Forgive

Forgive!

MARK 11:25-26 NKJ
25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything
against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may
also forgive you your trespasses.
26 “But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in
heaven forgive your trespasses.”

You must forgive others. No matter what they have done. It is
the command of God. But it was given for our benefit.

To not forgive hurts you. Refusing to forgive is like
swallowing poison daily. It will destroy you.

Jesus said we should forgive when we stand praying. So we don’t
have to wait until people apologize. Nor does forgiveness
require a long time.

Forgiveness is not a feeling. It is a decision to quit holding
something against someone. When we forgive people we must
release them and forget it.

You may think it is impossible to forgive someone who has
deeply wronged you. With God it is possible. He never asks us
to do something we cannot do.

LUKE 6:35-38 NKJ
35 “But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for
nothing in return; and your reward will be great, and you will
be sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful and
evil.
36 “Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is
merciful.
37 “Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and
you shall not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven.
38 “Give, and it will be given to you: good measure, pressed
down, shaken together, and running over will be put into your
bosom. For with the same measure that you use, it will be
measured back to you.”

Whatever we measure out is what will be measured back to us. If
we want others — including God — to show mercy to us and
forgive us — we must forgive and be merciful to others.

It is not enough to forgive only those people who have wronged
us a little. We must forgive everyone!

MATTHEW 18:21-22 NKJ
21 Then Peter came to Him and said, “Lord, how often shall my
brother sin against me, and I forgive him? Up to seven times?”
22 Jesus said to him, “I do not say to you, up to seven times,
but up to seventy times seven.

Surely Jesus was not setting a maximum limit on the number of
times we should forgive. He gave an absurdly high number so we
would realize He meant for us to forgive without limit — just
as He forgives us.

LUKE 23:33-34 NKJ
33 And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there
they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand
and the other on the left.
34 Then Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know
what they do.” And they divided His garments and cast lots.

Jesus set a perfect example of forgiveness for us when He
forgave those who mocked Him and crucified Him. But this kind
of forgiveness is certainly beyond normal human ability or
experience. It takes the power of God to do it. When we are
born again we have access to that power through the love of God
inside us.

EPHESIANS 4:32 NKJ
32 And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one
another, just as God in Christ also forgave you.

We are commanded to forgive others in the same way God has
forgiven us! Having God’s help is necessary to do that.

COLOSSIANS 3:13 NKJ
13 bearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if
anyone has a complaint against another; even as Christ forgave
you, so you also must do.

It is not optional. If we desire God’s blessing and fellowship
— we must forgive others as He forgave us.

SAY THIS: With God’s help, I will forgive.

MASCULINITY

February 12, 2019

Dannydaniels Advice, Encouragement, Inspiring, Uncategorized Leave a comment

MASCULINITY.

Did you spend your childhood ‘closing school’ with some boys? Do you suffer from the urge to stare at women and whistle, make weird comments about their body shapes? Have you ever tried to show off your ‘guns and abs’? Then my friend you are suffering from a horrific disease called ‘maleness’. Don’t worry my disgusting friend, there is a cure. ‘Anti-Man’, proven to reduce testosterone and eradicate your masculinity within 30 days or your money back.

This is the message that a growing number of gender activists and corporations that wish to adopt a virtuous facade, most recently Gillette, would have us believe. Lakini, what’s the reality? Based on social norms that have been developed over generations and thousands of years, underpinned by biology and using empirical evidence I seek to rationalize masculinity and answer an important question. IS BEING MASCULINE BAD FOR SOCIETY? As my crazy friend says, fast of oho, what is masculinity?

It is entirely distinct from an individual’s biological sex. Its true masculine traits stem from a person’s biological sex, but if we’re getting technical then masculinity itself is a social construct that describes a set of traits innately present in most men. Yes I said most not all. Some traits can be found in women, however not always and often to lesser extremes. The traits also may differ from different cultures, but traits that define a masculine man are universally consistent. These traits are stoicism, resilience, courage, strength, independence and assertiveness.

Now before we judge men for being too assertive sometimes leading to violence or too stoic for not displaying emotions, we need to understand where this comes from. Men don’t become stoic just because we tell them ‘crying is for girls’ and ‘man up’. Masculinity might be enforced or enhanced by certain cultures through social pressures. But the fact is, masculine traits originate from our biology, constructed over a period of over 200,000 years since the beginning of homo sapiens. We are divided as animals in two sexes, not just for reproduction but also for other reasons. Look at the whole animal kingdom, male and female roles are well defined. Females have evolved to have behavioral and physiological traits that are conducive to the healthy development and loving nurture of their young. This simplifies logistics…

Empathy, patience, tenderness and emotional awareness those are the traits mothers have. Security and provision is left to the male species. This is where males developed a greater aptitude for physical strength and the natural courage to hunt and provide food for their tribe and women (Now you know why women like talk dark and muscular men). Men evolved to have aggressiveness, resilience and assertiveness, underpinned by undying competitiveness against rival males and protect their women and tribe from other scarier tribes with bigger, larger and pointier sticks. Now that was pre-civilization, we don’t need long, bigger and pointier sticks nowadays do we ladies? Eehhmm…

These are the traits most gender activists are looking to eradicate. Today it is more socially acceptable than ever before in the history of humanity for a man to show emotions and share his feelings with his friends, for a man to cry, for a man to choose another man as a sexual partner and marry him. All these are truly amazing and undeniably positive advances towards a better, more harmonic world and well I wouldn’t say any, but not all degrades a man’s masculinity. But these are not the traits these authoritarian leftist activists are trying to suppress. What is under fire is the more assertive, domineering and tough side that is biologically present in every man, to varying degree.

Let’s be honest, evil and malice is present in every gender. So let’s stop associating evilness with masculinity. It’s true more men get arrested more than women. But let’s be fair, if a man drugs a woman that case will be investigated and the man caught. IF a man is drugged by a woman, we say he learnt a lesson. If a man beats up a woman that’s a police case, if a woman beats up a man. You say, alijua hajui.. We have brought up men who can no longer stand for themselves. Because we taught them being masculine is bad for themselves. We have empowered women and clueless men. Lets stop judging all men for a few men’s mistakes. Let’s not take away the beautiful things masculine do, when a man takes his kids to school, that’s masculinity doing good, when a young man helps his mother that’s masculinity doing good, when terrorists attacks and our men in uniform come to the rescue, that’s masculinity doing good. Let’s not frustrate men from being masculine.

These men who help build and improve our society every day face other challenges at an alarming ratio. Men commit suicide three times more than women, men are more likely to be assaulted or robbed, 3.5 times more likely to be murdered, 96% of work fatalities happen to men, 5.6 times more likely to be incarcerated, 86% of homeless population is male, boys have been lagging behind girls in education the last 15 years and the gap is widening every year. We no longer push for competitiveness, we have taken the competitiveness from the boy child and now we are awarding kids for just participating. There are 5 times more girl schools than boys in every county.

Empowering the girl child is a good thing, but doing so by neglecting the boy child is building a bad society. Who will these girls date? Who will they marry? If you ask ladies they say its hard to find a good man. In other words they lack masculine men any more. We have encouraged men to be feminine and this taken the masculinity away from the boy child. Women have mothers to mentor and raise them. Who will raise the boy child? Who will raise the boy child? AS much as we want hide this under the rug, father-lessness is very bad for the boy child.

I myself and anyone else out there, do not wish to take away the ability to be feminine if you want to, I don’t have a problem with you being the person you want to be. But we all must work to protect the rights of everybody to choose who they want to be. Let everyone have a right to be who they want to be, lets not label men who want to be masculine as sexist male privilege by the media and tribal activists. So men, if you want to shout and enjoy your brown bottles during a game, have fun and enjoy your masculine self.

BASIC SKILLS AND EDUCATION

December 9, 2018

Dannydaniels Advice, Counsel, Life, Uncategorized Leave a comment

 

Well,  it’s another weekend and it’s been a while since i wrote something. Will try and keep this short. I was having a phone conversation with a friend who has very educated but zero skills employees.  What is happening to our education system? I have worked with learning institutions most of my short life in this planet and especially this country that I love called Kenya. Most principals in high schools will complain of having teachers who can’t teach.  Who do we blame for the lack of skills and challenges facing the work place?

We have more university campuses than we have training institutes and polytechnics. Our country has more white collar job lot jobless and no technical skilled jobless person. According to daily nation article by Ouma Wanzala dated June 8th 2017, this country has a challenge of engineers.  Kenya has only 2,100 certified engineers serving 45 million people against an expected minimum of 6,000. Also our beloved CS once said, Kenya faces shortage of artisans and other skilled labour – CS Matiang’i. Yet we have kids struggling to get to our universities.

Let’s have a look at what we have. What kind of graduates do companies get? A person with a tweng, they are busy trying to sound intelligent but wait till you ask them to write something down. You will be astounded with the kind of grammar you will be handling on your desk, the spellings and sentence construction will shock you. These are people who are afraid to think for themselves and wait to be thought for, anyone who has led a group even on whatsapp will attest to this. This is now forcing companies to spend more on in house training. Someone told me they are getting half-baked employees with fancy degrees.

You get a good resume and think this one is the perfect one. Masters with honors on their resume, then you give them a task, that’s when you and the person who buys a dress online have the same problem. It was only good on paper; your new employee has zero skills, no creativity or even the drive.  This is where now you have train them a fresh yet they spent years in school.  Unlucky you if you get the untrainable ones. The ones who went through private schools where they were coached on how to pass exams and how to steal and buy exams in their university life, but they were never taught how to think or be productive. So you are left with some employees who are just a decoration in your company just like the fancy wall lights you have in your office.

This is all because our parents celebrated degrees more than skills; we have been brought up from childhood believing that all you need is to graduate. Anyone who lives on Thika rd can surely tell how Kenyans celebrate graduations. The traffic is always a menace, try ordering an Uber the surge is continuous. Anyway it’s not about me and ranting about transportation. But seriously about that traffic… will be back to complain. Then we have lost all the good colleges by converting them to universities. Who thought that was a good idea? He should be shot, well at least on the leg. Because we are mass producing slaying men and women who are experts of taking selfies and Instagram updates than anything else. Universities no longer care about quality education with proper skills as long as the students ‘graduate’ and the institution makes money.  What a shame.

We have men who can’t do anything beyond changing tires yet they spent years in school, yes this again. I believe in good skills and if you ever want to test my skills feel welcome. We forget life is not aout papers but survival, and basic skills will make you survive. Schools nowadays teach students on how to pass exams instead coaching them how learn and pass them. Yes I have tried this and it works. In short, let’s go back to the basics and re-introduce competence and skills based education as opposed to exam/papers based “education”. That way, we won’t have to mourn that we have very few “As” and so many “Ds”.

As a parent teach your child the basic skills, as a teach coach your student on ways learn better and comprehend, remember and articulately express it on paper.  As a country let’s remember where the rain started to beat us. This way we will build a society with competent people and a good nation will emerge.

 

This is what i found on the Internet…

The Unofficial Goldman Sachs guide to being a man:

Stop talking about where you went to college.

Always carry cash. Keep some in your front pocket.

Rebel from business casual. Burn your khakis and wear a suit or jeans.

It’s ok to trade the possibility of your 80s and 90s for more guaranteed fun in your 20s and 30s.

Never stay out after midnight three nights in a row… Unless something really good comes up on the third night.

You will regret your tattoos.

Never date an ex of your friend.

People are tired of you being the funny, drunk guy.

When in doubt, always kiss the girl.

You probably use your mobile phone too often and at the wrong moments.

Buy expensive sunglasses. Superficial? Yes, but so are the women judging you. And it tells these women you appreciate nice things and are responsible enough not to lose them.

Do 50 push-ups, sit-ups, and dips before you shower each morning.

Eat brunch with friends at least every other weekend. Leave Rusty and Junior at home.

Desserts are for women. Order one and pretend you don’t mind that she’s eating yours.
Buy a tuxedo before you are 30. Stay that size.
One girlfriend at a time is probably enough.
#StopItWithTheHastags
Your ties should be rolled and placed in a sectioned tie drawer.
Throw parties. 
But have someone else clean up the next day.
Measure yourself only against your previous self.
Take more pictures. With a camera.
Place-dropping is worse than-name dropping.
Your clothes do not match. They go together.
Yes, of course you have to buy her dinner.
Staying angry is a waste of energy.
If she expects the person you are 20% of the time, 100% of the time, then she doesn’t want you.
Always bring a bottle of something to the party.
Don’t use the word “closure” or ever expect it in real life.
If you are wittier than you are handsome, avoid loud clubs.
Date women outside your social set. You’ll be surprised.
If it’s got velvet ropes and lines, walk away unless you know someone.
You cannot have a love affair with whiskey because whiskey will never love you back.
If you believe in evolution, you should know something about how it works.
No-one cares if you are offended, so stop it.
Never take an ex back. She tried to do better and is settling with you.
Eating out alone can be magnificent. Find a place where you can sit at the bar.
Read more. It allows you to borrow someone else’s brain, and will make you more interesting at a dinner party — provided that you don’t initiate conversation with, “So, who are you reading…”
Ignore the boos. They usually come from the cheap seats.
Don’t ever say, “it is what it is.”
Don’t gamble if losing $US100 is going to piss you off.
Remember, “rules are for the obedience of fools and the guidance of wise men

New big thing.

We have all heard of success stories of people who bought Bitcoin in the early days and later they made millions. Bitcoin has reached highs of over $7000+ (over 700k Ksh) for just one coin. Bitcoin or one of its competitors could very possibly be the next global currency of the world, in the future. Bitcoin is certainly an interesting new force in our world and whether it becomes it becomes a new global currency or it crashes into digital abyss, there is something even more interesting than bitcoin. This technology will unquestionably change the world beyond recognition.

I am talking about the very technology that makes bitcoin possible, BLOCKCHAIN.  Blockchain is so much bigger than bitcoin. Bitcoin is simply the very first adopter of a revolutionary technology, which is going to change our world. In the same way the wheel, the printing press and nduthi did.

The idea about blockchain was first described in 1991 by a group of researchers. But it wasn’t until a mysterious guy or a group of people; well no one knows for sure their identity. Under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto used this idea in 2008 to create Bitcoin, and blockchain finally became a reality.

A blockchain is a ledger of financial accounts but digitized and decentralized. And this decentralization is from where its power and immense security is derived. Each block contains data based on whatever the blockchain is being used for. In the case of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, each block contains a list of transactions that have occurred including the person who sent the bitcoin, the recipient and the amount.

A single block is by no means secure, because the data can be easily tampered with. To vastly simplify things, a hacker could simply change the amount of a transaction to be more than it actually was to fraudulently extract more funds from the system. But when you have more than one block, they are linked together by a virtual chain. The subsequently linked block will always contain a unique finger print of the previous block. This is known as a HARSH.

If a single byte of data changes in the previous block, so does its unique fingerprint or harsh. And so the subsequent linked block is no longer valid. Also every single of a block down the chain is now invalid too. This could be many thousands of blocks and millions of transactions. This mechanism adds significant security to the whole system and makes it almost tamperproof, but not quite. Because modern computers, can easily change every single harsh along the entire blockchain within milliseconds, so then the entire chain would be fraudulent. But it would still show as valid.

So the bitcoin blockchain and all other modern block chains have something called a proof-of-work fail safe. Which means that any adjustment to a single block must be slowed down often taking ten minutes or more to accomplish, increasing the security. This is because hackers don’t like time throttling of any kind. Also every single data alteration must be backed up with a proof-of-work. It’s just like in school when you got a marking scheme then the teacher asked you to show your formula to the answer. This is how some of you had to take thorough beating because you couldn’t show your workings.

Lastly, what makes blockchain so immune to tampering, fraud and hacking is the fact that it is completely decentralized. No single person, organization or server, controls or dictates a blockchain network such as Bitcoin. Blockchain is collectively stored and replicated on mass on a peer to peer network. Similar to BitTorrent, but unlike BitTorrent which has a centralized tracker, no one centralized server or corporation tracks and controls who has what data on the blockchain. Instead everyone on the network, which could be thousands or even millions of people, has an exact replica of the same data file or blockchain. So its integrity can be verified. Everyone on the network has to have a record of the entire blockchain, all the way from its inception. Meaning everyone in the blockchain network such as bitcoin has a record of every single bitcoin transaction that has ever happened.

 

Hacking nowadays has been the norm of the day. Big corporations, banks and even social media is being hacked. If you think your data is safe, you’re terribly mistake. However if more companies that are responsible for maintaining large amounts of data, were to properly adopt the blockchain system to store their data in a global distributed and decentralized network. Chances of that data ever being hacked would be near impossible. And just because your data will be distributed in public to for everyone to see on the blockchain, it doesn’t mean that the world can actually view its content and see your Mombasa Pictures that you took with your clande and ben 10.

Data contained in the blockchain network can be and is often cryptographically encrypted. Thus the data can still be checked and verified by the world without ever being viewable. Except by its owner and those its owner selects to see.

The potential uses of blockchain technology are far and wide. And this is why, Blockchain technology is the new wheel of the 21st century. Watch this space.

Thank you for reading

 

 

 

TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR LIFE

To Take Charge of Your life, Be Intentional about Influence
To take charge of your life, you must be Intentional about Leadership . Influence is to persuade somebody to buy a product, consider a service, believe a way of life, buy into an idea, a company, an enterprise, or just to a better life.
We all have the chance and the opportunity to influence somebody else’s thinking, their future, or their life. The key is to develop the skills to do it. You can influence people casually, haphazardly, or intentionally. The key to
influence people on purpose is to learn the skills of how to do it.


To Take Charge of Your life, Be Sincere
To take charge of your life, you must be sincere. To accomplish something, you have to be sincere. “Sincerity is not a test of truth. Don’t make a mistake of saying “he must be right because he’s so sincere; the reason is that it’s possible to be sincerely wrong.
You have to decide for yourself what is truth. You have to learn to “weigh sincerity on sincerity scale and weigh truth on truth scale.” Don’t weigh truth on sincerity scale.

 


To Take Charge of Your life, Search for New Ideas
To take charge of your life, you must search for new ideas. Ideas are not that far away. “Everything you need is within reach.” The ideas you need to change your life or your business is within reading reach, it’s within listening reach.
There is a probably a library not too far from most people but the problem is “most people drive by the library, few people stop by.” For example, KENYA libraries are free but very few go to read there. The key is not that it’s within reach; the key is who is going to reach.
There is a simple Bible phrase that says “if you search, you will find.” It’s very important to know that “finding is reserved for the searchers.” “You don’t find what you need; you find what you search for.”
Neediness is not the prerequisite for getting value.” “You can’t be a needer; you have to be a searcher.” But if you search, if you try, if you go, if you listen, ideas are within reach. “There is nothing so powerful as an idea who time has come.”
A business idea, social idea, investment idea, good health idea, social idea, all you need is a refinement of an idea to make an impact in your life.

 


To Take Charge of Your life, Go some extra miles
To take charge of your life, you must be willing to go some extra miles. It doesn’t take much to make a significant difference as life passes. A small difference in a change of discipline, or a change of thinking, can start you on journey to happiness, instead of regrets.
It’s very important to know if you are headed towards happiness or regrets 10 years from now . The key is to start right now to make the little changes to walk this new road. Just a few daily disciplines make a great deal of difference in one year, three years, five years, ten years from now.
“ Ten years from now, you will surely arrive, the question is where?”


You are doing enough things (say 10%) to have arrived at where you are today. You might think you need to do about 90% to make the difference for your life. Maybe all you need is that extra 5-10% of intellectual change, activity change, a refinement of disciple or a refinement of thought. Just a few changes in your reading discipline, few disciplines of the mind, few disciplines of activity.
All you need is the ideas to make these simple changes and the equity starts gathering. “Now is the time to fix the next 10 years .” For example, are you reading the book that will take you where you want to go in the next 10 years ?

Science of Love

September 18, 2018

Did you know that love can be explained? There are three neurotransmitters involved in attraction. Dopamine, adrenaline and serotonin.

 

Dopamine makes you feel good, it has the same effect on your brain as doing cocaine. That’s how you get addicted to that idiot… Yes come beat…

This is where couples show higher dopamine levels, you find that you have suppressed hunger, high energy, higher ability to focus, some even become expert poets and less need for sleep. Remember those late night chats? Haki this explains why am hungry all the time and i sleep like newborn babies.

 

Haisuru, where were we? Ooh yes Adrenaline. When you start to fall in love with a person, your stress response is activated. This increases the level of adrenaline and cortisol in your blood. Now this explains why you might have sweat palms and a racing heart when you see your new lover. Hii Ni matatizoo.

 

Anywho, next up serotonin. Serotonin levels have actually been shown to drop in people who are in love. This can be compared to someone with OCD, and no most of you don’t have OCD, i mean obsessive compulsive disorder. You know the jumpy jumpy and anxiety kind? This explains the anxiety and nervousness.

 

All this chemical talk has got me thinking about pheromones. You know those chemicals that animals and humans produce to attract mates? This explains why Tinder is not a good idea… Pheromones are excreted through the skin and can be found on your tears and sweat. They can help you get the right genetically compatible mate. Imagine scientists did this research where women would smell a shirt worn by different men. And guess what? They choose someone who DNA is different from their own. Kuddos evolution.

 

Now how does all this work? Well all your senses play part in this. Pheromones use our sense of smell, and our sense of sight is another big determinant. That big gluteus Maximus and the sight of good melons. Kaa hapo ukifloat. Well, see that cute human being over there? Stop looking I was just messing with you. Anyway our instinct is to be visually attracted to that person who shows characteristics of being fit for reproduction. Or in some cases just the first part of it.

 

Our ears also contribute to this attraction business. Hearing a person’s voice along with the way they speak in some cases higher or lower levels of attraction. While sense of touch can be a very important part of anyone’s relationship. It really can make or break the beginning of stages. Many people become uninterested in a person after a bad first kiss or hunkie pankie… (don’t judge me, my kids might read this in the future). But are they making a bigger deal out of it? Not really, getting this close to a person, your sense of smell, taste, touches and others are all working together. And when your brain reacts positively to a first kiss and maybe the other one, your body is flooded with norepinephrine. Your body goes to fight or flight mode. (This explains one night stands that never become two nights). Your heart beats faster, and the norepinephrine creates a sort of narrow tunnel vision to help you focus on the QT infront of you or run away. Now i know why some people dress up quickly after you know what.

 

This chemical can warp your sense of time and also improve your memory. Haki someone give me a smooch.. I have time to kill..

 

Have you ever been in love? And… I don’t know how to really ask you this… but, will you share this to someone else?

 

Thanks for reading.

 

Offended

September 12, 2018

Dannydaniels Uncategorized Leave a comment

Warning this write up contains words that some readers may find defensive if you are affected by any other content in this you please contact literally anyone else but me.

 

Before i forget i’d like to say that this blog will be a bit different to normal, because it will contain a lot of opinion, but i feel so passionately about this topic that it needs to be addressed.

 

So if you are sensitive and easily offended kindly give this one a miss. If you have arched the news or read the papers and any social media, in recent years you have noticed a trend of  a group that is offended by everything.

Whether you been a witness to it or not there is an ever growing number of ultra politically correct, far left militants, that are hell bent campaigning for a cause for people who they have never met or even never asked them to complain for them in the first place.

 

And no this isn’t about politics, it for more seriously than that. This is about maintaining our freedom and rights as human beings. And no, sadly am not exaggerating.

 

Okay, so what the hell i’m I going on about? Let me tell you about a fairly recent case that just goes to prove my point about how deadly political correctness can be. In November 2009 a psychologist working in the us army , Nidal Malik Hassan, opened fire on the other troops in the base shouting God is great in arabic. 13 people were killed. It was soon discovered that the Pentagon knew all about Hassan’s radical ideologies way before this act of terrorism. They knew about the emails he sent to together radical Muslims. Even his own colleagues at the base had expressed their discomfort about him to to others, saying he was a ticking time bomb.

 

 So how on earth could be US government and the senior army management simply allow this mass murder to take place?

 

Well because of the powers that be within the US army were too afraid of being accused of racially profiling someone to take any action against him. And so because of the unyielding pressure of political correctness in the modern age, 13 people tragically had to die.

 

We have a snowflake, overly sensitive millennials who feel entitled to being offended. These keyboard warriors hide behind their cell phones and laptop keyboards, lashing out on everything and everyone who says something they don’t like. They crucify comedians, movies and other TV content that say anything that doesn’t go with your taste of words.

 

This has inevitably led to a rapid decline in creativity. And now we have to suffer through tasteless comedies and movies.

What is the true problem today? It is millennials who have in their mind the feelings of entitlement, that they believe to censor everyone. This is because, these kids most especially in the west, having grown in a time of no violence, war, of oppression and poverty, they have never known what it’s like to not have everything.

 

They think being offended means something, well it doesn’t. If you are offended handle it like everyone else used to or does.

 

Actually well let me tell you straight, being offended doesn’t mean anything it’s a natural human response. It’s ok to be offended or even disgusted. But that doesn’t mean you oppress others because they offended you. If someone calls you stupid, be mad. But doesn’t mean tweet and Facebook against people using the word stupid. That’s actually very… stupid.

And it’s also a little something we like to call OPPRESSION. I’m not talking about every young person out there.  I’m simply talking about a small small minority but as is often the case in life, it’s the few that spoil it for the many.

 

Just because you are offended by a specific thing, it does not mean that the rest of the world should be. Because we are all unique, and may vary in difference of opinions. We don’t even have the same faiths and beliefs. And if we did have the same beliefs, that doesn’t sound like fun does it?

 

For example i get offended by people who drink instant coffee, that doesn’t mean I make people drink chocolate. Because that’s not right. I can’t go forcing my opinions down people’s throats.  Should i care everyone out there is offended by different things? I can guarantee that, no matter what you think of, there will be someone out there in the world he finds it offensive. You can never fully police every freedom speech and people behaviours because doing so who be trying to police everyone and everything that they say. This snowflake generation, are trying to police everything. We are humans and we are allowed to be different from each other, both on ideologies and opinions. So you can’t force everyone to be like you.

 

 I don’t know about you, but i would say that attempting to prevent people from thinking of certain way, from saying what they want and stopping them for behaving in a natural and human way is the opposite of freedom of speech.

 

I hope that, and a desire for free speech to be still well and alive within our society. It’s ok to be offended. But forcing it down our throats is not.

 

So the next time that someone get offended and complains against you for sitting the wrong way in public, for eating meat, for buying Mtura, for using gender pronoun, for openly supporting your favourite political party, for casually flirting with a stranger or just making a joke that’s not funny to them, for innocently touching another  human being, for openly praying for your chosen deity, for simply earning more money than your peers, or simply because you don’t identify as a non-conforming gender fluid, pansexual cabbage. Do not stand for it, not for a moment.

 

Because at the end of the day, you are being yourself. And believe me, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that. If simply being yourself and doing what you know, and what comes natural to you offends someone else, then it’s their problem to deal with. Don’t let them make it yours or anybody else’s.

If you have miraculously read through all that… good job and thanks for your time.

24 SELF DEVELOPMENT TIPS

September 10, 2018

1. Make friends with successful people and occasionally buy them gifts and surprise them with lunch because successful people always give and hardly get, so when you give them, they value the gift a lot.

2. Get a mentor and follow his instructions and respect the relationship. Never beg your mentor for money or disrespect his or her privacy.

3. Make new positive friends as often as possible and ensure you keep the communication line open. Create a network of friends and not just connections.

5. Show kindness to everyone. Some small boys today will be big boys tomorrow. The biggest dog in the neighbourhood was once a puppy. Keep the information/secret to yourself.

6. Always plan ahead and be proactive. He that plans the future works less in the future.

7. Listen to speeches and messages from great teachers, both religious and educational.

8. Attend seminars and trainings on any area you need to improve yourself – Train the trainer, personal development, public speaking, sales etc.

9. Have the habit of keeping a pen and a writing pad handy because ideas come in the form of flashes. The smallest pen is bigger and better than the biggest brain.

10. Make sure at every point in time you are reading a book. If you spend 20 minutes reading daily, for 52 weeks you would have consumed 1,000,000 words.

11.Stay away from television as much as possible. You can watch educational channels. Men with big TV sit in front of them to watch men with big libraries.

12 Put control over your mouth; never say evil of any man; what you are not certain of should not be said. Say good of all men.

13. Always show appreciation for any good deed you received.

14. Always help someone in need.

15. Live a debt free life. What you can’t pay cash for is not your size.

16. Give out loans that you can part with as gift, so that you don’t destroy your business and relationship.

17. Create legitimate multiple sources of income.

18. Save at least 10 percent of your income.

19. Invest a portion of your income, and be patient to see it grow. If what you have in your hands is not good to be called a harvest then it’s a seed; sow it.

20. Keep a good financial record of all income and expenses, so you won’t ask later “where did my money go”

21. Be involved in community service- Control traffic, free lesson class for students etc.

22. Keep getting better on your daily goals and dream, develop yourself on them and make sure you get to the top 10 % of your industry.

23. Make sure you engage in physical exercise. It keeps your brain alert and your body fit to enjoy your success.

24. Pray often, and know that for every success, God made it possible.

Wishing you the very best in life. Practice what you just read, and see the difference.

May you live a happy and prosperous life. 🙏😃😉

Five Deliberate Reasons you are Still Broke

September 6, 2018

Dannydaniels Advice, business, Counsel, Uncategorized , , Leave a comment

1. You are Just Lazy:

Let’s face it! Sometimes being broke is purely because of laziness. Yes there are some circumstances that may cause some people to be broke for no fault of their own, granted. But other times is just people deliberately deciding to be lazy. Too much TV, too much sleeping, too much Facebook and you want to make money. There are people who will just not do anything, they will not try… but somehow still expect money. These are the candidates for miracle money. Believe me, if you dedicate to work, and you keep working diligently everyday, in whatever your hands find to do you will find something that pays… It’s a law of work.. “he who does not work shall not eat…” Don’t look for money, look for work… And get me right, I didn’t say “look for a job” I said look for work.

2. You are too Superstitious: I will never understand how broke people are the most superstitious. Eeh. They are so averse to any money making opportunity and they look at every opportunity with an attitude, “what if I lose money?”… My friend, how much do you have to lose… Almost every opportunity your present to them, they are suspicious. And it is not possible to convince them… Especially if they have syndrome number one also… Laziness and superstition? Weapon of Mass destruction. They want risk free money making systems, which unfortunately do not exist… These are the kind of broke people who can write best seller books on “How not to Make Money”…, because thats all they see in every opportunity.

3. You think you Know Enough: Call a business seminar, even a free one, the broke will not come and they will be like “what can they teach us there?” Tag them a long business post, they comment, “didn’t finish reading, too long”.. They wont read books, even free ones. As far as they are concerned, they already know everything and depend on whatever little information they have in their head to make decision. They will engage in arguments & discussions and yet be so proudly arrogant in their ignorance and lack of logic. They find solace in their own empty heads… So even information about how to make money, they don’t listen because they think they have enough data already. They don’t understand, you only earn as much as you learn…

4. You Surround Yourself with Brokeness: Honestly, you stay in a broke neighbourhood, you have broke friends, you go to a broke church, and you have broke discussions… Who bewitched you? As I said, some circumstances are not your own making, yes, like where you stay… But having broke friends, going to broke places, having broke conversation? Those are your choices. You can choose today and say to yourself, “I may be broke, but I will no longer surround myself with broke circumstances”… Life is made in such a way that, through some induction and osmosis, you absorb whatever surrounds you and you soon start identifying with it. If you stay too long in a particular environment, you begin to internalise it and cannot describe yourself independent of your environment. Thats why you need to deliberately distrupt yourself from such environments by reducing how much time you spend surrounded by poverty for instance.

5. You are Financially Indisciplined: It’s funny how most broke people are the ones who don’t understand the power of financial discipline… The chap has been broke for a long time, and then they make a little money… Instead of thinking about how they can invest the money into tomorrow, they want to shine and prove they are not broke by living an extravagant life for the weekend. It’s funny how many broke people will be at the Chisa Nyama every weekend, trying to make a point to people who don’t know them, who don’t even care… And before the weekend ends, they are broke again. People who are not broke understand how to use money to make money… They don’t spend on unnecesary things just to show other broke people that they are not broke.

Thanks for reading
