Qawl Malti Kuljum “Bil-qatra l-qatra timtela l-ġarra.” Mary Lourdes Bonnici Introduzzjoni Xi drabi naħsbu li biex niksbu riżultat kbir irridu nagħmlu pass kbir mill-ewwel. Imma ħafna drabi l-ħajja taħdem mod ieħor. Il-qawl Malti “Bil-qatra l-qatra timtela l-ġarra ” ifakkarna li l-progress jinbena bil-mod, b’paċenzja u b’konsistenza. Qatra waħda tidher żgħira ħafna. Imma meta qatra tingħaqad ma’ oħra, u oħra magħha, eventwalment il-ġarra timtela. U hekk ukoll jiġri fil-ħajja. Xi jfisser dan il-qawl? Litteralment, qatra waħda ilma ma timliex ġarra. Imma jekk il-qtar jibqa’ nieżel wieħed wara l-ieħor, il-ġarra eventwalment timtela. It-tifsira figurattiva hija: progress żgħir iżda kostanti jista’ jwassal għal riżultat kbir. Dan jista’ japplika għal ħafna affarijiet: it-tagħlim it-tfaddil il-bini ta’ drawwiet tajbin l-iżvilupp personali proġett fit-tul il-kisba ta’ għan personali Il-qawl ma jgħidilniex li kollox jiġri malajr. Għall-kuntrarju, jgħallimna li l-konsistenza għandha valur enor...

  Qawl Malti Kuljum “Min jorqod ma jaqbadx ħut” Mary Lourdes Bonnici Introduzzjoni Hemm qwiel li, minkejja li huma qosra ħafna, jiġbru fihom tagħlima sħiħa dwar il-ħajja. Wieħed minn dawn huwa: “Min jorqod ma jaqbadx ħut.” Dan il-qawl ifakkarna li jekk irridu niksbu xi ħaġa, irridu nagħmlu l-isforz meħtieġ. L-opportunitajiet mhux dejjem jiġu għandna waħedhom — ħafna drabi rridu nfittxuhom, nippreparaw għalihom u nieħdu azzjoni. Xi jfisser il-qawl? Litteralment, il-qawl jgħid li min jibqa’ jorqod ma jistax joħroġ jistad u għalhekk ma jaqbadx ħut. Imma t-tifsira vera tiegħu hija usa’ ħafna. Il-“ħut” hawnhekk jista’ jirrappreżenta: opportunità suċċess għan personali tagħlim progress riżultat li nixtiequ niksbu U l-“irqad” jista’ jirrappreżenta nuqqas ta’ azzjoni, procrastination jew stennija bla ma nagħmlu l-pass meħtieġ. Il-messaġġ huwa għalhekk sempliċi: jekk ma naġixxux, ikun diffiċli ħafna li niksbu r-riżultat li qed nistennew. Il-kuntest kulturali Il-qawl jirrifletti wkoll realtà...

  Alzheimer’s Care: Building an Effective Organisational Structure Around the Person By Mary Lourdes Bonnici August Alzheimer’s Awareness Series 💜🧠 Throughout August, I am dedicating a special educational series to Alzheimer’s awareness, dementia care, organisational structure, leadership, communication and person-centred support . Alzheimer’s disease does not affect only memory. Its effects can extend into communication, independence, relationships, decision-making and everyday life. Families and carers can also experience significant emotional, practical and social responsibilities. For this reason, effective Alzheimer’s care cannot depend on one individual, one profession or one service. It requires a coordinated organisational structure that places the person living with dementia at its centre. According to the World Health Organization (WHO, 2026), approximately 57 million people worldwide were living with dementia in 2021 , with nearly 10 million new cases occurring each y...

Qawl Malti Kuljum – Inżommu Ħaj l-Għerf ta’ Missirijietna 🇲🇹 Mary Lourdes Bonnici Introduzzjoni Il-qwiel Maltin huma ferm aktar minn ftit kliem antik li jgħaddi minn ġenerazzjoni għal oħra. Huma parti mill-identità tagħna, mill-lingwa tagħna u mill-mod kif il-Maltin tul is-snin fehmu l-ħajja, ix-xogħol, il-familja, ir-relazzjonijiet u d-diffikultajiet ta’ kuljum. Qawl wieħed jista’ jkun qasir ħafna, iżda warajh ħafna drabi hemm esperjenza, osservazzjoni u tagħlima. Għalhekk qed nibda din is-serje ġdida: Qawl Malti Kuljum. L-għan huwa sempliċi: kuljum naqsmu qawl Malti, nifhmu xi jfisser, u naraw kif il-messaġġ tiegħu jista’ jibqa’ relevanti anke fil-ħajja moderna. X’inhu qawl? Qawl huwa espressjoni qasira li ġeneralment twassal tagħlima, parir jew osservazzjoni dwar il-ħajja. Ħafna qwiel ma għandhomx jittieħdu litteralment. It-tifsira vera tagħhom tinsab fil-messaġġ li jridu jwasslu. Pereżempju: “Bil-qatra l-qatra timtela l-ġarra.” Dan ma jirreferix biss għal ġarra li timtela bl-ilma...
