Do We Care?
I was recently told that a mother and her two kids died last weekend after being hit by a vehicle as they tried to cross Mombasa Road. Ever since Mombasa road was expanded (towards Athi) and recarpeted, it has become a death trap. The Standard has a story on this. The main danger spots are [...]

non-situational integrity
I wonder how many people in Kenya, particularly those in positions of leadership practice non-situational integrity. Here is what Dr Dennis Waitley has to say on this.

Money or Life?
I’ve been reading about Money!

It’s probably not too new to everyone but I did not know about it until this morning. Lots of podcasts available from institutions like MIT (MIT OpenCourseWare), University of Carlifornia Berkeley. Visit the iTunes store (using iTunes of course ) and look for the iTunes U link.

CashFlow 101
I played CashFlow® 101 yesterday for the first time with friends. I must say it is quite an entertaining game yet at the same time a learning experience. It took us a bit of time to get up and running as we all had to understand the rules of the game. Too bad we did [...]

Learning: Ruby
Stephen Covey says that one’s current knowledge has a half life of 2 years at most. Dennis Waitley goes on and on about dedicating oneself to ‘Life Long Learning‘.
