Spoilt For Choice.

Image
It was in a bash cum sleep over... after each person spoke anyone was free to make a compliment or ask a question regarding the way you know that person.Here I was making very genuine compliments.Apparently,it turned out that I was commenting after almost everyone...It had also happened that I was the first to introduce myself.In your introduction,you were to say something about your 'social development',I mean,'The Kabete question'...I mean Single or otherwise.And so I'm yet to crack the code. 'Rutinu is spoilt for choice,Please settle.Everyone is pretty until he ends up complimenting all the ladies!',one dude commented,the entire room burst out with laughter. In another occasion someone warned me not to look at ladies with,'such kind of eyes',What!,I'm contemplating of acquiring glasses."Not everyone will understand that's the way you are,like I do,you will hear stories",The person reiterated. This got me thinking.It mad...

The Simple Things In Life.

I laid in a sofa at my grandma's living room,looking up  the white painted ceiling and walls.I've always enjoyed the serenity at this place because it's quiet and helped me get into deep thoughts. My eyes got attracted at  an album-ed photo on the wall bearing some writings: The first one had fresh romantic flowers in a vase with a quote,"Only  wise and good men can be friends  others are but companion". The second was an elephant with a calf walking through the savannah, the calf size could allow it to walk  beneath the mom and a quote at the edge read,"We are too little to be able to rise above the difficulties well,then let us pass beneath them quite simply". The third had two peacocks in a flat green beautiful land next to some flowery plants near a lake each headed in different directions and a quote in it read,"The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we are but in what direction we are moving". The last photo wa...

Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disen...

Who Is To Blame ?

Image
I read a book,"Secrets of  A Millionaire Mind" by T. Harv Ever where he gives insights on what makes  the differences between  millionaires and the poor and middle class. He  says that everything we physically see is as a result of Mental,Emotional  and Spiritual Input.Therefore,if something is wrong in the physical perception of it,It's as a result of everything being wrong in the other 3 quadrants. I totally concur with this Man,If for example one has wrongly typed a document and goes to print it.The printer will exactly give you a document with errors,so it will be ridiculous to start hitting the machine,opening bolts or calling experts to come and check what's up with the printer.It has no hitch,work on the document!. Likewise,if something is going haywire with our Finances,Career,Academic,Relationship,Society,Country... It's the high time we realized the blame solely lies on the software that is running our Mental,Emotional & Spiritual Facul...

It's You I Want.

I'm no longer in abyss,but, standing amidst peace of mind and a dream come true. #That we can sit together and listen to the same tune of music the likes of  Reuben Kigame,Emachichi,Don Moen, Michael W. Smith,Casting Crowns,Francesca Ballisteli, Brandon Hearthon,Tenth Avenue North,Jim Reeves.... #That I can bounce at your place and find you watching:Family Tv,God Tv,Sauti ya Rehema,Discovery Channel,National Geographic,Supersport or listening to:Hope Fm,Truth Fm,Radio 316... #Always keeping each other on check on our spiritual warfare. #Thinking together on how we can create God-friendly environment for all with the resources we'll be endowed with. #That you know what is to be decent in every aspect of it;dressing,talking... #That even in absentia I'll be at peace,just like you'll be,,knowing,we still trust each other. #That for hangouts it will not be clubbing n like. #That it's not the external but the internal;character,personality...We  have ...

Modern Fresher

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...

If Today Was My Last Day...

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...
