TO LIVE OR TO DIE

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.''

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

Jumia to start Black Friday Sale Early


Nairobi, Kenya, November 2016, Jumia has announced that it will start its Black Friday Sale eleven days earlier in a special program designed to allow shoppers take advantage of the thousands of deals lined up. Starting 14th November shoppers will enjoy huge discounts on specific categories of products each day across consumer goods, electronics, fashion, home appliances, sports & fitness, kids and toys and many more. Prices will hit rock bottom across all categories on the biggest day of the event, Black Friday(25th of this month). Sam Chappatte, MD Jumia Kenya said, “This year we have an even broader range of fantastic offers for our customers, covering new categories like consumer goods & diapers. Our team has been working nonstop for the last couple of months with our partners to prepare for this great event and are confident we will delight our customers! It’s all systems go from us, don’t miss out.” The Black Friday event will feature flash sales with discounts of up to 65% throughout each day. The faster you spot a deal, add it to your cart and check out, the better your luck. Brands expected to feature prominently include Pampers, Binatone, Infinix, Innjoo & many others. Other ventures taking part in this year’s Black Friday within the Jumia Group include Jumia Market and Jumia Food. With only two weeks to go before the sale begins, Jumia is confident its countrywide delivery network, numerous pick-up centres across Posta, G4S and Aramex offices, and diverse payment options (including Equity Bank’s new EazzyPay) will offer customers a seamless experience. About Black Friday Black Friday is the day after thanksgiving in the US – the last Friday of November- and regarded as the beginning of Christmas shopping season when many retailers offer promotions and massive price cuts on products. In that regard 25th November should be Black Friday, but due to massive deals offered by retailers selling on the Jumia website, Black Friday is now more of season than a day. Black Friday concept was first introduced in Kenya by Jumia in 2014. -- Robinson Murage PR & Communication Jumia Kenya Skype: robinson.murage Mobile: 0705414775 https://www.jumia.co.ke/signature-promo/?utm_source=signature&utm_medium=referral&utm_campaign=email-signature&utm_content=image
