Do not love half lovers Do not entertain half friends Do not indulge in works of the half talented Do not live half a life and do not die a half death If you choose silence, then be silent When you speak, do so until you are finished Do not silence yourself to say something And do not speak to be silent If you accept, then express it bluntly Do not mask it If you refuse then be clear about it for an ambiguous refusal is but a weak acceptance Do not accept half a solution Do not believe half truths Do not dream half a dream Do not fantasize about half hopes Half a drink will not quench your thirst Half a meal will not satiate your hunger Half the way will get you no where Half an idea will bear you no results Your other half is not the one you love It is you in another time yet in the same space It is you when you are not Half a life is a life you didn't live, A word you have not said A smile you postponed A love you have not had A friendship you did not ...

Tough Times Never Last Based on real life Situations Written by:  Ms. Justine Kyomuhendo CEO Pick Your Dream - Uganda H ave you ever got a call or an appointment from someone or that office that made you dance on your toes thinking it's done? Did you even call your clan members, relatives and friends to inform them that soon you will be fine and they meet you a year later not yet sorted? I remember the day I got an appointment in state house with Mr. Byaruhanga I danced the whole night! Very expectant, I woke up too early and made my way to Nakasero with a handbag for carrying my Cheque of 2.5 million tuition debt but lost air at the entrance of the office.

I reached into my bag to remove a long letter that I had written to the President but he quickly told me just to say why I came? Before I finished explaining he asked who told me that there wa...

Saving is one of the most valuable modern way civilised society of 21st Century are encouraged to do to prepare for the future of their young generation. Yes, it's paramount to save because that is how todays Community survive. Banks are the center of world saving destinations everyone yearn to have a portion marked in his or her name. That is the best option you can ever take to create a future that is bright for those who follows you. But, at some point, it has become a center of acquiring wealth and richesness to some who work in them. It may sounds rediculious to many people. Anyway, the question is: how is it a source of richesness to them? While talking with a female bank manager, she made a scary revelation to me. She told me of how African and over sea bank vaults are filled with monies of dead men who kept their bank accounts secret from their wife and family members. She explained it was against bank ethics or policies for an account officer to inform the relative...

T he biggest question I am tackling today is something that many people think it's just words that happens overnight, but in actual sense success is aloof and rational. To  begin with, What is this we call success? How did it really comes to be success? For over five years now, I have been researching and observing how successful people  starts up and talk when addressing a gathering or invited to inspire young people at various levels both local, national and International. Mostly, if not 'all', successful people tend to throw stones on the innocent listeners/generation (the unsuccessful), pushing them at the corner to think success comes by hard work, passions or volunteerism.
