Jacob was the new employee in the block fresh from college
who had just graduated with a Degree in Tele-Communication
electronics. He had an amazing talent in the Information and Communication Technology and was much willing to
share the knowledge in his new work place. The company intercom had not been
upgraded to be at par with the modern systems and Jacob being an expert in
Electronics proposed an upgrade for the whole system and to have it managed
centrally via software installed in a computer where you can be able to monitor
the signals and overlook if everything is running smoothly. With that knowledge
he went with his proposal to the company’s IT manager. But the IT manager
turned down the proposal citing that the system has been running smoothly all
along and does not see the need for the upgrade. But the truth was the IT
Manager did not want the young man to outshine
him after being in the company for more than 10 years. He went ahead and
threatened the young man that should he hear him proposing anything else for
the IT Dept, he will make sure that he gets fired since he did not want any
proposal that if implemented would “damage” the entire organizations image.
Moreover, he told Jacob that managing the IT dept is not a bed of roses and so he should stop thinking in that direction and
only concentrate with his work as per the company policies. Why am I giving the
imaginary scenario above? Read on….

Living in Harmony
There are people who in this world do not believe in living
in harmony. This is due to many differences that includes tribal, cultural,
financial and much more. The story that is told in the poem below is to serve
to teach us how to live in harmony with those who we believe are different from
us and thus unworthy to live with us. It is very important to learn to live in
harmony with everyone in the society.
Enjoy.

BRAGGING, BRAGGING, AND BRAGGING! Is it a normal behavior or a disorder plaguing the modern society?
It is on a typical Friday evening. Karis and Joel are on their favorite nyama choma joint in a group of friends and they all are sipping their favorite beer brand. “Hey, didn’t I tell you the other day that I will soon buy a Panasonic Video Camera before Christmas which I will use to shoot my sister’s wedding video who lives in United States of America? Guess What, I bought it yesterday at a cost of Kshs 260,000. I was thinking it may cost more but was surprised to find that it was so cheap.” Joel ostentatiously said. “My sister will be coming aboard the new Virgin Atlantic Boeing 767 which is set to be making its maiden journey to Africa this week. Karis, will you join me to go and meet my sister?” To the surprise of everyone in the restaurant who was eaves-dropping the heated one sided conversation, Karis turned down the offer. You have nearly guessed what type of scenario I am talking about. Why did I give the above scenario? Read on and know.

SOCIAL DYNAMITE
SOCIAL DYNAMITE
“An unstable society is like a land mine that is waiting for
someone to step on it to explode”.
Anthony Kiarie.
Our modern society is plagued by so many social issues that
have a far reaching effect upon the people. I call it an unstable society. The fact that many people in our society constitute young, energetic and unemployed
youths makes things worse. Some are unemployed due to fate and ill luck,
while others are just lazy. But all have one thing in common, they want to
survive and to survive they have to.

OFFICE POLITICS, Be smart and Informed
Consider this
scenario from a modern work place in our day to day career life.
*Names are
fiction.
It is 10:36 AM. A group of workers are chatting during a tea break. “As from tomorrow the
director said that all the submissions from the field work entries on sales
shall be submitted before noon and failure to do so will be met by a disciplinary
action, which might mean getting fired.” , said Husna who every one dreads due
to her usual cutting remarks and ‘close connections’ with the company director.
And she continues, “On top of that, all entries must be typed and printed and
must be on a paper which has the company’s letter head”.
From the
following day, almost everyone complied with the ‘new rules of operations’ from the director. What they did not
know is that the director said none of the ‘new rules’. Husna just came up with
the rules and knowing that the director is a harsh no-nonsense man, took
advantage of it to holistically lie to everyone to her advantage. Initially it
was her work to receive the entries as written by field officers on their data
collection sheets, type them and have them with a company letter head, file
them in accordance to departments and dates of submission and present the whole
work to the director at the end of the month. Why am I giving this imaginary
scenario that replays itself so often in our work places? Read on….

Important People to Know and be in-touch in our WORK PLACES
Important People to Know and be in-touch in our WORK
PLACES
Andrew’s phone rings on Monday morning and he reaches for
it. At the other end is Jacqueline, a Company’s secretary who works at one of
the regional centers of the company. “How do I switch on this new Epson Scanner
and how is it operated? I have tried everything in the manual but do not seem
to get things right.” Andrew being the company’s Information Technology Help
Desk Personnel, this is an easy task for him. “Make sure all the power cords are properly
fixed, switch it on using the red button which is beneath the sticker marked
EPSON INC, then……”. And we can be sure Andrew solved the secretary’s problem.
Why am I giving you this scenario that is repeated almost every day in many
work places in our society and in our careers? If you wish to know, then read

LESSONS WE MUST LEARN FROM MATATU INDUSTRY
WORKERS E.G. TOUTS.
In our modern society
there is this category of people who we mostly view from a negative angle yet
they have very important lessons for us in our modern career world, dating and
relationship games as well as tolerance and endurance in the modern world tough
social-economic conditions. We normally blame them for road carnage, rude
behavior towards customers (travelers/passengers), road overlapping and causing
traffic jams, over charging and hiking fares without notice, and at times
roughing travelers to an extent of beating them. But in all these, these guys
have very important lessons that we can learn if we are willing to learn from

Getting and Developing an Innovative Mind
INNOVATIVE MINDS
INNOVATIVE: New and creative, especially in the way that something is done. Innovative minds simply means minds that are capable of coming up with new ideas of how to accomplish the normal daily tasks that are done in order to make life easier. It’s also a way of maximizing profit while minimizing cost, something that is so crucial in our modern society and career world in General.
Depending on one’s career there are so many ways that you can appear as creative and innovative without necessarily having to invent an entirely new tool of trade or concept. Many people have a lot of concern and misconception on what it entails to have an innovative mind. Being the founder and the administrator of a Facebook group Innovative minds I am going to try and help people to understand the concept of having an Innovative mind. The concepts can also apply to anyone else in this life too.
Depending on your career line the ways may vary, so read and try to reflect and suit the ways of having an innovative mind as per your career line and your lifestyle.

Why
waste your life trying to get the attention or win the affection of people who

Why spend your time, effort, and resources seeking acceptance from people who are so wrapped up in themselves that they can't accommodate anybody else in their lives?

AVOID THOSE WHO MAKE YOU RADIATE NEGATIVE ENERGY!!
In life, we meet so many different types of people. I have
faith that all the people we have ever met have a degree of behavioral
influence upon us. Some even shape us in one way or another. When a child is
growing up, the first person they get to know is their mother, then probably
the father. Others just get to know their care taker in case the mother died
during child birth.

LIFE IS A QUEST
LIFE IS A QUEST
Life will always be a quest,
an adventurous expedition that we go after what we really desire not even sure
that the adventure will yield life or death. We live searching for one basic
thing: Happiness and in search for
happiness and contentment of soul, we pass through so many experiences, some
sweet, some bitter and others nasty. As a matter of fact, most people who have
died have died due to that quest. That is life.
Life |
NOTE: Not real names.
Career Quest
Anthony works as a technician in a garage, where he
repairs motor vehicles He has a Diploma
in Mechanical Engineering Automotive option. People know him as the best
technician who will revive any dead car to the state it was while new. He even
teaches other technicians on how to repair cars and besides he is an
accomplished driver. But Anthony has a secret he never shares with anyone. Deep
down in his heart he had always wanted to be a surgeon and he wishes, given opportunity, to become a surgeon one
day.
Agnes is a data entry clerk at a certain clinic in Nairobi, South B estate.
She has a Diploma in Information
and Communication Technology. Besides, she is so nice in her work and so
committed. She never misses a day of work and is never late. Her employer loves
her for she does her work with zeal like it is the only thing she ever wanted
to do. But whenever Agnes sees the nurses taking care of the sick in the
clinic, fire burns in her heart. Why? Her childhood dream was to become a Nurse, and she has among her priorities
to once become a nurse even if it
means in her old age.
Relationship Quest
Samuel is 41 years old, married to his beautiful, loving wife,
Carol who is currently 36 Years old. They have three kids aged 12, 10, and 7
years respectively. Theirs is a perfect
family since they both are working and have never had any major quarrel to
warrant even a single day separation. They are what you would consider a perfect couple. They go for holiday
twice in a year; they regularly go for outings and love doing everything
together. But Samuel has a secret which even Carol his wife does not know.
Before they met, Samuel was in love with Prudence who she considered his real
love. But they separated and no matter what, Prudence refused to be reunited
with Samuel. So Samuel later on met Carol at a wedding function and Carol fell
in love with Samuel. But Samuel has never fallen in love with Carol but got
married to Carol for convenience reasons; one of them is since Carol was
willing to settle down, get married and was a good wife material. Besides, He
was advancing in age and would not wait any longer to settle down since He had
gotten someone who is willing to settle. But Carol all along thinks Samuel
loves her. (Well, other people even know that their Spouses do not “Love” then
but will stick with them since it’s the best option at the moment, one reason
being they take care of their needs and the needs of the family among others).
It is not a wonder I know a couple
of people who know that their spouses have another lover outside (Mpango wa kando) but they simply
cannot quit from the relationship/marriage since presently it is just
convenient for them to stick around.
These are just examples from the
society that tell you something about people; most people will do something and
commit themselves to it from the convenience involved. People will stick to
careers that they never thought of in their childhood for the sake of having an
income. People will get married
since the biological clock is ticking so fast and they do not want to be left
out. Well, as long as you do something as if it’s the only thing you ever
wanted to do, with the maximum zeal you can surmount, no one will ever know you
are just there for convenience reasons.
Figure out these real Scenarios:
Talent Quest
I once met this guy who had a passion for football. He was the top
scorer in the neighborhood and at one time, a visiting National team manager
spotted him and saw that he has a talent. So the manager plotted for him a
channel to join the National team.
But while pursuing his dream he got frustrated by lack of money to travel from
Coast to Nairobi every other time and the dream just passed under the bridge
like that. As of now, the guy is an accomplished Game Ranger, and at the top of
his game since he does his work the best he can. By now, though, he is past the
age of ever becoming a football player.
Concord of Convenience
I also happened to talk to a nice
young lady of 24 years who told me that she is single, searching for her soul
mate and willing to get married. She happened to be a single mum with two kids aged 7 and 5 years old. She had dropped
out of high school and gotten married at a tender age but the man later
disappeared from her life. Her sentiments were that she is willing to get
married to any man as long as the man will love her, take care of her and her
kids, and not willing to sire with her more than 2 more kids. Talk of marrying
for convenience.
I have also seen people who
get married for convenience reasons not for love, and living it even for as
long as I have known them. What I am yet to know is how does it make them feel?
They will stick in the marriage for the sake of the children and commitment
reasons. Such marriages survive due to commitment and focus for the future
alone. Perhaps love comes later on but at a sacrifice.
Also it is true that so many people
are working in careers they never thought of while growing up. They are working
for the sole reason of meeting their daily needs. They dare not leave their
current jobs and they will do anything within their power to retain their jobs.
Even when an opportunity arises for them to pursue their dream career, they
still cannot do it. Why? They will have gotten other commitments in life that
are more demanding than career e.g. Family needs like food, shelter and
clothing. So instead of going back to college to study the career of their
choice, they would rather concentrate on teaching their children. Only a few succeed
in pursuing their dream career past the age of 40 years. Also it would be absurd to hook up with another partner
in the name of you have found your “dream
partner” or soul mate long after you have been in a working marriage for over 10 years, unless things did not
work out between the two of you. (Some people do incongruous acts e.g. hooking up with a partner who they think is
their soul mate, who is even younger than their youngest child.) But the quest for happiness in life can
make people do strange things.
Life Being a Vanity
Any wonder one of the wise men of
the old times said, “Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, vanity of
vanities; all is vanity. Ecclesiastes 1:2 vanity means the state of futile,
worthless, or empty of significance.
When we are growing up, there are
the things we grow up wishing to get. Among them are Good education, Good
career, Loving spouse, nice house in beautiful surroundings, a nice car etc the
list is endless. But as we grow up, we realize that getting those things we
ever wanted may remain just that, a farfetched dream. Very few people, if any,
live life perfectly as they desired when they were growing up. With the
complexities of life, very few people attain their desired choices in life.
Many limiting factors exist that hinder people from obtaining the desires of
their heart e.g. Fate, Money etc. Some people even in their quest for their dream life do a lot of
strange anti-social things e.g. Stealing, Lying, joining a cult, etc but if you
are a Christian you know better not to do such. Those who pursue their lifelong
desires through dubious means in the end have their conscience judging them
later on or misfortunes chasing after them like a hot arrow.
Bitter Truth we have to live by
The undesirable truth is, in this life, we have to learn to settle for less. Learn to be content with the
little that God has blessed you with. Remember those who are starving would
really wish to get that tasteless food you do not wish to eat. As you struggle
to maintain your physicality, remember there are those who do not have hands, legs
or other functioning bodily organs. As you moan that the career you are in is
not your dream career, remember someone somewhere does not even have any source
of income. Life will always be a quest,
an adventurous expedition that we go after what we really desire not even sure
that the adventure will yield life or death. We live searching for one basic
thing: Happiness and in search for happiness and contentment of soul, we pass
through so many experiences, some sweet and others nasty. As a matter of fact,
many people die in that quest. That is life.
It is through the quest in life some wise sayings came
about e.g.
1.
Better late than never.
2.
Kutangulia sio kufika (Being early
does not necessarily mean you will arrive)
3.
He who watches after the wind will
never plant
4.
Chelewa Chelewa ukizubaa utakuta
mwana si wako (Should you get late you may find the child is not yours)
5.
Mweda pole hajikwai (He who walks
slowly does not stumble)
6.
Haraka Haraka Haina Baraka (Hurry
hurry has no blessings)
7.
Lay hay while the there is sunshine
8.
Vunja mifupa wakati meno bado iko
(Break bones while you still have teeth)
At
times the wise sayings are also a recipe for confusion. Figure these two Swahili sayings:-
1.
Ukizubaa utakuta mwana si wako (You
may late and find the fortune is not yours)
2.
Haraka Haraka haina Baraka (Hurry
hurry has no blessings)
3.
Now you wonder, at what pace do I go
in this life? Personally, both sayings had at one time affected me, with
consequences too.
A life Resolution
In marriage, some have wives and
husbands that do not in so many ways represent their ideal partners. They are
however loving, caring and are so committed to the marriage. They will do
anything within their power to make the marriage work, and this calls for a
lifelong sacrifice. Be content you even have such a person in life, some people are lucky to marry their dream
partners, but after the dream is over, the reality is worse than hell.
Whatever you lay your hand on as
long as it is constructive to you and the society, do it with all your heart
and dedication. Give it enough time and effort that it requires and in that way
the results will be worthwhile.
1.
Never lose sight of what you want
with your life, don’t let go off the things that you enjoy most as long as they
are harmless.
2.
Love other people and do well to
them. Do to other people what you would like them do to you.
3.
If you are a Christian, live as per
biblical guidelines of life and as a Muslim live as per the Quran and in that
way you will learn to enjoy this life as it is.
4.
Never lose sight of your hobbies and
whenever possible, make your hobbies work for you.
5.
Remember, your duty as a man is
summed up as this, “Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God,
and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. Ecclesiastes
12:13
Truly, Life is a Quest, a quest for happiness, contentment,
satisfaction and……

FOUR PEOPLE YOU WILL MEET IN YOUR LOVE LIFE!!
Four people you
will meet in life
“4 Love is patient and is kind; love doesn’t
envy. Love doesn’t brag, is not proud, 5 doesn’t behave itself inappropriately,
doesn’t seek its own way, is not provoked, takes no account of evil; 6 doesn’t
rejoice in unrighteousness, but rejoices with the truth; 7 bears all things,
believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. 8 Love never fails.
But where there are prophecies, they will be done away with. Where there are
various languages, they will cease. Where there is knowledge, it will be done
away with. 9 For we know in part, and we prophesy in part; 10 but when that
which is complete has come, then that which is partial will be done away with.
11 When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I felt as a child, I thought as a
child. Now that I have become a man, I have put away childish things. 12 For
now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but
then I will know fully, even as I was also fully known. 13 But now faith, hope,
and love remain—these three. The greatest of these is love.

BEAUTIFUL AND
HANDSOME: THE TUG OF WAR!!
We have always admired to be
beautiful or handsome. Personally I know am handsome, and despite being a man I
can tell handsome men, and some being more handsome than me and can also tell
an ugly man. The same, I can tell a beautiful lady and an ugly lady.

PEOPLE TO AVOID AT ALL COST
Building strong relationships with people is one way that can make you successful in life, career, family or business. For instance; role models, mentors, motivators, financiers etc. However there are people you should either stay away from (if you can achieve it) or people you have to properly manage if you want to be successful.
LOVE AND MONEY
Love and Money
Waswahili husema, “Mkono mtupu haulambwi”, that is, “An
empty hand cannot be licked.” And of course this means money.

CAUTION SOCIAL
NETWORKING USERS
With this era of technology, people have been able to be
what “they are not”. In facebook we have people who check in expensive places
while in reality they are in Korogocho or mukuru kwa njenga slum.
