Oral Literature of the Maasai by Naom...
Oral Literature of the Maasai offers an extensive collection of types of oral literature: oral narratives; proverbs; riddles; and a variety of songs for different occasions. The versions in this book were collected by the author from a specific Maasai community in Kajiado County of Kenya.
The author listened to many of the narratives and participated in many proverb and riddle telling sessions as she grew up in her Ilbissil village of Kajiado Central Sub-county. However, she recorded most of the examples of oral literature in the early seventies with the help of her mother, who performed the role of the oral artist. Many songs were recorded from live performances.
The examples ring with individuality, while also revealing a comprehensive way of life of a people. The images in the literature reveal the concrete life of the Maasai – people living closely with their livestock and engaged in constant struggle with the environment. But like all important literature, the materials here ultimately reveal a people with its moral and spiritual concerns, grappling with questions of human values and relations, struggling for a better social order.
This book recommends itself to the general reader. However, the book is more than this: it includes stimulating discussions of examples, as well as review questions and exercises. The book is highly recommended to students of oral literature at secondary school level and at the university.

In It Together: The Beautiful Struggl...
It shows that deep down we are truly-and literally-one and the same.
The book shows how the phrases "self-discipline" and "spiritual freedom" refer to the exact same thing. In the way the book uses the terms, to be "self-disciplined" is to be "free-spirited", and vice versa.
This is a book that uses a friendly, kind, loving, and humorous tone to tie together philosophy, spirituality, and self-help with long-standing universal truths from all ages, regions, and times.
It includes quotes from a diverse array of philosophers, artists, scientists, and spiritual teachers, including but not limited to Albert Einstein, Alan Watts, Carl Jung, Osho, Sam Harris, Ram Dass, Meister Eckhart, Eckhart Tolle, Rabbi Tina Sobo, Friedrich Nietzsche, David J Mauro, Vincent Van Gogh, George Bernard Shaw, Socrates, Voltaire, Voltairine de Cleyre, Jesus, Dr. Wayne Dyer, Shakespeare, René Descartes, Rev. Dr. John Watson, and both a prisoner named Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn as well as the man who imprisoned him.
It was inspired by the questioned, "What is the opposite of temptation?"
The book answers that question and so many more. Without preaching, the book provides a unifying, loving, and deeply compelling message that paves a path to inner peace, true happiness, and spiritual freedom (a.k.a. self-discipline). The reader is left empowered, motivated, and inspired.
As the opening letter in the book states, "Stay strong, my friends. There's beauty in the struggle. There's so much to overcome, but imagine what it could mean to overcome it."

Monday Motivation PROFOUND by Larry Liza
Station Master Eburru and Other Stori...
In this collection of intimate, absorbing, and very human stories, Pheroze Nowrojee takes his readers back in time. The setting is the Kenya colony, roiling with undercurrents of discomfort, disaffection, and outright disobedience as colonial administrators attempted to enforce the racial stratification, coerced labour, and resource extraction that strictly benefitted themselves and their overlords.
Some laws, including those targeting suspected Mau Mau sympathizers, were modelled on the South African laws, which were much admired by the Kenya colonial administration.
Ordinary life persisted in the colony. In the Asian African community, this manifested in family businesses, cultural and religious occasions, sports events, or culinary traditions. But as people went about their daily tasks—engaging in humble livelihoods, pursuing an education, seeking adventure, finding romance, or actively resisting the colonial enterprise—the unjust British occupation and its aftermath pervaded every space and affected every relationship.
Lets Discuss: Money Making Models by ...
The ability to make more money depends on how open we are to possibilities of making money from other models outside what we are used to.
For example, a security guard might take more money home from the solicitation model than regular job.
An employee might make more money through investing than from employment.
CEO Excellence: The Six Mindsets That...
Being a CEO at any of the world’s largest companies is among the most challenging roles in business. Billions, and even trillions, are at stake—and the fates of tens of thousands of employees often hang in the balance. Yet, even when “can’t miss” high-achievers win the top job, very few excel. Thirty percent of Fortune 500 CEOs last fewer than three years, and two out of five new CEOs are perceived to be failing within eighteen months.
For those who shoulder the burden of being the one on whom everyone counts, a manual for excellence is sorely needed.
To identify the 21st century’s best CEOs, the authors of CEO Excellence started with a pool of over 2400 public company CEOs. Extensive screening distilled that group into an elite corps, sixty-seven of whom agreed to in-depth, multi-hour interviews. Among those sharing their views: Jamie Dimon (JPMorgan Chase), Satya Nadella (Microsoft), Reed Hastings (Netflix), Kazuo Hirai (Sony), Ken Chenault (American Express), Mary Barra (GM), and Peter Brabeck-Letmathe (Nestlé).
What came out of those frank, no-holds-barred conversations is a rich array of mindsets and actions that deliver outsized performance. Compelling, practical, and unprecedented in scope, CEO Excellence is a treasure trove of wisdom from today’s most elite business leaders.
Tuki English Swahili Dictionary
TUKI English - Swahili Dictionary is the most up to date dictionary of current English. It is published after more than a century since Madan published the first English - Swahili Dictionary in 1894, and half a century since Johnson (1939) was published. Johnson (1939) English - Swahili Dictionary, hitherto the most elaborate and authoritative dictionary, was compiled with the objective of helping the user to comprehend English texts.
With the changing needs of a dictionary user, a new dictionary was necessary for two reasons : (1) to record new words and new meanings of words which the language acquired during the last 55 years, and (2) to provide some lexicographical information that current dictionary users need.
TUKI English-Swahili Dictionary was written with this background. It's vocabulary covers a wide range of lexicon that includes both the general language and specialized language. It has more than 50,000 entries, some of which are technical words. It should however be emphasized that technical words which have been entered in this dictionary are only those which appear in the general language although they still belong to the specialized fields.
English as a world language is not always used the same way throughout the English world. It has some variations in form and meaning of words which are specific to one region or country. The language has also some words that suggest a particular style, attitude or level of formality. It has words which have been borrowed from other languages in recent years. This dictionary provides adequate information about some of these aspects so as to alert the user on when and where a word can or cannot be used and the connotation it may have to the audience.
The Scavengers
Scavengers is a story of twists and turns in relationships, and personal interests, that all make a complex entangled web in a community that straddles the traditional and modern. It is a tale of widowhood occasioned by close family friends, the clash of views on a widow’s and masculinity’s place in society. … will there is justice? Or even, poetic justice? Moreover, this is a story about a mother who faces challenges in raising a son to become a professional she would be proud of, only to be disappointed that a child, even having qualified into one of the most prestigious professions, can reject it as her dream! He would pursue his own career course!
