CONNECTING THE DOTS


"You can`t connect the dots looking forward ,you can only connect them looking  backwards..." -Steve Jobs address at the Stanford University commencement  address (2005 ).Such a humble man and risk taking visionary .I have learnt through the life of Steve that only the risk takers succeed in life ,they allow themselves to be tested and to break new grounds.Many times we want to hold on to that which we know and are exposed to.This way we never learn new things.We never contribute to the discovery of new things  that will benefit generations  and help us to reach our self actualization. I today challenge you to live your life knowing that trying is the mainstay of success and failure is a barometer for measuring your efforts . www.njabulomoyo.blogspot.com

This surpasses the desire for money or any gain whatsoever!Money cannot buy you a vision but a clear vision can get you money.

WHICH OLIVER ARE YOU?

Many a times people  make us feel like we are just but some 21st Century living version of Charles Dickens Oliver Twist .Always asking for more and never getting out of the poverty trap. This happens because we tend to live life focusing on the problems and challenges that come with it .When we are imprisoned by dire circumstances we lose confidence and behave more like desperate naïve individuals whose lives are just but like reeds shaken by the wind for fear closes our eyes, failure shuts us out from the world of success and poverty enslaves our minds .Open your eyes and you will realise that you have the potential to be respected like Oliver Mtukudzi (international icon and renowned Zimbabwean musician) and the power to be celebrated like Oliver Tambo (a South African liberation hero and a champion of democracy and equality ).The  are some many Oliver`s out there and all of us have the potential to be the best Oliver and this we can achieve by occupying time ...

Gender What?

No to gender based violence, No to victimization of women , Violence victimizes, It vindicates , It is like a vehicle of emotional roller coasters An act of animosity A reflection national immorality Why murder a women ? Why bruise her face? Deforming her beauty burn her heart Painting it with permanent scars Dark spots of fear Drown her in a flood of blood Who are you to kill God`s creation? Who are you to raise your shameless fist To kick her like a soccer ball Keep your balls to yourself Unzipping your trousers Raping and roping You are such an imperfection You man with no sense of pride All you do is to ride on patriarch Ride on women's weaknesses Violence turns victims into perpetrators  It breeds a brood of vipers From Peace in the Home We bring Peace in the World: Challenging Militarism  End Violence Against Women!    NO TO VIOLENCE YES TO TOLERANCE VIVA !! ...
