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.

THE MAGIC WORDS

By Kelsik
It a beautiful sunny day, clear clouds, birds sing, kids playing, it was just such a wonderful day until we heard a horrendous scream of a woman. We dropped everything we were doing and ran towards where the scream was coming from. We discovered that the heartbreaking scream and crying was coming not far from where we were. We arrived at the scene only to find a woman helplessly on the ground covered in dirty and an ocean of tears rolling down her cheeks. Her sight was so somber, heartbreaking and very frightening that it made our eyes watery before we could even understand why she was crying. We inquired from her what the problem was, she didn’t respond in words but she just pointed at a window just above her. We went closer to the window to see what really made this woman so broken and helpless. What we saw was so heart crushing, shocking, unbelievable and very painful. It was such a horrifying sight that made us shade a tear upon taking a gazing only once. It was very confu...

ANGER

By Kelsik
The phone rung three times in her office and she picked it up. At the other end of the line, a strange female voice answered, “please rush to Queens Hospital your daughter is here and she is seriously injured!” Before she could ask who she was talking to the line was cut. In her confused state, she rushed to the hospital and when she got there, she only found a corpse of her daughter lying on the mortuary bed. She died just a few minutes before she arrived. Liz was her beloved second-born child who only turned sixteen a few days before she died the most horrified and gruesome death. She had a deep cut in her skull and another one on the left side of her face. The beloved daughter was hacked to death by the very same person who was supposed to be her protector, provider, and shield. She lost her life in the hands of her own father! Upon seeing the body of her dead child she collapsed and fainted consequently she stayed in the hospital for the next two weeks and she missed the fune...

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...
