💝 One for you, one for me: the psychology of giving. Gift-giving is a tradition that goes way back – almost to the dawn of mankind! So why do we give gifts, putting time and money into little things without expecting anything in return? The benefits of gift giving are varied – and they are as good for the giver as the receiver, if not more so. 1- It's a pleasure to please: (kindness is (and always will be) “in”.). 2- Stronger Bonds: the act of giving creates a bond between you and the recipient. 3- The power of empathy: you want to please the recipient – whether it's a nice surprise or something to cheer her/him up. 4- Express gratitude: it is a sign that you recognize the important place that such a person occupies in your life. 5- It is (sometimes) reciprocal: we don't like to admit it, but sometimes we give gifts in the hope of receiving something in return. Sometimes we even fear receiving a gift because of what it will entail later. That doesn't mean you're not generous or that you want people to be "indebted" to you. It just means that you want to build a balanced relationship, where both parties are treated equally. THANK YOU ... too! 🙂

🌈 "Use Constructive Criticism as a Fuel for Growth" Hey there, young leaders of the world! 🌍 In the pursuit of our dreams and aspirations, we often encounter one inevitable companion on our journey: criticism. In a world where the spotlight shines brightly on every step we take, It's easy to feel the weight of judgment and scrutiny. "The world is quick to criticise and find fault and much slower to praise and find the positive." It's a harsh reality we face, and it might feel like you're swimming against the current. But let me share a secret with you: the most successful leaders in history were not immune to criticism; they learned to embrace it and leverage it for their benefit. Don't fear criticism! Embrace it, for it holds the potential to transform you into an even better version of yourself. 🏌♂️ "If you're not open to constructive criticism, then you're not open to truly growing as a person." Criticism, like rain on a summer day, can either be a gentle nourishment for our growth or a destructive force that uproots us entirely. It's all about how we perceive and handle it. When faced with criticism, it's essential to take a step back, detach our emotions, and objectively evaluate the feedback. Instead of viewing it as an attack on our abilities, see it as an opportunity for improvement. 🏌♂️ "Don't fear Criticism. Know when it comes, it's the result of your success, not your failures." Criticism often arises when we start to make significant strides towards our goals. It's a sign that you are moving in the right direction, catching the attention of others, and leaving an impact. Instead of fearing it, embrace criticism as a testament to your progress. Recognize that those who criticize are usually the ones who either envy your accomplishments or are striving to reach a level of excellence that you've attained. 🏌♂️ "Be the person who encourages others, who chooses to see the good in others and speaks it out loud." As young leaders, we have the power to change the narrative surrounding criticism. Let's lead by example and be the ones who uplift and inspire others. Instead of being quick to criticize others, be the person who extends a helping hand and provides constructive feedback. 🏌♂️ "Be frequent in your praise and thoughtful in your criticism." Balance is the key to effective leadership. While it's crucial to address areas that need improvement, do so with thoughtfulness and empathy. Remember that criticism doesn't have to be harsh or demeaning; it can be delivered in a constructive manner that motivates the individual to do better. Your journey has just begun, and the world is waiting to see the incredible leader you are destined to become. Stay positive, encourage others, and lead with empathy and grace. You've got this! Keep striving, keep shining, and keep inspiring! With passion and determination Sameeir Anant VC- Respective owner

While Roland Garros takes centre stage, ITF World Tennis Tour events continue to take place around the world. Currently being held in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda, is the second of two J30 tournaments. These back-to-back events are the first junior tournaments to be held in Uganda since 2009. The ITF’s mission is to broaden opportunity and develop tennis around the globe, with this very much evident in Africa where this year more than 110 junior tournaments will be held in excess of 20 nations. This is a figure which has increased year on year and more starkly of late, with 78 tournaments staged in Africa during 2019 and just 13 across 10 nations a decade ago in 2013. #tennis #opportunity #growingthegame #uganda

Fascinating visual of the surface of the Earth! There are over 510 million square kilometers of area on the surface of Earth, but less than 30% of this is covered by land. The rest is water, in the form of vast oceans. The Earth is covered at 70% by water: 27% territorial waters and 43% international waters or areas beyond national jurisdiction. Areas Beyond National Jurisdiction In the past, nations adhered to the freedom-of-the-seas doctrine, a 17th century principle that limited jurisdiction over the oceans to a narrow area along a nation’s coastline. The rest of the seas did not belong to any nation and were free for countries to travel and exploit. This situation lasted into the 20th century, but by mid-century there was an effort to extend national claims as competition for offshore resources became increasingly fierce and ocean pollution became an issue. In 1982, the United Nations adopted the Law of the Sea Convention which extended international law over the extra-territorial waters. The convention established freedom-of-navigation rights and set territorial sea boundaries 12 miles (19 km) offshore with exclusive economic zones up to 200 miles (322 km) offshore, extending a country’s influence over maritime resources. #data #share #water #statistics #visualization #law #travel #maritime #offshore #offshore
