Optimist

Residence of Kabogor in Emining ward- Baringo County saw a spectacular swarm of desert  locust which had covered the sky descending from the slopes of Sirwa-Kapkein hills. It first touched down at Ngendui and Oinopsos almost blocking Ravine - Tenges road, before advancing to Kipsongol and chemutagar of Cheberen location and to Isanche, Kipswerer, sonochun, kamulat, kaptabarar and finally to kindonin before vanishing to kamalanget of Kabogor sub location and to other sides of lombala and Ngubereti. The locust spent only 1hr in the area but left a traceable mark on trees and grass. People followed step by step scaring them away and wondering of their eating nature of leaves and grass which left some trees leaveless within minutes. The old ( kipkoimet(chongin) and korongoro) said that the same locust visited the area in the early years of 1950s and 60,s so to them it was history repeating itself. To Kaplelach age set to Chumo, this was their first time to witness locust in their ...

Walk away  from people who put  you down. Walk away  from fights that will  never be resolved.  Walk away from trying  to please people who will  never see your worth.  The more you walk away  from things that poison  your soul, the healthier  you will be. This is the bitter reality of life that we give importance to those people who always degrade us and doesn’t give us any value. So it’s better to walk away from such people who will put your level down. Never ever involve yourself in such fights that don’t have any end. The most important thing is to stay away from such people who will not give you value and importance in their life. They don’t consider you in front of them. The more you stay away from such people the more you will save yourself and your soul from being poisoned. These people will harm you and will also affect your health. So it’s better to stay away from such people and stay happy and healthy. This life is given ...

It’s with a heavy heart that I write you this note, knowing the amount of pain it is going to cause you. Mum, I want you to know that I love you dearly and will ever love you. If I am given the opportunity to live again I will still choose you as my mum and our family will still be my place of birth. But unfortunately, I know that there is not going to be any such opportunity. Mum, I didn’t want to do this, but I was compelled by circumstances beyond my control to take the plunge. I tried my best to pull through, but my best was not good enough. I battled alone for about thirteen months now until my strength failed me. You and dad could not decipher what I was going through and maybe I should not blame you for that. My one and only brother came very close to understanding what I was passing through but it was too much for his young mind to comprehend. Mum, I know that you and dad loved me and did everything you could to prove that to me but I was not feeling loved. ...

"Mochomin chi kou ye ichomegei, amagurenen chi kiy ye metinye kiy ne nengung" by a renowned kalenjin elder. Sich komongunet ile kou ye sobei  cheptailel ne nomu sobet ak koberuri bikyik, aegu agane kiy eng taitatab bik ak bororiet. Mobuch kogiletabgei ne igiligei ichenge sobon,morue mungu,kerin ago tetei che miach agobo inye mutai. Iterteri tugul che uen eng taingung ak kosuldaun mungu che imokchinigei. Moting'u chi borotetab chi, mungu inegei ne igochin chi.

Another way that you love your enemy is this: When the opportunity presents itself for you to defeat your enemy, that is the time which you must not do it. There will come a time, in many instances, when the person who hates you most, the person who has misused you most, the person who has gossiped about you most, the person who has spread false rumors about you most, there will come a time when you will have an opportunity to defeat that person. It might be in terms of a recommendation for a job; it might be in terms of helping that person to make some move in life. That’s the time you must do it. That is the meaning of love. In the final analysis, love is not this sentimental something that we talk about. It’s not merely an emotional something. Love is creative, understanding goodwill for all men. It is the refusal to defeat any individual. When you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power, you seek only to defeat evil systems. Individuals who happen to ...

Whenever you deal with people you must always remember that you might need them in the future . You may end up needing help from the people who are asking for your help today. Life is like a moving wheel, sometimes you are up and sometimes you are down. Sometimes we destroy the bridges that we might need to cross later. Joseph helped the cupbearer in prison and later the cupbearer connected Joseph with Pharaoh. Imagine how Portiphar’s wife felt when she heard that Joseph was now the Governor of Egypt after she had falsely accused him. The brothers who sold Joseph away ended up needing bread from him. Even when you have differences with someone don’t go to the extremes, have tomorrow in mind. When you leave your job remember that you will need a reference from your former boss. Jonathan was the son of a King but he was nice to David who was an ordinary citizen and it helped in the future 2 Samuel 9:1 David asked, “Is there anyone still left of the house of Saul t...

You are not behind in life. There is no schedule or timetable that we all must follow. It is all made up. Wherever you are right now is exactly where you need to be. Seven billion people can't do everything in exactly the same scheduled order. We are all different with a variety of needs and goals. Some get married early, some get married late, while other's don't get married at all. What is early? What is late? Compared with whom? Compared with what? Some want children, others don't. Some want a career; others enjoy taking care of a house and children. Your life is not on anyone else's schedule. Do not beat yourself up for where you are right now. It is your timeline, not anyone else's and nothing is off schedule.  Be yourself and follow your own schedule.
