Changes… a positive change, yes we can.

Kichwangumu, DSM.

We are about to close the chapters in 2009, and start a new year 2010 in few days to come. You can ask yourself, what have you done in 2009? Some will compliment themselves with different achievements as meet deadlines, meet goals and objectives etc etc. But if you analyze how you achieve these deadlines, goals and objective you will understand where you went wrong and what changes that you need to do for the future.

Today I will discuss with you generally about changes that we need to do to our lives, and change the way we use to leave. It is my dream that this change will affect positively your life as a person, as a family, as a society and eventually the whole nation.

We should all think of this positively and bring some serious change to ourselves. We need these changes in our life in every stage. In our offices, businesses, families, societies and the nation as a whole.

We all know ourselves and how capable we are, what we can do right, what we can do wrong, and what we can do to please our hearts, and make us feel good and everything is okay… This is not the change I’m referring to… What I mean is the change that will make us do the right thing very right and positively. We can change as Obama campaigns slogan ‘change we can’ and those who believe him, they join him and did it… believe me, ‘CHANGE’ you can…. A positive change to your life and this change will affect your life and the nation in general.

This is a very right time, and its only now that you can start it with change in years from 2009 to 2010; please start thinking how to change your life. I have some suggestions down here:-

ü  At Work place, change the way you work so that everybody around there will be attracted to it, make your subordinates admire what you do and how you do it, be creative. Let those who appraise you understand your creativity plans, and please plan it professionally and make sure the plans are achievable.

ü  For decision makers, please be positive. We understand you have your goals to meet but also you are managing human beings, not machines that you regulate as and when you want. Please share some of these plans and goals, take some advice on how to meet these goals, discuss (team work)… apply those modern management techniques you have them shelved!!! And this change will be possible. Remember, nothing will be achievable on one sided. Everybody has to play his/her part, and make sure you play your part not only right, but positively. This is what will differentiate you from being a boss and became a leader… yes a good leader that your subordinates will always admire.

ü  At home, understand that everybody who is there has a purpose. Don’t ignore anyone. Understand everybody’s needs, if possible discuss with them and agree on goals and how to achieve them. Let everybody be part of the house mission, and then work it out.

ü  For politicians as well. Stop lying and fooling everybody as if this country belongs to you and you only, stop making people feel that they are supposed to work for you! You might have bought some influential personnel, resources, and ideas that you believe they will work out your type of change, YOU ARE VERY WRONG! People need some serious positive change to your plans which will affect Tanzanians positively. We all know the current state of politics in our country (ufisadiz, rushwa and the kind, hata Mzee wetu Rais Mstaafu Alhaji Ali Hassan Mwinyi ‘Mzee Ruksa’ ameongea… tusisubiri mpaka bubu aongee, hapatatosha!!!), we are all responsible for the future of our land, Tanzania. It’s the right time now moving to New Year 2010, towards general election. Do your part, register and vote in 2010 general elections. Select the right candidate who will bring positive change to this country, let’s break the chain. Change, we can.

ü  In your business, at community activities, at our praying houses, everywhere we belong. Let’s change it to become the place we like and let others like it more. By doing that you will be doing you part of positive change that is possible and the results will affect yourself, your family, society and the nation in general. Please be supportive, bring this positive change that is possible.

ü  Last but not least, may I wish you all a Merry X-mass and a happy and prosperous new year 2010.

Letter from Banta Singh of Punjab to Bill Gates...

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,
 
We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems which I want to bring to your notice.

1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.

2. One doubt is whether any 're-scooter' is available in system? I find only 're-cycle', but I own a scooter at my home place.

3. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this 'find 'button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

4. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when will you provide that?

5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer': when will you provide the remaining items?

6. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

7. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.

8. You provided 'My Recent Documents' When you will provide 'My Past  Documents'?

9. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office  hours.

Regards,

Banta from punjab.

p.s: Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but you are selling WINDOWS?????

'Acidifying oceans' threaten food supply, UK warns

By Richard Black
Environment correspondent, BBC News website, Copenhagen

Acidification of the oceans affects marine life

Acidification of the oceans is a major threat to marine life and humanity's food supply, Hilary Benn is to warn as the UN climate summit resumes.

The UK environment secretary will say that acidification provides a "powerful incentive" to cut carbon emissions.

Ocean chemistry is changing because water absorbs extra CO2 from the air.

Some believe this could be as big an impact of rising CO2 levels as climatic change, though it is rarely discussed within the UN climate convention.

The UN summit in Copenhagen, which started a week ago, is scheduled to conclude on Friday, when more than 100 world leaders will attend in an effort to agree a new global treaty on climate change.

'Really important'

The science has come to prominence only within the last five or six years, and most of the details were not available when the convention was signed in 1992.

"We know that the increasing concentration of CO2 [in the air] is making the oceans more acidic," Mr Benn told BBC News.

"It affects marine life, it affects coral, and that in turn could affect the amount of fish in the sea - and a billion people in the world depend on fish for their principal source of protein.

"It doesn't get as much attention as the other problems; it is really important."

Barua ya mama wa kihindi kwenda kwa mwanae Jagjit... DUH!

You Mom sardar singh
same address
South Puna,
India

My dear Jagjit,

Subject: A letter from Me mom to my son Jagjit

I am in a well here and hoping you are also in a well there.

I'm writing this letter slowly, because I know you cannot read fast.

We don't live where we did when you left home. Your dad read in the newspaper that most accidents happen 20 miles from home, so we moved 20miles.

I won't be able to send the address as the last Sardar who stayed here took the house numbers with them for their new house so they would not have to change their address.

Hopefully by next week we will be able to take our earlier address plate here, and that our address will remain same too.

This place is really nice. It even has a washing machine, situated right above the toilet I'm not sure it works too well. Last week I put in 3 shirts, pulled the chain and haven't seen them since.

The weather here isn't too bad. It rained only twice last week. The first time it rained for 3 days and second time for 4 days.

The coat you wanted me to send you, your Aunt said it would be a little too heavy to send in the mail with all the metal buttons, so we cut them off and put them in the pocket.

Your father has another job. He has 500 men under him. He is cutting the grass at the cemetery.


Your sister had a baby this morning. I haven't found out whether it is a girl or a boy, so I don't know whether you are an Aunt or Uncle.

Your uncle, Jitendra fell in the nearby well. Some men tried to pull him out, but he fought them off bravely and drowned. We cremated him and he burned for three days.

There isn't much more news this time. Nothing much has happened.

Love - Mom.

P.S. Jagjit, I was going to send you some money but by the time I realized, I had already sealed off this letter.

Lord, the real boss...
