Sylvestar Stallone
This is one of the saddest stories ever told in Hollywood. His name is Sylvestar Stallone. One of the most famous American Movie superstars. Back in the day, Stallone was a struggling actor in every definition. At some point, he got so broke that he stole his wife's jewellery and sold it. Things got so bad that he even ended up homeless. Yes, he slept at the New York bus station for 3 days. Unable to pay rent or afford food. His lowest point came when he tried to sell his dog at the liquor store to any
stranger. He didn't have money to feed the dog anymore. He sold it at $25 only. He says he walked away crying.

Two weeks later,he saw a boxing match between Mohammed Ali and Chuck Wepner and the match gave him the inspiration to write the script for the famous movie,ROCKY. He wrote the script for 20 hours! He tried to sell it and got an offer for $125,000 for the script. But he had just one request. He wanted to STAR in the movie. He wanted to be the main actor. Rocky himself. But the studio said NO. They wanted a REAL STAR.

They said he "Looked funny and talked funny". He left with his script. A few weeks later,the studio offered him $250,000 for the script. He refused. They even offered $350,000. He still refused. They wanted his movie. But NOT him. He said NO. He had to be in that movie.

After a while,the studio agreed,gave him $35,000 for the script and let him star in it! The rest is history! The movie won Best Picture, Best Directing and Best Film Editing at the prestigious
Oscar Awards. He was even nominated for BEST ACTOR! The Movie ROCKY was even inducted into the American National Film Registry as one of the greatest movies ever!

And do You know the first thing he bought with the $35,000? THE DOG HE SOLD. Yes,Stallone loved his dog so much that he stood at the liquor store for 3 days waiting for the man he sold
his dog to. And on the 3rd day,he saw the man coming with the dog. Stallone explained why he sold the dog and begged for the dog back. The man refused. Stallone offered him $100. The
man refused. He offered him $500. And the guy refused. Yes,he refused even $1000. And,Believe it or Not,Stallone had to pay $15,000 for the same,same dog he sold at $25 only! And he
finally got his dog back!

And today,the same Stallone who slept in the streets and sold his dog just because he couldn't even feed it anymore,is one of the greatest Movie Stars who ever walked the Earth!

Hi, being broke is BAD. Really BAD. Have You ever had a dream? A wonderful dream? But You are too broke to implement it? Too tiny to do it? Too small to accomplish it? Damn! I've been there too many times!

Life is tough. Opportunities will pass you by,just because you are a NOBODY. People will want your products but NOT YOU. Its a tough world. If you ain't already famous, or rich or "connected", You will find it rough.

Doors will be shut on You. People will steal your glory and crash your hopes. You will push and push. And yet NOTHING WILL HAPPEN.

And then your hopes will be crashed. You will be broke. Damn broke. You will do odd jobs for survival. You will be unable to feed yourself. And Yes, you may end up sleeping in the streets.
It happens. Yes, it does.

BUT NEVER LET THEM CRUSH THAT DREAM. Whatever happens to You, Keep Dreaming. Even when they crush your hopes, Keep Dreaming. Even when they turn you away, Keep Dreaming.
Even when they shut you down, Keep Dreaming.

NO ONE KNOWS WHAT YOU ARE CAPABLE OF EXCEPT YOURSELF! People will judge You by HOW you look. And by WHAT You have.

But please, Fight on! Fight for Your place in history. Fight for your glory. NEVER EVER GIVE UP!
Even if it means selling all your clothes and sleeping with the dogs, ITS OKAY! But AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL ALIVE, Your STORY IS NOT OVER. TRUST ME.

Keep Up the Fight. Keep your dreams and hope alive. Go great.

This article is a continuation of: Part I: Transmogrification of a Female Campus Student (First Year)

SECOND YEARS.

Like form two students in high school, 2nd years are the notorius lot in campus. They feel that they are bonafide members of the university and its this lot that often agitates for ''rights'' for women , everything completely changes from the style of dressing to speaking style and the kind of pals they hang out with. The skirts get shorter, 'tights' and hipsters hold tightly the assets and arsenals, and the back is revealed more. They begin experimenting alcohol and other lethal drugs which they eventually get hooked to. Coming to class late is now normal and her revealed body parts and structures are constant distraction to classmates especially male students and a times lecturers.

She starts skipping classes since she is too busy attending other engagements to fight off competition from ''freshers'', she casts her net wider and shuns the campus men. Men dating a woman at this stage is hell, stress and headache since second years are very competitive, getting advances from lecturers, senior students and maybe sugar-dadies. Men are not judged by the content of their hearts but by the size and depth of both pockets.

According to *Juliet, a 4th yr student, the 2nd yr has the highest number of players. This is where one discovers the power of luscious looks. You often hear them brag that they are dating the ''working class'' dudes. Bankers, managers, businessmen, doctors and other professionals run after them. Statements like ''my dude is in canada....blah blah'' are common at this stage. Many lead lavish lifestyle and no weekends finds them in school. They are taken out in sleeky cars by the ''working class''.

By the end of the second year , a good number of them IF NOT CAREFUL  either get pregnant or may  have aborted.

THIRD YEARS

This is where you get highest number of single girls. The young woman has been to hell and back; ........CONTINUED --- Part 3: Third Year Female Campus Student.


Juliet, EU
Admission to university conjures up visions of a place plenty of hope,a haven of unlimited freedom,and at the end of it all,a dream carrier. But those who have passed through these institutions will tell you that there is more to university life than the supposed glamour. Due to peer pressure some end up doing doing things they never dreamt of such as the church youth leader in the village who ends up becoming a drug addict.

For women especially,it is a life of self-discovery and experimentation. Each academic year comes with a new experience,right from being code-named ''gold'' in the first year to called ''archive'' in the fourth year.

FIRST YEARS

When *Juliet was admitted to Egerton University to study languages four years ago,she was the happiest girl on earth. She had always dreamt of working with embassy and earning a good salary. She was the first in her village to join such an exalted institution.She was a devoted christian and a choir leader at her local church and everyone adored her in the village. She was a role model and a real life example to many small youth who admired to be like her. She joined Laikipia campus with an ambition of becoming proficient in at least six foreign languages at the end of four years. 

When she was warned of the wayward behaviour at university by the students leader's, she dismissed the caution! ''How could a person in her right mind smoke and drink!'',.... but she was to learn that worse things can happen. With 10 broken relationships under her belt, she is now struggling to recover the addiction to alcohol and desperately clinging to an elusive boyfriend who had once promised to marry her.The jovial carefree girl with ambitions of becoming a diplomat is no more today she would accept any job as long as it puts food on the table and clothes at her back. ''I cant tell what really happened and when i took a wrong turn'' she says.

When young women join campus,they are easily distinguishable from the rest of the crowd. For the first few weeks,most of them are humble and focused. They have dreams and ambitions (DNA), among this lot expressions like ''earning a first class honours'',''pursuing a masters degree immediately or ''investing my first salary'' are common. They have high expectations of learning so the number of first years who skip classes is low. They also submit assignments on time and are obedient to lectures and lecturers. It is during this stage that a campus girl can tell you what kind of a man she wants in life without narrating any sad experience with men, the type of car she wanna drive, what firm she wanna work for, the countries she would like to fly to e.t.c

Since most students at the campus come from upcountry, they join campus clad in very nicely, presentable and hygienic attires i.e cute skirts and sweetly knit blouses, flat shoes etc. They walk in groups and mostly associate with those from their home districts and their former schoolmates. They get to learn skills like learning to use ''flush'' toilets at campus. A large number of them are dedicated members of christian unions and hardly miss any Bible study sessions.

At this stage the senior male students are easily available and generous. Some start saving early for ''gold rush peak season''. These male students have their rooms stacked with sophisticated electonic gadgets, packets of sweets and biscuits, juices and other snacks. The room floors are adorned with shining carpets. They use this as bait to win the hearts of first year girls. Infact, most of them refer the rooms with names like ''kichinjio, old traford, theatre of dreams, the 3 musketeers, stamford bridge, emirates e.t.c''.These men also frequent the first year's women hostels carrying chips, biscuits, popcorn and other sweet stuff.

At this stage in her evolution,the first year girl has the allure of hotcakes and her phone is busy. Her schedule is very tight with invitations coming in fast and furious.She is promulgated and spoilet for choice where suitors are concerned. Many of these men will have dumped their second, third and fourth year girlfriends in favour of ''freshers''.Towards the end of the first semester, the ''civilization and promulgation'' process begins and the new members want to feel part and parcel of ''campus life''.

A large part of their budget is dedicated to buy 'tights', high-heeled shoes and expensive bags. Their walking style changes from nice walking to dancing-catwalking. They also buy loads of cosmetics and beauty products and change their hairstyles every fortnight. Some realise the importance of body fitness by doing exercises or going to gym, reason? ''I want to shade off some weight and slim''. Others discover they have a flat figure and try to gain some figure- china made figure. The girl discovers that she is no longer in the village but at an institution of higher learning where there is a lot of freedom-no parent interferance. They discover new friends and their language changes.  They begin to use words like ''as in'', ''kinda'', ''dont mind'' ,''dude'', ''wooow", "GFF" etc. As they are talking the facial expressions and body works are exageratted to talk like celebs like Tyra banks,jlo,Winfrey, name them......

Towards the end of the second semester many enter miss university concerts!...before i forget many of them have new china made phones and they discover the power of music by walking head high with earphones in their ear sockets.

SECOND YEARS.

Like form two students in high school, 2nd years are the notorious lot in campus..... Continued--:::  

Part II; The Tansmogrification of a Female Campus Student (Second Year)

Don't Miss!

My facebook timeline, these days, is filled with posts from heterosexuals lecturing 'the bigoted haters' on gay rights ( whatever those are). I recently witnessed a shamelessly sensual sodomite spam my friend's phone with lecherous texts all in the name of the right to love. Trust me, nothing could be more nauseating and demeaning than being seduced by a fellow man...

The pro-gay bush activists aren't stopping at anything; they've politicized the matter, tying it to Obama visit. Lads who know nought about girls have turned into murderous antagonists and religious defenders of homosexuals. Googling gay friendly articles and spreading them as gospel truth is becoming trendy. I'm informed that you look more exposed, informed and liberal when you defend gay. Some political minions, the tragic tribalists now have a weapon against each other.






An attempt to engage them with facts (that homosexuality is philosophically, religiously and scientifically self-defeatist; that Kenya mustn't follow everything American; that we aren't ready to be raped by lasciviously filthy men) only attracts torrid words and assignment of ugly monikers.

Why do the homos feel the need to inform us of their existence? Do they see us roaming these streets with rainbow colored profile pictures to announce our sexual orientation?

Your sexual orientation is your business, why then the need for validation from the society?

My problem with that conduct is that it wants to bring filth and disgust into my living room.Again, there is nothing as filthy as a man in another's business!

I never thought that in my lifetime I will hear another man cry that they have been denied an opportunity to romp another man!!

Prof. Micheni from Maasai mara University has this to say to students:
Academic excellence is overrated! I said it. Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life. You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn't mean you will make more money than everybody else. The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer.
The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memorise it and reproduce it in an exam. School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination. School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones.

So do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh, no, you should. But don't sacrifice every other thing on the altar of First Class. Don't limit yourself to the classroom. Do something practical. Take a leadership position. Start a business and fail. That's a better Entrepreneurship 101.Join or start a club. Contest an election and lose. It will teach you something Political Science 101 will not teach you. Attend a seminar. Read books outside the scope of your course. Go on missions and win a soul for eternal rewards.

Comrades: Do something you believe in! Think less of becoming an excellent student but think more of becoming an excellent person. Make the world your classroom.
Step forward try politics, try business, try an extra thing great person.

True Love
Here are the TEN  important things every campus girl and young women need to know about love and relationship. These tips will help you to face tough times ahead and come out stronger.

You are enough. You should believe that you are capable , able , worthy and complete. Always know that there is nothing in you which needs to change to be loved. Do not tolerate men or women who tries to convince you otherwise, because someone who doesn’t see you worth should not earn a place in your life.

You can’t get respect unless you first give it. Model the respect you seek in a partner and you will more naturally be drawn to someone who will do the same.                                                

Don’t lose yourself in a relationship. Falling in love can cause a woman to fall out of sync with who she is without her other half. Don’t let your own insecurity or your relationship stop you from living the life you deserve. You need your friends to lead a happy life- whether or not the relationship lasts.  

See Also11 Hints Of Love

Listen closely to potential and current partners. Remaining perceptive can save you heartache. If you notice a person being unkind to someone else, don’t fool yourself into thinking it will be different with you.

Enter and stay in a relationship for the right reasons. True love is about affection, selflessness and generosity. If those qualities aren’t there, QUIT. Loneliness, reenacting the past, outside pressure or shared friends aren’t reasons to stay with someone.

Know what you want and stay true to that. Sometimes relationships look right on the surface, but feel wrong deep down. Understand what you want and stay true to that. Have a strong sense of self, not try to be what the other person wants her to be.

Recognize heartbreak’s benefits.  Heart breaks comes with benefits. It is therefore OK to feel pain, but a breakup can be a lesson in itself. How you handle your first breakup will shape your future relationships in a profound way. After a break-up ,learn what you are willing to accept, need and when and how to let go.

Never pursue love, it will arrive when it’s ready. Dogs run away when chased, and so do people. Everyone needs room to breathe.Running after someone who doesn’t want to be caught can damage your dignity—and hurt your chances of finding a partner. Acting prudently, though, can only make you more desirable.

If you test someone, he may fail you. Don’t administer litmus tests as measures of a person’s love. Testing is a sign of one’s own fear and insecurity. Learn to trust others- always know that you were born with good instincts. That self-confidence will set her up for healthy relationships.

Most fairy tales were written by men. There’s no shame in enjoying a fairytale, but see these stories as opportunities to learn that real love is complicated, and comes in all different forms. Always know that you carries equal weight with your other half.

Attracting a woman
Every guy wants to be able to attract women. Read on and find out how you can attract women and keep the conversation intriguing.

  1. No 1: Women don’t want to be interviewed,. Instead of asking her of questions like “where are you from” and “what do you do for fun,” make a definitive statement or a cold read.
  2. No 2: Women are attracted to healthy men. Don't talk about how tired you are or that you had the flu a week ago. Instead, mention things that show good health.
  3. No 3: Don't brag! Women are not attracted to men who brag about it. They feel that a tendency to brag likely stems from low confidence. Instead of bragging, tell her an interesting story that allows her to decipher independently that you're successful.
  4. No 4: When you talk to a woman, make sure to have a relaxed body posture. Relax your shoulders and put your weight on one leg. Lean comfortably against a wall or the bar if possible. A bad posture might create an artificial barrier between you and the woman and hinders your ability to attract her.
  5. No 5: Try to be a little mysterious. If she asks you questions, don't give her elaborate, detailed answers. Instead, provide her with clues about who you are and let her figure out the rest. This will intrigue her and prompt her to learn more about you.
These 5 tips will simply scratch the surface of attracting women.If you can incorporate these suggestions, you will come across as a much more confident and desirable person.

Got an interesting story, post it to us via email : nchimoja.silvano@gmail.com, or silvanongetha@nchimoja.com and we will put it here for all to share.Thank you.
An open letter to my Ex-Husband.
Dear Ex-Husband,

When I saw you in your driveway yesterday, at our routinely scheduled pickup time, it occurred to me suddenly that I have not seen you naked in almost two years.  I know that my face must have conveyed the relief I was feeling at this revelation, and I’m sorry I lied and said I was distracted by the dog.

I am just trying to be honest.  I figure this is important now, since it’s something neither of us could manage to do while we were married. So in keeping with this new philosophy, there are a few things I things I think it’s important for me to say to you.

First, I am sorry.  I am sorry that we promised ‘forever’ to each other when we had no concept of what ‘forever’ meant. If there is fault in that promise, it lies in the stars—how can we blame each other for what we could never have possibly understood then?  We were young, we were clueless, we were still growing when we made our vows.  We did not know that we would grow apart.

But thank you, anyway.  Thank you for giving me a ring and lending me your last name. Thank you for teaching me about resiliency and patience.  Thank you for these little creatures that often look and laugh like you. They are the best gift anyone has ever given me.

Thank you for being brave enough to fight for me.  And for being tired enough to let me go, when I told you I needed to go.

While I know our Divorce Agreement spells out the visitation schedule and parenting times and who pays for the kids braces, there are a few areas left undefined. Every time I see you, there are questions lingering in the air, questions far too awkward and inappropriate even for me to ask.

Some of them will only make us both sad. They will take us back to the softer places, the times when we woke up in bed beside each other, smiling.  Like, do you remember those first few nights at home with our daughter, when we just sat there and marveled over her tiny hands, the miniature fingernails that somehow, magically we created together?

Do you hear our wedding song on your ipod now and skip ahead hurriedly, or do you sit for just a minute and remember that weekend at the beach and my hair falling in my face?  Or did you delete that song once and for all–afraid that hearing it would only take you back to a page in a book you closed forever?

And sometimes I wonder about what your life is like now. Do you love someone?  Does someone love you?

Is she good in bed? Is your sex life better now? Does she do that thing you always wanted to do, but I had told you that the thought alone made me want to vomit?

Has your new love made you question whether you loved me at all, whether you even knew what love was when you gave it to me?

Then, there are questions about how we exist in our new space.  When is it okay to hug you?  At band concerts or when our daughter has scored the winning goal, when our son graduates from high school?  When your aunt has died and I see you at the funeral, with your new wife at your side? Should I touch your hand and say kind words?  Or should I just wave and turn away?

Everything has changed and that is the way it has to be. I get that. We aren’t Facebook friends, we don’t even talk on the telephone. Instead we text in short hand. l type ‘TY’ and you send back ‘np’, like teenagers who have never handwritten a note or a Christmas card.Like strangers in the driveway.

Finally, I want to tell you I am not angry anymore.   I went to therapy, I read all the books about moving on. I learned how to tie it to a balloon and to let it go. But I know you are angry still. I can see it in the way you twist up your mouth when you see me.

Which makes me think of one more question.

Do you think you’ll forgive me soon?

With Fondest Regards,

Your Ex-Wife.

Hey there, stranger.

It’s been a very long time, which I’m sure you’re aware of. I’d like to say that it was your decision alone to keep this distance, but I think we both know it was for the best. I’d like to say that I’m glad you are well, but as we both know I have absolutely no idea how you are. The one thing that can definitely be said is that when we cut ties, we leave no strand behind, but slice right through until we no longer remember how to find each other. It’s amazing to think that once we were inseparable, the best of friends.

You knew me inside and out, and I, you. We were there for each other in the best of times and through the most difficult of times. We definitely managed to put each other through hell on occasion, but when support was needed the most, support was given. Until, of course, that final day. I sometimes find myself wondering why we couldn’t stay in touch. Would it be so bad if we got together for coffee from time to time? Or if we gave each other a ring to see how the other was doing?

Using the phone to make calls has become archaic, but surely we could send a text to wish each other a happy birthday? Or a happy New Year? I mean, we’ve been through so much. You are a part of my life and there is nothing I can do to ever change that.

You can’t be forgotten because forgetting you would be like forgetting myself — impossible. But then again, maybe you are right. Maybe we are better off as far apart as possible. We know we aren’t right for each other. We know it would never work, and we know the friendship we have — we had — created a bond that would make slipping back into romance too easy. It would make repeating the same mistakes too likely, repeating the same heartbreak certain. That’s what it really comes down to: It’s not my heart that I’m worried about, but yours. Breaking my own heart would be my responsibility to bear, but I can’t once again be responsible for breaking yours.

So all that I can do is wish you the best. Wish you a great, bright, loving future. Wish you to find the lover of your dreams and to create a lifetime of your fantasies. I wish for you to find a friend as great as me, but a much better partner. One who won’t drag you through the mud. One who you won’t feel the need to bury with guilt. I wish you all the best and although you will never read this, although we will never speak to each other again, and although you are out of my life forever, I wish you nothing short of happiness.


Never again to be yours,
