If you bring love
16 Oct 2015
At a certain moment in Nietzsche's life, the ideacame to him of what he called 'the love of your fate.' Whatever your fate is, whatever the heck happens, you say, "This is what I need." It may look like a wreck, but go at it as though it were an opportunity, a challenge.If you bring love to that moment - not discouragement - you will find the strength is there. Any disaster that you can survive is an improvement in your character, your stature, and your life. What a privilege! This is when the spontaneity of your own nature will have a chance to flow. Then, when looking back at your life, you will see that the moments which seemed to be great failures followed by wreckage were the incidents that shaped the life you have now. You'll see that this is really true.Nothing can happen to you that is not positive. Even though it looks and feels at the moment like a negative crisis, it is not.By Joseph Campbell.

Earthly life's journey.
16 Oct 2015
Life is full of trials.It has never been easy.
Those who have been successful in life or made it have endured alot of things to be where they are today.
Scholars,business people, the rich, sports men and women sacrifice alot in order to be where they are.
Their success and victory is the crown they get.
Those who give up early or relax fail to achieve any thing in life.But there are those who have had all their achievements in life go down the drain because they never persisted.
Saints sacrificed alot to be where they are today.
Life is ajourney which all of us travel like pilgrims on amission.Prigrims prepare for their prigrimages.
They must ensure that physically,psychologically,financially and spiritually they are fit otherwise they may never make it as it were to the promised land.
All of us at whichever stage,level ,point and spacecin time we need to stop and reflect on our life's earthly journey.
The ups and downs we face in life are many.They represent themselves to us as challenges and opportunities.
Many times these upa and downs appear to us as success, failures,suffering, pleasures,wealth and poverty.

How to become agreat social media influencer.
15 Oct 2015
When you are used to writing about aparticular topic onfacebook,changeof topic will earn you afew or perhaps no comments at all.That is an observation I made this morning.Ever since I joined facebook,I have never written any article about sports.Reading an article about sports from my timeline would be asign that my account was hacked.As ablogger,I usually find it hectic to manage some typesof websites simply because I may not add enough value to asports website or even manage afashion blog yet it would be the opposite when it comes to websites that focus on fields like empowerment and personal development.At atime I thought of starting awebsite,My concentrationwas all about money and yet fields that would get earn the website traffic easily were in areas of entertainment.And that's why Iam building up anice team of writers.Social media management is what we do under astart up company called Smedia Brand.You will witness the brand we always talk about the day we launch our website.
Be blessed.

OPEN LETTER TO MUSEVENI-- From Kanungu.
14 Oct 2015
Ladies and gentlemen, I will address Mr. Museven as His Excellency because he is the president of this country, other than that, “Their Excellences” honor their words, they are genuine, they have a sense of direction, and do not forget easily something that Kanungu people, and even many more Ugandans are still waiting for. I am scribing this information for you to digest about the dishonesty you have exhibited in the last 30years of your NRM rule.Let me veritably assert that there is no unpropitious agenda in this idea, there are only drops of blood oozingfrom our dear hearts to the most inner conscience of ourselves. There is no doubt that we have been either lied to intentionally or ignored with absolute impunity or dealt with somebody who appreciates less.Your Excellency, how many times have you vocalized that Rukungiri-Kanungu road is going to be tarmacked? Gallant Ugandans, we all know that the president is never the minister of transport; neither is he the UNRA boss. He is also not any official specialized in works and such field as far as construction of roads is concerned. However we are all aware of his role in construction of such infrastructure.On many occasions therefore, he has travelled to kanungu, those who are older than me tell me in legends that you have trekked there since you captured power by use of ruheekuura bazeire - the gun.What is more worrying, annoying and appalling to the apex is the shadow naked promise of having that road constructed. Your Excellency, do you still remember thecircumstances that led to the construction of Ntungamo-Rukungiri road? Wasn’t it the same reason for the abolition of graduated tax? Our point is that you should not construct the road as a way of campaigning but rather as the noble responsibility of the governmentto its honorable citizens.The beautiful scenery of Rutenga hills, the melodic view of the Great Bwindi National park- the home of powerful Gorillas, the hard labored for tea plantations and a number of Tea factories, the amazing coffee harvest, the flowing sacks of rice, the Great Lakes Regional University, and a cascade of other untellable ventures all justify the transport need.Fellow Ugandans, Kanungu town is 403kms away from kampala. This means it can take only 5hours and 30minutes for a vehicle travelling at 80km/hr to reach kanungu town. In December 2012, I boarded I bus together with other Kanungu faithful from Kisenyi bus park at 7:30pm expecting to reach kanungu at 2:00am ifthe bus travelled at the earlier stated speed. It was on that night that I challenged people who only sheepishly say that you brought peace to prove that that peace wasnot a tool to tear our beloved country into pieces. I reached home on the next day at 2pm burying my shame for failing to keep time for a given appointment. Idon’t know whether the people I left at Katabushera hill reached to their respective dear homes.After promising us 1000times, putting the road in the budget 10,000times, and involving in topsy-turvy ululations, the only gift you have given to us is to always take selfish, myopic, moronic, cretinous and pig-appetite local leaders and extend a hand of treachery through brown envelopes at places of Rwakitura, state House, Kyankwanzi, to mention but a few. I don’t know how much has been so for given to individuals who come to those places on buses dancing Kalipso negotiating the enengo rough corners and through the unprecedented potholes. What am sure of is that that money is more than much billions of Uganda’s tax payer’s blood-sweated tax.What then is the use of the theory of Musevenism to a Kanunguan?Do you say infrastructure development is a privilege nota responsibility?We are actually not saying that give us a road and we give you votes, not that. If that was the case, then even toilet paths in Kanungu would be tarmac because you have always won there.It is high time you honor you words and be genuine because it is shameful to conclude the same way I started.I therefore energetically call upon all Ugandans, Kanunguans, brothers and sisters to always reject, refuse and rebuff all kinds of exploitation in any way of living as refugees in our own Pearl of Africa.Remember the slogan NO ROAD, NO VOTE. Why not? Let’s take it. If a person pays you in a given currency, pay back in the same currency.I LOVE UGANDA, My country.JOHN VIANNY(President MAPSA)

By Emmanuel Kobea.
You see, when you were an Undergrad; you always envisioned graduating and working in your dream office. Sitting behind marble-paneled office desk, sipping coffee and the likes. Though you might not be there yet; try excelling in the # smallthings you have in your hands.Maybe, you graduated like a friend of mine # firstClassinEconomics but because of how terrible things are, you teach at a Private school and receives GHS 70.00 monthly!I want to assure you that try to excell there, those seemingly insignificant things can thrust you forward.Have a positive attitude. Work hard. Believe in something bigger than yourself. Jesus is walking around your neighbourhood. Work behind the scene for a greatmeal, He's coming for dinner!

By Kirungi Immaculate,C/P NGINETWORK Bishop Comboni College Kambuga.
My purpose on this earth is to counsel peoplewith different problems because God createdus in one image and wants us to help each other.I advise my fellow youth members that“Happiness doesnt mean that there are no problems but is away of solving them” I am entitled to help my fellow students who dont have needs to use in class during school time,I will continue advising my fellow youth to always go to church on praising days and avoid bad peer groups.
I also advise the youth that if they have any problem,they should try to bring happiness to them selves.I pray to God the almight that he gives me the gift of loving andhelping.
MayGod bless every one in whatever he or she aspires to accomplish.KIRUNGI IMMACULATE.

The big questions.
13 Oct 2015
Martin Luther King Jr said,Our lives begin to end the moment we keep silent about things that matter.Yes,he was right.let us now look at how we can cub down the pro lem of un employment.I begin with afew questions.1.Is going to better Universities the right solution?
2.Can it be solved by taking the right courses?3
.Do you think sitting and blaming thegovernment will solve the problem?According to me,we have to change our mindsets.That isyour task.In other countries,it is possible forstudents torun businesses while still in school unlike in Uganda where people think it is arisk.I sometimes wonder,how comes most of entreprenuership teachers have no businesseson their own yet they teach us how to start up businesses?
How can someone who has never fallen in love lecture his collegues how to handle relationships?How comes we are taughthow things operate instead ofhow they are made?
So many questions.I need your views.
In need of your help.
