nchi yetu ya Tanzania.</div>

<b>Simameni basi wakina baba na mchukue nafasi zenu, wako wapi wakina baba ambao watasimama na mimi leo na kusema, tutashiriki kikamilifu katika malezi na makuzi, pia katika kulinda familia zetu na kuongoza watoto wetu kwa hekima, busara na upendo?</b></div>

Akizungumza wakati wa maonyesho ya sabasaba jijini Dar es Salaam, Kaparata ameeleza kuwa alitumia vifaa vingi vinavyopatikana hapa nchi kuunda gari hilo na kuwa miongoni mwa vitu hivyo vingine alivitengeneza mwenyewe na vingine alichukua vya aina nyingine ya magari.</div>

<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Alisema kuwa amekutana na changamoto nyingi kwenye kutengeneza gari hilo hasa suala la ufundi ambapo mara nyingine alikuwa akipeleka bati au bomba likunjwe kwa vipimo alivyotaka yeye lakini fundi anakosea hivyo inamlazimu kutupa na kuanza upya.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Changamoto nyingine ilikuwa ni kukatishwa tamaa ambapo watu walikuwa wakimwambia kuwa hawezi na kuwa suala la kutengeneza magari awaachie wazungu.</div>
<div style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; margin-bottom: 1.857em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Mbali na ugunduzi huu wa kuvutia, Kaparata anafanya kazi SIDO Vingunguti ambapo anatengeneza mashine za kutotole vifaranga. Na alisema kuwa akiamua kutengeneza gari jingine, ndani ya mwezi mmoja atakuwa amekamilisha.</div>

KWA Jacob Louis ‘Kaparata’ (38) mkazi wa Gongo la Mboto jijini Dar es Salaam, kutokusoma shule hakujamzuia kuonyesha kipaji chake cha ubunifu baada ya kufanikiwa kutengeneza gari la kifahari aina ya ‘Kaparata’ ambalo limeacha gumzo kwa wageni wanaoshiriki maonyesho ya biashara ya kimataifa – Saba Saba.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Kaparata, baba wa watoto watatu ambaye hakuwahi kuliona darasa lolote, ameweza kutengeneza gari la ‘kifahari’ alilolipa jina la Kaparata ambalo kwa hakika wengi wamevutiwa nalo na wengine kutamani kulinunua.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Kwani linauzwa kiasi gani? Hili linafaa sana kwenda nalo shamba,” alisema mwananchi mmoja. Mwingine akasema: “Hili ni zuri kama gari aina ya Jeep, la kutokea na familia kwenda kupunga upepo.”</div>

Naam. Walikuwa ni wananchi waliotembelea Banda la SIDO ambako ndiko alikoliegesha gari hilo kwa maonyesho pamoja na bidhaa zake nyingine, kwa kuwa yeye ni miongoni mwa vijana wanaonufaika na fursa za Shirika hilo la Viwanda Vidogo ambalo linawakusanya wajasiriamali na wabunifu pamoja ili kuonyesha kazi zao.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Yeye anafanyia shughuli zake katika eneo la SIDO Vingunguti na hata gari hilo ndiko lilikotengenezewa.</div>

“Sikubahatika kusoma hata darasa moja kutokana na matatizo ya kifamilia, huu ni utundu wangu ambao nimekuwa nao tangu nikiwa mdogo. Nilianza kutengeneza magari ya kuchezea kwa kutumia mabati, lakini daima ndoto zangu zilikuwa kutengeneza gari langu mwenyewe, nashukuru Mungu ndoto hizo zimetimia,” anasema Jacob ambaye alizaliwa Mpanda mkoani Katavi kabla ya kuhamia Kigoma ambako baba yake Mzee Louis Jacob alikuwa dereva katika Mamlaka ya Pamba.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Akiwa mtoto wa saba kati ya watoto nane, Jacob anasema kwamba ni wawili tu kati yao waliowahi kuingia katika vyumba vya madarasa ambao ni dada yake wa pili kuzaliwa ambaye aliishia darasa la nne na kaka yake wa tatu kuzaliwa aliyemaliza darasa la saba.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Anasema, baada ya wazazi wao kutengana mwaka 1993, mama yao aliamua kuwachukua yeye na ndugu zake na kurudi Mpanda ambako maisha yaliendelea kuwa magumu mno.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Elimu ya zamani, hasa ya darasa la sababu, haikuweza kumfikisha popote hata yule kaka yangu, kwa hiyo tulijikita katika shughuli za shamba tu,” anaeleza.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Hata hivyo, anasema kwamba licha ya kutoingia darasani, hivi sasa anajua kusoma baada ya kufundishwa kusoma a, e, i, o, u na mpwawe Sarah William mwaka 1993 na yeye akaziunganisha herufi hizo.</div>

<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Utengenezaji wa gari</strong></div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Jacob anaeleza kwamba, gari la ‘Kaparata’ enye muundo tofauti na gari lolote duniani, amelitengeneza kwa kipindi cha miezi mitatu tu kabla ya maonyesho ya mwaka huu ya Saba Saba ambapo limemgharimu kiasi cha Shs. 12,850,000.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Nilipokuwa mdogo nilikuwa mtundu sana nikitengeneza magari na vitu mbalimbali kwa kuiga nilivyoviona, ndipo watoto wenzangu wakanipachika jina la ‘Kaparata’, ambalo nimezowea na kuamua kuiita kampuni yangu kwa jina hilo.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Tangu mdogo nilipenda kuangalia filamu na nilivutiwa na gari moja nililoliona kwenye filamu ya Delta Force ya Chuck Norris (The Flyer 72 Advanced Light Strike Vehicle) nikaapa kwamba lazima nije nitengeneze gari la aina hiyo,” anasema Kaparata.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Kaparata anasema kwamba, gari lake hilo limetumia vifaa vingi vinavyopatikana hapa nchini.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Chassis nimeitengeneza kwa kutumia square pipe, bodi limelisuka kwa kutumia brake pipes zinazotumika kutengenezea vitanda na nikatumia mabati ya gauge 18 ambayo yanatumika kutengenezea mageti,” anafafanua.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Anaongeza: “Nilipomaliza kutengeneza chassis nikaenda kununua injini, diff, gear box na matairi, ambavyo vyote ni vya gari aina ya Suzuki Carry. Unajua Suzuki Carry ni fupi ina futi 10, lakini nilichokifanya ni kuongeza chassis hadi fupi 12. Injini ile ina nguvu sana ila kigari kile kimenyimwa bodi. Sasa gari yangu hii imeonekana kuwa na nguvu, ina kasi.”</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Hata hivyo, anasema kwamba, alitumia muda wa wiki mbili kutengeneza chassis ambayo alihakikisha inanyooka na kukaa sawa kabla ya kuendelea na utundu mwingine.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Hivi sasa nikitembea na gari yangu, hata kama tumeongozana na magari mengine ya kifahari, watu wataitazama gari yangu mitaani na wamevutiwa nayo huku wengine wakinitaka nitengeneze mengine niyauze,” anasema.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Anasema wakati anaanza kuitengeneza gari hiyo vifaa pekee alivyokuwa navyo ni drill machine, grander na welding machine – vifaa vitatu tu, ambapo mabati na vifaa vingine alivinunua.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Kwa kuwa yeye si fundi mchundo, mabati na vifaa vingine aliyapeleka kwa mafundi mchundo ambao walimkunjia kwa muundo na vipimo alivyovitaka yeye.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Lakini nimeingia hasara kubwa kwa sababu wakati mwingine unampelekea mtu akukunjie bomba au bati, lakini anakosea, inabidi kulitupa na kutafuta jingine.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Nilipokuwa nayabeba mabati kupeleka kwenye viwanda kwa ajili ya kukunja wengi waliniona kama mwendawazimu, wengine wakanikatisha tamaa na kusema magari wanatengeneza Wazungu miye Mswahili maskini wapi na wapi!” anasema.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Hata hivyo, anamshukuru mkewe Elizabeth William aliyemzalia watoto Beatrice (14), William (10) na Neema (2) ambaye alikuwa akimtia moyo kila wakati aendelee na ubunifu wake.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Unajua hata kule kwenye viwanda nilikokuwa napeleka hawakuamini, kwa sababu nilipoyabeba mabati wengine walidhani nakwenda kutengeneza ndoo, lakini baada ya mabati hayo kukunjwa kama nilivyotaka, wote walishangaa,” anasema.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Ukilitazama gari hilo kwa mbali unaweza kudhani ni aina mpya ya Jeep ingawa muundo ni tofauti kabisa, na kama utalikaribia utashangaa kuona vikorombwezo vingi.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Hiki kioo cha mbele ni cha Land Cruiser ila nimekata mashavu ya pembeni. Indicator ni za Bajaj aina ya TVS, shoo ni za vifaa mbalimbali vya magari. Nimeweka vent kama za Ranger za kuingizia hewa kwenye air cleaner na mengine kibao,” anasema.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Kaparata anasema kwamba, ubunifu ni gharama kubwa, lakini mahali alipofikia kwa sasa anajiona kama ni mhandisi aliyebobea ingawa kikwazo ni mtaji pamoja na kutambulika na mamlaka zinazohusika.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Mheshimiwa Rais Magufuli amesema anataka kuona Tanzania yenye viwanda ambayo ndiyo nia pekee ya kutengeneza aira kwa sisi vijana, sasa mimi nimeamua kuanza bila kupata msaada wa mtu yeyote mpaka nimekamilisha, ninachokihitaji kwa sasa kwanza ni kutambuliwa na serikali kwa ubunifu wangu, halafu niweze kupatiwa mtaji na mazingira bora zaidi ya kufanyia kazi.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Kama leo nitaamua kutengeneza gari nyingine kama hii, ninaamini ndani ya mwezi mmoja nitakuwa nimeitengeneza na itakuwa bora kuliko hii kwa sababu nimejifunza makossa yote wakati nahangaika na hii hapa,” anaongeza.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">Amewezaje kumudu gharama?</strong></div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Kaparata anasema kwamba, mpaka anakamilisha kutengeneza gari lake hakuchukua hata senti tano ya mtu bali ni fedha zake mwenyewe kutoka katika vyanzo vingine.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Anasema kwamba, wengi walimcheka na kusema kama anazo fedha za kuchezea bora akawape maskini kwa vile asingeweza kufanikiwa kutengeneza gari, lakini kwa kuwa alikuwa na ndoto zake akaamua kuyapuuza maneno yao na kukwangua kila akiba aliyokuwa nayo kutimiza hayo malengo.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
“Mimi ninafanyia kazi zangu pale SIDO Vingunguti, zaidi natengeneza mashine za kutotolesha vifaranga ambazo kidogo kidogo ndizo zinazoniingizia fedha, hivyo hata fedha za kutengenezea gari hili zimetokana na kazi hizo,” anasema.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Anaongeza kwamba, licha ya kutokusoma, lakini utundu na ubunifu wake vinamwezesha kuendesha maisha yake na amekuwa tegemeo kubwa kwa ndugu zake wote.</div>
<div style="background: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Amewaasa vijana wengine waliosoma na hawana ajira pamoja na wale ambao hawakubahatika kupata elimu kutokukata tamaa, bali wanaweza kutumia vipaji na nguvu walizojaaliwa na Mwenyezi Mungu kufanya maendeleo.</div>

<b>When I bodysurfed with my three <span style="font-size: 1.125em;">brothers as a kid, I didn’t hate wiping out as much as I hated my brothers’ laughing at me when I emerged from the wash of a big wave spluttering and gasping for air, swimsuit askew. I had a choice, I could either stop bodysurfing (and thus get left behind) or get used to getting dumped. Eventually I figured out a solution: wipe yourself out so you get used to it and don’t dread it as much.</span></b></div>

What I discovered after a few self-imposed poundings was that if you can find the sand, you can find the air; it’s in the exact opposite direction. And the wave is always happy to introduce you to the sand. Usually it was right where my face was planted. So, if you let the surf fling you about a bit, you can eventually get the sand under your feet and emerge from the water with your swimsuit and composure more or less intact. I still got dumped, but I did it with a little more dignity.</div>

What I now realize I was learning to do, was fail.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
Women need to fail. They need to fail hard and they need to fail often. It’s the only way they’re going to succeed. It seems cruel to say that. For many women, lack of success is as familiar as breakfast cereal, except they eat it three meals a day. But a new poll conducted for <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Time</em> and <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">Real Simple</em> magazines suggests that an unwillingness to fail or a fear of doing anything that could lead to a washout might be one of the pinch-points that is impeding women’s progress to the head office. Failures happen to everyone, but these poll results suggest that women fear them more and perhaps don’t bounce out of the surf from them quite so readily.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
As part of an ongoing national conversation about why women occupy leadership roles in much smaller numbers than their education, their ability and just simple math would suggest, the polling company Penn Shoen Berland asked 1000 women about success, what it meant to them and what they felt it took to be successful. They also asked 300 men some of the questions to offer a point of comparison. The women ranged in age from 20 to 69 and about 40% of them were in paid employment.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
Some of the poll data confirmed what our gut tells us: for women success is less like a spearfishing trip and more like collecting shells on the beach. It’s not a linear process, with just one goal in mind. Secondly, motherhood has a huge influence on women’s outlook, both in her definition of success (it widens) and in her bandwidth (it bifurcates). Other results were more surprising: being good at their jobs was vastly more important to women than men in our survey. And almost half of them believe they are paid less than men for doing an equivalent job.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
The biggest bogeyman in the discussions about what’s holding women back is a lack of confidence. Why do women not ask for higher salaries when negotiating? Confidence. Why are women the last to put up their hands for a promotion? Confidence. Why don’t more women run for office? Confidence. Plus all the guff they’d have to take about their hair.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
That idea may need refining. One of the clearest finding to emerge from the Time/Real Simple poll is that women aren’t much less confident than men. About 45% of people regardless of gender regard themselves as confident. But many more women—nearly 80%—say it’s an important part of success. Only 63% of men do. That is, women and men are confident in equal measure. But more women think it’s important.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
Female workers, the poll numbers show, labor just as hard, believe they are just as qualified, and have as much professional respect as their peers. That sounds a lot like confidence. Yet they just don’t seem to swim for the waves the men do. Roughly three quarters of both men and women said they would not want their boss’s job. But, if offered the position, more than half the men would take it anyway and fewer than a third of the women would. Why do the men believe they could do the job and the women don’t?</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
The demands of motherhood may be one of the forces at play here, but it’s not the only one. According to the poll, women’s hunger for success dwindles as they age. Almost 75% of women in their 20s regard it as very important to be successful. By their 40s and 50s—the age at which people often become senior executives—only 50% of the women feel the same way. About half the 20 year old women surveyed considered it vital to get promoted. Less than a third of women in their 40s felt the same way.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
If this were all just because women wanted time and energy and bandwidth for that resource-intensive home-based start-up called parenting, then it follows that their desire to contribute to the success of their team or to work as hard would ebb too. But it doesn’t wane at all, no matter the age. Women seem to want to put in the time and effort, but not to expect the rewards. Or the status.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
Perhaps there’s an answer in women’s attitude to innovation. More than 40% of women believe the ability to innovate is one of the passports to success. But only a few women think they carry that passport. What do confidence and innovation have in common? They can’t be learned without making mistakes. Acquiring them without going through failure is not an option. Failure often hurts, but as Lawrence of Arabia said (in the movie, at least) “the trick is <em style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box;">not minding</em> that it hurts” and swimming back through the swell to try again. Women seem less eager to do this. What is innovation, after all, but failing to solve a problem a little less badly each time?</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
One nugget from the poll encapsulates this quite neatly: to prepare for a big presentation women are more likely than men to do a lot of research and give themselves a pep talk. Men, on the other hand, were more likely than women to give themselves a treat, take meds or practice their power pose in the bathroom. The men are much more likely to revel in the high wire act, to enjoy the risk, than women. (Either that or their meds are amazing.)</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
It makes sense that women are risk averse. That tendency has protected them and their offspring for centuries. It fortified those pioneering female business leaders who were under a higher level of scrutiny even as recently as this decade. But if women hope to get to the corner office, to that mythical realm that smells like Y chromosomes and golf shoes, they have to be prepared to fall on their faces. And get back on up again.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
So here’s a suggestion. Go forth, ladies and louse up. Muff it. Make a blunder. Botch it up royally. Make a complete balls of it. The guys do it all the time. Just before they get promoted.</div>
<div style="-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased; -webkit-tap-highlight-color: transparent; box-sizing: border-box; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-top: 1em; max-width: 640px; width: 638.75px;">
