Determination

Have you ever had an idea to start something. lets say a business of making shoes,Ankara, being the in tending thing at the moment. You find a good partner whose passion is as zealous as yours.

You both do the required maths  of the items needed. You give each other morale for so long but never commence. For around 3months the psych dies down. But the pressure to pursue the dream continues to build up within.

My friend Joy and i have such dream;to make a great bag design company. We envisioned to do the labour ourselves thinking we had the sawing machine for the job. we relied on one that the grand mother has closed up her closet.

We shoped for the materials needed so as to know the price, quality and what have you. Some samples were bought for testing. Her mother promised to be our first customer.

Joy together with her materials got surprised when she went to sample. The machine was not working. The budget had to go higher.

I have just made the step to buy the sawing machine. I don't know if the design will go through. But Am determined  to atleast start : Bulwarky D~els

appreciative nature

Am seated  in a flight to Addis-abba  and am thinking how lucky I am to have this privilege . My parent are typical government employees and have so much burden on their heads... But they still go forth  and give me the chance to tour the world. Maybe that fact that am the only one might push them to do this but again how many more only kids are on this plane?

Some times as kids we rarely if ever, appreciate what this old fellas do for us.... Waking up in the morning and finding tea with buttered bread on the table has become a routine.  we do not stop to think of the effort that they put in for us to have that  luxury. The few weeks I spent in a foreign country having no mama to cook for me and no papa to employ a house help who would wash my clothes taught me a lesson.

Having to budget for the week means knowing that that sweet "On The Run" smoothie needs not to be taken weekly. And one pound burn breads go as easy down pocket as the throught compared to the 8 pound single extre gee croissant.

life in our parents roof is much more easier because they take the burden for us. being appreciative is simply saying thankyou.
