HONESTY

A politician who fails on to deliver on the promises he/she made to the people during election campaign, loses the peoples faith and stands to lose the election the next time round. 

It is difficult to trust someone you have lost faith in.

Without honesty we would be termed characterless. Honesty is one of the building blocks of good character and character is what establishes who we are and what we are going to achieve. Honesty is the cornerstone of character. 

Honesty is not always the easiest way out of a situation. However for the brave hearted who do not seek ways out of situations it is the only way to deal with a situation or a crisis. 

Often being honest can mean coming under the wrath of others. There might be the fear of a backlash but one must keep in mind that in the end truth always prevails and honesty is the best policy. It might not be the easiest thing: being honest, but it is the only thing to be.

Sometimes when faced with dire consequences one is inclined to be dishonest because it takes courage to be honest. While dishonesty may provide an easy exit out of a sticky situation, it is just a matter of time before the lies catch up. When that happens, you lose your credibility and people mistrust you forever.

One lie leads to another and, before long you are entangled in a web of lies that you find increasingly difficult to come out of. Honesty may be a difficult virtue to maintain but it is the only right thing to do.

The truth however hard to say, must be adhered to always. In the long run it is the best policy. Over a period of time one will gain a reputation for being honest. And this will prove to be the building block of success. An honest person will be sought for his opinion. An honest man will always receive more responsibility at home and at work.

When you have erred coming clean is the only option. You may be punished for it, you might have to bear the consequences of it, but if you are honest you will earn the forgiveness and respect of those around you.

MAISHA NI FUMBO, FUMBUA

Ili ndege waruke pamoja sharti wafanane hivyo  ukiwa na rafiki tegemea mambo mawili: kukuangusha ama kukujenga.Ili ufanikiwa katika maisha unahitajika kudondosha marafiki wapuzi na washenzi kwani wanaweza kuwa vikwazo na mizingo mizito aushini mwako. Marafiki wa kila mara nipigie, nitumie na zakutoa, nimeona kiatu kizuri si uninunulie, nahisi njaa, nataka viazi, mimi siwezi labda wewe......... ni marafiki ambao hawakuthamini na hakuna hasara ukiwadondosha. Achilia marafiki wa namna hii na uacha kauli ya tumetoka mbali kwani hawa si marafiki wa dhati bali ni wachati. Epukana na marafiki wanaopenda kusifiwa maishani. Akipanda garimoshi mazungumzo yake yote yatakuwa kuhusu garimoshi. Rafiki ambaye hupiga picha kwenye magari ya watu ili asifiwe, anayepiga picha chakula kizuri kana kwamba yeye ndo anakula, anayepiga picha kwenye mikahawa mizuri ili kututishia, nywele nzuri kumbe bandia......Watu hawa hupenda wasifiwe ilhali hali halisia analala chini ya kitanda.Rafiki kama hawa dondosha...
