If you have reached 40 and you have 2 acres in the village,go there and plant these things:
1. trees
2. Avocado
3. Sugarcane
4. Bananas
5. Lemon & oranges
Plant and wait for 2-5 years. You will not suffer in your old age.
There are people who planted trees 10 years ago,after retirement,they were selling 2 trees for Ksh50,00 each every year. That is Ksh100,000 in total. That money is enough to pay bills and afford anything you want during retirement.
Japanese student, Rio Nakagawa, visited Nairobi and fell in love with Congolese music. He decided to travel to Kinshasa and later on started a band named Yoko Choc Nippon in Japan.
Pesa kidogo mshahama Nairobi mnaingia msituni kuishi na wanyama
Kazi ni kujenga basic brick/wooden structures, ku'install solar na kutega maji ya mvua
Chakula ni kufuga kuku, bata, na kupanda vegetables
I respect y'all for chosing quality of life away from this chaotic city.
🚨 After building a detailed business case for fattening 110 shoats, I've reached some hard truths:
A). Less than 250 shoats per cycle is hardly a commercial venture.
B). You cannot achieve more than 2 cycles per year.
C). A 110-shoat enterprise requires at least 12 acres ..
The video with @schoolofhardknocks is out and it’s gone viral. None of it was planned. I invited James to the Aruwa office to meet him and learn how he’s built his business. We took a picture, he left but then: he came back and wanted to film. Tomorrow morning.
In 2015 a writer named Tim Urban sat down and counted the days he had left with his parents. He was 34, healthy, both parents alive and well. The number came back around 300. Less time than he spent with them in any single year of his childhood.
The post is called The Tail End, on a blog called Wait But Why. The idea is to stop counting your life in years and start counting it in events. Reach 90 and you get about 4,680 weeks, and every one of them fits on a single sheet of paper. Maybe 60 more winters after that. If you read five books a year, that is 300 books, picked from every book ever written.
Those things at least spread out evenly. A third of the way through life means a third of the way through your pizzas. Time with the people you love does not work like that. Almost all of it sits at the very start. Then it is gone.
For your first 18 years you are around your parents nearly every day. Then you leave for college or a job in another city, and a normal adult sees their parents maybe 10 days a year. So the day you move out, you are already at 93 percent. Urban was living in the last 5 percent and had no idea until he drew the chart. He called it the tail end.
It does not stop at parents. His two sisters, after a whole childhood in the same house, had around 15 percent of their time together left. The four friends he played cards with most days in high school were down to their last 7 percent. Nobody had a fight. Nobody moved away angry. Life quietly spends the time for you while you assume there is plenty left.
You do not have to be old to be near the end with someone. If your parents are alive and you live in a different city, you have probably already used more than 90 percent of the days you will ever spend in the same room as them.
His one instruction is about that last stretch. When you are down to the final days with someone you love, treat that time like what it is, which is almost gone. The rest is the tail end, and it is much shorter than it feels.

8 ideas para dejar de pensar y empezar a moverte:
1/ Haz una sola cosa. Y luego otra. Y otra...
Ernest Shackleton watched the ice slowly crush his ship past saving. He turned to his stranded crew and told them: ship and stores have gone, so now we'll go home.
It was 1915. He had sailed to Antarctica to cross the whole continent on foot, and his ship, the Endurance, got stuck in thick sea ice before he ever reached land. The ice held the ship for ten months, then crushed it until it broke apart. They left the ship that October and watched it sink that November, with no other people for hundreds of miles, no radio, and no one coming to look for them.
What the crew saw was a man who never lost his nerve. What they could not see was his diary. The night the ship was crushed, he wrote one line about it: it is hard to write what I feel. A crewmate later said it plainly. If Shackleton ever wanted to give up, he kept it to himself.
The calm was something he did on purpose. He held everyone to a strict daily routine so no one had time to lose hope. When the men threw out every heavy thing that might slow them down, he ordered them to keep the banjo, because music at night kept the men from falling apart. When his photographer lost his gloves, Shackleton gave away his own and let his fingers freeze.
They lived on the drifting ice for five months, eating seals and penguins. When the ice broke up, they rowed three small lifeboats about 180 miles to Elephant Island, a bare rock where no one lived and no ship would ever pass. Food ran so low that one of the men wrote they might have to eat whoever died first.
So Shackleton bet everything on a single boat. He and five others climbed into a 22-foot lifeboat and sailed 800 miles across the roughest ocean on Earth, through 16 days of freezing storms, aiming for a tiny island called South Georgia. They reached it. Then he crossed its mountains on foot for 36 hours straight, over ground no one had ever crossed, to reach a whaling station and get help.
Twenty-two men were still waiting back on Elephant Island. They waited 105 days. Three times a rescue ship was turned back by the ice before a small Chilean tug finally broke through, on August 30, 1916.
Shackleton stood on the bow as it neared the shore and called across the water, asking if they were all well. The answer came back: all safe, all well.
All 28 of them came home. He never let his men watch him break, and that was the whole point.
Don’t worry guys… I got home safely 😂😂😂.
This is surreal even for me. I need like a day or two to actually accept my new reality.
First impression: this car is super smooth and comfortable AF! Who said these cars are not comfortable? 😳
