Liam@1 Dear Little Liam, My Little Liam as we celebrate your first anniversary in this planet earth, we always have fond memories of you. Your charming smile erases all fears in the eyes of both your parents. I know you will get this message one day, when you will have come of age. My son we know that you will live to be a towering figure in the society. Receive our blessings in abundance as the greatest of all the birthday gifts. Dad would have loved to attend your first birthday event, but he won’t make it due to limited resources and the distance between us. It was fate that made it possible for you to celebrate your first birthday with your mum in Kakuma, Turkana County while your dad is stuck at Kitale, Trans Nzoia County. But dad took a memory of you, just two days before your birthday as he bid you bye to Kakuma.  Photo taken on 06/01/2022 Why I was unable to attend your first birthday, was due mum’s love for you and would not have leaved you under my custody as you were st...

Dear Phoebe, As we celebrate the first anniversary of our dearest son, we should always cherish the good times together.  The first ever best gift we successfully managed to reward ourselves is our little Liam. A product of two loved ones that can’t be easily wished away. I know my darling will be in a position to give our scion a befitting birthday observance. How I wish I were around to be part of a momentous occasion in which we reflect our struggles to beat all the odds, ranging from the numerous walks to Dr Wamalwa’s clinic to Kitale referral hospital all the way to  Dr Kasembeli’s Galillee Hospital where you endured all the pain to bring joy to our family. Recall how you got used to baked clay and thorn melon? Currently, we complete the circuit when we are three. None of us feels good when he or she gets disconnected from the other.  There comes our pride, making it a necessity for us to appreciate each other, despite some of our varied disadvantages. We are two in ...

As the adage would have it, destiny can be delayed, but can’t be denied. On your journey to progress, you will encounter imponderable obstructions. But how you handle those obstacles will determine your next step. The barricades you encounter should not be a hindrance, but a wakeup call for change of tact. Learn from the mistakes and improve on your strategies. Try a little A/B testing , visualize the changing patterns and pick the most appropriate. Successful individuals are those who don’t fear taking risks. Show me a person who has never taken risks and succeeded and I will show you a guy who progressed without hazards but failed to rise when he was struck with a mishap. Challenges shape humanity and act as a rear mirror to reflect on your past failure in order to progress well. Some things happen in life to show you proper direction. Failure is underpinned on the ability to repeat doing the same thing over time and expect distinct results. Never underestimate the ability of another...

Most people esteem living a cozy life, and with this in mind they strive to earn more money. Monetary chess is often an endless game.  As you earn more, you yearn for more to come. Individuals, agencies, companies and authorities in power have become corrupt because of the insatiable desire to have much money to the inconvenience of others. Money Matters As the adage would have it, money can move mountains. With money you can acquire as much as you need. The only thing that money can’t buy is happiness. Every day you wake up, finding yourself breathing free oxygen, then be generous to thank the Almighty Creator, God. We’ve seen people with money suffering from chronic ailments, and ultimately losing the battle. With money you can go to a State-of-the-art hospital, hire the best physicians but you can’t purchase life.  Living is a great privilege accorded free of charge to all humans. Your government can tax you, but God cannot even demand a single penny from you. All the churc...

I n what could best be described as a game not meant for the faint-hearted, was the desire for progress that attracted inordinate risks.  Gaming was adopted to deceive people who are out to make quick riches. I saw my fortunes plummet as I delved deeper into the uncharted waters in my copious attempts to mint millions within a shorter period of time. As I pondered on the returns, I never wavered in my endeavors. When the magnitude of loses reached bitter proportion, I contemplated various ways to unravel the puzzle that could make my life a little better. Sometimes I almost gave up, but the persistence to succeed never erased my hopes. I did a personal research on the winning trends and patterns and came up with an innovation that trained various models and display speckled solutions. I deployed the mathematics I was taught at Kibabii High School by Mrs. Ann Khisa and the one I was taught at Maseno University, Probability and Statistics lessons, by Dr. Silas Onyango. ...

Never did I know that plagiarism is an own offense. If you are the type of a person who likes shortcuts in life, then you aren’t destined for greatness. Remain honesty to yourself and commit some task to your brain. To be progressive in life, always think and think big. Utilize your mind effectively and meditate on things that can improve your life and your posterity. Seek knowledge where necessary and try to decipher it in your own tactic.  Things will always go the opposite when you copy paste other people’s ideas posing as your own. You might be lucky to rise at some point, but your fortunes can easily plummet without warning.  The advent of the internet demanded online presence. Individuals, businesses, institutions and authorities endeavored to stamp their popularity on Search Engines to attract broader clientele.  Google algorithm can easily rank highly optimized sites of a similar content with yours based on their originality and timing. Google AI coul...

Always remain optimistic no matter what, and never degrade yourself. Cynics remain deprived because of failure to rise up when struck with a problem. Challenges are there in human life, and we must always be prepared to face them whenever they come. In life you should not underrate anyone, even if you are blessed to rise to a top-rated echelon. Those at the bottom were steps of the ladder you were using to climb to the top. In every establishment there ought to be people of every caliber in order to create a symbiotic balance. Just imagine having all people at the same level of expansion, then who will dig your grave when you die. Never underestimate other people in the society.  Underrating others is akin to reprimanding God’s work. When rising, never lose the common touch. Reach out to your old buddies, find out how they are doing and help where necessary. Forgetting your past is like a river with a drying source. Keep in mind that charity will always begin at home.
