Life Notes

Every new Experience brings out our naivety but a good learning opportunity. Therefore it sounds a good idea to try out new things and be adventurous but all this should be calculated and repercussions should firmly be held in our minds, otherwise… I remember how grateful I was, to one Susan, for helping me carry my luggage from admission offices to my hostel room in my first day in campus. She told me how good campus life can be, but still how nasty it is for reckless fellows…I heeded and reaped. I made a commitment to myself that I will orient first years when they come, share with them what they expect in their new life being the base of what they want to do their entire life. I did that, hope someone benefited. But I was perplexed to share with a friend about her first semester in campus and she confessed how they were ‘life changing’: v   Fresher’s Night Guys got drank and everything she saw, sorry to mention, can only be seen in a hardcore movie v   My B...

Hallo, I've seen the sense in learning from other peoples mistakes and experiences because I may not live long enough to learn from my own mistakes. Brownie Ware's experience while working with a palliative care   noted the regrets   of dying people during their last days. They were ;   1. I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. This was the most common regret of all. When people realise that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people had not honoured even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realise, until they no longer have it. 2. I wish I didn't work  so hard. Thi...

They are certain behaviors I had always wished to stop but I always found myself repeating them like...Therefore I had to find a solution and this is what I did: #I stopped going to places where things I wanted to stop were being done For example if you want to stop taking alcohol what business do you have with a club? #I also checked on my dominant passion by asking myself questions like-What do I love,hate,have aversion to,makes me joyful,sad,despair,be angered or makes me courageous and why and Is it worth? #External senses-I also learnt that one has also to check on what he/she is seeing coz most of mess enters our minds through the eyes and the rest of the 'common senses'. #Internal senses- Our imagination and memory also play a great role on our behaviors.No one would wish garbage to be served on his/her table but majority do harbour garbage-like thoughts in their minds and they will unconsciously act like so. #The Intellect also has to be disciplined by ...

I woke up earlier than usual to catch the Citi Hopa bus taking us to Mathare North 4B for clean-up &door-to-door outreach organized by UON- C.U.As usual in the vehicle I don't chat alot,I just like enjoying the ride while contemplating about different issues about life.Out of the gate past Kabete,Spring valley,Westlands&Parklands I sensed the importance of being ultra rich by the type of housing stuctures put in place.Past Ngara road I felt life in that area people could be fairly rich.In parkroad &Pangani areas life is Ok... And the bus stopped at the gate-Outreach Ministry at Mathare.I remembered  my late Grandpa had spent part of his life at some place around and I had paid him a visit In 2001 having refused to come out of that place(alikuwa hardcore)...We were given directions and started our work clearing the trenches giving motivation to students and Wenyeji.My surprise was the poor sanitation in that place-Food being cooked along the dirty paths,No or very fe...

Have you ever contemplated on this popular philosophy:Live life to the fullest since you don't know what the next minute holds for you. In other words you might die,it's true but a dangerous approach towards life. Take an example of a campus setting, per year reported death cases are negligible(less than 2 per year out of the thousands students).Therefore if someone tells you to be extravagant with your resources a little you could be having or advise you to have string of men and fail to consider time value of money by saving or investing the/ladies or taking one for the road...he is misleading because the probability of you being there is very high. I believe the key to success for young adults is sacrificing now for future purposes in case you will be there you will have less suffering with no guilt of your past.
