About Me

I was born in 1982 at Kimangu farm where my parents were staying. My mother was from a Christian family but my father was from a Muslim family. I am third born in a family of three girls and one boy. I started my primary school at Kanga primary school which is about 4km from home. I managed to reached class eight and due to what happened in our family I couldn’t continue with the education. My parents passed away when I finished the primary school. I struggled with life and I know what it means with life being left and no body can take care of you.
I thank God now I am married with three children all girls and we are a Christian family although my names are from Muslim religion. I am staying in a land which was owned by my parents because I am the only who can take care of.

My Business

As per above history, I passed up and down trying to see how I will manage the life and in the process I started a small retail kiosk at home with my little knowledge and I make it for it supports me and my newly married wife. It happened during the 2007 post election violence affected my business a lot and I was forced to close it up to last year where I restarted it again and now I am moving on. It was not all that easy to start again but I have made it. In the process, I have been supported by my wife for she helped me when I am out. From the business we do get all we need in our family and actually we do also save some little amount. We love our business because from it we do survive

    Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve. Thoughts are things! And powerful things at that, when mixed with definiteness of purpose, and burning desire, can be translated into riches.

    Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all time thing. You don’t win once in a while, you don’t do things right once in a while, you do them right all the time. Winning is habit. Unfortunately, so is losing.

    The man who will use his skill and constructive imagination to see how much he can give for a dollar, instead of how little he can give for a dollar, is bound to succeed.

    Look well to this day. Yesterday is but a dream and tomorrow is only a vision. But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness and every tomorrow a vision of hope. Look well therefore to this day.

    Far and away the best prize that life offers is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

    The prizes go to those who meet emergencies successfully. And the way to meet emergencies is to do each daily task the best we can; to act as though the eye of opportunity were always upon us. In the hundred-yard race the winner doesn’t cross the tape line a dozen strides ahead of the field. He wins by inches. So we find it in ordinary business life. The big things that come our way are seldom the result of long thought or careful planning, but rather they are the fruit of seed planted in the daily routine of our
