For example, in my daily schedule I want to create time for reading Keynes’s Essay on Persuasion, I want to read some poetry and probably write a verse in my collection of literature short stories. See, this means that I have to wake up as early as 4 am as per my schedule. But the sweet morning sleep won’t allow me to wake up until the threat of being ate for work makes itself credible. In the evening I am just too tired to do anything except dipping my hand in plate to my mouth a task I wish I could delegate. The cycle repeats itself, and I have read Essays for a year now, I don’t remember the last time I wrote a paragraph in my collection. The list for ‘I will do’ grows longer every hour. You too are a victim, think of that weight, business and tasks you wish you had done.<br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Typically, the human body desires comfort and is lazy unless trained otherwise.

This means it will favor sleep for exercise, movies for reading, and soaps to news and so on and so forth. Here is the thing, if it was easy, then everybody else would have done it and they would be that rich, fit, and successful in various fields. But because it hurts very few have achieved their desired ends. They have experienced results of their works. Therefore, that task you are undertaking is unlikely to yield any visible results unless you do it till it hurts. The more it hurts the higher the results one is likely to get. In this regard, the boldness and selflessness to do it even if it hurts is an exceptional character that entrepreneurs do by will and the workers are compelled to have. The one who is forced achieves results for the business but at a personal achieve less. <br />

Well, things are not that good from the look of various games. At least for the majority of us who are over ambitious betting has not been that good.  Let us say, for instance, last weekend. I placed various bets that should have returned something. they didn't. I split my five hundred to various hundreds and placed in different games. The last of my hopes was the Liverpool game that was saddening to watch. From that Liverpool game I lost some cool five thousand shillings that might have flowered my weekend. I mean, we always consider the possible winnings as what we have lost but not the initial one hundred we have placed.<o:p></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">Don’t get me wrong, people are making a living from betting especially football fans. In this case, betting creates strong ties that go past team support. So, the next time you are watching an Arsenal game and you realize an Arsenal fan cursing after  they have scored in the last minute, take your time to ask them where they had placed their money before criticizing their loyalty to the team. All this said, I am placing my money on West Bromwich as they play against my team Chelsea tonight. I don’t have enough reasons but my instincts say so. I am certain about Fiorentina, but the Chelsea game is a bit risky. Mou is one of those managers who are driven by incentives, where there is no reason, he is likely to try things and is not afraid to lose. Napoli is also certain, but this is football. So my five hundred will multi-bet West Brom,  Fiorentina and Napoli. Let’s see what happens tomorrow. <o:p></o:p></div>

REVEALED-AN ANTISOCIAL METHOD OF MAKING MONEY THAT IS MAKING MEN RICH

Yet there is always a point in considering all the factors at hand. In this case, conventional wisdom has it that the more factors are taken into account the more accurate the prediction is likely to be. Save in fair gambling where one must eventually apply closed eyes guesses, the world of business has most of its future influenced by the cost of money. There is no a hen-egg relationship between stock prices and exchange rates and the performance of the goods markets. Contrary, there is a causal relationship in which the prices of stocks and the shilling are a reflection of the underlying goods and services markets. This is why a statement like “the central bank will take measures to curb speculation of the shilling” are very sensitive to any Kenyan investor. As a matter of fact, the statement may be an enough measure on its own or it may serve to worsen the situation.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">The value of the Kenyan shilling has been falling for some time now. The tendency of buying the dollar in anticipation of a further rise to sell is what speculation entails. It’s not a sin, but if not curbed is likely to devalue the shilling as more purchases and sells justify themselves in actuality. Generally, as many people hold the dollar anticipating for its price to rise, there action is justified in actuality because by holding, they create a scarcity that will eventually rise the price of the dollar. On the other hand, people transacting internationally are unwilling to hold a shilling that is continuously losing value. The end result will be lower values of the shilling against the dollar. <o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">With this narrative, different entities walk in the streets with different intentions of using the knowledge acquired. The legislator, or the government is looking for means of using this information in eliminating the speculative tendencies so that the shilling reacts to the market changes only. The other group of players are the financial institutions that are salivating at this opportunities but are scared of the suspicious eyes closely cast on them by the legislator. They have high potential of benefiting from the speculation if they transact on a large scale but that amounts to biting the hand that feeds them. The group I always admire are the investors and speculators who hope that the legislator holds for just one day for an extra point rise. Lastly, there are the masses who just don’t know where the hell the ship is heading to until the unfriendly tides of high prices and interest rates come calling. Then, the speculators will be lending from their harvest at exorbitant rates.<o:p></o:p></div><br /><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">However, with the central bank threat to curb speculation we are likely to see lesser speculation if not reversed one as speculators await the value of the Ksh to rise. <o:p></o:p></div>

Of course any speculator would have expected a similar trend, where the share prices hit record lows after the initial offer and then start moving up as the popularity of the shares declines. While the wisdom of trading shares may appear conventional to a majority of business people, majority of the public are not interested in them at all. Funny enough, the names of extravagantly wealthy individuals who have made it in the stocks, the likes of Buffet are at the fingertips of each wannabe investor.

In this case, the plant is our knowledge which we must care and grow daily. As applied in the stock market for instance, knowledge refers to the power that enables one to trade confidently in the stock market. It ranges from basics of what stocks are, how one earns income in the stocks, to the complicated matrices and tools that are employed in predicting the direction of various prices in the market. Knowledge of the basics is enough for one to invest their extra income in the stocks. However, it is not sanctioned in any holy book that one must trade in the stocks to attain financial freedom. There are a lot of other avenues for generating extra income. For example you may think of a bar, a kinyozi and of course the most recently rewarding investment of a church among others. All we are doing here is to create choices through which prudent investors may put their extra income as the retirement age unnoticeably approaches. Have a blessed weekend. </div>

However, through marketing and branding, we were made to believe that the match was fiercer than the heavyweight championship we were previously used to and hence was not something to be missed. We went further to unearth details of each of the two champions so that we may have talking points on the topic in bars and after church. The perception created was that the match would be between a righteous hard worker, a man who believes, and a powerful elitist with little respect for faith. This made the match personal and that is why we almost fought after the match and my throat is still sore.</div><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal">What then is there for business entities to be gained pertaining marketing and branding? One, people do not care much about the content and the quality of the product. Contrary, creating an attitude or a perception about the product in the mind of individuals is a more powerful driver of demand than the type of the product. Secondly, branding involves creating feelings and making personal connections to individuals. Making the customer associate with the product is one way to create interest. How the promoters of this match achieved exaggerated success, especially through the social media, is a subject of special interest to anyone with the capitalistic spirit of the entrepreneur.  </div><br /><div> <br /><div><div class="msocomtxt" id="_com_1" language="JavaScript"><div class="MsoNormal"><br /></div></div></div><div><div class="msocomtxt" id="_com_3" language="JavaScript"></div></div></div>
