Taifa masikini ni la watu masikini. Ama, ubora wa kanzu ni nyuzi zake! Katika kitabu chake maarufu cha ‘The Wealth of Nations’, Mwanafalsafa maarufu Adam Smith anasema; “Wakati wote kila mtu binafsi anatumia mtaji alionao kutafuta ajira yenye kipato zaidi. Hakika, ni faida anayoipata yeye binafsi ndiyo anayoitazama, na siyo ile ya jamii. Lakini, anavyoichunguza faida hiyo binafsi, kwa kawaida tu, au kwa kulazimika, inampelekea yeye kupendelea zaidi ajira ambayo huwa ya faida zaidi kwa jamii (Uk. 454).

“Welcome to my blog”
Its after I have been active in the social media for sometimes when I realized how long my comments have always been. In fact, a very simple comment on a friends’ status would trigger sentences and sentences from me (No wonder I am lazy with twitter). The truth is, my Facebook posts have been rather long and wordy… and even my son once warned me that people don’t like reading long stuff in Facebook!.. Nevertheless, I kept on writing long ‘stuff’ until I accepted the fact that I needed a bigger space. Apparently, I am not a journalist nor have I been trained to write or report for the media. But I am a person who loves to ‘think and wonder aloud’. Moreover, the coming of social media has encouraged all of us to express ideas, moods, feelings and worries in writing, hasn’t it? So I have encouraged myself to be a blogger, and I invite you to join me. So please do not be offended if you find my writing ‘journalist-ically insufficient’…
