By Dr Paul Bundi Human beings are endowed with remarkable resilience, which can only be broken when they choose to give up. Says Viktor Frankl in his seminal book, Man's Search for Meaning; ''it is a peculiarity of man that he can only live by looking to the future-sub specie aeternitatis. And this is his salvation in thd most difficult moments of his existence, although he sometimes has to force his mind to the task.'' Man's life is primarily driven by the desire for future, the unshakable belief that the future holds promise. We invariably cease to live when we think we have hit a dead end, or that there's nothing more to be had by living. Theoretically, there is no limit to man's achievement, and that is what drives men to wake up and strive day after day. The opposite is spiritual, psychological death, which manifests way ahead of physical death. Lesson? Losing today doesn't mean losing always. You can lose 10 times and win the 11th time. Or, you
SHOCK AS KENYA GOVT SPONSERS 3 INDIVIDUALS ALL FROM ONE TRIBE TO REPRENT KENYA IN EU YOUTH SUMMIT HELD AT PARIS,FRANCE
Tribalism, favouritism and negative ethnicity has been the central pillars of the Jubilee regime throughout her 1 year rule in office. Despite the widespread public outcry over the same, the government of the day seems not to relent soon from this shameless vice. According to Jubilee, Tribalism is when any other kenyan condemns dominance of a single tribe and not when public appointments are skewed in favour of one region excluding others . The cabinet secretary for devolution whose youth affairs fall under her docket seemed unmoved by the recent attempts of impeachment as she continues to favour people from her tribe and totally excluding others. Presidency is a symbol of national unity and should not be used to reward those who are perceived to be politically right.The president must accommodate all kenyans cohesively as this will greatly promote patriotism among all citizens. In the EU youth summit which just ended 14 hours ago, kenya was shamelessly represented by: Patrick Karanja Wanjohi Michael Kimani Esther Waithera All the 2 men and 1 lady are from one region if their surnames is anything to go by ,this should only happen in the case were sponsored by their county govts.But in this case the invitation came to the republic of Kenya hence the representation ought to have shown the face of kenya. The event gathered more than 100 young representatives of African and Europe youth organizations which addressed key issues including those discussed at the Summit of Heads of State and Government with the aim to enhance meaningful youth participation in the Africa-EU Partnership Key-youth leadership, entrepreneurship/employment and the role of the youth with regard to peace and security as well as an inter-generational debate with politicians and high-level officials on responses to youth problems within the Africa-EU Partnership. Its therefore shocking that in a such an event Kenya can sponsor people from 1 community as if issues discussed are regional not national. God forbid! This is one the issues which need to be addressed soonest possible otherwise kenya's future will be at stake as tribalism continue to rear its ugly head.
