My defination of success

     Now now, we all know we can't be a million Obamas, a thousand Uhurus or even two Beyonces. It's as impossible as it sounds. According to me we can all have our own success and the world will be a better place. This will only happen when we stop wanting to be like so and so and start being ME, start making good use of our inner strengths and discovering who we really are and how best we can bring it out to the world. There is nothing wrong with looking upto someone you admire, the problem comes in when we judge our progress and outcome with how our mentors had theirs. It is devastating to terribly want to achieve exactly what someone else did and fail. Who knows, you probably were ment to achieve alot more than they did in a different way.
      My true defination of success; it is an every day journey not a destination. Failing four times and eventually getting it right is success. Doing things better with every given opportunity is success. Learning from past mistakes and relaunching a better strategy is success. It starts with knowing exactly what you want in life in all fields ranging from career, health, religion, friendships, relationships, targets, name it. A successful person is all rounded with a stable landing ground in all fields. An unhealthy lifestyle with a fat bank account is'nt success because that lifestyle can cost you your life.
      When you set standards that you want to live by you are on the right path to being successful. I mean realistic standards that are achievable. Failing to plan is planning to fail, totally true because if you don't have a plan you fall for anything that comes your way. Everything offered to you is just fine,no questions, no doubts, nothing. If you ask me that is the first step in living a miserable unfulfilling life. Today challenge yourself to do things your way by your standards. To participate in things that make you better and define the inner you irregardless of what other people expect or want from you. At the end of the day, your inner peace matters most than any other thing and having a peaceful mind is SUCCESS.
       Success is trully an every day journey because the bits of that journey make up the destination. It has to start somewhere.

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS- CAMPUS LESSONS {PART 3/3}

11 years ago, I wanted to become an engineer when I grow up. I did not know exactly what engineering entailed and how I would get there but I knew for me to be one I had to study really hard. Well my dreams were and still are valid. 11 years later as I finish my undergraduate studies I have a very important lesson to take home from one of my lectures, Prof Kiema. He said, it does not matter what you do, what matters is how you do it. You can’t possibly go through an institution for all these years and fail to pick up important lessons to last you a lifetime. My most important life lessons were picked here, my best characters were shaped here as well, be my guest; Campus taught me how to relate to people, those I like and those I don’t. It taught me I don’t have to like someone to respect them; respect is for all, friends and strangers.   I learnt that anything that has a beginning always has an end. Just like finishing campus, all other aspects of life have beginnings...

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS {PART 1/3}

Just like that, it’s over! (Read oveeeeeeeeer!). Honestly it does not feel like five years are gone already. Time sure flies. I still remember how young, fragile and innocent I was when I walked into Stella Awinja hostel for my first year in campus. I would say I was mature and responsible though, I brought myself to campus most people don’t.   Then papa came to check on me later and brought my luggage and I remember him questioning the custodians why I had to share a room with five other ladies yet the forms clearly stated sharing two. Best daddy ever, he cared enough to know where his daughter was going to live. Sharing a room with five other adorable ladies turned out to be the best thing. I made friends that will forever remain my friends both in their presence and absence. The many Luhyia songs and ohangla dances done in that room, sweet old memories. Shout out to Brenda Nanjala, Rhoda Odongo, Sylvia Awori and Merlene Ndolo, I miss and love you lovely ladies. You made my...

The man every woman wants

I am not married, we may say I don't have experience but i definitely know the kind of man every woman wants because I am a woman. Women like feeling special and pampered, it is in us. Those lovely compliments, sincere appreciation and sweet words warm our hearts. Yes we are special for sure hence we deserve to feel equally or more special. When a woman meets that gentleman who makes her feel special than any other person around her, you can be rest assured she will make you feel triple special in return. A woman is like a kid, however learned or experienced she is, she would not resist a good sense of direction. No woman wants to have man who is not concerned any inch about what goes on in her career field/business. We all admire men who make us better in our careers and ambitions. By making her better I mean knowing what goes on in her business, having two or three compliments about it,  practically assisting with ideas and getting things done if need be. Anything supportive ...
