The Paradox Of Our Times

“The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.

We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom. We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.

We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.

We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships.

These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...

Remember, to spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever. Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.

Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.

Remember, to say, "I love you" to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.

Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person might not be there again. Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.”

Kilimo cha Miti ya Mbao - Uwekezaji wa Muda wa Kati na Mrefu

Utangulizi Kilimo cha miti ni uwekezaji wa muda wa kati na mrefu (mid & long term investments). Ila kwa kawaida jamii nyingi hasa za kiafrika huwa hazivutiwi na uwekezaji wa muda mrefu. Hata hivyo kama una mpango wa kuwa imara kiuchumi inashauriwaau yakupasa kufikiria na kujifunza aina za uwekezaji wa muda mrefu. Miti hutumika kwa matumizi mengi mfano mbao, nguzo za umeme na kujengea, mapambo, kuni na mkaa, kuzalisha matunda, mitishamba na madawa,  utengenezeaji wa karatasi n.k.  Mchanganuo Ekari moja ya shamba unaweza kupanda miti mia sita (500) mpaka mia saba (700). Gharama za kununua mashamba au maeneo ya kupandia miti hutegemea na eneo. Kwa  sehemu nyingi za vijijini maeneo kwa ekari moja hayazidi laki 5.  Miche ya kununua mfano Mitiki huuzwa kuanzia elfu moja (1000) kwa mche mmoja Gharama ya kununua miche =  1000 * 600 = 600,000   Pia unaweza kuokoa gharama za kununua miche kwa kuioteshe mwenyewe ktk vitalu na kuiamishia shambani baada ya kustawi v...

Uandaaji na Uoteshaji wa Mbegu za Mitiki

Utangulizi Mbegu za mitiki zinapatikana Tanzania Tree Seed Agency wako Msamvu Morogoro.Kilo moja ya mbegu za mitiki inatosha kuotesha kwenye shamba la hekta moja, ambayo ni wastani wa miti 1500 Matayarisho: Ganda la nje la mbengu ya mtiki ni gumu sana na lina sumu mbaya.Unatakiwa uloweke mbegu ya mitiki kwa masaa 72, na kila baada ya masaa 12 unatakiwa ubadilishe maji kwa kumwaga maji ya zamani na kuweka maji mapya.
