WHETHER OR NOT
PREZZO WINS, KUDOS FOR TEACHING KENYANS AND ME A WELL DESERVED LESSON…

A young
mosquito went out flying for the first time in its life. When it came back, the
father asked, how was it out there and how did you feel? The young mosquito replied
it was great daddy; every one was clapping hands for me. The father replied: “no
one was clapping hands for you. Every one wanted to kill you! The more they clapped
the more chances you were going to die.”
LESSON: in life, not al the people who celebrate you are well
wishers. Take care and enjoy your life!
That was a text message a buddy of mine sent me the other
day. Today I stand guilty. I am among the hundreds or thousands if not so, of Kenyans
who believed Prezzo would bowl out of the BIG
BROTHER AFRICA STARGAME on the first week. I am sure there are many now who
bet a lot of cash and ended up losing as Prezzo went on overcoming the many
probations and eviction arrows and slings shot at him.
One thing Africa is
known for, is not believing in one of their own fully. We end up killing our
own sun. And Kenyans we are guilty at that. We tend to associate with one of
our own when he is about to win. The “unsung heroes mentality” is what I like
to describe it.
But Prezzo has taught me one thing. Heroism is not his
star. His eye was on the prize and to represent his country in the house. His patriotism
to the flag was evident on his clads and how he talked positively about Kenya
He has had his own weaknesses just like any man in the
house but today I choose to focus on the positive lessons Prezzo has taught Kenyans.
Ask nothing of anyone. Forget about what people say of
your talent, fitness or anything. In the way of assessment, ask nothing of
anyone. We all know people are going to despise you but keep on focusing on
your sole purpose and goal.
Be polite when their opinions come along and send them
loving thanks for their thoughts.
Never live in this world trying to please anyone with
what you do. If you know what you are doing is right, then do it. Never focus
on the outcome of your efforts nor let results motivate you.
Be motivated by the inner awareness of having a heroic
mission and staying with it, regardless of outcomes.
So, the only way as Kenyans we can appreciate Prezzo’s
well deserved lesson is by voting for him now. Vote! Vote! Vote!
