Feed Your Mind For your mind to be happy and healthy, it needs to be well fed. You spend your whole life learning, but it’s important to direct all that lifelong education the right way. The fact is that your choice of education already got you to a certain point, but that doesn’t mean that you have to develop only a certain skillset. Besides, you can’t know if you’re any good at something if you don’t try it, which is why my sincere suggestion is to experiment and spend your life trying out new things that look fun and exciting. As far as I’m concerned, and as many great minds have agreed, reading is a gateway to happiness. Skillfully written books allow you to take a place of another person and they help you develop an understanding for the world and those who differ from you. Take Care of Your Body A fortress that keeps your health safe, your body is a very important factor that will determine your happiness. The quality of your lifestyle does depend on the numbers on your ba

Being a young entrepreneur definitely has its advantages, but there are also downsides. Telling your friends and parents about your venture will be one of the many hurdles you face as a young entrepreneur. As a young founder, particularly at a non-technical startup, it’s extraordinarily tough to earn credibility. In a people-facing business where you’re often relying on first impressions to succeed, it’s even more difficult. Although age is just a number, it does pose a variety of challenges for budding entrepreneurs. Here are some of the greatest adversities and how to overcame them: 1. Being taken seriously. Alot of people won’t just believe you can deliver . The trick is to never give anyone a reason to think you can’t do it. As a young entrepreneur, you have to work harder to prove yourself. You’ll never be perfect, and you will make mistakes along the way. Fail gracefully, learn from your mistakes and address them with maturity. Confidence, coupled with unwavering humilit

Source/Crosswalk By NAIROBI NEWS REPORTER There is one character trait that the Nairobi man hates in a woman – nagging. But findings of an interesting new study however suggest that the Nairobi man may be backing up the wrong tree. According to scientific research by sociologists from Michigan State University in the US, a nagging wife is good for a man’s health. This quashes that popular belief that marriage, because of the stresses that come with it, is detrimental to a man’s health. For the study, the researchers looked into the lives of 1218 married study subjects over a period of five years. All the study subjects were between the ages of 57 and 85 at the beginning of the study. The aim of the study was to look into the effect of marital quality on the risk and management of diabetes. Men in unhappy marriages were found to be less likely to develop diabetes than men in happy marriages. When the former group of men developed diabetes, they were found to be able

NYS theft suspect Josephine Kabura at the anti-graft offices in the past. By JOHN NGIRACHU The National Youth Service scandal was worse — a lot worse — than initially thought, the auditor-general has found out. The conspiracy to defraud the Government, and the taxpayer, was much broader and targeted the theft of Sh3.5 billion released in a supplementary Budget. And the woman most closely identified with the scandal, Ms Josephine Kabura Irungu, was paid Sh1.29 billion and not Sh791 million as initially thought. In all, a total of Sh1.86 billion was lost, according to the findings of the Auditor-General, Mr Edward Ouko. Ms Kabura operated 11 companies which received the money in fraudulent circumstances. She was set to receive another Sh695.4 million from the NYS but the payment was stopped, the Auditor-General says in a report tabled in Parliament on Tuesday. In most of the cases, the companies were barely two months old, had no prior dealings with NYS, were not pre-q
Photo/I stock photos By NJOKI CHEGE I swear this is the last time I am writing about sponsors. Please, don’t turn the page. I will be as brief as I can be. Okay, last week, I called out the dirty old men, the sponsors who will not give pretty young things like me time to breath. I thought I was doing all of us a favour by being the moral police but alas! I was met with vitriol, and told to mind my own business. I was told that this sponsor business is the in-thing right now, and I should sit at my corner and return to insulting bloggers. NUGGETS OF ADVICE Anyway, I thought today, I should give these sponsors a little advice, seeing as I am the representative of all city girls in this town. I thought I should give the sponsors nuggets of advice given the increasing number of sponsors dying in the line of duty. Dear sponsors, listen to me, I am only going to say this just once. Your mistress or sponsoree is not your wife. She is not your property and you do not o
