Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future. Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. "You're not going to remember those expensive shoes you bought ten years ago, but you will remember every single morning when you look at your bank account that extra 0 in there. I promise, that's going to be way more fun to look at everyday", I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life

You're absolutely right, to be a successful in life required not only hard work but awareness and sometime opportunity at the moment, investment remains the best way to start.

Some of us were taken in by the president's campaign rallying call, HATUPANGWINGWI, and mistook it to mean that he is made of a better mettle and wasn't going to succumb to puppeteering from any quarters, not even the WEF, to which his predecessor (together with his handshake brother) danced themselves silly. What we're seeing now, to our utter disbelief, is the president dancing to the tune of this club of criminal eugenist not only in this country but on the international scene. They're literally taking Kenya (and many other countries) down the same path they took Sri Lanka.

@harrisonmurbi8145 Жыл бұрын

@@kw_akafarmer4058 WEF is NOT and has NEVER been our problem. The biggest problem is that of stealing. Pure and simple. Can you imagine all the foreign companies wanting to do business in Kenya being forced to go elsewhere due to bribery demands? The prof here mentioned Qatar Airways, Unilever etc. The guy who took you in was known to be a thief even before the previous regime (of which he was part and parcel of). But you guys ignored that and still elected him.

It matters little the grandiosity of the investment members of this club set up in this country when their real plan is to enslave us. They've told us in no uncertain terms that 'We will own nothing and be happy'. And you may not know it, but it is this club and it's outcrops, the mega mining, agricultural, industrial, financial, media etc., etc., corporations and non-profits or NGOs owned and run by it's members, that are raining havoc on the world economy today. The fronts on which they're waging war on us are too many to list here but food, energy, medicine, education and cultural (read LGBTQr ) are a few. Do your own research, see independent media.

He would give valuable insight into those as his area of specialization. And without those political biases.
