Before you commit yourself to anything.Ask yourself these questions

Think about something you really want. A desired thing, experience, person or place. A goal. Hold that longing in your mind and run through these questions:

  1. 1.Does going after this dream make you feel like you’re making progress? Like you’re growing? Like you’re moving forward?
  2. 2.Does this desire make you feel more like yourself?
  3. 3.Do you think you’ll feel freer when you achieve this?
  4. 4.Does going after this goal (not reaching it, but the actual pursuit of it) light you up, even if it means hard work?
  5. 5.Does this opportunity clearly create more opportunities?
  6. 6.Does saying no to things so you can pursue this goal ultimately make you feel lighter?
  7. 7.Do you feel in total integrity?

8.And the last question, not that this entirely matters, but would your kid or your grandmother or your best friend be proud of you for what you’re going after and how you’re going after it? If you’re gripped to a certain goal — “do or die goals,” it’s easier to fool yourself about the merits of that goal.

"You will know." Musyoki answered curtly. It didn't take me long to know who Beast was. The following day, as the 10 o'clock tea was being served, I heard a commotion, with boys leaving their tea and running helter-skelter towards the classrooms.  I was a fresh mono, so I didn't know what was happening. I ran along the pavement, and came upon a mighty man, who appeared to be adjusting his trousers. He yanked his belt and thrust one whip towards me. I had encountered Beast himself. He was tall, imposing, burly and endowed with a thunderous voice that could re...

Political Tumbocrats

*Political Tumbocrats* A political tumbocrat is a person who hangs around elected leaders to satisfy her/his personal greed. Tumbocrats sees a leader as a demigod whom they worship. The r bootlickers and sycophants of the highest order. Their work is to defend leaders and cheat public that something is happening. A tumbocrat has no values or morals. A tumbocrat is not interested with common good but personal good. A tumbocrat has no vision but appetite for being near high table of power  and feeding on crumbs.   Tumbocrats are greatest obstacles to development in our country. They protect the corrupt and shield the bad governance in so far as they get something to fill their tumbos. They are good and articulate in arguments but they lack the moral authority because they don't value truth. Every political leader is surrounded by tumbocrats. They are the noise makers in social media and around leaders defending them. They peddle lies en create propagandas . They confuse the publ...
