Lying little me!

Sometimes we lie to to save ourselves and prevent condemnation and critism. I once lied about something that made me guilty for quite sometime. Not that I could be punished or anything but I just feared the consequences. I can lie at that particular time but I'll eventually tell the truth. Up to now, I've never said anything about it but I'm planning on it very soon. It was way back at home when I was chasing a little chicken in our compound. The little chicken had strayed outside and I wanted inside it's little house. I had a stick in hand and I was trying very hard for it to get inside. But the chicken had other plans. I ran round in circles but I couldn't catch it. As time went by, I was getting tired.As I was about to grab it, it ran again. I happened to stab it with the stick. The chicken fell and begun doing something with it's wings. It began flapping it's wings. I didn't know what was wrong with it. After sometime, the chicken died and I ...

True Beauty

Beauty captures the eye but good manners capture the heart. Most young men, prefer beauty to good behaviors. Some even say that they'll tame those behaviors to ensure that they are properly behaved. They say that as long a as they are beautiful, the rest is good. There are those girls who hate themselves thinking that they are ugly and nobody can love them. It's true sometimes, but I believe nobody is ugly. Everyone is beautiful in his or her own way. She might be going through denial and stress herself thinking that no one loves her. But there's no need to stress oneself because of such circumstances. I believe that everyone has a person who is meant to spend the rest of their lives with. Although this may not happen always. While a girl is thinking that she's not loved, there's a man somewhere who's in head over heels in love with her. It doesn't matter how you are, or how you look like, someone somewhere loves you, just the way you are. Love yours...

Early marriages and Dependency

When I talk about early marriages, believe me it's getting married at an early age. Some get married as early as they are 16 years old. Dependency on the other hand is depending on a person to support you in everything you do. This happens when these young girls get married at an early age. Early marriages can be voluntary and involuntary at times. Some choose to get married because of lack of another option. Some reasons that can make little girls get married early is because of ; ✔Losing hope A young person has dreams and visitors he or she wants to fulfill in life. If maybe the person wants to go to school to further their education and it's not possible, they give up. They end up choosing marriage as the only option. ✔ When there's no other option left. It's not always possible to get what you want everytime. Things can go on wrong and go the way you didn't expect them to. ✔ Early pregnancies This is the most that affects our young girls. Boys and Girls...

DILEMMA

Dilemma is being in a situation whereby you are in two complicated situations. In most cases, these situations are important and they need your attention. At the end of the day, you'll have to make a choice between two issues. Being in a dilemma is very tempting and stressing also. You cannot decide which to go for first without making a mistake. But the fact is that, •At the end of the day, you'll have to make a choice. ✔You have to choose wisely. If not, it may affect your life. ✔If you make the wrong choic e, it might affect your work and maybe your future. Before making any decisions, weigh between them. Choose the one which is of more importance than the others.

LIVE IN THE PRESENT.

The present is not the past and it is not the future. The present is the present moment. The pres ent is right now. You might have had difficulties in your work and you're Stressed by your work. As an empl oyee, you might not enjoy your life and work as much as you used to. When you're fully engaged in what you are doing, your mind doesn't wander. You enjoy life. And you're happier and more effec tive. You are intent only on what is happening at that moment, that focus and concentr ation leads to success. Do not dwell in the past. If you made a mistake in the past, learn from it and just move on. People tend to concentrate so much on what happened in the past, that they refuse to let it go. Only when you let it go, that's only when you'll progress. I know it's hard to forget the past if you haven't learned from it. As soon as you learn and let go, you improve yourself and you make yourself better. Even in the most difficult situations, when you...

And when we get together Don't let the pictures leave your phone. Live while we're young!

Health and fitness.

In order to have a normal life, we must eat a balanced diet and exercise. Exercise is what's needed to be healthy and live a happy life. If you only eat and do not exercise, you'll become obese and you'll begin hating yourself. There some kids who are obese. Though I think it's a disease from eating too much. These heavy kids are bullied throughout their school life. No one wishes to be fat or to be called "Fatty" We all have that name. But what can we do to prevent it? **Eat little food. Do not eat like you won't eat later. In the eve ning, eat little food because the body is not active at night. Dinner should be taken between 6.30 and 7.00pm. After that, make sure you don't eat too much. Also carboh ydrates which are body building, should not be eaten at night. Starchy foods are meant to build the body. It's only needed in the morning, when pe ople will with hard during the day. Brea kfast is the most important meal of the day. It is wh...

BETRAYAL.

It's breaking a person's trust and confidence. You can trust someone with all your heart only to betray you later. Betrayal is something no one wishes for at all. You cannot tell anyone not to betray you. Well, you can tell them but when they do betray you, you can do nothing. Maybe taking some revenge which is a way of getting even with the other person. Having a traitor in your business is the worst. That person will let your secrets out to the competitors. Before you realise what's happening, worse has been done in a short period of time. Your business will fall a few steps behind and will take a lot of hard work to put it right where it was. In matters of love, I think it's the worst of all. When you've loved someone with all your heart but then again, the person doesn't feel the same about you. Or even worse, cheats on you. I'd never want to go through such a thing which surely must be heartbreaking. It's better If someone tries to detect i...

How a student can be successful

For you to succeed in education, you must have some the necessary items to succeed. There are some tips that a student can use : ✔Set realistic goals Set achievable and measurable goals. Don't overwhelm yourself with unrealistic goals but always plan for something that can be achieved. ✔Maintain good attenda nce Always make sure you attend your classes on time. Refrain from abseentism. Abseentism causes a student to miss out on something. ✔ Be organised Know when you're supposed to meet your deadlines so that you can organise your time properly. Do assignments on time. ✔Take and review notes Notes taken in class should be well taken care of and reviewed everytime. They are the most important weapon for every student. ✔Use school resources Some students tend to ignore the school resources and attend classes only. Every student should use well the resources available at school. ✔Develop a regular study time Always plan your time of ...

Opportunity comes once

Have you ever heard of this saying that "opportunities come once in a lifetime?" Well, I guess it's true. If you want to do something, it's best if you do it right there and then. Once you get out of there, you might not get another opportunity to do it. If you're called in for an interview, do not delay, because if you do, you might find that opportunity was given to someone else. Opportunities rarely comes twice. If they do, then you must be really lucky. Grab an opportunity as soon as it comes and don't let it go. Some people ask why they don't get such opportunities, and they would do anything to get them. If for example a student gets a scholarship to study further, grab that opportunity. There might be others who have been waiting for the same thing and when it finally comes, they take it without second thought. That's what I'm talking about. Take any chance given because it might never come again!

Building your self esteem.

Self esteem is the self respect that every one of us possesses. Some can have high self esteem, while others have low. One can choose to have any of those esteems. Having a high self esteem, one is so confident all the time. One can build a self esteem and he or she will determine whether it'll be high or low. Low self esteem has one doing the following : **Low or no confidence at all **Shying off. **Staying in solitice. People with low self esteem live a hard life. Many are the times that they cannot express themselves properly. Many things pass them and it's because they fear the outcome. One of the ways to build one's self esteem is by trying to be confident. Talking to other people can also help in a great way. Talking to yourself in the mirror can also be of help. You should not fear anybody because we are all human beings.

POVERTY

Poverty is a condition of not being able to sustain yourself That is with the basic needs. Poverty-stricken people lack the necessities. These are the people the government should look out for. Being in this state, they cannot help themselves in any way. Although some try to uplift their status, they find they cannot. No one wishes to be poor in any way but some contribute to it. Poverty can be caused by the following : *unemployment *Ignorance. This occurs when a person gets a job but he or she misuses her position. You can recommend a Job to this person, but he or she don't want that. He just wants to relax at home. *Laziness. Poverty causes even a person who graduated at the University, look like a person who never even went to school. The effects of Poverty •Poor living standards. •High crime rate. Poverty leads to crime in the society. These people must eat, pay rent and clothe themse lves. Stealing to sustain themselves becomes the only option. Poverty ...

SOLITUDE

Solitude is being lonely or feeling lonely and unloved. Solitude is really something no one wishes for but some may wish for it. People may choose to live in solitice due to what is going on around them. This may be problems they're experiencing or they feel unloved by the ones closest to them. Solitude may be caused by : , • Feeling unloved. •Due to stress •Problems in your life. Stressed pe ople may choose not to associate themsel ves with anyone and instead, stay by themselves. Some think that their pro blems cannot be solved by anyone and so they don't talk about them. Solitude is not a good sig n. Anybody with such signs of solitude should be talked to imm ediately. If anybody is so lonely and doesn't have friends, they are often sad and they are always Stressed. They might say that they are in their own little world, but in reali ty, they are dying inside. What people can do to save their relatives from solitude is by may be talking to them. •S...

How fast time goes (Utilising your time)

Time may run so fast and you're left asking yourself how? This however should not be the case. People should learn to manage their time well. Many people rush doing things at the last minute which they'll probably do it wrongly. The rush isn't a good thing as it will only complicate things further. Manage your time properly and everything will be done correctly. Time is a major issue in managing. If you manage your time well, things will go right for you. Some people tend to do their work at the last minute. They use this proverb that says " The last minute can save a man" They misinterprate the saying because that last minute doesn't save all of them. Some do not even finish their task and they just fail in their businesses. The importance of utilising your time well is; •You'll have enough time to revise /go through your work. •Time management makes us responsible. •It proves that you can meet deadlines. It's very impo rtant to manage our ...

HONESTY

Honesty is telling the truth at all times. Telling the truth relieves a person and a burden is lifted off their shoulders. Being honest, is what is right. Some situations however may require one to lie. It's not wise to lie no matter the situation. It could be necessary and to save ourselves but it shouldn't be the case. In the Bible, Jesus said that the truth will set us free. Sometimes it may not be possible. We all fear that if we tell the truth, we'll be condemned and no one will understand. That could be true. I'd suggest we tell the truth at all times, no matter the consequences. Just accept that you made a mistake and tell the truth. Most people, but not all, will understand and let it go.

Unemployment

Unemployment is a state of being jobless. This is what everyone tries to avoid at all costs. Some may or not succeed. Some people entirely depend on being self employed. They believe they can make lots of money if they employ themselves. However, there are unlucky ones who don't even find a job to sustain themselves. There some types of unemployment which include : •Seasonal unemployment which is caused by the variation of seasons which affects the economic act ivity. For example, the agri cultural sector and tourism. There's a season whereby tourists visit the country at a higher rate than usual. At these times, people find some emplo yment. In the agri cultural sector, when the people harvest, farmers and other laborers have some manual work to do. When the harvesting, planting seasons are gone, there's no work anymore. •Technological unemplo yment which is caused by technological advancement. The introduction of modern technologies have led to workers being retr...

Be aware for there is changes in life (POEM )

I recall very well, The life we used to live We used to live happily together with my parents Everything I wished for, was provided with By that time, I was still young Mother, father be aware, for there is changes in life. As time goes by Day by day Changes started coming into our home My father changed and became a "DDO" Daily drinking officer. coming home late, taking alcohol and sleeping out. Father, mother, be aware, for there is changes in life. As time went by, I was chased out of school because of school fees Food and clothing was a problem to us.

Here comes a good samaritan, She pays my school fees and provides me with food. I have a vision and a mission for me, and my family Father, mother, be aware for there is changes in life. THANK YOU.

YOLO

You live only once { YOLO} is a term every youth uses. We all say that you only live once and not twice. You should enjoy yourself while you have the time because you don't know your tomorrow. It's good to have some fun sometimes but you should do it moderately. Some overdo it. Partying all night and drinking yourself silly is indeed overdoing it. I live my day as if it was the last, live my day as if there was no past. People should not be so workaholic and not have fun sometimes. Everyone needs a break to go partying, shopping and hanging out with friends. Hanging out with friends is the best way to relieve your stress if you got any. But just working, working and working won't help you at all. You need to get out and PARTY!! So everybody it's YOLO.

Dilemma

In many cases, these two things are of importance but in the end, one have to choose between one.  Dilemma is a bad feeling and can cause stress at times if not decided early.  Normally, young people find themselves in dilemmas which they aren't able to make their decisions.  early.  For example, if a girl tells you that you have to do something for her or else the relationship will be over, the boy gets Stressed. He might not know how to choose wisely.  Some of the dilemmas may cause stress because of; You have to choose at least something.  What you choose might determine your future.  If you make a wrong decision, it might cost your life, which is a bad thing.  You need a good advice in order to m make a reasonable decision.  No matter how hard it might be, you'll have to make a choice at the end of the day. After all, dilemmas are part of life. 

YOUTH EMPOWERMENT

Nowadays, young people are complaining that there are no job opportunities. Young people can venture into income generating businesses which will help them in their lives. Some of the youths don't want to engage in manual labor and they only want white collar jobs. It's time they learn that, there's no such things. Everyone has to work hard in order to sustain themselves. One must have the qualifications needed in order to get those white collar jobs. Manual labor include ; * *Establishing their own businesses. **Starting even if it's small business for example; •Selling sweets in the streets. • Taking up other shifts maybe working late at night. Young people should learn to use their own efforts instead of using others' energy. Young people should also join trade union s. They should also engage in self help groups. This will help them in organising their lives and it will empower them. They can use the money to expand their busin esses. Young adults...

Careful girls!

Girls should be very careful when they're with the ones they think love them. Just because a boy says I love you, doesn't mean it's true. And just because he showers you with money, fake love doesn't mean anything. Girls love their men naturally an they love deeply and unconditionally. Some advice to such girls is not to love so deeply. There's a girl Belinda Kelvin, who thought a guy by the name Troy loved her only to be surprised later that the guy didn't love her sincerely. Her Friend Alice constantly warned her against that relationship but she didn't succeed. It's not that she was jealous or anything, but Alice tried to prevent her Friend from a heartbreak.

WHERE DO WRITERS GET THEIR IDEAS FROM.

Some people wonder where writers get their ideas from. Writers have so many sources where they can generate their ideas from. A slight something can be a source of idea. Authors get their ideas from ; **Their own life experience : Something might have ha ppened to an auth or and he or she can have an idea to write from. **In the movies. Writers can also get their ideas from movies they watched long ago and even recently. They do not copy the exact story but they come up with their own stories and writes them. **Daily happenings in the society. Authors observe what's happe ning around them and from there they get a good story to write. An author observes, about maybe something going on in the society which maybe, it's not right and then a story comes out of it. Writers are very sharp minded. They don't let an idea slip out of their fingers. Instead they write it down. When an idea pops up in the head, an author quickly writes it down. There are lot of categories ...

EVERYONE DESERVES A CHANCE .

You might have committed grave mistakes in the past and you think everyone hates you for that. Everyone commits mistakes and no one is perfect. We all have made mistakes in the past. That very mistake makes us feel unwanted and we think that no one loves us. No matter the mistakes of the past, everybody deserves a chance to prove himself or herself. In school, students fail their exams, and it's not because they're stupid, it's just because they made a slight mistake which made them fall off. The student must have had his own reasons for failing. Teachers and parents should hear them out in order to find out what went wrong. At home, parents are expected to support their kids even if they fail their exams. They should sit down with their children and find out what happened. They should try and find a solution so that the kid will perform well in the next coming exam. A parent should never criticise their kid telling him or her that he can never make it in life. Tha...

CHANGE

They say a change is as good as a rest. People change due to some unavoidable circumstances which is a must. Change is a slight difference from what you used to do before. A change can be in form of maybe changing for the best or some people change for the worst. People in a relationship, if in case they break up, that can also be a change. If you change your career, that is change too. Doing something differently is what is referred to as a change. It's only natural that people will want to change to explore other new things. There some reasons which people may want to change. *Need to try out new things *sometimes being the same you is tiring sometimes and a change n o will do. *Changing can be lead to new ideas. *Change can also serve as a good purpose of knowing yourself well. *Change is also necessary sometimes. *people change for the sake of others. *Some people can make you change maybe in a good or a bad way. FEAR OF CHANGE People fear to change because maybe...

Humbleness

A humble person lowers himself or herself to the level of others. He or she does not try to behave higher than the others because of his status. Being humble to people is very important. There are very rich people, who have higher ranks than the others yet they humble themselves. Most young people have a tendecy of not being humble because maybe they feel not like it. Every person should respect any person who is older than you. Everyone should act like the others and it doesn't matter whether rich or poor.

Revenge is not the answer.

There are times when we feel that if you don't revenge, you'll not live peacefully. Revenge is getting even with a person. There some people who love revenge so much and that every single wrong thing must be revenged. A vengeful person can be dangerous at times. You don't know what he or she is planning to do to you. Revenging will not solve anything, it will only increase problems. If someone plans a revenge and kills someone, he will be arrested and spend the rest of his life in jail. That revenge has only increased problems and not otherwise. You can revenge because of *Something that happened in the past between two people. *Not forgiving. You should forgive and forget rather than living in the past which will only hurt you. There some people who cannot back down from a fight. They must revenge of no matter how little the issue is. When others get revenge, they are not satisfied in the heart. On the contrary, they feel bad and guilty with themselves. It's...

Money cannot buy happiness.

You can be a billionaire but you aren't happy. You can have lots of money lying in the bank but in the heart you're very sad. Happiness is the feeling of being joyful and feeling at peace all the time. When you're happy, everything else is good. Everyone loves to have money. They say money speaks and it is every thing. It is true you need money to do every thing like eating, paying school fees, paying your bills, travelling and doing other stuffs, you must have money. No one loves not to have some money in the pocket but it's not always about money. Nowadays, women say that, they cannot marry a person without money. They say love is not impo rtant, as long as the person has money. In most cases, those women are trapped in a loveless marriage and they do regret it later. The husband can provide you with all the money you need, but what about love? Other women are even abused by their husbands. I don't know if it's revenge or what, but they don't have a...

DON'T WASTE HER TIME!

If you know you don't love her, then why do you have to waste her time? This is insanity of the highest order because how can one say that he loves time but in reality he doesn't. This occurs mostly to boys. They have this strange behavior of telling a girl of his undying and unconditional love for her, only later to tell her that he didn't love her sincerely. I'd rather you tell me the truth, than to waste my precious time. I'm sure I could use that time to do other valuable things. It's very bad to make someone believe that you love them and it's only a lie. You just want something in return and then you'll declare it over and done with. Girls give all their heart to their men and love deeply. So it's not right to break a girl's heart. It's better if you are straightforward and tell her that you don't love her rather than wasting her time. If y ou realise that you don't love her, just end things than giving her false hopes ...

Take good care of your kids.

It is very sad to see a parent doing some very bad things to their kids. A child has the right to education, and have all the basic needs. Some of the rights include : *Right to education Right to shelter *Right to clothing. It is very important for a parent to provide his or her child the basic needs which will enable him or her grow up without problems. Each parent should provide a conducive environment for his or her kids. This is meant to help the kid grow up well. Parents, in no circumstances, should they forbid their kids from socialising with the others. Or worse, telling them not to go outside their gate. You shouldn't be so overprotective of your child such that you become paranoid. Each child should have a freedom to have a say in what they want. But if it will harm him or her, the parent have a right to say no. Some parents dont give their kids a life they deserve and its not because they are not able to but its just ignorance. They always think that by letti...

EUPHEMISM

Euphemism is using other better words than the usual words. It's just a replacement for the usual ones used by the others. Rather than saying, I need to pee, one can say :I need to answer the call of nature. Euphemism is a nice way of expressing oneself without using some words which will not come out corre ctly. A girl I know o f, told a man that she needed to powder her nose. The man just looked at her nose and said it looked just fine and he couldn't note any problem with it. The girl told him that she didn't mean to powder her nose literally. It simply meant she wanted to use the toilet! Could you have guessed that? I guess not. The importance of using euphemism is so vast to all of us. *some words don't seem right when saying them. . A need for using it is rising because you just can't go on saying some unmentionable words. . Although these words are grammatically correct, you still feel a little bit embarrassed saying them. I use euph emism all th...

ETIQUETTE

Some may think that having some etiquette is a waste of time. Etiquette is having good manners all the time. A person with etiquette is always polite all the time and is always on the good side. Well, not always but most of the times. To some people, etiquette occurs automatically because they're used to it or because they grew up knowing that it's good to have some etiquette. Some of the etiquette that every person should have is ; *Should always say the word Sorry *Thank you should be in his or her own vocabulary. *Excuse me. *May I? *Please Those words among others should be in everybody's vocabulary, everyday. While others think it's a waste of time, others know it's necessary to have etiquette. Young people should learn the value of having etiquette everytime. Some are ever apologetic, such that even if they are wronged, they still say sorry. For example, if someone steps on their shoes. Some argue and say that, it's actually a waste of time. Th...

About me

My name is Cate Mungai. I'm 20 years old and there's a lot, people dont know about me. First of all, I love writing so much. I really feel relaxed while writing and it makes me happy. Its my passion and talent. Writing is what I enjoy doing and also I love reading novels a lot.

It's not all about money but if you've got passion for anything, I'd advice you to follow it to the end. I love doing what I think is right, but sometimes, I fail. Instead, I end up doing...

Procrastination is the thief of time.

Procrastination is postponing something saying that you'll do it later. Postponing things is a very bad habit because every time you postpone something, you just waste time. It's better to do some thing once and for all without any delays. Procrastination is some thing we all do all the time. When they say procra stination is the thief of time, they are very correct beca use ; *Every time you postpone doing something, you only waste more time. *What you should have done by now, you do it another time and you haven't even finished the other task, which only piles tasks u p. *In many cases, people who procrasti nate, are poor time managers. *Oftenly, those who procrastinate end up not finishing the task required of them. Young people in school always procrastinate. Each time they have an assignment, most of them postpone saying ; There's a lot of time still. Or I'll do it later. This however should not be the case because they only end up wasting time and ...

Appreciating one's talent

I believe that everyone in this planet has a talent. A talent is something that one can do best and what they enjoy most. When a kid is growing up, a parent should identify what he or she loves most. If a child loves something very much and does it all the time, that's the talents. Some of the ways a parent can identify a child's talent is by : 1.If a child loves something much more than the others 2.If a kid does something all the time. 3.If whenever a child does something, he or she enjoys it so much. 4.If a child is comfortable doing som ething. A parent should provide all the support a child needs in every possible way. A way of identifying a writer child is by ; The child likes to read a lot. The kid reads all the time and also reads all kinds of books. Even if a book may be found boring by others, the kid will find it very interesting. Any parent should never criticise a child's talent. In many cases, that talent becomes the career of the kid. Some parent...

Careful girls!

Girls might think that just because a boy says 'I love you', he actually means it. Personally, I don't believe such things. Some are even so silly, they see a girl and they start telling them that they like them a lot. And they have just met just a few seconds ago. I usually wonder how  they like a girl so suddenly. Girls need to be very careful when they are with the ones they thin loves them.All the time, a girl will say, I trust him and he wouldn't do anything to hurt me. Ha! Trust my foot! Girls should be very careful with what they say, because they'll get surprised in the end. I know of a girl by the name Belinda, who thought a boy by the name Troy loved her but to her shock, he never even loved her! What actually happened is that, this girl Belinda, loved this man too deeply. She gave him everything including her heart, mind and soul. She was in too deep. The girl would sneak out and tell her parents that she'd be spending the with her friend Ali...

Appreciation

Appreciation is recognising what someone does or someone's efforts. Every person in the world has something he or she can do. Even if it is not done to perfection, at least he or she has done something. People should start learning to appreciate what others do. It shows that you're happy about what the person has done. The importance of appreciating others is : *To motivate them *To make their efforts higher. *To make them feel loved. *They cannot give up on anything no matter how trying it might be. They will continue working hard until they finally achieve what they want. They will venture into other things and everything will go very well. It is very disheartening doing something so very well, thinking that you've done it to your best, only to be criticised in the end. When a person is criticised, he feels like giving up and other horrible things. He or she might think suicide as a better option. The person feels unloved and wonders why it's only them that...

You can be what you want.

Believing in yourself is something that can make you prosper. And not only prospering financially, but also in achieving what you've ever dreamed of. When I say believing in yourself, I mean being confident about yourself and be light eving you can do it. Some of us may have qualms about what they want to do.
