Dear Future Me.....




Dear future Kevin,

I know you are reading this from a lawn chair at sunset with the sound of kids or grandkids playing in the yard. I know you are probably not in the stage of life that you expected to be right now and you miss the friends that you used to know and the joy they brought you. Your body feels weaker now and you are probably few pounds heavier in the wrong places. I am guessing you quit drinking and living the high life some time ago to concentrate on whats important and your family thanks you for it. I am sure you only communicate with some members of the family and have completely ignored others at your current age and it doesn't bother you much. For this I say I am sorry, I lived the life that I was given to the best of what I thought were my abilities. I loved with a fierce flame and got put out in the cold snow and I felt I couldn't love anymore. I am sorry for the pounds on you for we were once strong and swift but now just the thought of exercise is tiring. I am sorry I didn't make you a father sooner and I hope the children have brought you enough joy to make up for my betrayal.

I am sorry for the damage I have caused our body and thank you again for changing the status quo for us to live to see the grandchildren. I am sorry for not striving to achieve more in life and I didn't work hard enough to get you the big german car or the 100 acre ranch that we always wanted but I hope what I gave you to work with is okay and the family isn't struggling. I am sorry for not dealing with my emotions and making decisions on what my heart wanted me to do. I know the heart is not so smart but I hope that is what lead you to marry the woman that you did. Sorry for wearing my heart on my sleeve like I do and I thank you even more for being a better man than I am.

She killed him.........................

A man’s primary purpose in life is to provide, both for the present and the future. Often, nothing he possesses naturally is seen as inherently valuable. For a woman, however, the opposite is true, as she is born with much of what is deemed valuable for the species. It's a rather bleak topic to discuss, yet it reflects a truth we have come to understand. Recently, I buried a great man who did everything right, though it wasn’t enough to earn him the long life he so deserved. Born and raised in poverty, he was on his way to becoming the best in his field, until he met someone he couldn't resist. As a child, he encountered a beautiful girl whom he believed could walk on water. Their young love blossomed in the dusty, rural farmlands of western Kenya, only for life’s circumstances to separate them for nearly two decades. During their time apart, he built a foundation that his peers from the village could only dream of. From barefoot maize harvests in the village to excelling at a ...

How Much Is Enough? I think I figured it out.....................

I recently faced a situation that I have faced multiple times, getting vindicated for my integirty while those who chose a different path finding themselves on the wrong side. I have worked in the industry I am in for almost 16 years now and during that time I have seen colleagues get rich through dubious means. My time in this iindustryhas made me aware of ways in which this is possibe but I have always questioned on whether it is worth it. Guys getting kick backs or outright theft looks attractive in the moment but at the end of the day you always get caught and find yourself in a worse of position than before. We see the same thing in our politicians and even though theirs is the making oofa kleptocracy we always ask ourselves, How much is really enough? I think I may have found out how much in my perspective may be enough. KES. 300 MILLION Hear me out on this, if you were to have a windfall or accumulate wealth in a short time i personally believe that amount would serve my family ...

Always looking out for number 1

I just got a new job that is sales in nature , my previous job was an I.T. position which gave me a chance to compare the differences between humans and machines. A machine is supposed to be predictable ,with a particular set of inputs you get a particular set of outputs. A human is supposed to be unpredictable where one group wants to go left there is this guy who always wants to go right. However, I realized that machines can be at some point unpredictable while the humans vice versa. A human will be predictable in that every little situation you bring to him will only flow with your idea if and only if it is of some benefit to them. That brings me to the basis of this topic today, number in is you and your immediate interests and issues if importance. With that being said, I would love to burst the bubbles of certain individuals who seem to rely too much on other people. If you are an adult and probably approaching middle age, you are of three different levels of life : accomplis...
