Cups of Copy

“Allow me to be straight-to-the-point; however I’ll clarify with 14 down-to-earth course of action. We are all living with the objective of being happy.” At times the path to happiness depends more on what you  don't  do. Happiness in your business life and your personal life is often a matter of subtraction, not addition. Reflect on, for instance, what happens when you   stop   doing the following little and snappy things: *Notice how headers are stressed in present active tense  J  “ ing ” --to indicate time of action is NOW! ...and this is it; 1. Blaming. People make mistakes. Friends piss us off. Employees don't meet your expectations. Vendors don't deliver on time... then your spouse leaves you 100 bob when you projected for a thousand! So you blame them for your problems. But you're also to blame. Maybe you didn't provide enough training. Perhaps the timing too is not appropriate. Maybe you didn't build in enough of a...

The dangers of driving while imbibed or texting (Must Read!) Do Not Drink and Drive I went to the party and remembered what you said. You asked me not to drink alcohol, so I drank a Sprite instead. I felt proud of myself, as you said I should feel. You said I should not drink and drive, contrary to what some friends told m e. I made a healthy choice and your advice was correct, as it always is. When the party finally ended, people began to drive without being able to do so properly. I went to my car with the certainty that I would return home in peace. I never imagined what awaited me, Mom. Now I'm lying in the street and I hear the policeman say: "The kid that caused this accident was drunk". Mom, his voice seems so distant. My blood is spilled everywhere and I'm trying with all my might not to moan. I can hear the doctors say, "This girl is going to die". I have the certainty that the young man, who ran at full speed, decided ...

"My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all,  try to understand what I’m going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’ t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”... Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep. When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl? When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way... remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life’s issues every day of every month... the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient,...

Whatever it is, just be right! WHAT IS YOUR DEDICATION TO THE MOTHERLAND AS A CITIZEN? "Before you hit 50 or you are past fifty, do something at least remarkable enough for your motherland to discover, even if it’s only planting a tree so that you give it life while leaving it something behind when it’s time for the nation to say its farewell to you. As for now, I don’t think we need excellent or super-patriots. We just need patriotism, honestly practiced by all of us, and we don’t need these people that are more patriotic than others or anybody else." I keep wondering what is all this whining about with some people. If you’re coughing, and you don’t have a strategic plan, your Christmas windfall seems not to be forthcoming then all of a sudden your box Television was about to be switched off: - So, you can’t eat your cake? Let it dawn on you, you’re fundamentally KENYAN! STOP wimping @ us. We are in every respect celebrating OUR country, its peo...

She's almost burnt white!

– A ‘Horse’ Called “Marylou” Laughter is the best medicine A Man was sitting quietly reading his paper one Saturday morning, peacefully enjoying himself, and the wife busy doing laundry - when she suddenly STOPS, sneaks up behind him and slaps him on the back of his head with a frying pan - MAN: “What the heck was that for?” WIFE: “What the heck is this piece of paper in your pants pocket with the name Marylou written on it for? MAN: Oh honey, remember two weeks ago when I went to the horse races at Ngong? Marylou was one of the best horses I placed a bet on.” The wife looked all satisfied, composes, apologizes, and goes off to do chores around the house. 3 days later the man is once again sitting in his favorite couch watching the news bulletin and the wife this time not hiding her rage, burst out and smacks the right-side of his head with his phone. MAN: “Ouch…! My phone!! What was that for this time…?” WIFE: “Your horse phoned.” ………………………………………………….. ::...

WHERE HE LEADS ME In “pastures green?” Not always. Every so often He, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. For He knoweth best when it is, to test my strength. And by “still waters?” No, not always so; Oftentimes the heavy thunderstorms Round me blows, pour and rain me down, And over my soul the waves and clouds go, But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry aloud for help, ‘Tis here along with everyplace, the Master standeth by, and whispers to my soul..., “Hello, this is I.” So, where He leads me, I can safely go, and in the blest hereafter I shall know, Why in wisdom He hath led me so. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Power of Prayer A poorly dressed old lady with a look of defeat on her face, walked into a grocery store. She was asking over for assistance and approached the owner of the store in a most humble manner and asked if he would let her take on credit a few foodstuff. She softly explained that her husband was very ill and unable to work, they had seven children and they needed food. The grocer scoffed at her and requested that she leave his store. Imagining the family needs, she said: "Please, sir! I will bring you the money just as soon as I can."  The Grocer told her he could not give her credit, as she did not have a credit account at his store. Standing beside the counter was a customer who overheard the conversation between the two. The customer strolled forward and told the grocer that he would stand good for whatever the old lady needed for her family.  The grocer turned to the lady and in a very reluctant voice said, "Do you have a grocer...

It Just Happened On Her Birthday .................................................................................................................................................................................................. As news-reels roll away from the billows of smoke rising from the tragic mall, darkening hopes of friends and families still missing loved ones despite renting the cold Monday evening scene; and hope, faith or breaking-news leave them without motion or change as more fatalities begin to emerge when a man succumbed to his injuries. But before being admitted to the hospital, he had asked the nurse to call his daughter. He explained, "You see, I live alone and she is the only family I have." The nurse went to phone the daughter, who happened to be celebrating her birthday and she excused herself from her friends, as she had also earlier tried calling emergency lines to inquire about her daddy. The nurse quickly relayed daddy's message. The...

Woman - Thou art Loosed!  A relation-Ship is for two people -- extra relations will sink the Ship. Don’t look in the mirror and see yourself as fat – be content that you’re just easier to be seen.  If weight is your issue, be happy now as the Police data shows that heavier people are hard to kidnap. Do not smoke. Wine and dine once awhile -- occasionally drink a glass of water simply to surprise your liver.  If you missed hitting the Gym today, don’t be stressed. Just hit the person who gives you stress!  Life is too short to be in constant worry. Brush your teeth, apply lip-gloss and smile without restraint – if you feel terrific, notify your face. Make your marriage work for you; like a Workshop -- the hubby works hard and the wife shops! Treat every man in your life like computer hardware – he cannot function properly without software! And remember, the road to your success is full of unmarked signs put up by men. Don’t complain of having nothing ...

How to Bargain with a Kenyan Thief Withdraw | Read » Share » Tweet » ReTweet » SMS » M-Pesa » Post » Do whatever You can... LoL! » Just Do It! "Lipa na Mpesa" Benson Kariuki of 0723587757. He stole money from me and is absolutely confident that I will never find him. #MPesatheft is rampant in Kenya and there seems to be no way to stop it. Safaricom previously implemented automatic transaction reversals when a customer reported  having sent money to the wrong number, but our ingenious thieves then started recalling money they had paid to merchants and Safaricom had to stop the service. The thugs won….I don’t think so!!! BECAUSE,  you and I are about to do something about this menace. You have, at least once, sent money to the wrong number. Before this incident, I had too. I accidentally bought someone phone credit worth 200/-. I texted said person and asked them politely to return the money. I got no reply, and at t...
