Goodbyes to the Negative Nancies

It's the 31st of January 2022 and where has my motivation gone? I thought to myself

It's the last day of the month, the number of covid patients are increasing, the country's economy is going down and I lately felt like I have no tomorrow. Thinking in this way hasn't changed my gains, I realised

The new seduction is "Positivity"

Being positive all the time doesn't make sense, I know but atleast you could get your things done more peacefully at heart and mind. Positivity brings a sense of peace within one's self

It's a new month from tomorrow. You always have time to begin. Think of what you must have focused on but you couldn't. Write them down in a diary. Number them according to your priority. Schedule times. Work them out! Never procrastinate!

Think of the skills that you want to improve on. Write them down. Work them out!

Think of the self care that you missed. Write them down. Work them out!

Think of what you missed on your pet. Write them down. Work them out!

Think of all the opportunities to work on in this fresh month; February

Cuz Tomorrow is Full of POSSIBLE

So,

"Goodbyes" to the Negative Nancy thoughts

What took me to the UN

I was invited to the United Nations' International Labour Organization for a consultative meeting with the stakeholders of the entrepreneurial system to conduct a start-up ecosystem mapping for the first time in Sri Lanka on the 17th of January 2025 This is my first time to even go to the United Nations and I'm grateful that I was invited. In my invitation it mentioned that I was invited for the potential that I showcased as a young entrepreneur There were only four young entrepreneurs who were invited while the rest was about 50 other massive stakeholders and entrepreneurs themselves But, what exactly made me to the UN? I was pondering about the "potential" and yes, I think I figured out 1. social impact : aligns with 10 SDGs of UN From healing pets to creating industries, employment and promoting innovation, my work expands in the most sustainable ways 2. health impact : promotes longevity and sustainability of pets directly and human beings indirectl...

Leptospirosis as a zoonosis

Leptospirosis awareness A timely topic as there's a Leptospirosis outbreak in the Northern province of Sri Lanka. I see a gap in the level of awareness on prevention and transmission regarding this topic although there are plenty of sources to explain the symptoms of the disease. It's vital to raise awareness on prevention of spread of the disease among the non-infected at a same level as of the attempts to cure the already infected individuas! Leptospirosis is a zoonotic disease - a disease that is transmitted to humans via animals Leptospirosis, also known as "මී උණ" in Sinhala is a highly contagious disease caused by the bacteria Leptospira The carrier of the disease is rodents such as rats, mice and even squirrels The carriers can transmit Leptospira bacteria to most of the mammals such as humans, dogs, cats, cattle, horses, wild animals and marine mammals How does the bacteria enter into an individual? There are several ways by which the bacter...
