Can't Change The Wind? Adjust The Sails (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

There is a saying that we can't change the wind, we can only adjust our sails so that we can take great advantage of the natural force caused by the wind. This book is not about marine or naval life, it is about the lives of men and women on the earth and their reactions to situations that face them. In an analogy, we can compare our lives to that of sailors in unknown waters. We make mistakes, live harassed lives and just think it is alright. We can chose to try and change the direction of the wind or simply adjust our sails so that we can reduce the effort of thinking we can beat the wind. Many people want to assume that the problems they are in are as a result of fate. Problems can be surmounted and even turned for advantage just like the wind. When confronted with situations, every one of us has a method of reacting, some will go hyper, others comatose, others confused, others will be in full control. All these are because we come to the world wired with batteries included. However, I think that we also come with some wires loose and they have to be riveted by the people we grow up with. In the process of the riveting, some of the loose wires are riveted to the wrong terminal nodes. Problem is that the wrongly riveted terminals cannot just be plucked loose again, they have to be massaged loose over time and re-riveted to the correct points. In some cases, we are impatient to let anyone massage the wrongly riveted wire ends loose; instead, we make do with them.

Autorenporträt

Will Anthony Jr. is currently the Chairman of the Uasin Gishu County Land Control Board which caters for over one million people. Before this stint, he worked in other capacities with the National government. He has also been lecturer in three religious institutions, a service to the youth to gather knowledge from the aging population. In his life time, Will Anthony Jr. says he has met a lot of people and can unflinchingly say that he loved most of them. Why most of them? Well, it is a tall order to love everyone you meet! Will Anthony Jr. has written several e-books touching on diverse subjects that relate to society. The books extensively cover human social and economic practices and this is so because expertise in one field in Africa can become a drudgery according to his practical view. His perception is that if you were born in Africa and the continent is your aboriginal home, you are likely to have English as your second language (ESL). Sometimes it could even be a third language. For him, he had to learn his mother tongue then learn both English and Swahili simultaneously. He went to his pre-primary bare foot, later he joined the local primary school 5 Km away and had to trek barefoot again not because his parents could not buy him shoes but because cobblers were a rare find. That journey was a daily toil of 10 Km, 5 days in a week or ~270 days yearly for 7 years. With a smirk he says that when you achieve a PhD in Africa, then You have done Plenty of hard Digging (PhD) or you have a Permanent head Damage (PhD) and you might end up in a ditch because your IQ cannot contain the booze like the local fellas!
"Why did the English colonize Africa?" To keep the African languages in Czech (check), and he says that one must forgive this pun. But besides the pun, English has broken both social and economic barriers of the once "dark continent" whose forefathers slaved the white farms and firms to lace the pockets of their Lords.
A PhD holder in Africa will still practice other 'trades' though they maybe 'very' learned because poverty is shameless, one has to draw bounds through plenty of smart work or else, it will be a shame to steal so as to maintain class.
He published a book in 1992, but the publisher coned him , he took her to court and the case aged in judicial corridors for 12 years. He then made a decision to abandon the matter and to forget about writing books. However, Self publishing made him to change that decision. More tha...
