Ricky Martin has confirmed he is gay- kazi ipo

Hatimae ameamua kusema ukweli kwamba yeye si ridhki.


While it was widely known that he had a liking for the guys, Ricky Martin has finally officially announced that he's gay.


The "Livin' La Vida Loca" hitmaker has often been the subject of gay rumors - fueling speculation in 2008 when he adopted twin baby boys, Matteo and Valentino, born to a surrogate mother.

Coming out of the closet via a message on his Web site, Martin wrote, "A few months ago I decided to write my memoirs, a project I knew was going to bring me closer to an amazing turning point in my life."

"From the moment I wrote the first phrase I was sure the book was the tool that was going to help me free myself from things I was carrying within me for a long time. Things that were too heavy for me to keep inside. Writing this account of my life, I got very close to my truth. And this is something worth celebrating."
While many close to Ricky have advised him against the full confession, the singer admits, "Allowing myself to be seduced by fear and insecurity became a self-fulfilling prophecy of sabotage. Today I take full responsibility for my decisions and my actions."

He adds, "These years in silence and reflection made me stronger and reminded me that acceptance has to come from within and that this kind of truth gives me the power to conquer emotions I didn't even know existed. What will happen from now on? It doesn't matter. I can only focus on what's happening to me in this moment. The word 'happiness' takes on a new meaning for me as of today. It has been a very intense process. Every word that I write in this letter is born out of love, acceptance, detachment and real contentment. Writing this is a solid step towards my inner peace and vital part of my evolution. I am proud to say that I am a fortunate homosexual man. I am very blessed to be who I am."

Office gossip; Ni lazima sana kuendekeza umbea kazini?

This is a major problem at workplaces. You will hear in the corridors "have you heard the latest" so and so are doing this and that........ ili mradi tu umbea. Hebu nitumieni maoni yeu, do you think gossiping is a necessarry evil? is it possible to work in a gossip free environment? Do we need to put in place anti-gossip strategies. Just asses yourself: Have you seen gossip used as a weapon in your office? Have the effects been positive or negative? Do you enjoy gossip, or do you try to discourage it?


See how you can discourage gossip at workplaces
Step 1.
Stop at-work chit chat by halting a conversation that is headed in a gossipy direction. Try lines such as, "Let's hold off talking about Sheila until she's here," or "This not something I feel comfortable talking about with Peter in the next room." Your co-workers will be caught off-guard, but chances are they will change the subject.



Step 2
Announce the possibility that email correspondence may be recorded. Large companies perform random checks of at-work email, and this tactic can be very effective at eliminating office gossip. True, coworkers can still talk in the break room, but that's a much riskier move than spreading gossip via people's inboxes.


Step 3
Remind yourself and others that participating in gossip ruins credibility. Although coworkers may come to you for gossip, they certainly won't come to you with a serious secret or when they are in need of trusted business advice. Unfortunately, gossip goes on your invisible resume and may slow the speed at which you achieve career goals.


Step 4
Attack gossip indirectly by working toward a tighter knit community. Humans are naturally petty and self-centered, but gossip is much more likely to occur when coworkers are not getting along. If you have the luxury of working in a small or medium-sized office, create an environment that brings out the best in everyone. You'll see the gossip greatly reduced. In larger, more corporate offices, this is a difficult feat. Bring in professionals for community-building events or demand that everyone attend an office retreat.


 Step 5
Shut your own mouth. A surefire way to put a stop to office gossip is to take yourself out of the game entirely. When your mouth is shut, you can't dish it out and you can't take it. Coworkers will respect your ability to rise above the small talk and hopefully follow suit.

Tips & Warnings
Some managers take the risky, yet effective approach of confronting a gossiping employee. After discussing the problems with at-work chatter and offering disciplinary action, the manager uses the office gossip as feedback and constructive criticism for himself and the rest of the staff. This is very difficult to do in a tactful way that doesn't hurt anyone's feelings, but if it can be done well, it is a great tactic.If gossip gets to the point where it is creating a destructive office environment, consider threatening employees with a suspension or dismissal on the grounds of breach of confidentiality. It is hard to prove that gossip is destructive and idle threats aren't always the best idea, but in extreme situations, this may prove effective.Unless you happen to work in a mature, loving environment with a staff of self-aware and generous people

How to deal with conflicts at workplaces

Friction in the workplace can be stressful and counterproductive for everyone involved. Learn to approach the person with whom you are struggling and resolve the situation. Follow these few steps to alleviate awkwardness in the workplace.

1. Decide whether you want to confront the person who is bothering you. It is usually better to air grievances in the open than to let them fester.
2. Step 2
Speak to the other person calmly, politely and rationally. Focus on the situation and facts, avoiding gossip and personal attacks.
3. Step 3
Be careful not to express hostility in your posture, facial expression or tone. Be assertive without being aggressive.
4. Step 4
Listen to the other person carefully: What is she trying to say? Be sure you understand her position.
5. Step 5
Express interest in what the other person is saying. You can acknowledge her ideas without necessarily agreeing or submitting. Saying, "I understand that you feel this way. Here's how I feel..." acknowledges both positions.
6. Step 6
Communicate clearly what you want, offering positive suggestions and recommendations. Be willing to be flexible.
7. Step 7
Speak to your supervisor if a problem with a difficult co-worker seriously threatens your work, but avoid whining.


Tips & Warnings


• Deal with problematic personalities by trying to understand what motivates their behavior, then tailoring your actions to work with that personality type. Once you grasp why people behave as they do, you will be able to interact with them more effectively.


• For example, be firm with bullies at work ' don't allow them to pressure you into doing anything unwanted. Be forceful in your opinions, but act with a bit of caution.


• Around complainers, avoid acting too sympathetic if you feel their complaints are ill-founded; instead, ask what sorts of actions they plan to take to change the situation. Squarely ask th
