The change we need

THE CHANGE WE NEED By Jeff jeff There are two ways to build the tallest building in town. You can either tear down everything else other people are putting up, or you can concentrate to work on your project and others will help you put up the tallest building in town. For those who want quick fix, they go with the first choice, but because you and I want a quick fit we chose the second option. We all want to be like other successful people and communities but the question is, are we willing to do what they did in order to be successful? They all saw the courage, confidence and consistency to be bigger than simply competing with one another for smaller gains in there local area at the expense of bigger gains. We fail because everyone wants to be the only guy at the top. In order to climb up there you may need to stand on someone else shoulders or may need a friend to hold you up there not to fall. If you are the only rich guy in the whole village, your wealth may not last and you may not even enjoy it because everyone looks up on you. Our people will continue to suffer until we know the secret of investing in others. We also can change our way of living by investing in others, by promoting each other and by talking good things about others. If you check your money going out, we spend too much money to strangers and nothing comes back to us. Think about money we spend on auto insurance, telephone bills, and car repairs, home remodeling, cooling and heating, day care, calling cards, computers, hair clinic, nyama mbuzi the list is endless. A portion of this money can come back to us if we buy from a Kenyan business partner. Community empowerment is like a bank account. You keep on depositing so that when a need comes you will have something to withdraw. Let us open an account with someone we know and start depositing.We are like elevators, we can take people up or we can take them down.
