Never Give Up

By Kelsik

T

hey say no pain no gain. Regardless of how many times one fails but still having the heart to move on and try again is what differentiates achievers and failures. People who made a mark in this life be it sometime back or now had to withstand the reality of feeling and enduring the pain, frustration, discouragements, insults and even ridicules.

After the storm after comes the calm and this seems to have worked for one of the Malawian musician, Joseph Phungu Nkasa. It took him a long time before people in Malawi recognize that there is a man who answers to the name of Joseph Nkasa. He released about five albums and still he failed to penetrate into the music industry and make a name of himself in the music circles. This man had a big heart and hope that one day he will make it. This paid off when he realized his 6th album. He made a lot sells breaking the record for the first time in his life. He was highest seller in that year. It did not take long when he received a check of MK 1,000,000 as royalty bonuses from Copyright Society of Malawi (COSOMA). Just in a blink, the person who had toiled for almost his whole life became a millionaire in just a short period of time beating other musicians who had made names for themselves but failed to break the record as Nkasa did. He moved from highly populated areas where life is unbearable to low density areas. A man, who did do well in academic circles, was now sharing the same streets in low density areas with well-educated people.

Willingness to move on no matter what happens in most of the times brings good things. From this real story of Joseph Nkasa, we can learn that life does not provide all goodies. One has to be strong to get to levels of excellence. If you fail, look back and see what went wrong and try to find another way out. You might lose the battle but you have not los the war. Be confident in yourself and you will make it. Go out to the world confidently and prove yourself that you are the best.

In the next coming days I will give you stories of people who failed for several times but made it big because of the never give up spirit.

A Brood Of Unprincipled Leaders

By Kelsik
Leadership isn’t the most important thing. It is everything to success. Nations and tribes rise and fall with leadership. Economic, social, and spiritual development and growth all hinge on leadership. How far the nation can go depends on leadership. How generous and wicked a people can depend on leadership Personal development depends also on how one governs and leads his or her life. There will not be progress or regression without the presence of leadership. Change can't happen without leadership. People can complain about bad economic and social conditions all they want, but they will never change for the better without the presence of a good leader.   "A group of ships led by a lion will always defeat an army of lions led by a sheep". From this quote, it can be concluded that with leadership comes everything. The vision, attitude, and character of a leader will determine where the followers will end up. How the followers behave is a direct replication of how th...

TRUST

By Kelsik
TRUST “I just can’t believe that it was you all this time around. How could you do such a thing to me? You have betrayed me. You have let me down!” These could be the words of a man whose heart and trust have been broken by someone he/she trusted. Let us face it, it is hard to come to terms with the reality that the person we trusted with all we had betrayed us. In many cases, people we trust are the ones that betray us or let us down. Look at Peter who was the closest person to Jesus let him down by denying him, Judas plotted against him and handed him over his enemies, spouses cheating on their partners, husbands defiling their baby girls, leaders fails to fulfill their promises they made to their followers, men of God lying to their sheep’s. All these shows us that trust is always broken by the people who were suppose to protect and cover us. Cursed is a man who puts his trust in a man. Why is it so? Because men are, evil and they are filled with selfish ambitions and des...

keep it if you have it but never lose it

By Kelsik
Who in the world does not need it? Presidents, heroes, slaves, pastors, me, you, everybody needs it unless if you are an alien in this part of the living called Earth. This thing makes a person to be complete. Without it, man will always remain incomplete. No wonder we have real cases in our world where by people go beyond the extremes in search for it. Some use magic, prayers, money, lies and power. Some become stupid, fools, idiots and some even kill just for that little thing that man cannot do without. When man fails to get it, what awaits him/her is some creature that wears different ugly faces. Some kill them safes, go mad or become serial killers in short man becomes something else that is completely different from himself/herself. What do you think is the thing I am talking about? I am talking about “LOVE”. People I know like my mother, my uncle, my beloved aunt Mercy, my girlfriend and friends have made sacrifices for me and all the sacrifices were done in the name of love...
