BRILLIANT BRYANT

April 13th saw the graceful signing off of Kobe Bryant from a budding 20 year sporting career in a remarkable match against Utah jazz.So anticipated was the match with tickets going to as much as 700Usd for the backmost seats.It also enjoyed the audience of celebrities and many other key people.

Nike even came up with an emoji to help brand the day ,mamba day, a day in which retired sports gurus will be celebrated around the globe.The name must be in line with Kobe Bryant's nickname  'black mamba' rightfully so due to the precision with which he made shots.

In his inspiring documentary Kobe Bryant s muse ,the basketball icon very well highlights how he came to love the game watching his own dad play both in the NBA and overseas .He talks about him being the not so outspoken but drawn back guy.Who would sometimes uses the noise inside of him as a result of so not blending well with folks to his advantage to prove a point in this which he was talented in.

I quote 'hardly would anyoneone be better because they were not spending the same time as I did on matters game and even if they were,they had other things distracting them from higher concentration contrary to my case '.

And in the court he would nail it rising to the ocassion to pull stunts over and over again.With enthusiasm and passion he  balled and balled and balled again shining all the way to titles,championships and undisputable stardom.

So many lessons to learn from the legend even as he dismisses.Most important,as he put ,will be his endeavour to nurture upcoming talent  by imparting his experience.

All the best superstar.The zeal,instinct and skill with which you played is legacy so indeed.

BLESSED

As much as we are maybe yet to purge the eminent clutter in our establishments as a country.It is without doubt that Kenya stands very significant on  both the African and global platforms.

Behold we stand blessed with the sea port.By that very fact ,being the gateway to the entire great lakes region.What of major treaties signed on our soil ?What of our cordial hospitality ?Daadab and Ifo refugee camps are the biggest there is,home to five hundred thousand plus.

Talk of our great sportsmen, heritage, tourism docket,and the list is endless.

Our country is by all standards an epitome of sheer beauty and  spilling over goodwill.

Lets take it not for granted that we continue to enjoy playing homage to key and influential  people from all flanks.Many world leaders,entertainers,clergymen and top form sportsmen have flocked to our beautiful country especially in the recent past.

Let's choose to love and be proud of our great nation.Here comes the pope.

WORK ETHICS

To ooze professionalism in whatsoever undertaking  you might find yourself in is in itself such a spectacular beauty to behold.It bespeaks inherent competence and passion and brings with it a sense of belonging to clients in an establishment in which such traits are espoused.

Acting all newbie  whenever something comes up can be interpreted as lack of competence in the field in which one should be authority.

 Other than beat round the bush over an issue.Advice the client or patron accordingly and in case of a shadow of doubt on your part you can always call in a supervisor.Don't forget to always be friendly and courteous in tone and mannerisms irregardless.

When handling the high end clientele and other persons of importance.Remember to be collected.Exubing the necessary respect but without going out of place as any attempt will be detected.Be cautious how you handle smalltalk if it comes up.However, smiling or slight giggles at cracked jokes is okay so long as you don't go over the edge.Be open and very friendly however.

On the issue of prevalent opportunities at your workplace.Direct canvassing will most usually  put off those in positions of influence. Find a subtle way of surfacing your special qualities  that  match the opportunity .Capitalise however on good interpersonal skills and the 

other nitty gritties of the workplace.

The results of this which will be cohesive working teams,satisfied clientele and fulfilling careers altogether.

PINCH OF INSIGHT

Improvement or growth of whatsoever form is a thing we should all look forward to and constantly.Even the planet we live in has become what it is  as a result of gradual improvement. Small beginnings and simple steps in progress are not to be despised.Great oaks from little acorns will grow,it is said.

A  case in point are the smartphones we use widely today.They are the product of what evolved man,if it is anything to go buy has improved from simpler tools like stone.Mark you,  most electronic components are basically sillicone,cassetirite.Stone.

Talk of internet and the flashback is the long voyages by earlier merchants toiling to  link up continents transacting merchandise.The great treks by caravan men, on horseback,on camel back and sailors by sea fall in the same context.And so on,and so forth.They were  the preamble of this connectivity technology we so much espouse.

Lets keep then adding positive values,skills and knowledge into our personas.Quoting socrates ' if i am wise it is because that i know that i know nothing ' 

Shun then the cormfort zone.Come out and about and learn. A new word,a new language,a new skill.Read a new journal,play a new game,meet a different person,travel to a new place.Up your profile.

Bit by bit improving ourselves. And no sooner than later, we are fueled and hence equiped to live wholistically And,very close if not at our precise predestinend potential.
