Secret Of Riches


1) Wishing will not bring riches. But desiring riches with a state of mind that becomes an obsession, then planning definite ways and means to acquire riches, and backing those plans with persistence which does not recognize failure, will bring riches.

2) If you do not see great riches in your imagination, you will never see them in your bank balance. If the thing you wish to do is right, and you believe in it, go ahead and do it!

3) Awake, arise, and assert yourself. Your star is now in the ascendency. The world is filled with an abundance of opportunity which the dreamers of the past never knew.

4) You have been disappointed, you have undergone defeat during the Depression, you have felt great heart within you crushed until it bled. Take courage, for these experiences have tempered the spiritual metal of which you are made – They are assets of incomparable value.

5) There is a difference between wishing for a thing and being ready to receive it. No one is ready ofr a thing until he believes he can acquire it. The state of mind must be belief, not mere hope or wish.

6) Remember, no more effort is required to aim high in life, to demand abundance and prosperity, than is required to accept misery and poverty.

7) All achievement, not matter what may be its nature, or its purpose, must begin with an intense, burning desire for something definite.

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...

Mulolongo is not just a place.

Mulolongo is not just a place. It's a whole syllabus. And deep within its curriculum is a tiny street called Zambarau where meat is sold both day and night. By day, Zambarau is a heaven of nyama. Smoke rises like prayers as meat sizzles on grills. You can find it in stew, dry fry, grilled or even boiled for the toothless. But when darkness announces its arrival, the meat form changes. It’s still meat, yes, but this one is served somewhat raw. Colourful, tender and priced depending on texture, origin, and freshness. The most popular evening meat here is called pig Porko. Everyone in Zambarau street and its tributaries knows pig meat, Porko. It is well supplied, comes in different packages and is available all night till morning. On a certain Friday evening, Katomo walked into Mulolongo feeling like a tycoon. After working for three solid weeks smoothing walls in Kalangaita, the foreman finally remembered him. He was paid a full Ksh 790. Not a coin less. That evening, Kat...
