The Mount Kenya Times

By: N. George

Worth Noting:

Any habit is formed through repetition of some actions for a prolonged period. Whatever habit that you think is difficult to you, you can easily internalize it if you decide to practice it. You have what it takes only that you have failed to regularly practice.
Everyone is born with several talents. It is purely upon that person, his parents, teachers, role models or those around him to help him identify and hone his talent. Every talent is important and adequate to support the owner for a living only that it needs to be tailored towards helping accomplish tasks that others require.

The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes.…… Marcel Proust.

In the bible book of Luke chapter 5 it reads one day as Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, the people were crowding around him and listening to the word of God. He saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to put out a little from shore. Then he sat down and taught the people from the boat.

When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into deep water, and let down the nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we’ve worked hard all night and haven’t caught anything. But because you say so, I will let down the nets.”

When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break. So, they signaled their partners in the other boat to come and help them, and they came and filled both boats so full that they began to sink.

This story teaches us that whatever we are in need of is near us only that at times we are blind spiritually so we are unable to see what we are looking for. All we need is to sober up and rethink of what we are doing and how we are doing it eventually we will find the solution.

You must have seen or heard of a person who had held keys in his hand or put them in his pocket then went ahead and started searching for them, even complained that somebody must have picked them only to realise he is the one with them afterwards.

A talk to a guider and counsellor you will generally hear that most of the people who visit them and state the main issues that are worrying them then the counsellor asks them several questions which upon the client being able to answer he or she gets solution to the issues that were disturbing him or her.

This means to troubled person has answers to his or her questions only that he or she is unable to individually address them until someone supports him or her.

In every society there are norms which dictate what is generally accepted by the community as a mode of conduct. These norms usually cater for welfare of the members of the society ensuring that no single member benefit at the expense of the other.

It is not compulsory that you are taught about all these norms. By just use of common sense and caring for your brothers and sisters you will have followed most of these norms unknowingly.

Those people who seem disciplined by strictly following the norms still have their personal weaknesses so you cannot claim that since they are aware of what should be done, they are blame free only that they suppress their weaknesses through concentration with what is good so whenever you see them you easily identify their strengths.

In general, we can say what societal norms try to address is what is within the society both good and bad only that the aim is to regulate. Nothing from outside is being taken care of.

There is a proverb that says charity begins at home but should not end there. This means that you need to work on yourself before you deal with issues of others.

During the peak of covid-19 global pandemic many countries closed their borders but allowed cargo flights only in an attempt to curb the spread of the contagious flu. Countries were forced to look for home made solutions to contain infection and spread of this flu.

To start with face masks were imported in large number only to be made locally thereafter. That is an indicator of how we have answers to our issues only that we face only that need to think deeper about them before seeking for external support.
