INFERIORITY COMPLEX

    Everybody is good at something and no one is good at everything. One cannot possibly improve himself beyond his means. people should put their energies where their strength lies instead of trying to do what others are good at, by not doing so, so many people risk losing themselves.
    A young lady recently joined a new class and the lecturer asked her to introduce herself.
    "My name is Mercy Sasha, I came from Utawala city(a posh city in that country), my dad is the mayor of Utawala and my mum is an ambassador," the young lady said an sat down. The rest of the class was in awe. After the class, the lecturer called the girl aside and asked her the name of her father. 
    "He is called Steven" the lady answered.
    "Steven Msitu?" the lecturer asked and the girl nodded in approval.
    "Steven Msitu is my brother and he doesn't have a daughter." the lecturer said.
     The young lady wanted to associate herself with people of a class that she never belonged to. Why? She thought that she was not that good and neither were her people. The truth was that she come from a small village and her dad was a business man and her mum was a stay-at-home mum.

    Another guy had  to a get-together party with his long lost friends, at the party everyone was asked to introduce himself and give a brief account of how they have been ever since they parted ways. All his friends were saying the way some of them were married to the best wives and some said they were in the most perfect relationships, even though most of them were lying just so that they would not feel out of place. Apparently the young man in question was the last to introduce himself.
     "I am single and struggling, as you can see here(points at a scar in his hand), I was exercising my cooking skills when I mistook cooking oil to be water and things never worked out in my  favour. this morning also I discovered a new ingredient for porridge, I took the rice can thinking it was the can of sugar and I added the rice in my porridge, and drank it, I kept blaming the "sugar" manufacturers for  the poor refining of the "sugar," I only noticed it when I was done, but it was sweet." the guy said with pride as the others laughed. 
    The surest way of improving ourselves is by first appreciating who we are.

                                               UNDER CONTROL There was once a little girl named Amani. She was born to a clan that was well known for oversleeping. To them oversleeping was a tradition. Most of the clan members knew it was their custom and so they slept even when they had no sleep, they just had to force it. Amani's mother was among the few exceptions. She tried to instill the value of waking up early to all her four children but they were all hard on her advice. After all, almost everybody was sleeping so why would they have bothered. Amani saw some sense in her mother's advice and she tried it. At first it was not that easy. One day she said a different prayer and went to sleep. In the prayer she asked God to wake her up early. The next day early in the morning she was up early but still she had a problem; she had nothing to do.  That day at night, she said another different prayer. In the prayer she asked God to wake her up early and give her something ni

TECH SHAME     It's good to be conscious of where you are going and by what means you are getting to your destination. I recently experienced an embarrassing situation due to ignorance.      I was tired, I crossed the road of this busy street, almost got ran over. I didn't want to go further so the first matatu that came along, I was in. I sat on the nearest available seat. Next to me was a man probably in his late seventies, he was the talkative type. He asked me if I was going the same destination with him, I nodded in agreement, he kept giving me this curious look, as he was about to make further inquiries, the screen was on and loud sounds emanated from the speakers, at first, this came as a relief but it wasn't. The song being played was full of obscene language and equally obscene visual images, the first time I looked at the screen I literally went blind for some minutes. I vowed to be blind throughout the journey but my old friend would not let me.

                                                             LOVE  Love.this word arouses lots of feelings in people. Back in the days love was a tradition especially in Africa. People used to love one another regardless of the circumstances. There was no need for one to love somebody from the mere fact that they knew them. In those days, the phrase "I love you" was used genuinely. I once had a friend, at the time of this incident am narrating, she was about seventeen years of age. It was valentine season, flowers and those three words were trending. My friend's crush saw this as a nice opportunity, to convince my friend.  He came with his confidence all refreshed and beautiful red and white flowers in hand. We were in the school's play ground when he came and presented the flowers and the three words to her.  Just then, my friend ran towards the direction of the gate, screaming inaudible words.  She took the whole school's attention with
