A Superb Thought for our day to day life in 2012...

There once was a farmer who discovered that he had lost his watch in the barn. It was no ordinary watch because it had sentimental value for him. After searching high and low among the hay for a long while; he gave up and enlisted the help of a group of children playing outside the barn. He promised them that the person who found it would be rewarded. Hearing this, the children hurried inside the barn, went through and around the entire stack of hay but still could not find the watch. Just when the farmer was about to give up looking for his watch, a little boy went up to him and asked to be given another chance. The farmer looked at him and thought, "Why not? After all, this kid looks sincere enough." So the farmer sent the little boy back in the barn. After a while the little boy came out with the watch in his hand! The farmer was both happy and surprised and so he asked the boy how he succeeded where the rest had failed. The boy replied, "I did

Sababu za Watoto Wachanga Kulia Mara kwa Mara na Namna ya Kuwabembeleza

Ni kawaida kwa watoto kulia. Hata watoto wanaozaliwa na afya njema kabisa wanaweza kulia kwa jumla ya wastani wa kati ya saa moja mpaka matatu kwa siku. Kwa vile watoto hawawezi kujifanyia chochote wao wenyewe zaidi ya kutegemea wazazi, walezi ama watu wengine wanaowazunguka katika kuwapatia chakula, joto, na faraja, kilio ni njia ya mtoto ya kuwasilisha moja ya mahitaji hayo. Kama mzazi mpya, wakati mwingine inakuwa vigumu kutambua mtoto wako anahitaji nini anapolia. Mzazi anaweza kuwa na maswali kadhaa kichwani mwake, je, mtoto ana njaa, anasikia baridi, ana kiu, anaumwa ama amechoka? Katika siku za mwanzo, hali ya namna hii inawawia vigumu wazazi wengi, wasijue nini la kufanya. Hata hivyo, kwa kadiri siku zinavyopita mzazi mpya ataweza kutambua kuwa kilio cha mtoto wake kinamaanisha anahitaji nini kutokana na mfumo wake wa kulia. Kadiri watoto wanavyokua ndivyo ambavyo hujifunza hatua mbalimbali za kuwasiliana na wazazi ama walezi wao. Wanakuwa na namna nzuri ya kuw

Na Mwandishi wetu, Serengeti. Role reversal in Serengeti - Tanzania: Waterbuck scares off hungry lioness who was lining him up for dinner   Sometimes no matter how loud you roar, it just isn't scary enough, as this African lioness found out in a Kenyan national reserve. She spotted a waterbuck bathing in the cool water and deciding he was going to make an easy meal, she edged her way up to the side of the pond. As she approached the brown, antlered animal, he looked up and surprisingly did not back away. When the Africa Lioness spotted a Waterbuck bathing in the cool water, she decided she was going to make an easy meal, and edged her way up to the side of the pond A stony stand-off ensued, with both animals staring at each other, refusing to budge. Then suddenly he decided to pounce and charged at the Lioness, with his lethal horns first. With a split-second pause, she whipped around and sprinted up the grassy bank to safety - although she was lucky not

The milk Spilter became the biggest scientist

This is  a story about a famous research scientist who had made several very important medical breakthroughs. He was being interviewed by a newspaper reporter who asked him why he thought he was able to be so much more creative than the average person. What set him so far apart from others?    He responded that, in his opinion, it all came from an experience with his mother that occurred when he was about two years old. He had been trying to remove a bottle of milk from the refrigerator when he lost his grip on the slippery bottle and it fell, spilling its contents all over the kitchen floor—a veritable sea of milk! When his mother came into the kitchen, instead of yelling at him, giving him a lecture, or punishing him, she said, "Robert, what a great and wonderful mess you have made! I have rarely seen such a huge puddle of milk. Well, the damage has already been done. Would you like to get down and play in the milk for a few minutes before we clean it up?"
