Comment on Crossroads in my career path by Naomie

Naomie — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 06:28:55 +0000

Stepping out into your own business is a different kind of brave, that most of us lack so you are already a step ahead of the rest of us who still long to go into our own businesses. I think your only problem is you are lacking some faith. The minute you start worrying about little things like what people are thinking about you and whether or not your pitches are boring them the list will be endless. You also have to realise that you don’t know everything so there’s a lot of learning on the way, but they are mere stumbles which you can do you research on or find someone who knows. Unfortunately businesses take time to grow and you should accord it the necessary time, it won’t happen overnight, no business ever became successful overnight.

Comment on What Happened To Kenyan Men? by Naomie

Naomie — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 09:58:43 +0000

mmmmh depressing to read but most likely the story of most girls be they up country or in Nairobi. Yes the constitution does say that the man shall be liable for supporting the baby mama. Now as to wether kawaida wananchi read the constitution to find out what their rights are, that’s another issue. Is it out of ignorance, lack of interest? Women and girls simply do not know their rights, some have no idea FIDA exists. To remain clueless as women shall be to remain in suffering as women, and that is the brutal truth.

Wow….. I see this everyday… everytime I turn around… in my former friends’ marriages (because I cannot honestly stand to be around anyone who thinks they need to justify every wrong and they can never be wrong anyway). A soft word, an apology has almost always turned away anger. Total communication breakdown here, and someone pretending to be who they are not. I could substitute every she for he and still find someone to fit the mould. Why can’t we ever learn to communicate, to love unconditionally, to appreciate when we have a good thing, and to always remember that in a marriage my spouse comes first?

PS. cyiengi.. note that the boy was driving his car around the block… which is exactly what he needs to be doing at that age. Play is another way of learning. The toy car gets spoilt he fixes it, his sister’s doll gets broken he fixes that too. And I will tell you in today’s world because of that extra attention to the girl child which implies no chores because she is too little, underprivileged blah, blah blah… the girl child is equally unprepared for life in the real world. My definition of a clande- a girl who is too lazy to work her way up from the bottom and wants to start from the top like Vaseline Hair Tonic.

I still say its important that we see things as they really are. Stop the blame game. How come there are boys and girls who come from absolutely horrific backgrounds and yet they make it in life. Life is about the choices we make. (please note I said we… so me included). You can decide because your daddy was a good-for-nothing drunk you will be one too and start yourself straight on the way to your own personal hell; or you can decide that you will be nothing like him; and start yourself off on a road whose only way is up. Or you can decide because your mama was a mean, foul mouthed, idiot you are going to be exactly like her or decide to be a wonderful mum to your kids. The choice is individual. Not every child brought up in a loving nurturing environment turns out to be a loving and nurturing adult; and not every child that is brought up in a brutal environment turns out to be a brute. Sure upbringing has something to do with it but the ultimate choice is IN YOUR HANDS!!. “As a man thinketh, so is he”

I think we all should take responsibility for the society turning out as it is… lumping it all on one gender is rather drastic, I dare say. What about some of our mothers who either maligned or belittled those very fathers, so that they really felt devalued? Granted, you can choose to rise above social and environmental factors but there are cases where the ladies have been quite harsh with the gents.
On the other hand, would it really matter who played gentler with the other sex if in the long run we turn out better? Who’s going to choose to be the maturer one and give out gentility to these men/women…we’d be surprised what compassion and understanding can make of someone…

Poor Misunderstood Kenyan man!!!! Are you kidding me? You were right am one of those women who are going to stone you. So what if the Clande is eying his wallet? Boo Hoo. The way I see it, it all comes back to the men, if they had been better fathers, then this problem would never have come up in the first place.

Mwesh, glad to have you join the conversation. Its a scene that plays out ever so often in many facets of life…we just need to be shown what and how to manage these aspects of life…

Hey rouze,
I hear you…good to see both sides of the coin. Yet, I realise though that the girl-child has received lots more attention over time, yet the menfolk are lapsing behind in social skills and development because we feel they should just know what’s required of them. Women have always had a head start early in life…playing with dolls, make-believe marriages etc., while that young lad is still diving his small car around the block oblivious of what’s coming his way in another 15-20 years or so…he will be a husband to a lady who learnt some ropes earlier and who also has expectations of being attended to and understood. Seems like quite a tall order for this guy who may not even have a clue,since all he read were school textbooks and the daily newspaper…none of our romance novels,soaps etc. So you can imagine his disillusionment with all these expectations around him..

Hmmmm food for thought indeed, but are we forgetting that the working woman also has a bad day in the office, a sulking techie to deal with, children’s homework, certain in laws (not all thank God) who have not a single good word to say about her, as well as this unfaithful husband to deal with. The whole society is crumbling because everybody thinks the world owes them something!! The world owes nobody nothing… and its time everybody realized that. BOTH women and men must help each other along. Its time we all started to look at the bright side of life. Your problems are not bigger than mine just because you are a man. Neither are my problems bigger than yours because I am a woman. If we both have one foot we can support each other along this path called life.
And many may think this last line is stupid but its true, with God walking with us we can handle a whole lot; the three of us puling together are an unbeatable team!!

Comment on Integrity by cyiengi

cyiengi — Thu, 26 May 2011 10:27:13 +0000

Interesting observation Mwende…
That movie I must watch…”the invention of lying”? mhhh…. I believe when people know what to get from you it makes it easier relating with you. The goalposts dont keep shifting…quicksand is a challenging place to try and maintain any stability. Integrity makes our word solid..granted, we dont always keep it sometimes but at least lets try working at being consistent…

Hi Mwende,
Its amazing how human emotion can play such havoc on relationships… Am glad about your feedback. Many times we just need the tools or someone believing in us enough for us to open up to the truth of what’s really going on beneath the surface. Life is never a straight path; the curve balls come in a flurry or at a lazy pace. preparation is the key…commitment and flexibility will usually make it easier to manouevre.

Female and male sexes were not created to understand each other, they never have and never will, really its just one of those things you let slide because it is as it is. What would have been the fun in creating just one sex? Don’t generalise, instead work on an individual basis its more ideal.

Cazz,
Like you i don’t believe the sexes should hate each other especially if its on the basis of misunderstandings due to backward behavior by either gender

i think the key lies in what type of an individual one is before they enter into a relationship. This will help determine what type of people one attracts and will also filter out unacceptable behavior in a relationship

Somebody finally wrote what I have been saying all along… Men …. not all ladies are lazy, money hungry, mean B*****es and Ladies … not all men are dogs. Both genders deserve to be treated better. Ladies: don’t spend all your time in chamas and church, Men: don’t spend all your time with chums and booze. And by the way… women do have brains; and they do follow politics and they do read papers. Stop treating each other like the enemy, or the baby; we are all grown ups; start acting like it!!!
