Please Let It GO
Let it go …
Let it go
There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this! When people can walk away from you:
let them walk. I don’t want you to try to talk another person into
staying with you, loving you, calling you, Caring about you, coming to
see you, staying attached to you. I mean hang up the phone.
When people can walk away from you let them walk. Your destiny is
never
tied to anybody that left.
The bible said that, they came out from us that it might be made
manifest that they were not for us. For had they been of us, no doubt
they would have continued with us. [1 John 2:19]
People leave you because they are not joined to you. And if they are
not joined to you, you can’t make them stay.
Let them go.
And it doesn’t mean that they are a bad person, it just means that
their part in the story is over And you’ve got to know when people’s part in
your story is over so that you don’t keep trying to raise the dead.
You’ve got to know when it’s dead.
You’ve got to know when it’s over. Let me tell
you something. I’ve got the gift of good-bye. It’s the tenth spiritual
gift, I believe in good-bye. It’s not that I’m hateful, it’s that I’m
faithful, and I know whatever God means for me to have He’ll give it
to me. And if it takes too much sweat I don’t need it. Stop begging
people to stay.
Let them go!!
If you are holding on to something that doesn’t belong to you and was
never intended for your life, then you need to……
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to past hurts and pains…
LET IT GO!!!
If someone can’t treat you right, love you
back, and see your worth…..
LET IT GO!!!
If someone has angered you …….
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge……
LET IT GO!!!
If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction…..
LET IT GO!!!
If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or
talents
LET IT GO!!!
If you have a bad attitude…….
LET IT GO!!!
If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better……
LET IT GO!!!
If you’re stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new
level
in Him……
LET IT GO!!!
If you are struggling with the healing of a broken
relationship………………..
LET IT GO!!!
If you keep trying to help someone who won’t even try to help
themselves…..
LET IT GO!!!
If you’re feeling depressed and stressed …..
LET IT GO!!!
If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling
yourself and God is saying “take your hands off of it,” then you need
to…
LET IT GO!!!
Let the past be the past. Forget the former things. GOD is doing a new
thing for you every day!!!
LET IT GO!!!
Get Right or Get Left .. think about it, and then ..
LET IT GO!!!

When I was in high school, Diego Maradona was my hero and what I achieved for my high school team, was partly because I wanted to play like Maradona; I was nicknamed "Maradona". Maradona is still my hero! What he accomplished in soccer - and really believe in this is - has never been achieved by anyone.
I must confess that Maradona knows exactly what he is doing. Let us give him the space. I am a fan of Argentina national team and I understand the displeasure of some fans on Maradona's methods. But he is a class. God saved Maradona several times in playing his career, God saved him in his qualification campaign and God will also save him in this year's World cup in South Africa! Maradona is God's special gift to soccer fraternity.

THE BERLIN WALL
The Berlin Wall ( Berliner Mauer in German) represents and depicts one of the Europe's worst, sad, barbaric, uncivilized dark history resulting from the end of the second World War. Willy Brandt, the mayor (der Burgermeister) of Berlin - West Berlin to be specific- at that time fiercely demonstrated against this inhuman action and referred this Wall as a "Wall of shame". Many people around the world and those in East Germany agreed with him and many West Berliners joined him in demonstrations. Willy Brandt, born as Herbert Ernst Karl Frahm - he changed his name to escape the Nazis as he was crossing the borders due to his opposition to Hitlers policies- had experienced Nazi ( Nationalsozialisten) brutality and he saw the same kind of brutality in this Wall. He later became West Germany chancellor ( 1969 - 1974), but resigned through a call of his conscience in 1974, when he discovered that one of his aides was working with the STASI - East Germany intelligence service (Staatssicherheit). I must honestly admit that, what Brandt did was one of the noble deeds in making such a decision and that is why he is one of my Role Models. As Chancellor he was very passionate about Ostpolitik where he tried to improve relations with the communist countries such as Poland, the Soviet Union, Hungary and East Germany. This was not well received in West Germany and was given the Nobel Peace Prize in 1971.
Adolf Hitler, the Nazi leader ( der Fuehrer) was killed during the last days of the second world war and that resulted partly to the end of the war and Berlin was divided into four zones namely under the following powers: United States, England, France and the Soviet Union. The three powers consisting of France, England and United States agreed that Germany needed the reconstruction aid through the " Marschall Plan", but the Soviet Premier Josef Stalin could not agree with the three powers. These three powers combined to for one sector the West Berlin and the Soviet controlled the East Berlin. Hence the birth of West Germany ( BRD- Bundesrepublik Deutschland) and East Germany ( DDR - die Deutsche Demokratische Republik - but whether the country was democratic or not is not of our interest at the moment, but may be later).
According to Stalin he wanted to have total control of this new communist states and may be later encroach the West Germany territory. At that moment he had Poland, Hungary, Czechoslovakia and the East Germany.West Germany starting embracing the west's capitalism and free market ideology, but the her neighbor sister took the opposite direction: the Soviet Communism. The East Germans at that time believed that West Germany was not fully de-Nazified ( Entnazifierung). With time the difference between life in the two countries was very evident; the west citizens were prosperous and the East Germans were poor, were under close watch of the secret police - it was a secret police state and you did not know who the next person to you was!a - and the students, pupils, teachers and everybody was indoctrinated in Marxism / Leninism. This resulted into many people moving to West Germany for better lives. The East Germany Government secretly thought about the solution to this Problem and tried to put bureaucratic rules to prevent this mass movement.
Finally on weekend, 13, August 1961 the East German police and army started closing the border and the citizens woke up in disbelief and some were prevented from crossing to the other side of the border. For the first time in history a nation was closing its border to prevent its citizens from moving to another country, because the leaders feared they might end having no one to rule! I can quote one German author - I cannot get the name from my active memory and I will be very happy for any help -," Waere es nicht besser, wenn die Regierung wahlt ein anderes Volk?" This wall resulted into Berlin being divided into two parts and many relatives were divided no one was allowed to cross to the other side. Many East Germans died trying to cross as they were either killed by the guards, fall down trying to jump over the wall, bitten by dogs and other installed measures by DDR. The East German regime gave out an order -: " shoot to kill" -for anyone trying to flee to west Berlin through the Wall! Was the DDR leadership justified in preventing its citizens from moving to another country? Were das Volk ( the people) not patriotic to their Vaterland ( fatherland)? Many questions can be asked, but one point is clear: The communist East Germany Leadership was very dictatorial and people react according to the way they are treated. Some will react according to the four Fs; some will fight back, some will flee, some will wait for their fate and some will follow any decrees due to their fear. So was the situation then. It was really harsh.
With all my heart, I must give these two men credit for their decisive roles they played in ensuring that Wall of Berlin became a history - although painful , but better - ; more to Ronald Reagan, - because he stood for the weak human beings when there was one to speak for them!.A man is charged by the way he stands to his true inner convictions and callings of his heart, - and then to Michael Gorbatschow. The date 12th, June 1987 remains an important date for Germany and peace lovers throughout the world; during Berlin's 750th anniversary of Berlin at the Brandenburg Gate ( Brandenburg TOR) -, in his speech, US President, Ronald Reagan passionately and strongly appealed to Gorbatschow to tear down the Wall; "Mr. Gorbatschow please tear down this Wall.". This is one of the best speeches that I have heard and the crowd at Brandenburg were moved into tears and wails.Not everyone was happy with this and I must mention two personalities who were oppossing what Reagan stood for: British Prime Minister , Margaret Thatcher and French President Francois Mitterrand. Thatcher argued that united Germany will pose instability in Europe and she pleaded with Gorbatschow to not to let Berlin Wall fall. History will never forgive Thatcher for that! This was the start of a precious event for the Germans and the world.
On 23 August 1989 Hungary removed its wall on its borders with Austria and the East Germans were crossing through Czechoslovakia and their destination was West Germany - specifically west Berlin. Of significant note, is that during the month of September 1989, protests and demonstrations broke all over the DDR ( East Germany), wanting to go to West Germany and they were shouting the slogans, " Wir wollen wieder Frei" - we want to be free again," Wir haben genug mit dem Kommunismus und der Diktatur"- we are tired of Communism and dictatorship. The previous visit by Ronald Reagan, in my considered opinion precipitated these mass protests and demonstrations that proved decisive in the East Germany regime leadership to give in to these demands. Nothing was going to stop the power of the oppressed nation; not even the bombs, guns or any other weapon: It was very strong. The west Germany Television stations also played a pivotal role in breaking information about the plans to crush the Wall. You must put in mind that listening to foreign media stations were not allowed - "Das war Verboten"- This was banned. Only stations that were compatible to communism were aloud and "das Volk"- the people were forced to listen to national news.
Days later it was too much for the East Germany leadership. The BERLIN WALL was finally down. For nearly a quarter a century this wall inflicted pains to many people - the Germans, Britons, French, and the world a t least psychologically. There was intense celebration brought about by the joy the German reunification brought to the German people. The East Germans and West Germans met at the Gates of Berlin wall - especially relatives and friends separated by this wall based on the location their land fell.Millions also traveled from around the to witness this historic moment.The next step that followed was to break the walls in minds of the people and build bridges to link the entire humanity and especially the East Germans who had suffered the communist indoctrination.

Online Marketing
What is online Marketing? Nowadays alot of companies are moving from conventional advertisement to Internet Marketing, because they realize that Internet has an infinite power of increasing their sales in contrast to advertisement through various media , for instance Television, Newspapers, radios, Exhibitions etc which advertise the products or services only in a specific Geographical location such as State, County, Town, district or a country. Advertising products and services through internet ensures that anyone in the World who has a computer and has an internet connection can access these advertisements. According to statistics nearly 2 billion people use internet; this the real market for your services and products. That is why many companies are aggressively investing in advertising using internet.
Athletics
Have you ever realized this; athletes are the mostly highly paid people in the world! An athlete can earn US $ 1million in a space of 10 seconds. The notable examples are Usain Bolt, Haile Gabreselasie, Paul Tergat, Pamela Jelimo, Marion Jones. No country has ever produced excellent, talented and ambitious athletes than Kenya. The story of most of this athletes is what I can refer to as " from rags to riches" , who really worked hard and focused on their regular training.
Most people do not understand the pain which an athlete goes through training. I must recognize the contribution that Bro. Colm O'Connell - my Headmaster during my High School days at St. Patrick's High School - Iten - has achieved in training some of the best athletes in the World. Mathew Birir
Peter Rono (1988 olympics gold, 1500m), Matthew Birir (1992 olympics gold, 3000m steeplechase), Wilson Kipketer (800m world champion 2000, and world record holder), Wilson Boit Kipketer (former world record holder, 3000m steeplechase and 2001 world champion), Wilberforce Talel (2003 world champion, 10,000m),Peter Rono (1988 olympics gold, 1500m), Matthew Birir (1992 olympics gold, 3000m steeplechase), Wilson Kipketer (800m world champion 2000, and world record holder), Wilson Boit Kipketer (former world record holder, 3000m steeplechase and 2001 world champion), Wilberforce Talel (2003 world champion, 10,000m), , Joseph Saina, Kipkoech and Charles Cheruiyot, Ibrahim Hussein ( Boston Marathon champion) William Kosgei Chemitei and Joseph Tengelei.Joseph Saina, Kipkoech and Charles Cheruiyot, William Kosgei Chemitei, Joseph Tengelei, Benson Koech, Sammy Biwott, Kipruto Maru, the list is endless!Sally Barsosio, Tecla Lorupe, Helen Kimaiyo, Salina Chirchir, Lorna Kiplagat, Vivian Cheruiyot also passed through the Irish coach.
Bro Colm is arguably the most successful coach in Kenya. He has been training world class champions in athletics and in academics - as a teacher and a coach at St. Patrick's since 1976 - a truly remarkable success. For over 40 years he has been a great service Kenya and he is still focusing on training and nurturing new talents. Atleast my former Headmaster and Geography teacher really deserves a pat on his back if not more!
