WE ARE YOU!!

Please come let us reason my precious one. Come and hear me pour out my heart!  What is your identity?  What is your purpose?  What is the reason why you breathe? Each and every one of us has the freedom to do the things we wish to do!  Go the places we desire to, keep the friends we want to and engage in any business we feel is worth our efforts. If you want to play now and work later or work now and play later; that choice is yours to make. What you have is freedom and the right to exercise it.  To say what you like, when you like, to whoever you feel like. But do not allow this freedom to deceive you. As a friend of mine would have me say; "we are you!".  Your freedom is our freedom.  Your actions is our actions, your friends become our friends your enemies our enemies. The benefits of what you do today is for us and the consequences is also ours to bear. For such is the burden of ties. As my wife and as my husband as my brother and as...

Expectations vs outcome

I remember now that scene from many years ago, something in the range of a decade how long exactly I cannot say with certainty. I remember I stood there in the audience above all others with my hands resting on the rail, listening to a brilliant speech by our seemingly eloquent speaker. He had come to our weekly place to speak to us about jobs and employment, the exact  occasion that warranted his  presence  is  something I can’t remember however, as I recall he stood there confident in his stride pacing the podium  as he  dropped nuggets of wisdom, with snippets of knowledge borne from  years of experience to spice it up.   He spoke to us about ways and practices to  overcome employment delays, scale through the most difficult interviews, make a fantastic impression and consequently seize the job from your would be competitors. But, just in the event  you do not belong to the class  of desperate job seekers he still had just ...

A day in the bank

Image
 Quick thought why is the entry door of the bank bigger than the exit door ?   that's the question i'm pondering  in my mind as I step into the banking hall already counting cash in my mind mentally trying to work out how much to spend on each of the numerous things I wish to purchase thereafter.  There is a queue as expected and its quite long but not long enough to deter me, so I quietly join the queue after asking one guard a few questions. To my delight, the four segment line moves quickly and i'm at the last segment under 10 minutes. To pass time, I halfheartedly admire a painting hanged somewhere in the banking hall. Its while I am trying to make some sense of the jagajaga painting that the unexpected happens. The lights go off and the annoying  beep of  numerous UPS take center stage.  The only light source is one rechargeable light shining from the managers office as though he was expecting the power outage chai! Now this is not ...
