I WANT TO LIVE MY DREAMS NO MATTER HOW SMALL A WAY....

Dreams are funny especially dreams that are big.

Now, l am sitted at home in my jammies and on the net. I have really wanted this for a long time.But you see having this in Nairobi is a big dream.Sometimes not possible. But today l know what it is to work at home while in touch with the office through the net. Its interesting. I feel sawaz.Plus l know that that anything is possible if you want it to be.

The only thing is that you have to keep dreaming big. But remember the bigger the dream,the harder it gets plus the more painful it is when you hit the ground.But when you reap,you cannot compare it to anything you know.The feeling is exhilirating.

I mean what is the point of living and not living your dreams?You know, l don't want to look back later in my life and then wish l had pushed a little harder and lived my dreams even in a small way.I pray to God that someday this will be something l look at and thank Him that l fought harder.

THIS ROLLER COASTER OF A LIFE

My life has a way of throwing me onto roller coasters.

Today, l was excited about new prospects in my life. A minute later l was thinking ...okay now you really need to get it together so that your contracts are in tact.

Life is a total roller coaster right now.I guess l will figure it out as l go.Even when l don't feel it, the God factor in my life is powerful enough to keep me from falling off the edge.

KENYAN LEADERS BEHAVING BADLY!!! PART 2

72hours had not elapsed before Kenyan leaders behaved very very badly. What's with the fist fighting?

Can't people settle their disagreements amicably?What's with the getting physical? Do these gentlemen know that they are in the public eye?

No,l am not giving you a break.Yes,l know you are human beings and therefore not perfect. But the reason l cannot give you a break is because you were very alert when you got elected to office.You were not elected in absentia neither were you absent minded.

A public office comes with it's responsibilities and therefore, expectations. Sorry ladies and gentlemen, but part of the bargain is to almost be perfect.No mistakes.No sympathies when you make any errors.The public is not an extension of your bedroom or otherwise.Is this so difficult to understand?

Just a suggestion.A number of you need to either read leadership books or go for lessons on the same.It could actually keep you from behaving badly in public.

CHARITY BEGINS IN THE USA OR UK FOR KENYAN LEADERS!!!

Lets start from the tippy top...Charity begins at home but for our political leaders, it begins in USA or UK.

The much celebrated United States Senator Barack Obama is a man who knows clearly that looking good starts from the home front.This man who was busy looking good abroad was looking even better back at home.Home here meaning the USA.What most of us didn't know is that while Senator Obama was here, a bill he had fought hard for together with his Oklahoma counterpart, Senator Tom Coburn, was getting passed by the Senate.

The 'Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act," is a bill that will create a Google-like search engine and database to track approximately $1 trillion in federal grants, contracts, earmarks and loans.

Senator Obama hopes that this bill will help lift the veil of secrecy in Washington adding that'... this database will help make us better legislators, reporters better journalists, and voters more active citizens.'

Now, why all the talking about the Senator? One thing is clear.He doesn't just go out there and show his sweet side while at home he is wanting in leadership.I can't say that about most of our leaders.

Funny isn't it?They go out there and look all good.But back home they are wanting in their leadership.No waheshimiwas.I am not against you travelling and fundraising or doing whatever it is you want to do out there. What l frown upon is that, you go out there and make Kenyan leadership look like it stepped out of hell, while back at home you have nothing to show in way of intelligent judgement in your decisions.No,l am not saying the leadership here has saintly rings over their heads.No.

What l am saying is that most of you have reputations that are totally wanting.You are the first guys to cause commotion,entertaining infantile behavior is your cup of tea and many other things that are shameful to mention.

As national leaders, you need to learn that charity begins at home. You need to be saints both out there and back here.That can't be emphasized more than it has.
