The Stock Market simply illustrated ... there is a lesson here
Related to country: Kenya
About the book: "Agricultural Plants"

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Got these form a friend! Thanks Jonathan!

"Once upon a time, in a village a man appeared who announced to the
villagers that he would buy monkeys for $10. The villagers seeing that
there were many monkeys went out in the forest and started catching
them.

The man bought thousands at $10 and as supply started to diminish and
villagers started to stop their effort he announced that now he would
buy at $20. This renewed the efforts of the villagers and they started

Catching monkeys again. Soon the supply diminished even further and
people started going back to their farms.

The offer rate increased to $25 and the supply of monkeys became so
scarce that it was an effort to even see a monkey let alone catch it.

The man now announced that he would buy monkeys at $50! However, since
he had to go to the city on some business his assistant would now buy
on behalf of the man.

In the absence of the man, the assistant told the villagers. "Look at
all these monkeys in the big cage that the man has collected. I will
sell them to you at $35 and when the man comes back, you can sell it
to him for $50."

The villager squeezed up with all their savings to buy the monkeys.

Then they never saw the man nor his assistant, only monkeys everywhere!!!!"

MOTHER A TRULLY BEAUTIFUL PIECE.........................
About this event: Training for Organizations
Related to country: Kenya
About the book: "Land Without Thunder"

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic


For those who are still be blessed with your Mom,
this is beautiful. For those of us who aren't, this is
even more beautiful. For those who are moms, you'll love this.

There is Great Potential in Your Example as a Mother.

The young mother set her foot on the path of life. 'Is
this the long way?' she asked. And the guide said: 'Yes, and the way is
hard
And you will be old before you reach the end of it.. But
the end will be better than the beginning.'

But the young mother was happy, and she would not
believe that anything could be better than these years. So she
played with her children, and gathered flowers for
them along the way, and bathed them in the clear streams; and
the sun shone on them, and the young Mother cried,
'Nothing will ever be lovelier than this.'

Then the night came, and the storm, and the path was
dark, and the children shook with fear and cold, and the mother
drew them close and covered them with her mantle, and the children
said,
'Mother, we are not afraid, for you are near, and no harm can
come.'

And the morning came, and there was a hill ahead, and
the children climbed and grew weary, and the mother was weary.
But at all times she said to the children,' A little patience and we
are there.'
So the children climbed, and when they reached the top
they said, 'Mother, we would not have done it without you.'

And the mother, when she lay down at night, looked up
at the stars and said, 'This is a better day than the last, for
my
children have learned fortitude in the face of hardness.

Yesterday I gave them courage. Today, I've given them strength.'

And the next day came strange clouds which darkened
the earth, clouds of war and hate and evil, and the children
groped
and stumbled, and the mother said: 'Look up. Lift your eyes to the
light.
And the children looked and saw above the clouds of
an everlasting glory, and it guided them beyond the
darkness. And that night the Mother said,
'This is the best day of all, for
I have shown my children God.'

And the days went on, and the weeks and the months and
the years, and the mother grew old and she was little and bent.
But her children were tall and strong, and walked with
courage. And when the way was rough, they lifted her,
for she was as light as a feather; and at last they came to a
hill,
and beyond they could see a shining road and golden gates flung
wide. And
mother said, 'I have reached the end of my journey. And now I know
the end
is better than the beginning, for my children can
walk alone, and their children after them.'

And the children said, 'You will always walk with us,
Mother,

even when you have gone through the gates.'
And they stood and watched her as she went on alone, and the
gates
closed after her. And they said: 'We cannot see her
but she is with us still. A Mother like ours is more than a
memory.

She is a living presence.......'

Your Mother is always with you.... She's the whisper
of the leaves as you walk down the street; she's the smell of
bleach
in your freshly laundered socks; she's the cool hand
on your brow when you're not well. Your Mother lives
inside your laughter. And she's crystallized in every tear
drop.
She's the place you came from, your first home; and
she's the map you follow with every step you take. She's your first
love
and your first heartbreak, and nothing on earth can separate
you.

Not time, not space... not even death!

JAMANI WENZANGU???
Related to country: Kenya

Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Siku iliyopita niliwaza na kuwazua juu ya walioathirika na kupoteza makao yao walivyojipata katika janga hili la ufukura usiooleweka hadi sasa! Mawazo haya yote yalinijia nikiwa nikishiriki misa kaninsani, na si ya kuwa misa hiyo ilikuwa si ya kufana la hasha, lakini mambo niliyoshuhudia yalinifanya kushikwa na ghababu kuu sana!
Tulipofika kanisani misa ilikuwa ishaanza na kwa hivyo hatukuwa na budi kujitetea kwa kwenda kujaribu kumshawishi mwalimu wa dini kutupa benchi moja ili tuweze kuitumia humo kanisani. Pengine bahati yetu kwasababu tuliweza kuwapata Vijana wavulana wawili waliotusaidia kubeba benchi ile. Mara tulipofika kanisani, kundi kubwa la watu lilivamia benchi hiyo na kukaa ikabidi mmoja wa Vijana hao kukosa hata nafasi ya kuweza kujisitiri! Lahaula, waliosema usistaajabu ya musa ya firauni hujayaona kweli alinena. Nilibaki mdomo wazi kwa vile sikuweza kufikiri ya kuwa jambo kama hilo lingeliweza kutendeka katika hadhara na kwa kusitiza hii iliyo na wakristo wanaomcha Mungu! Nilifunzwa tangu utotoni kumpa mtu yeyote haki yake na moja ya haki hizi kulingana name ni kumpa nafasi mtu aliyebeba benchi hiyo nafasi ya kwanza na ilkiwa itakuwa ipo bado basi wengine nao wafuate kuanzia wakubwazo!

Nilishangaa na kwa kuwa sikutaka kuonekana kuwa alipigwa na butwaa, mawazo mengi sana yalinijia na nikaweza kulinganisha yaliyotendeka na vile wahasiriwa waliopoteza makao yao yalivyonijia!

Jamani wenzangu twaweza kuishi maisha yasiokuwa na kuwanyang’anya wenzetu yaliyo yao ya haki??
