Make sure you score ,Dont just get busy


We can learn alot from sports when it comes to Management . 

These basic stats from World cup 2014 says it all. The team with the most
 passes lifted the trophy.
When Brazil faced Germany , Brazil had 18 shots Germany had 14 ,
 Ball possession Brazil had 51% Germany had 49% , Corners Brazil had 7 Germany
had 5 , Shots on goal Brazil had 13  Brazil were drenched 7 -1. It means while Brazil & other teams players chose to hold on to the ball the Germans were busy passing the ball looking for a path to score.  Germans were more focused on results. At work you could be a busy body coupled with drama but Nil at being effective . It is also clear that the team with the best attack was Brazil which also soaked the most goals in the tournament. As they busy played individual runs and shooting in a wild manner off target they were also exposing themselves then its no wonder the team with most passes hit them 7 -1 . Germans played with passion, full commitment, they were brave, recall Veteran workhorse Mario Schweinsteiger getting stitches as we watched and he came back to play on, Now that is full commitment. There is an old proverb , "If you want to walk fast then walk alone if you want to walk far walk together" . Germany chose to walk as a team, they walked the furthest and were deservedly crowned champions. As a company or a business you have a choice to be a Brazil or Germany. Good luck.

21/06/2016 O n this day I remember the story of a certain young man in Mombasa County, who when in Form 2 stayed out of school for a year due to lack of School fees,he joined his now late father,at that time (mtu wa mjengo) on daily hustles.By the grace of God he managed to go back to high School and finished successfully,thanks to his Dad's encouragement,Baptist Church and friends who donated uniform. As an orphan he took up the big responsibility of leading his two brothers to the promised land.He tried out teaching as an Untrained Teacher - UT at Kiembeni Baptist Primary school.Earning Kes 500 and with only one trouser (Part of his former school uniform) He could not criticize his parents for hoping that he would never experience poverty. Victor Omanyo carrying his daughter Whitney They had been poor themselves, and he had since been poor, and I quite agree with him that it is not an ennobling experience. Poverty entails fear, and stress, and sometimes depression;

What is Willful Ignorance

Image
Willful ignorance  is the state and practice of ignoring any sensory input that appears to contradict one’s inner model of reality.  It differs from the standard definition of “ignorance“ — which just means that one is  unaware  of something — in that willfully ignorant people are fully aware of facts, resources and sources, but refuse to acknowledge them. Indeed, calling someone "ignorant" shouldn’t really be a pejorative, but intentional and  willful  ignorance is an entirely different matter. “We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light.”   ―  Plato In contrast to ordinary of higher ignorance, willful ignorance occurs when a person knows the truth but chooses to ignore it, or the person refuses to abandon false beliefs and pursue the development of further knowledge. According to the Urban Dictionary. willful ignorance is: The practice or act of intentional and blatant avoidance, disreg

Helping the needy

HELPING THE NEEDY IN THE SOCIETY If we choose to use our status and influence to raise our voice on behalf of those who have no voice; if we choose to identify not only with the powerful, but with the powerless; if we retain the ability to imagine ourselves into the lives of those who do not have our advantages, then it will not only be our proud families who celebrate our existence, but thousands and millions of people whose reality we will have helped change. We do not need magic to change the world, we carry all the power we need inside ourselves already: we have the power to imagine better. One of the most widespread and dangerous problems faced by humanity is that of poverty, hunger and starvation. There is nothing more horrifying than the realization that as we live our happy lives here, millions of our fellow human beings live in hunger and face starvation. The majority of the world population today lives in poverty. It is clear that the world system we have set up today is
