The village or the city?

There are more opportunities in the village than in the city.  Sounds impractical... I know. I also thought it did.

I have been spending my holiday season in the village and I have done a lot of observation around.

People here are making 150,000 a month and more and you are busy in Nairobi earning way less or even jobless.

Don't begin saying the land here is fertile and no it is not maize or flower farming. I'm talking about Machakos county. Water is scarce here and the land is not as fertile as that in Rift valley or Central but people are making it.

There is chicken farming, goat keeping, greenhouses and fruit farming. All these require very little capital to begin and have good earnings.

Big houses have been built, children educated and plenty of investments made from these incomes.

You will be shocked to see the live styles people are living. The city lifestyles cannot even compare.

I think it is time we reconsider. The city or the village? For me, it is the village any day any time.

Indulge yourself, don't just sit there!

Dream again. Am sure you have heard it countless times. Well, it's because it only makes sense to say it over and over again.

Everyday our hopes die for one dream, and the next day millions of dreams arise about so many other different things.

Today am dreaming about owning a hotel business, tomorrow i might be dreaming about the transport sector or import and export. All these are new possibilities that I might venture in. And tomorrow I will have new and better ideas.

Don't just sit there having a pity party. Try one of those ideas in your head, they just might work! And if they don't, you can always dream again, then try again!

This world is full of endless possibilities, indulge yourself. Don't just sit there!
