MAN OOH MAN

When without money,
eats vegetables at home.
When has money, eats the same vegetables in a fine restaurant.
When without money, rides a bicycle to and fro home.
When has money rides an ‘exercise bicycle’ at home.
When without money, walks to earn food.
When has money, walks to burn fat.
Man O Man! Never fails to deceive thyself!
When without money, wishes to get married;
When has money, wishes to get divorced.
When without money, wife becomes secretary;
When has money, secretary becomes wife.
When without money, acts like a rich man.
When has money acts like a poor man.
Man O Man! Never can tell the simple truth!
Says share market is bad,
but keeps speculating.
Says money is evil, but keeps accumulating.
Says high positions are lonely, but keeps wanting them.
Says gambling & drinking is bad, but keeps indulging.
Man O Man! Never means what he says and never says what he means..
Life is not about what
you couldn't do so far,
it's about what you can
still do.
Wait, don't ever give up...
Miracles happen every day.
Kshs 200 seems too much to give a beggar but it seems okay when its given as tip at a fancy restaurant.
After a whole day of work, spending hours at the gym seem alright, but helping your Mother out at home
seems like a burden.
Praying to God for 3 min
takes too much time but
watching a movie for 3
hours doesn't.
Waits a whole year for
Valentine's day but always forget Mother's day.
Two poor starving kids sitting on the pavement
weren't given even a slice of bread but a painting of them is sold for hundred dollars.
We don't think twice about forwarding silly jokes, but we will rethink about
sending this message on.
Think about It..
Make a change, because you can ....
Here are six easy ways to earn, even after death.
1) Give a smile or gift to someone. Each time you gift a smile, it will make someone's day. You gain.
2) Donate a wheelchair to a hospital. Each time a sick person uses it, you gain.
3) Participate in building an orphanage, or a hospital or a school or a college or a church.
Anybody uses it, you gain.
4) Place a water cooler in a public place. When someone drinks the water, you gain.
5) Plant a tree. Whenever a person, animal sits in its shade or eats from it, you gain.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
