Wisdom of Leadership Youths Platform

Kenya at 50 is the new US in terms of the opportunities, this is the time for true leadership to make sure we get developed and industrialized, the old like the status quo coz it's all they have to show for there success, as such they oppose any changes. How are the elites to go about this obstacles and reach the goal?

pure capitalism is at inhumane as pure socialism also a flaw, there is a State of harmony that when achieved between the two, then a chance for good leadership is set. TOPIC

He was put to death by being forced to drink poison made from hemlock, a plant that gradually paralyses the body. Socrates said goodbye to his wife and three sons, and then gathered his students around him. If he had the choice to carry on living quietly, not asking any more difficult questions, he would not take it. He'd rather die than that. He had an inner voice that told him to keep questioning everything, and he could not betray it. Then he drank the cup of poison. Very soon he was dead.

▪ Plato thought that letting the people vote was like letting the passengers steer a ship – far better to let people who knew what they were doing take charge.

▪ Plato thought, a balance that was like a well-balanced mind with the reasonable part keeping the emotions and desires in control.

"Similarly, Plato thought, if you want to understand what goodness is, then you need to concentrate on the Form of goodness, not on particular examples of it that you witness. Philosophers are the people who are best suited to thinking about the Forms in this abstract way; ordinary people get led astray by the world as they grasp it through their senses."

" If you want to understand what a circle is, you should focus on the Form of the circle, not actual circles that you can draw and experience through your visual sense, all of which are imperfect in some way"

"Ordinary people have little idea about reality because they are content with looking at what's in front of them rather than thinking deeply about it. But the appearances are deceptive. What they see are shadows, not reality."

Youths we need to take care, something is going a miss and we don't seem to realize,we no longer want the manual labor, no it's too hard, we want to sit write few papers and earn a lot, which is a good thing but picture this, do you know that this is the very begging of our colonization? when white came to Africa their problem was not someone to work in the offices but the actual person with the hands on skills that could actually construct a structure and let people see, not an architect who knows the measurements but cannot lay a first stone,very soon and sooner than I can imagine we are gonna lack people with hands on skills even in our gardens,that means no food for the growing population subsequently we will resort to seeking food from other countries, and the easist way to make a man your slave is through food trust me, if I want to get you to mop my floor, I just invite you for a meal first time, buy you a nice twice or thrice, next time I invite you to my place, you come and find me seated like a boss on the veranda and tell you am feeling tired help me with the mopping, it's very unlikely you would refuse, same way once we're will be fed by foreign countries say like Japan or so, the moment they'll demand anything from us it will almost be impossible to refuse despite the fact that it could be so critical to the development of our nation what they ask, can we allow ourselves to get dirty before we're colonized again.

so concerning the leadership of Kenya, frankly speaking and not taking any favors, i tend to believe that most , if not all of our leaders in one way or another are just defending what they got from their parents that were once leaders here, they represent the family that dominated a given region for a particular time and whose reign is still felt, just to sight a few Raila in Nyanza, Uhuru in central, Mudavadi in Western and so forth. An individual may easily inherit bad habits or worst still defend bad deeds as long as it comes from the parents, for this we could all be susceptible. Ruto came from nowhere and the difference can be felt when he speaks, atleast when he used to speak he spoke the common people's language that went straight into our hearts, but power corrupts you know.Kenya is becoming worse and evil is done openly without fear of consequences and what could be worse if not young people who follow blindly, we may not have the resources but unity attracts the same, can we for once as young people drop our differences based on tribal factors, nobody asked God to be in the tribe they were born, and bring sanity to our country, by default we should live longer than the old folks that translates to suffering longer if we don't come together, hear me out and let's be productive.
