Worth Noting:
- Celebrated up to today Argentine football legend Diego Maradona scored the winning goal for his country in 1986 helping them win their first world cup trophy. Unlike today there was no video assistant referees (VAR) so despite him secretly handing the ball into the net there was no proof that he did not head it in and the goal was awarded in what he later on came to name as the hand of god.
- Looking at the bigger picture of this you will see dedication of the player to win a medal for his country no matter what it takes him. His success is notable and celebrated even during his death.
When you work to please others you can’t succeed, but the things you do to satisfy yourself stand a chance of catching someone’s interest ……….Marcel Proust.
It is common phenomena to see children behave like their parents in both the positive and negative things that a parent does. This is not only due to genetic factor or being intentionally trained by the parent but due to the kid envying what the parents are doing and wishing to imitate them bearing in mind that a kid learns more by observing what is being done than what he or she is told to do.
Woe unto those parents who drink wine and preach water if their kids see them succeed they too will think that it is the norm and would not hesitate from practicing the same even with more zeal than that of their parents. They will apply these standards even when dealing with the parents hence the later having control over them will be tricky.
In a country like Kenya many evergreen songs sang decades ago famously known as zilizopendwa were composed during the period when music was treated as a career. Majority of composers did it out of passion as money motive was out of question as music was done as fun.
The mission which started as a simple one has grown and many fans wish to hear more songs from these composers owing to the rich message in them in fact, when YouTube became famous interested groups searched for some of these composers or their relatives and friends for the ones who has passed on to get more information of how they lived and what inspired them to write then sing.

At school all teachers get paid for services rendered but no money can be said to be enough to these teachers as their profession requires one to have a calling rather than do it for commercial gains. Some teachers go an extra mile in supporting the students succeed and some of these students remain ever grateful to them.
As a teacher it is difficult to know which student will be willing to thank you for the effort you have put. Talking to many of these teachers you can hear them mention of their former students who acknowledge how impactful the teacher advices have been to their lives including some training and joining the teaching fraternity just to be like their teacher.
In 2002 during the presidential campaigns one of the candidates Mwai Kibaki promised electorates that if successful his government would ensure every child will enroll in basic school. Despite the budget by previous administration not having such an ambitious project it he captured the seat and his proposal came into fruition and has continued being a success up to date.
The stakeholders involved took his vision in a serious manner and strived to see it succeed. It was a good plan whose beneficiaries have good stories to tell.
In the current Kenyan parliament we have a number of former workers at media houses who years ago as they were going on with their work noted a huge influx of people seeking their support. Since their inflows were not adequate to finance all the needs for all those who required them they saw it wise to run for public offices so that at a higher platform they can address issues affect the society and surely they succeeded. When you intend to do good many avenues of channeling this goodness arise.
What you are naturally talented in do it to your level best. Through it you will enjoy creativity. It is not all times that you are instantly recognized but over time there are people who will come to appreciate your work.
