Life Notes

                                                         Photo credit: Pinterest . I listened to one Tom Makale,the CEO ,Unique Loos give his speech at (Business Entrepreneurship & Innovation ( BEI) conference at UoN,School of Business,I liked.He was drilling us to start thinking critically about life rather than the shadow perspective of life. ....One of the issues he brought out clearly are the people we need to connect ourselves with.We should connect with people who; 1.Are goal-oriented This entails looking at how realistic and futuristic one is. Also looking at what they are doing now and assessing the course of their lives.They live a purpose driven life.Planning their lives carefully. 2.Bring the...

Harness Creativity              -Look for unexpected Realities-Break the routine              -Let the Mind wander by doing something undemanding. "Whatever that is chasing you determines the speed you will learnt at"-Unknown Prayers have the power to: Humble us,Work miracles,Get rid of carnal mind,Make our lives clear. ''Umuntu ngumutu ngabantu"-I am because you are,because we are. Small things done consistently have immense power. Everything that you are enjoying someone thought of it and made money from it.What are you thinking? Think what you can do that is different from everyone else.  Your Idea may not make sense to anyone else apart from you.

They met in one of the most improbable places that can nurture emotional jitters. But slowly they become close and close. I mean very close for one to call them friends was an understatement. They could feel their emotional indirect investment growing and the need for diversifying the portfolio of relating too was becoming eminent. The dude paused,contemplated about the plans he had in   mind, the beauty and the dangers that lay ahead.His logic went like this;Bearing in mind I’m not looking for a lady to just have fun with but a life time partner,wants to settle in probably in the next five years, will I not be lying to commit?…He also had a spirit of adventure and loves to travel and as I know him, he can settle anywhere on this planet,settle with anyone as long as they share the same values system(but biased to Asians and Europeans). The lady was irresistibly beautiful(physically,spiritually),socially okay,financially she has massive potential,mentally at her ...

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up.It knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be eaten.Every morning in Africa a lion wakes up too.It knows that it must outrun the slowest gazelle or it will starve to death.It doesn't matter whether you are a lion or a gazelle,when the sun comes up you'd better be running-Wale Akinyemi. I've always admired people who found their callings and passions early in life.I've searched and keep on searching that thing that will give me immense satisfaction whether it is earning for me money or not.I know money motivates but I believe there are other ways one can make money while pursuing what one loves most.It beats me for people to live unhappily in a job you don't love in the name of I have bills to pay. I've decided to suffer for my passions.All I want is peace of mind,contentment and joy. I shared with a friend of how if one finds it fun and satisfying to be with kids why should they not give it a trial ...

I reaped big after KCSE results were out. With a chance to join campus I was more than jubilated.With so many uncertainty,fear of unknown and ignorance,the selection of course was a toll order for me.Being torn between Health,Business,Psychology and Engineering courses but somehow I found myself in Business. I was glad because the concept of entrepreneurship has been a niche for my heart and the mention of  a hospital or sight of blood makes me sick,matters could have been worse if I was to work there though I could have adapted any way.But,I feel the forgone alternatives will in some way manifest themselves either in business,friends or life partner. The best thing that happened to me is joining Campus.It's here that I've come to appreciate there are smarter guys than you,gathered confidence to face life,realized that majority are not always right, that one has to stand for what they believe is right,grown spiritually,.. I mean I heard,touched,saw,smelt,tasted,im...

Earphones are on.I'm scrolling through the playlist to get a song that suits the mood.I settle on Instrumentals and I start with one of my favourite,Vangelis-Chariots of Fire followed by Guantenamera, Friends of Wind by Demis Roussos, Nkosi Sikelel' iAfrika(South African National Anthem).I n the list too are songs by Casting Crowns,Reuben Kigame and Dustin Kenstrue.I press play and let the beats and lyrics start to sink. It's 11 a.m,it's an awkward time to be seated on a Dunga,this are campus benches outside hostels,also known as Jobless Corner as one is seen to be 'lazy'.For me dunga should be referred as an 'eagles eye zone',when alone one can get into deep thoughts together with another,almost similar site,the centre of rugby's pitch.They gave a space  to relax and thinking through life in 3D.I'm just from Project Management class and lecturer's remarks are still live,'...the world is hostile,corruption is massive and played...

When I joined Form 1,it was a completely new world for me.Pressure was mounting from all over,hormones were driving me crazy..Got to learn some of this 'skills' as the peers were putting it. The teachers and parents seemed to be in the old generation and true times have changed but wrong  remained to be wrong no matter how we try to pomp or pimp it. It wasn't a safe ride especially in my final year where things were almost getting out of hand. With lots of confusion there are decisions I made that changed my course of life: -Listening more to teachers and less of my peers. I didn't have to re invent the wheel to know that something is wrong,especially with moral matters I just tore the line. -Having a close  friend whom you can share with. Nguma is the one,I recall us walking home one day and we were vowing by the tarmac road,that we have to go the university regardless of what may come our way.We assisted each other mostly in academics,it's no wonder e...
