The 8-4-4 education system has had very many intellectuals through school but the Country (Kenya) is still the same. All through the primary education the students are trained to pass the exams, more energy and time is spent on not really learning but cramming in order to pass the exam. Why? Because, if you fail you will not go the next class, you will lag behind, you will be considered stupid. Why not focus all that energy towards critical analysis of the many subjects of education? Instead of training the students to repeat what you told them and mark it as right on the answer sheet, how about the teachers challenging the students to relate what they have learnt in class to their experiences outside school and ask them to write about those experiences in relation to your studies. Our education system locks so many doors of opportunities as far as talent and wider range of open thoughts are concerned. You may have not thought of it this way, maybe the students who passed found it...

Somebody please confirm otherwise. Aren’t we lazy in tackling development issues even with the increasing number of literacy levels in Kenya? It is the African intellectuals who do not dream big and are too lazy to save Africa from the nightmare called 'DEBT' and poor infrastructure and unstable economy. The poor Africans are the most hardworking, who toil and strive to live better lives. The education we cannot stop pursuing only brainwashes us to think white collar jobs, office life, 8 to 5PM job, and when we go to bed we do not dream ‘big’. You the educated African is lazy to think far to a stable Africa, and is selfish, all you want is a car, a mansion, a spouse, and two kids, and you do not give a damn how Agriculture, and tourism has been affected over the years.   We have imprisoned our own selves into silly dreams and are comfortable to live as far as our little dreams. We want the other person to make it a better place and be the first to tell the tale. I...

Today I woke up with sad news about the death of Cory Monteith.  He was found lying dead in his hotel room and the police has confirmed that there was no foul play connected to his death.  Monteith found love with his 'Glee' co-star Lea Michele, one lady that we all loved to watch. She is one lady that completes Glee.  He was so adorable, charming and talented.  He had been fighting drug addiction for a while and had even voluntarily reported to a treatment center with a commitment of getting over drugs. This was a fight that was supported very much with his girlfriend Lea and the rest of the Glee cast. This news is definetely sad but I go to bed with hope that I am alive and indeed need to leave a mark and smiles on the faces of people who cross my path!!! I thank God for the gift of life and the chance to make it right. I was definitely his fan. I would like to wish his family, friends and colleagues peace and good health in this trying time...

Most of the time in all our conversations, our body movement speak more volume of what we feel at that moment than our mouth does. We express if we are engaged in the chat or not unconsciously, and it may pass signal to the other person if they are keen to notice. The signals we send determine how well or wrong the conversation ends. We almost always show with our hands how we feel, whether happy, in control, shy or shaken, it will always show. Amy Cuddy, a social scientist gave a talk on TED and I felt I needed to share this science of body language and how it relates to our communication, social life and relations to others. She is incredible at how she brings out the body language when the least meet the greatest. We all have had or will have an interview at some point in our lives, she gives some tip on how to set your body in preparation for the interview. There is a lot more aspects of life she has touched on, and I hereby share her perspectives of body language in relation...

I have always considered myself a very friendly person, most of us have. Have you ever met someone or people for the first time and immediately mistrusted or thought they were the coolest beings ever? In this captivating documentary the scientists go a step further to explain how we relate easily with others as humans. There is a clear demonstration on how you can tell a genuine smile and otherwise. The most hillarious part is how you can detect if someone you are conversing with is lying or not. I found this mind blowing, and I believe as social beings we need to know such in order to relate well with people anytime. Who likes to be disliked anyway? Also, it is amazing how we can often lie about how people look when they seek our opinion just to be in good terms with them or avoid drama, by reading their minds and telling them exactly what they want to hear. Men score at this all the time....ladies may want to argue. There is a lot more to find out, and I would invite your audie...
