One Day at a Time
“One day at a time ~ this is enough.
Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come.
Live in the present, make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.”
Do not look back and grieve over the past for it is gone;
Do not be troubled about the future, for it has not yet come.
Live in the present, make it so beautiful it will be worth remembering.”
Methali Za Kiswahili ~ Proverbs
Adhabu ya kaburi aijua maiti: The torture of the grave is only known by the corpse
Baada ya dhiki faraja: After hardship comes relief
Chombo cha kuzama hakina usukani: A sinking vessel needs no navigation
Fadhila ya punda ni mateke: Gratitude of a donkey is a kick
Ganda la mua la jana chungu kaona kivuno: The skin of yesterday's sugarcane is a harvest to an ant
Usicheze na simba, ukamtia mkono kinywani: When you play with a lion, do not put your hand in its mouth (that would be going too far!)
Ucheshi wa mtoto ni anga Ia nyumba: The laughter of a child lights up the house
Kinywa ni jumba la maneno: Mouth is the home of words
Machoni rafiki, moyoni mnafiki: Friendly in the eyes, a hypocrite at heart
Mama nipe radhi kuishi na watu kazi: Mother, give me your blessings; living with people is really tough

“If there are dreams about a beautiful South Africa, there are also roads that lead to their goal.
Two of these roads could be named Goodness and Forgiveness.”

Missionaries in Africa ~ Bishop Desmond Tutu
When the Missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land.
They said, 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes.
When we opened our eyes, we had the Bible and they had our land.
They said, 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes.
When we opened our eyes, we had the Bible and they had our land.
Gazelle & The Lion
Every morning in Africa, a Gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be killed.
Every morning a Lion wakes up. It knows it must outrun the slowest Gazelle or it will starve to death.
It doesn't matter whether you are a Lion or a Gazelle...
When the sun comes up, you'd better be running.”

Fundas of Life
Practice makes perfect.....
But nobody's perfect......so why practice?
Money is not everything.
There's Master Card & Visa.
One should love animals.
They are so tasty.
Save water.
Shower with your girl friend.
Love thy neighbour.
But don't get caught.
Behind every successful man, there is a woman
And behind every unsuccessful man, there are two.
Every man should marry
After all, happiness is not the only thing in life.
The wise never marry…..
And when they marry they become otherwise.
Success is a relative term - It brings so many relatives.
God made relatives; Thank God we can choose our friends.
Never put off the work till tomorrow,
what you can put off today.
"Your future depends on your dreams"
So go to sleep
There should be a better way to start a day
Than waking up every morning
"Hard work never killed anybody"
"But why take the risk!"
"Work fascinates me"
"I can look at it for hours!"
When two's company, - three's the result!
The more you learn, the more you know,
The more you know, the more you forget
The more you forget, the less you know - So... Why learn.
A bus station is where a bus stops.
A train station is where train stops.
On my desk, I have a work station.... What more can I say........
