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.

SUDDEN DEATH

By Vincent Kumwenda
I have heard, read or witnessed suicide deaths before but it had never happened to a close friend or relative.But the recent death of my friend who chose to take away his life has had a big effect on my life. It has taught me a very important lesson that i will try not to forget. Sam had just graduated from one of the constituent colleges of the University of Malawi with a degree in Electrical Engineering. He was a very intelligent friend who i adored since our primary school days. He was just brilliant beyond explanation. He got born again in secondary and was active in youth fellowships. We all knew we had a strong member, advisor and a role model. He openly said that was a virgin even at 25 years and wanted to maintain that until he met his life partner. The unfortunate thing happened when he joined a group of friends for a workshop at Lunzu Trading Centre. We are told that he was convinced to sleep with a prostitute. (I don't know how one managed to convince him to do such a th

Oh! I should have known!

W hen you dance to the devil’s tune, on a devil’s dancing floor and you dance with the devil himself never expect that he will change his dancing steps to yours but rather he will change you. You can never be in control in a devils castle. One would ask how does one end up dancing with the devil in the first place? First, he traces your mind and gets to your weakest area from where he sits down and opens a very powerful and effective workshop. He works in your mind and corrupts it. What happens next is the changing of a man from better to worse. What remains of him/her is a shadow of the former person he/she was. Then people will start to wonder what has happened to the man. Questions they would ask but answers they will not find. Trying to trace the origin of the sudden change of the person, you will find out that there is a parasite living in the person. I know you are wondering, what is up with the devil’s issue? Yeah, it is just a figurative description of people who are undeserv

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
