LOSING EVERYTHING OVER SOMETHING     There was once a young man who dreamt of having this one car, the man had this dream ever since he was a child. He knew if he had the car people would respect him much. The man grew up got a good wife and children. He wanted to buy the car before building a house but his wife would hear non of it. He built a good house.      Now the man had a good job, a nice family and a house but still his heart was not at peace. He had to get the car by all means. He took a loan from a bank using his house without his wife knowing and bought the car. He was on top of the world.     After two years, the bank owners came to auction his house since he failed to repay the loan, when the company he worked for heard of this, he was fired, his family went away since they had no place to stay. He sold the car but it could not give him back all he had, he had lost everything including the one thing he thought he...

BEING AGGRESSIVE AND BEING A SYCOPHANT     It is often easy to know if a person wants something from  you, they suddenly become overly good to you and more friendlier than they usually are.      Other people will just come to you without any flattery and ask you to help out. and if you are not willing to, they will not pamper you, they will simply go their way. `     The former group of individuals are said to be aggressive, but are they really so? Being aggressive means doing everything possible to succeed, I totally agree with that but what if you succeed only to end up as somebody's doormat?  Stooping low lowers the respect other people have for you. You agree to every shit they say and you do every thing they say.  In my opinion the latter group of people are the aggressive ones, If you don't want to help them out, they will go out of their way to ensure they succeed, with or without you, they may not make it on the...

THE KNOW- IT- ALL     People with the know-it-all personalities can be really annoying at times. They know everything, even the things that they know they don't know, they still know they know. It is really difficult to reason things out with such people.     They are never willingly to listen to other people's opinions, theirs is always right and the best. Most of them dominate every conversations, when others try to air their views, they strongly oppose them even before one completes what he/she had to say.    The president called an impromptu meeting with his advisers, they all came. The meeting was a question and answer session, the president wanted to see if his advisers were up to the given task. The first adviser was asked what his name was, where he was born and how old he was. He gave his answers in the respective order, he said he was 55 years old. The person next to him interrupted him to say that he was 58 and not 55 as he had stated. ...

JEALOUSY- CAN THE FEELING BE MUTUAL?     Jane and June are good friends. Jane, has a well paying job at a private company, a care-free life and what happens to be a perfect relationship. June on the other hand, is a well known model, all the world's beauty has been bestowed upon her. Cameras are always by her side.      Jane is a little bit jealous of June, she would love to have a taste of the limelight, the fashionable cloths, the glamour and all that. June is also jealous of Jane, she too would love to have a taste of a well paying job, a perfect relationship and a care-free life away from the cameras.      The two always see the others lives as the best to live but if God granted their wishes and the other becomes the other, am sure they would both come to hate it with time. Jealousy makes us live other people's lives instead of us focusing on our own lives and as a result we lose ourselves.       When you know the ...

"WACHA UMAMA?"     Women are responsible for all the beauty we see. If it were not for them, we all would be MIA. Of course men are also players in this sector but women are the major players of the industry.      Mostly when a man wrongs, he is mainly told wacha umama by fellow men .      Our first ladies are  good examples of women, take for instance Mrs. Kenyatta, she is a force to reckon with no doubt. She works with all communities to bring about development and positive growth. Closely in tow is the second lady, Mr. Ruto, she also works with all the communities to ensure women are financially empowered. Many other first ladies in the country are following these footsteps.  Watch this space Women are often taken to be cowards but they are the bravest and the strongest people alive. Unlike men women don't fight using fists, they use their brains hence the phrase wacha umama. Looking at the country's leadership now, m...

JUDGING A BOOK BY ITS'COVER     I had a very long vacation, it was a break in blogging but not in writing and being creative.      We are always quick in judging people, we are humans. I had this classmate years ago, I had just joined the school, at first sight I knew I would never be associated with her in anything, she was probably the richest kid in the whole school, she looked proud and  arrogant, she never talked to anyone unless forced by circumstances, she just looked odd in each and every aspect.      I always avoided her, I never thought I would have her as a friend. She actually extended a hand of friendship to me, at first I thought she had bad intentions but she turned out to be my best friend to date, she was not proud and arrogant as I had concluded. She had a beautifully coloured heart. It is funny how the people we first hate for no apparent reason turn out to be the best in our lives. Has it ever happened to you?
