COMMENT

Excellence in everything you do – that’s Jane Osborne’s philosophy in life, and it’s one that we should all follow.
It’s about raising standards and doing the best possible job. It’s about being professional, and it’s about hard work, determination and drive, all of which the fabulous singer has by the bucket-load.
Excellence is also what brings you the best music, the best fashion, and the best novels, all of which we try to feature in Beauty Zambia.
But excellence is not just for performers, celebrities and designers. It’s for everyone out there, whether you are a shop assistant, secretary, housewife, executive or student.
Take a look at this month’s Word on the Street survey and find out how ten ordinary women are striving to make the best of their relationships.
We all have hopes and fears. No one knows what the future will bring, but we can all dream of making our lives successful, in whatever way we want that to be.
The knack is to recognise the good things and be grateful. Maybe you’re successful already and you don’t even know it!
But keep striving nevertheless. There’s always something new to aspire to, whatever rung of life’s ladder you are on.
All the Best,

Gillian Baker

Beauty magazine. Keep it up. You are our own magazine. A true Zambian magazine. We are tired of foreign magazines. Let’s hear it for our own celebrities. Good luck.

Hi,

I read one of your Beauty magazines. It’s interesting, and please keep on publishing a lot. Thank you.

Dear Editor,

Allow me to express my feelings on how HIV/AIDS awareness can be made known to youths nicely. This is simply by organising a Mr and Miss Lusaka or Zambia, since most of the time there is only a ‘Miss’ something, please do what you can to come up with a function of such magnitude. We will be right by your back to support and take part.
I remember when there was a Mr and Miss Evelyn Hone College. Youths of all sorts came to watch therefore, with no shadow of a doubt, I think it will be da booooooooooom.
I will be very gratefully to hear from you.
Malcolm

Current MR Evelyn Hone College.

Slowing Down to the Speed of Life

By Mutinta Musokotwane

Have you ever wondered why you almost always feel stressed, at work, at home?
Have you ever wondered why half the time you feel as though life has passed you by, because you have either been reminiscing about the past or are constantly planning for your future?
We find that life gets in the way of enjoying our work, our children, our friendships and our social life. We even allow those around us to determine whether or not we are going to enjoy our lives. We end up being bad parents, spouses and workmates.
Well I have some exciting news for you. We can enjoy our lives by being in the moment of whatever it is we are experiencing at that moment.
If you are on vacation, it does you no good to be planning the next day and imagining that you will have so much more fun when you go to the beach or to that cultural village.
Enjoy the moment that you are in.
Enjoy your children. Don’t tell yourself that you will enjoy them when they leave infanthood, or when they leave the terrible twos and become teenagers. Whatever stage they’re at is what you should enjoy.
What then is your problem?
Your problem is that you are always using your analytical mind.
We have two platforms of thinking. These are the processing mode or the free-flowing mode.
The analytical mind unfortunately is what we are taught from the time we are young. We have been taught that we should value this mode the most. This is the platform that we use when learning new skills, to solve mathematical problems and so on.
The free-flowing is what we are supposed to use to slow down our life. No one can teach you to be in the free-flowing mode. To access it, one needs to let go of one’s analytical mind, to clear the mind like letting silt settle in the water.
Free flowing involves issues such as:

• Admitting that you don’t know something and letting it sit at the back of your mind while you do other things. The answer will come to you.
• And recognising that your thoughts will either lead you to free-flowing or processing mode. If you pause and reflect, the free-flowing mode will take over.
