Interesting things to know about the towel

How often do you wash your towel? Some people wash once a week, while some, once a year. The towel is a fertile breeding ground for millions of microbes, especially those found on human skin and on the gut.  No wonder the towel is one of the objects that facilitate fecal-oral contamination (literally connecting the two ends of the gut).  Worse still, most people keep towels in the bathroom (near the toilet). Every flush of the toilet sends mist with millions of microbes, ranging from H.pylori,  salmonella and other deadly bacteria and viruses. When you wash your hands ready for a meal, and dry them with your body towel, there's high chance you are directly ingesting your fecal matter, or, if in a shared lavatory, someone else's faeces. Unless cleaned well, viruses such as human papillomavirus (causes warts, anal cancer and cervical cancer) can be transmitted when towels are shared with infected individuals. So, what to do? 1.

Always believe in yourself...DON'T QUIT

Bill Gates organized an enormous session to recruit a new chairman for Microsoft Europe.
 5000 candidates assembled in a large room.
 One candidate was Njoroge, a Kenyan living in the USA.
 Bill Gates thanked all the candidates for coming, and then asked all those who do not know JAVA programming to leave.
 2000 people left.
 Njoroge thought to himself, “I do not know JAVA, but I have nothing to lose if I stay. I'll give it a try."
 Bill Gates asked that all candidates who have never had the experience of managing more than 100 people to leave.
 2000 people left.
 Njoroge said to himself, “I've never managed anybody by myself, but I have nothing to lose if I stay. What can happen to me?” He stayed behind again.
 Then Bill Gates asked all candidates who didn’t have a minimum of a Diploma in Business Management to leave.
 500 people left the room.
 Njoroge thought to himself, “I left school at 15, grade 7, but what have I got to lose?” So, he stayed in the room.
 Lastly, Bill Gates asked the candidates who do not speak fluent Serbian to leave.
 498 people left the room.
 Njoroge thought to himself, “I do not speak one word of Serbian, but what do I have to lose?” So he stayed behind and found himself with only one other candidate.
 Bill Gates joined them and said, “Apparently you are the only two candidates who have all the qualifications and experience I am looking for and also speak Serbian. I'd now like to hear the two of you have a conversation together in that language."
 Calmly Njoroge turned to the other candidate, and in a hesitant voice said, "We mwega mundu wa nyumba?"
 The other candidate answered softly but clearly, "Gutiri na oru, no gwethera ciana mutu...”
By coincedence both Njoroge and the other candidate happen to come from kenya's kikuyu tribe
