It’s Not Whether You Get Knocked Down, It’s Whether You Get Up





Learning to admit and to deal with disappointment is an important lesson in life. The world of sport is so that there is usually a winner and the loser, and this experience of being one or the other is a useful figure. 

It is inevitable that there can be useful persons who go out of the play defeated in preparation or in the competition, but it is crucial to encourage them to realize that losing is nothing to be ashamed of. We will always have that one person is a sore loser. By  learning to keep and understand your emotions and suffering, you will develop resilience that will propel you forward in life. 

After all, take some obstacles, learn to distinguish in frustration and pick up yourself when you fall. Be a winner and never give up once you have breath. It's not about reaching the finish line that matters but rather the strength to get up and get going. I wish you all the best.

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...
