THE TASK OF RUNNING KENYA .
LAPTOP FOR MY SON
I am an ardent supporter of the current Government-elect Jubilee and am taking keen interest to the manifesto which is supposed to govern me for the next five years. I have to admit this from the onset or else the post below will bring more critics on my end - which I don’t object later after reading this.
Bold and sweet as it must sound to offer every class one pupil a laptop in Kenya would be outright rape to our current straining economic standings. I am not trying to fault the promises given to a Kenyan by the Jubilee government but my basic calculations should inform a smart Kenyan that the ultimate steps to a strong economy is by reducing the government spending and strive to increase revenue. This is how managers struggle to achieve if am not wrong- corrections invited.
Going by the present figures in our government’s debts; treasury Bills and Bonds (Specifically borrowed from domestic market) are rising by a stunning sh20 billion over the last eight months. This by anyone’s calculation is not good for the Kenyan economy. How will I as the taxpayer fight with this high cost of living and yet manage to pay the interests on top of the 1 trillion payments made from borrowing from the local market alone?
If this is not looked upon with the small wage earner’s eye of progress, then we risk dying of frustrations, hunger and disillusionment while enjoying scenes from episodes of a movie watched with the same gadgets that are giving birth to our problems.
Mine is just an observation and an argument I lay bare to display my simple understanding of the facts and figures. I say these words with a welcome to any correction from anyone who might have a detailed idea of how this will be done without compromising my very standard of living which is already pathetic.

MISS YOU TONIGHT - by Githinji Mwaniki
Miss you tonight!
Why do I miss your touch
tonight?
Yet my eyes wouldn’t
survive your sight
Because the care for
another soul had a bite
I see you in the swirls
of the wind
And the first kiss of
thoughts to my mind
Beneath every promise I
care to make
I count all the hurt I
had to take
But the cries of my
regrets, and the ache
From my laughter I try
to mate
What we both thought a
hill for me,
deep like the darkness
before sunshine
cleared like dust in
touch with a water drop
I thought I would die
the moment you left
But the knowledge that
the light was gone
Made my urge to sleep
strong as a bone
I got over you with that
reverse step
And the slamming of that door did
There is no hope of doing perfect research (griffiths, 1998, p97). Do you agree?
There is no hope of doing perfect research
I
agree with the subject statement that ‘there is no hope for perfect research’
because we live in an age that perfect research as I understand it remains just
an inference made by the concerned researcher. On the onset; research means the
systematic investigation into and study of materials and sources in order to
establish facts and reach new conclusions. The word perfect means having all
the required elements, qualities or characteristics. We have been put to test
before in many ways during our existence and inevitably every one of us can
agree with me that no two findings are the same, no two persons are the same
and no two inferences are the same.
“No two gardens are the same.
No two days are the same in one garden”- is a famous quote by the writer Hugh
Johnson [Thomas, 1985, p115]. No two people express the same opinion and
thoughts. As these vary, their ideas and
thoughts on perceiving things vary. Research work eventually results in a
conclusion by a person on a particular concept and no two researchers conclude
the same thing.
I will use two of my dear and
research work used to teach me in class in my school days which I was made to
believe are gospel truth only to be continually faulted by the present
Mwaniki 2
findings which use well to do technology, equipment and
experiments all together. This will be the famous Newton’s Third law of motion
and the Pakistan green revolution.
At the time of green revolution in Pakistan chemical
fertilizers and insecticides were encouraged among the farmers in various ways
based on a continuous series of experiments on productivity of the cereal
crops. Subsequent to some years, the properties of soil and the environment
were influenced faultily due to application of such chemicals at farmers’ level
on the field. Currently, the community of researchers is advocating restricting
application of such chemicals on the field and advising the farmers to return
back to organic farming. This clearly explains that just because some
well-meaning researcher advised on their use and it brought good results at the
time doesn’t mean it was perfect because time has effectively made it imperfect
now.
Another
good example is the Big Bang Theory. I am well versed with it. I am also one of
the poor victims who sat in a class room with boring lectures on it. Big Bang
theory was the one that I studied in my secondary Physics class in a chapter by
name, “Universe”. The Big Bang theory is one of the widely accepted theories
that explain about the origin of our universe. According to Big Bang theory,
the universe has emerged out of nothing [Karen C. Fox, 2002]. The Big Bang
theory has proven that there is an origin for this universe and, before that
origin, there existed nothing. Many astronomers, after making exhaustive research
work have concluded the same. All of us believe in this concept, till now.
However, in the recent years, many researches are formulating hypothesis that
stand against this widely accepted Big Bang Theory. According to Big Bang, the
universe has originated 13.7 million years ago. The recent researches
Mwaniki 3
by
scientists have identified stars in the universe whose ages have been
approximated to be older than 13.7 million years [NOAO, Website].
Another research work made by the scientist Roger A Rydin, claims that the
general relativity based model proposed by Albert Einstein, which Big Bang took
as a foundation for predicting the history of universe itself was wrong[Roger
A, 2007]. This shows that the prediction made by Big Bang theory do not
hold true. The controversies on Big Bang theory are still continuing and will
continue forever. How well then to illustrate how not possible perfect research
is?
With these
two examples among many like the now infamous Newton’s ‘Third Law of Motion’,
are a worth prove that ; There is no hope for perfect research as Griffiths
had stated.

Concepts of a Big Dream - Internet marketing
Concepts of a Big Dream
We all have our big dreams and the big urge to make
them come true. Today I am going to share one of the most lessons I have had to
listen to in my big chase. The world today as we all know is being driven principally
by the online world. This is the new well for big monies and dreams realization
as the global concept is converging into a small global village.
Without further details I will get into these
details and hope they will be of great help to you and anyone you may wish to
share with.
Big people and companies have three things they use
to tap into their success and these are
what drives their big profits and assets:-
LEVERAGE
These people take advantage of peoples time, efforts
and money to build a massive man work hours to leverage decades of efforts by
few people or one. Taking an example of a company owned by one person, and
employs 2,000 people working for 8 hours a day each.
Mathematically, in one day of eight hours the
workers are able to convert up to 1600 hours. This is equivalent to 667 days of
24 hours. Thus in one day the owner is working for approximately 2 years using
other people’s time leverage.
2000 workers * 8 hours = 16000hours
= 667
days
= 2
years
Doing the math in your head you will know that that
a very lucrative endevour for any human being.
SYSTEM
These person is able to build up a system that can
guarantee that money gets into the system whether he is working or not. He gets
his passive income into the system without lifting a finger. To explain this we
use safaricom in Kenya. The system that
involves dealers, agents and sub agents ensures that money is getting into the
system without safaricom having to be solely involved in the sales or any
marketing whatsoever.
A good example for this is the *141*01234……..# You continually use that to get money into the system.
the systems are simple, duplicable and of great brand yet it brings massive
passive income.
TEAM
/ NETWORK
This involves building a big team networked all over
the region such that a product, idea or a piece of information gets to all
people so easily and so fast that no time, money or power is lost from the mother
company.
These are methods used by the big people to get to
their dreams. One of the new companies employing this same formula is MFB. This
is an Internet Marketing Company which gives you the opportunity to join and
help it build its network as you build your own too and earn money from your
network.
It was introduced in Kenya this year January and its
spreading like bush fire to all those with great interest of building their own
networks while still earning at home, in school or still working in your main
job. This is purely genuine and only requires you to work even for one hour a
day or more.
To those who will try to tell you that it’s similar
to a pyramid scheme; you only need to look up on the website and see the
various products they
are giving you after you sign up. This products are free to use, sell or even
reproduce to anyone thus MFB does not only give you a job opportunity but also
resources to earn money from on your own.
These products are inclusive of :-
1) Computer Training Videos
2) Downloadable Digital Library
3) MLM Academy (Network Marketing)
4) Lead Capture Pages & Website Templates
5) Digital Diary – Appointments Reminder
6) Advertising (Banners & Text Ads)
7) Domains & Hosting Manager
