Economy View

I know many people wonder why of late i ve bn so silence. No! I ve bn running around checking on the Kenyan economic growth. U can even c that i ve changed my template. Its now a cool thing.

The fact that i changed it is bcoz of some business ideas. 2gether with ma biz partners we ve started a stock brocking company. We deal with buying and selling of shares in NSE and opening of CDSC accounts. From May, i will concentrate more on that biz than ma professional field.

We were driven into it by the demand of many Kenyans who r currently enjoying economic boom and ve more disposable income which they would rather invest them in shares or something that gives a return. Currently there is Access Kenya IPO, but this is for only individuals who would afford more than 5000 shares meaning more than KSH. 50,000. The common mwananchi cant afford that. To follow is Kenya Re and of course the one and the only company which millions of Kenyans are waiting for, the most profitable company in East and Central, Safaricom.

Talking of Safaricom, there is a danger looming coz some individuals want it to be listed in NYSE or London Stock Exchange, claiming its too large to be handled by NSE...this is a big lie...this is juz the propaganda of making Safaricom a foreign company! Its profits are from Kenyans, so why should u take them away to a foreign land? NSE is growing, n it can only grow if large companies like Safaricom list in it.

My Holiday Fusion and Optimism

There are numerous examples of people throughout the world who have overcome handicaps to achieve great success. One thing separates these winners from those who fail: they disregard any and all obstacles. These people-and all winners-possess the will to win. It's a will that starts with a belief in our ability to achieve the goals we dream of accomplishing.

Unfortunately, the world does not provide much inspiration on a daily basis. From the reporting of mostly negative news, to a "20% chance of rain" mentality, to music that tells us that love must be a painful experience, most people have few daily reminders that they can obtain personal and professional greatness without having to win the lottery.

We are all faced with challenges at some point in our life, challenges that we did not create. Challenges that happened beyond our control. The difference is how we respond to these challenges. You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as your call to action.

"Become a 'possibilitarian'.
No matter how dark things seems to be or actually are, raise ur sights and the possibilities. Always see them, for they r always there"

Don't let go of your dreams. If you have determination and belief in your dreams, you will succeed in spite of your desire to let go. This poem really puts me on top of the world. When am down or rather feel bad i usually read it. Especially when someone wanna make ur ride rough or come over ur way, or wanna pin u down. I wishing u all a very nice and prosperous Easter holidays, enjoy urselves.

If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley-but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.

If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass-
But the liveliest bass in the lake!

We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here,
There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.

If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail-
Be the best of whatever you are!
