DOG KEEPER WITH A PASSION

By Koech Cheruiyot @Koecheruiyot on twitter.

For some years Cyrus Maina had engaged in timber selling business and was well with it. Then came a mishap, his premise caught fire but he managed to rescue some goods. 

The second instant, an inferno donned in red pain and bitterness of losing a whooping four and a half million shillings changed Maina’s perspective in life. The then affluent bachelor in his late twenties went from affluent to penniless, prompting him to open his eyes.

Dirty, insensitive and scrupulous bosses!

It is 7:50 in the morning and this huge, heavy breathing boss pushes himself in our office. Throws biting glances to the entire marketing staff as if counting us and then barks , “ It’s Friday , what worth of sales have we made this week?”

For about a minute nobody answers. Then a colleague of mine attempts to teach him some manners on how approach people at such early hours of the day. “Morning Boss,” She ducks!

“Morning Sheila,” goes the boss looking not delighted.

Seriously why on earth should somebody, regardless of their positions in the society treat fellow people with such degree of contempt and insensitivity?  As a matter of fact such people like this boss should use their status to remain as icons of admiration and good examples of excellent morals to the society.

A friend of mine told me of a story of another NGO who always scorned her subjects and bossed them around. It is so obvious that if demoralized, employees will not deliver their best at work.

Bosses, you need to style up.    

In another planet?

Just woke up late and the very thing I miss most is a hug! somebody tell me this is the plight of all single men and am not lost.....

• Honest differences are often a healthy sign of progress.
• Honest disagreement is often a good sign of progress.
• I believe in equality for everyone, except reporters and photographers.
• I cannot teach you violence, as I do not myself believe in it. I can only teach you not to bow your heads before even at the cost of your life.
• I object to violence because when it appears to do good, the good is only temporary; the evil it does is permanent.
• In the attitude of silence the soul finds the path in a clearer light, and what is elusive and deceptive resolves itself into crystal clearness. Our life is long and arduous quest after truth.
• Indolence is a delightful but distressing state; we must be doing something to be happy.
• It is better to be violent, if there is violence in our hearts, than to put on the cloak of nonviolence to cover impotence.
• It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err.
• One needs to be slow to form convictions, but once formed they must be defended against the heaviest odds.
• Strength doesn’t come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.
• The weak can never forgive. Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong.
• Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important than you do it.
• When I despair, I remember that all through history the ways of truth and love have always won. There have been tyrants, and murderers, and for a time they can seem invincible, but in the end they always fall. Think of it- always.
• You must be the change you want to see in the world.
• You must not lose faith in humanity. Humanity is an ocean; if a few drops of the ocean are dirty, the ocean doesn’t become dirty.
• What difference does it make to the dead, the orphans and the homeless, whether the mad destruction is wrought under the number of totalitarianism or the holy name of liberty or democracy?
• Victory attained by violence is tantamount to a defeat, for it is momentary.
• An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.
•
