Hello World

Dear World,

Greetings,

I have been quiet, but I've decided to face you and for once request for a one on one conversation. This has been necessitated by the changes that happened in April 26,2014.

Now, now, now...Let me see, how/where do I even start.

Mmmmh,
I've been away from reality since I was born up to the date mentioned above. For all those years I had an almost sure perfect fallback position. If faced with a challenge there was a kind of subscribed support system that had never failed me.

Here I'm. It has come to that point I can no longer beat around the bush assuming that you know my situation.(I know you know it but you’ve assumed awaiting my reaction )The harsh reality is I come to you with debts in the name of HELB, I come with ideal life scenarios since birth, I come with ambiguity of what next (I mean how can I be very sure with your radical nature, massive competition, corrupt nature).

Yesterday, you were funny if not harsh. I just wanted to watch the game between Real Madrid and Bayern Munich 2nd leg, first leg I watched at the comfort of my sitting position almost reserved at no pay and a bigger screen, but, you know what you did yesterday, that I had to pay for almost a 100bob for 300ml soft drink so that I can watch that game. Seriously!, I mean can’t you understand I’m yet to make big monies. Today the same fate befalls me as Jose Mourinho face off with Diego Simeone.

I know this is just but your introduction of the hurdles to come but do you think I’ll just let you twist and turn me, No. In fact I’m armed big time with several weapons; God, Honesty, Confidence, Entrepreneurial spirit and Dynamism, that’s all that can give me an edge in  your presence. For the papers eeeh,eeh you know what happened between me,books, Nduati with his CSIA(but I’ve got life papers,you know)

Let me warn you if you will not be fair with the way you treat me, I’ll humble you in a manner you’ll hate me, your ways can be torturous. You are mightier but with the instruments above you can be sure, you have a huge set back.

Vrooom!, Let’s go.

The ExtraOrdinary


There is something that apparently stand out for all those who are considered successful in their lives starting with Jesus to other world achievers;Nelson Mandela,Wangari Maathai, Steve Jobs,Lee Kuan Yew...They had some traits,here are 5 of those traits;

1.Status Quo Disruption
They were not comfortable with their current situation of the environment and nations.
They did not just sit and watch  things happening or just got complacent with the cocoon.They went an extra mile to disrupt the commonly held belief.

2.Impacting on Life of Others
While they were busy chasing their visions,they indirectly or directly brought positive mark to the society.Their dreams were bigger than themselves.It was not just what is in it for me but what is in it for the masses.

3.They Believe in their Own Ideas and Visions
 It looked like a far fetched idea when Martin Luther Jnr was fighting for the rights of black Americans...now what can the racists say now? They were ready to die and others have even died pursuing their burning Visions.

4.Ready to Ignore Conventional Wisdom
 Everyone thought the world was flat until Columbus proved otherwise.When M-Pesa came to being everyone was asking where will money be traveling through.

5.More than Average Risk Tolerance
 Remember Job in the Bible who was willing to continue 'risking' his Faith in God despite losing his all.

Chapter 35: What’s leaving, What stays, What’s ahead?
