Nothing comes easy always

On this day in 1989, Kenya Breweries staged a remarkable late comeback win in the final of the Moi Golden Cup over AFC Leopards at the Kasarani Stadium.
In the victorious team was the starting defensive trio of:
From left- Aggrey Evayo, Mike Mbaji, and Mulupi Makuto; substitutes, George Opondo, Daniel "Coe" Randa, Noah Ndunde, Zaccheus Omondi (scorer of the late equaliser), and Jacob "Ghost" Mulei.
After a 1-1 stalemate, the Ruaraka-based outfit won 3-2 on post-match penalties.

Being heartbroken is not how your story ends. Jesus promised: Blessed are those who weep, for in due time, you will laugh. It seems like He would say you’re blessed when the problem turns around, not when you weep. You’re blessed when you’re promoted, you’re blessed when the healing comes. But He said when you weep, when your heart is broken, when the load seems too heavy, you’re blessed, because He’s about to step in and turn things around. He’s about to make up for what you’ve lost. He’s about to pay you back for the trouble. Those tears are painful, but God is about to fill your mouth with laughter. When you’re in those suffering seasons, those weeping seasons, those seasons of struggle, you need to keep this promise in your spirit, “I may be weeping now, but I know joy is coming. These may be tears of sadness, but I know I’m going to laugh again.”

Why Are You Still Spending 4 Years Learning What You Could in 14 Months? Let’s talk education.

Not the “dress nicely, attend lectures, cram, pass exams, forget everything” kind.
I mean the kind that actually does something for your life.

Why are you spending 4 years on a course you can learn in 14 months with YouTube, Google, and a solid online mentor?

Who lied to us that the longer the course, the more valuable the knowledge?

You’re on your third year of a Communication degree, but you still can’t write a professional email without using “kindly revert back” or “hoping this mail finds you well.”
You’re learning Computer Science — but can’t build a working website. What’s the point?

You see...

– Nobody cares about your diploma if you have zero skills.
– Nobody is hiring based on units.
– Everyone is hiring based on outcomes.

So before you romanticize “higher education,” ask yourself:

🟣 Can this skill help me earn in 90 days?
🟣 Will this knowledge give me an edge in the market?
🟣 Is this education giving me tools—or just a title?

Because in 2025, the game has changed.
Employers want doers, not degree holders.
Clients want solvers, not certificates.

So go ahead.
Keep clapping for your cousin with a 5-year finance degree who still needs help filing KRA returns.
Or start learning a monetizable skill right now—content creation, Canva, ads, email writing, SEO—and turn your education into income.

Think about that.
Because the world doesn’t care how long you studied.
Only what you can do.

The government we have in Kenya is for the family and friends.....no need

10 lessons from "The 48 Laws of Power" by Robert Greene:

1. Never Outshine the Master: Always make those above you feel superior. If you display your talents too much, you might inadvertently trigger their insecurities. Instead, help them feel smarter and more capable.

2. Never Put Too Much Trust in Friends; Learn How to Use Enemies: Friends can turn against you out of envy or entitlement, while enemies have more to prove. Utilize enemies' desire to redeem themselves and gain allies with a common goal.

3. Conceal Your Intentions: Keep your plans and strategies hidden to prevent others from sabotaging them. When people are unsure of your intentions, they are less likely to act against you.

4. Always Say Less Than Necessary: The more you speak, the more likely you are to say something foolish or reveal too much. Being reserved makes you appear more powerful and in control.

5. So Much Depends on Reputation – Guard It With Your Life: Your reputation is your most valuable asset. Protect it fiercely and make sure it aligns with your goals. A strong reputation can open doors and shield you from attacks.

6. Court Attention at All Costs (Law 6): In a world filled with distractions, standing out is crucial. Make yourself noticeable through bold actions and statements, ensuring that you remain in people's minds.

7. Get Others to Do the Work for You, but Always Take the Credit: Use the skills and efforts of others to accomplish your goals while positioning yourself as the one responsible for the success. This strategy allows you to achieve more while conserving your energy.

8. Make Other People Come to You – Use Bait if Necessary: Always make the first move in negotiations or power plays. By creating situations that force others to come to you, you maintain control and leverage.

9. Win Through Your Actions, Never Through Argument: Arguments often lead to resentment and resistance. Instead of trying to convince others with words, demonstrate your point through concrete

Another busy day.....and just as I thought I would relax, I get information that Deputy President, Rigathi Gachagua has instructed the DCI Officers stationed at the official Karen Residence to leave immediately. DCI Officers are part of the Security Detail assigned to top State Officers.
This is yet another shocking act of impunity...😭😭
