Take sometime and be with your loved ones

A moment with family

SON: "Daddy, may I ask you a question?"
DAD: "Yeah sure, what is it?"
SON: "Daddy, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "That's none of your business. Why do you ask such a thing?"
SON: "I just want to know. Please tell me, how much do you make an hour?"
DAD: "If you must know, I make $100 an hour."
SON: "Oh! (With his head down).
SON: "Daddy, may I please borrow $50?"
The father was furious.
DAD: "If the only reason you asked that is so you can borrow some money to buy a silly toy or some other nonsense, then you march yourself straight to your room and go to bed. Think about why you are being so selfish. I work hard everyday for such this childish behavior."

The little boy quietly went to his room and shut the door.
The man sat down and started to get even angrier about the little boy's questions. How dare he ask such questions only to get some money?
After about an hour or so, the man had calmed down, and started to think:
Maybe there was something he really needed to buy with that $ 50 and he really didn't ask for money very often. The man went to the door of the little boy's room and opened the door.

DAD: "Are you asleep, son?"

SON: "No daddy, I'm awake".
DAD: "I've been thinking, maybe I was too hard on you earlier. It's been a long day and I took out my aggravation on you. Here's the $50 you asked for."

The little boy sat straight up, smiling.
SON: "Oh, thank you daddy!"
Then, reaching under his pillow he pulled out some crumpled up bills. The man saw that the boy already had money, started to get angry again. The little boy slowly counted out his money, and then looked up at his father.

DAD: "Why do you want more money if you already have some?"

SON: "Because I didn't have enough, but now I do.

"Daddy, I have $100 now. Can I buy an hour of your time? Please come home early tomorrow. I would like to have dinner with you."
The father was crushed. He put his arms around his little son, and he begged for his forgiveness. It's just a short reminder to all of you working so hard in life. We should not let time slip through our fingers without having spent some time with those who really matter to us, those close to our hearts. Do remember to share that $100 worth of your time with someone you love? If we die tomorrow, the company that we are working for could easily replace us in a matter of days. But the family and friends we leave behind will feel the loss for the rest of their lives. And come to think of it, we pour ourselves more into work than to our family.

Some things are more important.

Live Your Life

Stop forcing someone to remember you all the time. Stop crying for someone’s attention and care. Stop pleading for someone to treat you in a special way. Stay silent and let them realize how they will be without you in their life. If they miss you then they’ll contact you and if they love you as they claim then they’ll put in some effort to prove it. And if they don’t do anything about it, then just know that you’ve been treating them as your priority yet they’re treating you as their option, a leisure time friend or lover.

MASENO UNIVERSITY HITS13.

Maseno University will be celebrating its 13^th batch of graduates since inception and on the same releasing them to face the harsh realities of the world in December, this year.

This will apply to all students from all schools except from the school of medicine which is the newest school to be established in the seasoned Institution.

The school which is under the stewardship of Professor Wilson Odero as the dean, is harbored with a team of medical professionals and practitioners and, is accredited by the Dentists board to offer medical training and specialization in Kenya.

The school currently offers Bachelor of Medicine and Bachelor of Surgery (MBChB) with Information Technology degree programme.

The MBChB degree programme is offered on a full time basis for a time span of six academic years which are further divided in three semesters. Also, the curriculum is classified into three levels; Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 which guide the students in their learning process.

Level 1, in the 1^st and 2^nd years of study introduces the learning of the Normal structure and functions of the human body; Level 2, in the 3^rd year revolves around Pathology and Psychopathology; and Level 3, in the 4^th to the 6^th year stresses on clinical management of patients with different disorders.

Lack of health facilities and medical practitioners in the region pushed for the establishment of the school which was regarded to be pivotal and sentimental towards the growth of the University as a whole, Western and Nyanza regions and the country to the extreme.

Its first batch of graduands, who will graduate in 2016, will be equipped with adequate knowledge, skills, professional attitudes and competence in clinical care, community health and tropical medicine to provide quality service in Kenya, regionally and beyond.

In addition, they will be armed to carry out health researches, and play a significant role in generating new ideologies through prospective research into molecular and cellular aspects of diseases through clinical care and to disease prevention.

Previously, Maseno University was rated the best Public University Nationwide in Web metrics after University of Nairobi (UoN) and brags offering its courses with Information Technology (IT) to the large demographic figure of its students.

Community Outreach Programme

Saturday ,19^th October 2013 remains one of the outstanding milestones in my lifetime. A day that I managed to engage one on one with less fortunate and isolated groups in the community; among them being people infected and affected by HIV .My visit to Maisha orphans and widows in the suburbs of Kisumu city was not only an inspiration to the children but also a motivation to my destiny; A realization that whatever little you have as charity to a colleague, it remains a lifetime treasure to one’s destiny. I’ll take a moment to share with you some of the photos we took while there. Some of the snapshots speak eloquently of the woes and fiasco facing the less fortunate in such a set up and perhaps any other setting the world over. Such huddles are universal and this arises from the fact that in case of their occurrence, we are affected either directly or indirectly. It is therefore worth noting that we do not have an African problem, we do not have an Asian problem, we don’t have a European or American problem; we have problems affecting the destinies of mankind all over the world. Therefore, it is paramount to strive to make a positive change in the destinies of man. We are one as a family irrespective of our geographical incongruity,

Take this from me: there is much we need to learn from such people. I’m obliged to buy the idea that one might never acknowledge the significance of a character, possession, asset etc. until such a time when he or she finds it unavailable. You owe a great aspect of gratitude to the Almighty no matter what you are going through. It’s a personal finding through observation and any criticism is welcome.

We are in a society tied with various vices. We are the change we need, the transformation we need, the inspiration we need and yes the source of our very own self-satisfaction. Let us strive to leave our niche of existence in a better state than we found it.

Let us all and sundry arise for the betterment of our very own lives and destinies of mankind all over.

Acknowledge blessings

January 2, 2013 at 2:00am

I dreamed that I went to Heaven and an angel was showing me around. We walked side-by-side inside a large workroom filled with angels. My angel guide stopped in front of the first section and said, ' This is the Receiving Section. Here, all petitions to God said in prayer are received. '

I looked around in this area, and it was terribly busy with so many angels sorting out petitions written on voluminous paper sheets and scraps from people all over the world.

Then we moved on down a long corridor until we reached the second section.

The angel then said to me, ' This is the Packaging and Delivery Section. Here, the graces and blessings the people asked for are processed and delivered to the living persons who asked for them. ' I noticed again how busy it was there. There were many angels working hard at that station, since so many blessings had been requested and were being packaged for delivery to Earth.

Finally at the farthest end of the long corridor we stopped at the door of a very small station. To my great surprise, only one angel was seated there, idly doing nothing. ' This is the Acknowledgment Section, ' my angel friend quietly admitted to me. He seemed embarrassed ' How is it that there is no work going on here? ' I asked.

'So sad, ' the angel sighed. ' After people receive the blessings that they asked for, very few send back acknowledgments. '

'How does one acknowledge God 's blessings? ' I asked.

'Simple, ' the angel answered. Just say, ' Thank you, Lord. '

'What blessings should they acknowledge? ' I asked.

'If you have food in the refrigerator, clothes on your back, a roof overhead and a place to sleep you are richer than 75% of this world. If you have money in the bank, in your wallet, and spare change in a dish, you are among the top 8% of the world 's wealthy. '

'And if you get this on your own computer, you are part of the 1% in the world who has that opportunity. '

'If you woke up this morning with more health than illness ... You are more blessed than the many who will not even survive this day. '

'If you have never experienced the fear in battle, the loneliness of imprisonment, the agony of torture, or the pangs of starvation ... You are ahead of 700 million people in the world. '

'If you can attend a church without the fear of harassment, arrest, torture or death you are envied by, and more blessed than, three billion people in the world. '

'If your parents are still alive and still married ..you are very rare.'

'If you can hold your head up and smile, you are not the norm, you ' re unique to all those in doubt and despair. '

Ok, what now? How can I start?

If you can read this message, you just received a double blessing in that someone was thinking of you as very special and you are more blessed than over two billion people in the world who cannot read at all.

Have a good day, count your blessings, and if you care to, pass this along to remind everyone else how blessed we all are
