Blissful Ignorance.......do you really want to know

I learned two statements as a child , one from a song and the second from a cartoon series. Ignorance is kind , knowledge is power. Anybody care to guess which was from where. What I realized from the sayings is that however much knowing a lot can be a good thing, knowing very little could also be in your favor. Case in point, believing in a being that you cannot prove exists is a kind form of ignorance. Children believing in Santa Claus gives them something to be excited about but the knowledge of his absence eventually frees them from dependance on the unrealistic at the expense of their innocence.
So what brought this on, well when you sit across the table from someone you are having a discussion with and everything he says is a lie this can work either way for you. Not knowing the truth could keep from harm or take you straight into it. One could argue that you shouldn't trust everything that comes out of the mouth of someone who's sole purpose is to profit. Brings us to another term set of words to live by,trust but always confirm.
In business , lies come with the territory but what about from someone you trust. You know that moment you spoke to a loved one and they told you a lie? Well depending on how big the lie is, it hurts when you find out. How about if the loved one lied to protect you from the truth, they may know that it could wreak havoc in your lives and you may never speak again. Think about that, I am not advocating for lying to your relatives or close people but you have the power to destroy someone with your tongue.
Please use it wisely......

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 ...

Love what you do

It's 9:00 pm on the last flight out of Jomo Kenyatta international airport to Moi international airport and I'm sipping a cold beer at 23,000 feet. The flip side is I have a cold and I have not had a good nights rest in a while. I am sleep deprived and pretty hungry so it's not all rosy up here. That however, isn't why I am writing this. I am writing this because of a totally different reason. I generally don't pay attention to the safety instructions at the beginning of the flight but this time I did . Why do you ask, because of the male flight attendant. Why would a male flight attendant make me concentrate, well it was late at night and he had probably flown back and forth a couple of times but he still entertained us. The guy got up on the P.A system and gave us an audio presentation worthy of a radio talk-show host. He introduced the captain, first officer and all the flight attendants like he was introducing his fellow band mates and it was refreshing.  I ha...
