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.'' 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

President Uhuru Degree On Question

By Anwar Saddat FYI For those willing to verify information about Uhuru's degree, you can call The office of register @413 542 2225. Comparing the verified degree results which showed Uhuru graduated with a D-(minus) from the University and the degree Uhuru presented to IEBC, in which he claimed to have graduated Summa Cum Laude, we have petitioned the district court of Massachusetts to issue an order so that the school can make public, the results of Uhuru Kenyatta. We are in consultation with the school's counsel office, which can be reached @413 542 5645. After the conclusion of this issue, we will be releasing those information as allowed by law.

SECURE YOUR FUTURE, STOP BLAMING EVERY SITTING PRESIDENT OR GOVERNMENT OF YOUR COUNTRY FOR YOUR DESTINY

Poverty is not the lack of money, it is the lack of ideas As a young Leaders and Businessman, The Late Dr. Myles’s teachings and wisdom have pushed me to great heights in my journey to success. I recommend more young people to read his message as well, be blessed: “I was born poor, sleeping on the floor with cockroaches and rats. Today, I own my own jet. Everything I have is paid for. I am debt free; I open new businesses every year and mentor many people,” -Myles ON UNEMPLOYMENT Myles Munroe strongly discouraged the reliance on Government for jobs, describing it as ‘lazy thinking.’“There is no such thing as unemployment in the world. What you call unemployment is what I call lazy thinking,” he says.“The work of government is not to create jobs, but to create an environment for people to develop their own work,” he asserts. ON GIFTS/TALENTS Munroe discourages employed professionals against relying solely on their jobs for income, urging them to instead create wealth using their unique

Higher Education Course Selection

By Dr. Paul Bundi Karau we owe it to our youth to tell them the truth about course selection. Here's one case which represents the dilemma our brothers go through A young lady called me this afternoon (after seeing my earlier post on careers). She scored a C plain in 2016 KCSE, and applied for KUCCPS courses (IT, Banking and Finance, Business Information Technology, ALL DIPLOMAS). Unfortunately, she wasn't selected for any of them. Now she seeks advise on what to do Here is my take ((Disclaimer: I'm not implying that I have all answers, that's why I invite discussion): 1. Advising on course selection is a double-edged sword. The student must love and deeply understand the courses you suggest. Otherwise, people can blame you in future for leading them to a dead end. 2. Technical courses, which the government is heavily funding, are the future of this country. 3. This person chose banking because she believes she will be employed in a bank/financial institution. Yet cur

This is what Buuri mp has done through the jubilee administration...what has our mp done?

By Hon.Kinoti Gatobu   President Uhuru Kenyatta is an excellent leader and a great friend of mine. Meru should FCC d not blame the president but should instead vote out the political brokers in Meru who are blocking Uhuru's developments from reaching Meru. A few days after my election as an independent M.P. for Buuri, President Uhuru Kenyatta invited me to his home and I shared with him my vision for Buuri and since then he has been very supportive in helping me achieve the big vision. As Buuri M.P., these are some of the direct benefits I've brought from President Uhuru Kenyatta to Buuri since 2013. GOD willing as Meru Governor I will bring even more goodies from Uhuru Government to Meru County: 1. Tarmac road Kisima-Kibirichia-Kiirua-Ruiri Road which is under construction by China Aerotec Ltd with total length of about 50km. 2. Double number of title deeds to help title deed coverage in Buuri reach 95%. Kiirua Nkando title deeds in Buuri were issued by President Uhuru Ken

The steps of buying land in kenya

Steps of buying land in Kenya If you are buying land from an individual or a group, follow the following steps: 1. Ask to see the title deed or copy of title deed. Then do a search at the ministry of lands to confirm who the real owners are or if the title has any Caveat on it. The search will cost you kshs 520. 2. Do a search with the local authorities to check of any unpaid land rates. If any, agree with the seller on who will settle the debt. Nb: land can't be transferred if there are unpaid land rates. 3.

KENYANS ARE WORN OUT FROM FOUR YEARS OF JUBILEE’S BAD GOVERNANCE AND MISMANAGEMENT!

The Rt Hon Raila Odinga today quelled any reports of disquiet in the NASA fraternity at a public rally in Masinde Grounds in Mathare. The ODM Party Leader reassured the mammoth crowd that the leadership of NASA is brought together by ideology and not personal interests and is therefore focused on delivering salvation to Kenyans in the General Election. On his part, H. E Kalonzo Musyoka reiterated his commitment to NASA and dispelled rumors of discord attributing them to desperate Jubilee efforts to divide the newfound Opposition unity. Senator Wetangula and Hon Mudavadi concurrently pledged their commitment to the NASA Movement; all promising to stick together all the way to the poll. The Rt Hon Odinga revealed the fallacy behind Jubilee’s Last Mile venture; it is widely reported in the media that there are over 1 million fictitious connections hidden in the midst of this white elephant project. This flagship Jubilee project like many others falls short of the expectations of the peopl

The Monkey Business

A friend just shared with me this stock market story A lot of monkeys lives near a village. One day a merchant came to the village to buy these monkeys! He announced that he will buy the monkeys @ $100 each. The villagers thought that this man is mad. They thought how can somebody buy stray monkeys at $100 each? Still, some people caught some monkeys and gave it to this merchant and he gave $100 for each monkey. This news spread like wildfire and people caught monkeys and sold it to the merchant. After a few days, the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys @ 200 each. The lazy villagers also ran around to catch the remaining monkeys! They sold the remaining monkeys @ 200 each. Then the merchant announced that he will buy monkeys @ 500 each! The villagers start to lose sleep! ... They caught six or seven monkeys, which was all that was left and got 500 each. The villagers were waiting anxiously for the next announcement. Then the merchant announced that he is going home for a week.

BEFORE YOU KILL A YOUNG MAN'S DREAM

Before you kill a young mans dream, Remember you have sons and daughters, Them that still dream for a better future and greener pastures, Them that have ambitions to make our mama land a better place Before you kill a young mans dream, Remember you can kill a messenger but not the. Message, You can kill a prophet but not the prophecy You can kill a dreamer, but not the dream Before you kill a young mans dream, Maximise in your peoples strength and let them grow Give Caesar what belongs to him For Podo shall never be called Pine. A young man's dream has been massacred but then, It Shall Be Fine With A Young Mans Soul. #BrigeddiaPoet

Breathing in and out is life...

*Breathing in and out is life... *Been born and dying is also part of life... *Sickness and health is equally part of life... *Being young and getting old is life... *Happiness is not the absence of problems... but the absolute confidence that any Problem can be solved... *We focus so much time investing, on the outside and forget to invest Within ourselves. * If your health begins to fail today, Would wealth mean anything? The moral of the story is... Life is a journey of souls, we must nature our associations daily. Just like we need food everyday to nourish and maintain healthy bodies, our soul needs spiritual food. When we nourish our souls spiritually on a daily basis through prayer, meditation and have Faith... Our journey becomes worthwhile. We begin to visualize and know our destination. Focus on the journey ....enjoy the journey. This then translates to a life well lived.

If I was an African President or Minister, I’ll be ashamed to go to the Chinese government to ask for aid.

  China government has more people to feed than the whole African continent. It’s the Chinese who should be coming to ask our help or migrating here for better life. I’m ashamed to see how little pride we have left in our culture. Are Africans inferior to Chinese? The same for India. India has more people to feed than the whole African continent. Still our Presidents go there to ask for aid from India to feed their people. Shame, Shame, Shame! Aren’t they ashamed? Don’t they see that they are the laughing stock of the entire universe? India has a population much bigger than the entire African continent, but the country is managed by one prime minister and 23 ministers. Africa, with less population than India is managed by 54 Presidents, and over 1080 (one thousand eighty) ministers, who collectively still achieve less than a single prime minister in India. China with bigger population than Africa has no permanent members of Parliament. The 3000 members of the National

YOUR LIFE IS NOT A COINCIDENCE. IT’S A REFLECTION OF YOU!

A son and his father were walking in the mountains. Suddenly, his son fell, hurt himself and screamed: “AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!!” To his surprise, he heard the voice repeating, somewhere in the mountain: “AAAhhhhhhhhhhh!!! Curious, he yelled: “Who are you?” He received the answer: “Who are you?” Angered at the response, he screamed: “Coward!” He received the answer: “Coward!” He looked to his father and asked: “What’s going on?” The father smiled and says: “My son, pay attention.” And then he screamed to the mountain: “I admire you!” The voice answered: “I admire you!” Again the father screamed: “You are a champion!” The voice answered: “You are a champion!” The boy was surprised and confused. Then the father explained: “People call this ECHO, but really this is LIFE. “It gives you back everything you say or do.Our life is simply a reflection of our actions.If you want more love in the world, create more love in your heart. If you want more competence in your team, improve your competence. Th

What is your mindset when you see a challenge?

By Strive Masiyiwa Remember what I've written before about the importance of having the right mindset? Always looking for the game changer... that's a mindset, too! When we were planning to set up Kwesé TV, I asked an expert what he thought would be one of our biggest challenges. "Getting licenses to operate in all these countries," he said. "Maybe we have to go to court again?" "No, we're not going to court on this one. No need," I said emphatically. "We will operate where we have licenses and use the YouTube solution elsewhere." "YouTube solution?" he asked. "Does YouTube need a license for their TV services on the Internet?" "No." "So you mean if we offered the service, through an App, we won't need a license?" This sounded interesting. "Well, if it's like YouTube, the only way they can stop us is to shut down the whole Internet." "I see. Can we develop an App like Wh

When Africans get rich they don't mix!!!

A rat swallowed a diamond and the owner of the diamond contracted a man to kill the rat. When the man arrived to kill the rat they were more than a thousand rats bunched up and one sitting by itself away from the pack. He killed the one by itself and that was the exact one that had swallowed the diamond. The amazed owner of the diamond asked: How did you know it was that rat? He responded: Very easy.... When Africans get rich they don't mix!!!  

Some Of classic outbursts by President Uhuru Kenyatta

Recent public outbursts, personal attacks and raw anger have come to characterise President Uhuru Kenyatta’s style. Last week he called a governor a “foolish devil” and told striking doctors he would “sort them out.” Not without provocation, Uhuru has called opposition leader Raila Odinga a “madman” and a “witch doctor”. Generally easygoing and affable, the 55-year-old head of state appears to be losing his cool, lambasting and ridiculing rivals and critics. Is this a deliberate get-tough strategy, or are these the spontaneous outbursts of a public figure under stress? With the general election five months away, Uhuru is under pressure to end a 97-day-long doctors’ strike, a 52-day-long lecturers’ strike, months of death and destruction by marauding herders and bandits - and to mitigate a devastating drought and famine. And the electoral numbers aren’t as solid as in 2013. Uhuru’s critics are naturally pleased at his excesses, but even some supporters are concerned about the intemperat

A true entrepreneur is never frustrated by anything...

By Strive Masiyiwa What do you do that is different? __Always look for the "game changer" (Part 1). There is a story told in the legend of modern business about a young man who liked reading books. He would order books by mail order, but being a very avid reader he found that it took too long for the books to arrive. So what did he do? He sat down and designed a new way to get books delivered in the shortest time possible. His process for ordering and delivering books has turned him into one of the richest people in the world. That young man is Jeff Bezos of Amazon, and he's now worth over $50bn. Sometimes the "game changer" comes from the way you deliver your service to the customer! As an entrepreneur, one of the keys to your success is your continuous search for something that sets you apart, even if you're in the same business as others. Some of the things that you do don't have to be technological or highly sophisticated -- just different! And sma

Uhuru has DONE NOTHING for Kikuyu People, Speaking Gikuyu is NOT ENOUGH

By Anwar Sadat President Uhuru Kenyatta has been speaking a lot of kikuyu lately, whenever he visits Central kenya. After realizing that there is nothing remotely similar or comparable between his life of opulence, or his privileged upbringing & experience and the mostly poor kikuyu masses he sees while campaigning, he is forced to pretend being their comrade by speaking in their dialect. The man has been President for close to five years (remember even durining nusu Mkate he had more powers than Kibaki himself), in charge of a trillion shillings Kenyan economy; his party controls both houses; but has not implemented any policy to provide employment opportunity for the youths. Mr. President, the hundred thousands of youths thronging your rallies from Monday to Sunday don’t do so because they love you, it’s because they don’t have jobs. They come to hear you, hopping that you will tell them of your plans to create jobs, lower their taxes and fees preventing them from starting small

Five Technologies that Have Majorly Shaped Modern Meetings and Conferences

  Since the invention of world wide web, and the coining of the term ‘internet of things’, the rate of growth in this field has grown and accelerated remarkably; touching on basically every facet of life. This article by Jumia Travel team examines different innovations that have bolstered great convenience and efficiency in the meetings and conferences frontier. Big data for connection and retention Just like we champion for customer-centric products, every event organizer should be keen in developing attendee-centric conferences and meetings of any kind. Previous interaction, surveys, and real time feeds will help organizers predetermine crowdflow control measures, food servings and menu, programming and schedules as well as networking processes and group interaction. Live stream Virtual meetings, webinars, and webcasts have become the norm. The primary basics for livestream is quality; ensure that camera picture quality, lighting, transitions, and bandwidth requirements are all

The Bitter Truth Story of Kenyan Politicians

By Gilbert Kenya In the world of REALPOLITIK our politicians can only be rivalled by the most seasoned harlots of Nairobi’s proverbial K- Street (I hear they’ve all since moved online and to the darker streets of leafy suburbs like Kilimani and Westlands). However, some twilight girls come across as smarter than the politicians. The striking resemblance between our politicians and most twilight girls is their ability to change allegiance faster than lightning and instantly getting intimate with their new catch, while reserving all the filthy names for their previous clients/parties. If you ask, they will tell you: “This is the nature of the game!” Nevertheless, smart twilight girls know that mentioning the client they were in bed with, the previous night – whether in good or bad light – is an instant put-off to the current client. Hence, for the sake of world peace, such mentions are a NO-NO. Their rule of thumb is: stick to the business of the day and avoid any topic on former clients

How to avoid burnout by minding your energy levels

By Dr.Paul Bundi Karau I promised, as a continuation to the Pomodoro Technique, to address the issue of burnout. Today’s student and professional is constantly exhausted and dazed by hours of work, buzzing phones, social media and ever-increasing demands. There’s less and less time to reflect, take a deep breath and prioritize. Life moves at a frenetic pace, and we feel the nagging to move with it. Energy and time are not limitless. They need to be maximized. We must be careful how we handle our bodies. They need rest to replenish lost stores, remove toxins and establish new neuronal connections. Says Chris Winfield, a renowned blogger: To sustain your work for long, it’s important to understand how things like energy level and attitude affect your work output. Having a positive outlook will boost your motivation. Any student or working class individual hoping to make maximum use of available time, with proper motivation and positive attitude ought to take a daily energy inventory. T

The Pomodoro Technique; Doing more in a short time and still maintaining focus

By Dr.Paul Bundi Karau One of the daily challenges we all face is; we have loads of work to do, but little time and depleting energy levels. At Alliance Girls High School, the recurring question from form four students was; I want to accomplish a lot, but there is very little time remaining. How can I do that? How can I maintain focus? Distractions, says Chris Winfield, inhibit your ability to totally immerse yourself in a subject, and in a state of flow. The Pomodoro Technique helps you focus and better utilize your mind. It is built upon four basic principles. 1. Work with time, not against it: We spend our precious lives racing against deadlines, at a frenetic pace. This breeds fatigue and aversion for what we do. Using this technique, you work with the available time, not against it. 2. Eliminate burnout: Short power breaks ensure that you replenish energy levels quickly and go back to work. This aspect of Pomodoro Technique ensures you also take a ‘deep breath’, which is known t
