1) Enjoy the moment. Today you have life, tomorrow it may be no more. 2) What you value, is not usually valued by other people. So, don’t do things to show off, but to make you and your loved ones happy. 3) Never sell your soul to chase worldly riches. You can only drive one car or sleep in one bed. If you can extend a helping hand, do it now. 4) There is nothing better than family and friends. You may try to underplay it, but sooner or later, family and friends are always the best investment. 5) Self-drive…
The covid19 success habits
How are you winning during the lockdown? Times have been tough for everyone. What you are probably going through is like what all people who run a marathon go through. They all start the race at the same time. As the race progresses, some runners start falling off. This is always expected. It is having never happened that all runners who start a marathon complete it. Never. However, those who complete saying, they felt like giving up, only that they saw that other runners were equally struggling. This means, at some time during the run, folks that win are those…
Homily for Tuesday, Fifth Week of Easter
Readings Acts 14:19-28 Jn 14:27-31a. In this morning’s first reading we are told that as Paul and Barnabas made their way back through the churches they had founded, ‘they put fresh heart into the disciples, encouraging them to persevere in the faith’. We all need encouragement, especially with regard to our faith and our relationship with the Lord. We need to keep putting fresh heart into each other, encouraging each other to persevere in the faith. That is what we find Jesus doing in the gospel reading. It is the night of the last supper; the disciples are feeling discouraged.…
From WhatsApp: Understand the principles of politics as already elaborated in the prince by Machiavelli
In politics you must understand that; Nobody has your interests. Everybody is chasing their interests. Dealing with politicians is like sleeping with tigers; you must always have your eyes wide open. In any Political equation, there’s always someone being used. If you can’t find one then it is you. Serving Politicians is like being a bandage on a wound. Once the wound is healed your usefulness ends. Politicians don’t recognize and reward value they recognize their own needs and you are only as useful as the lifespan of their need for you. In Politics never wail more than the bereaved.…
Homily for Monday, Fifth Week of Easter
Readings Acts 14:5-18 Jn 14:21-26 When Paul is speaking to a pagan audience in today’s first reading, he tells them that the living God did not leave them without evidence of himself in the good things he did for them, such as abundant rain, the growth of crops, sufficient food. It can be helpful for us to recognize the presence of the living God in the good things in our own lives. Even amidst struggle and loss, good things can be found, and all such good things are little reminders of the presence of the living God. The most precious…
From WhatsApp: Why men die early? Ask no more…
Hello Everyone; Growing up, I noticed something very interesting: A lot of the men in my town who were in the formal economy and could rely on monthly income, died shortly after coming to retirement, normally between three and five years. Many of them, would have just semi-completed their building projects (not done but still habitable). The next thing is for them to finally invest some of their SSNIT cash into their wives’ business (normally groceries store). Unfortunately, a couple of them still pay fees of children (normally out of wedlock). They then suddenly die. The superstitious inclination of the…
