  EGO is the ENEMY book I have read it. kindly I would like to share with you a bit of reflection about the Eggo is the enemy book that I have read. wish you enjoy reading it. let's start..... “ WHEREVER YOU ARE, EGO IS TOO,”  says Ryan Holiday Ego is the Enemy, published in 2016, is Rayan Holidays' fourth book and international bestseller. This is the second book in which he draws the principles of stoicism while his previous book, The obstacles is the way, focused on overcoming life’s external obstacles. Holiday’s background is media strategies. The book is structured to be short, and easy to split into three parts: Aspiration, Success, and Failure.

  I am so fortunate to have these wonderful friends, we taught each other blog-writing training at the SPA centre for learning and development. We were classmates and now we are close friends, because of our reading habits. One of the benefits of good friends is that they always bring your life a positive side and add good values to your life, which is a big bonus for me. We agreed with each other to develop ourselves for reading challenges. Creating a reading habit is good and it's one of the most important habits to have.

Blog writing becomes an essential skill nowadays because technology develops quickly, and everything becomes digitalized. Firstly, I had the desire to learn blog writing skills, and it is one of my dreams that I become a blogger one day. Finally, I am getting closer to becoming a regular blogger after the successful completion of an eye-opening blog writing training course at the Somali Public Agenda.

However, the biggest motivation was that I wanted to share with people my stories and experiences and hustle in my life such as my university journey, which was a wonderful story as I became one of the firs...

  Do you know the importance of volunteerism? Are you aware that there are a lot of Somali youth who are volunteering their time, energy and resources to impact their communities, especially those who are facing dire humanitarian situations? In this Blog post , I would like to share with you the stories of Somali youth who study Social Work in the country and are championing community volunteerism initiatives? First, let’s briefly understand who is youth? In Somalia, there are no clear definitions on who is youth. However, the Somali National Youth Policy stipulates youth as someone between the ages of 15 to 40. This contradicts The United Nations’ definitions for youth. The United Nations defines youth as a person between "the ages of 15 to 24. In addition to that, the African Youth Charter defines youth as a person between the ages of 15-25. African Youth Chartre.pdf . Somalia has a youthful demographic like "most" other countries in sub-Saharan Africa. 75 percen...
