Buddha said before you speak let your word pass through three gates: Is it valuable, is it necessary and is it making any difference to the person who understands it what, when, where, and how much to speak.

No one can stop that person from being successful. A spoken word never comes back just like a spent arrow never comes back.

Words are like weapons that you must be learned to use properly. Because the person who has no control over their speaking, always put themselves in trouble they lost control over everything. 

Even today, people only speak to humiliate each other. Sometimes they speak without any reason just to get valid but rewards are very powerful and it can change the world if you know how to speak.

So the people who know when to speak and how much to speak, are very strong and very powerful. Now let me make it clear. Silence is not meaning to stay without saying a word. Here silence means not speaking anything without any valuable reason.

It means speaking only when it is necessary or valuable silence means, laser focus. Silence means focusing on your goal, focusing on your work.

So today i will tell you five powerful benefits of being silent and it will transform your life completely.

Number one: Silence makes your opponent confused

The greatest warrior sons who said he will we who knows when to speak and why not to speak.

He said he defeated thousands of his enemies with his power of silence. So many times he puts his enemies into deep thinking by staying silent. He said, when you stay silent it makes your enemies perplexed and they start thinking about you and your plan.

That's what you are gonna do. What's your next move because of the fear in this way they lost focus on their own goals and this is how you can keep your plans secret and this is how you can take advantage of the silence and at the end the game is yours. You can win it in your style.

Number two: Silence builds laser focus

Silence is not the absence of words but the presence of focus.

Silent people have lots of ideas and things to say but they don't speak unless it is necessary.

If you want to do something big in life or if you work on any kind of project, then what would you do to get success? You need focus. And what did you need to have that kind of laser focus?

You need to stop focusing on multiple things and keep quiet. Let me tell you a story about a mosque. In his childhood used to stay silent most of the time so their parents thought he had a hearing problem because most of the time he couldn't hear anything their parents took him to the hospital but the doctor said he was well. 

Number three: Silence gets people's attention

Now you are gonna realize how silence gets people's attention if you have ever been in a classroom or in a group situation you have most likely experienced how silence often gets everyone's attention.

If the teacher is talking away the listener's mind might start to wonder. When the speaker stops talking, a signal goes to the brain that something has happened. All of them suddenly pay attention to try and figure out why communication has stopped. 

The same is true in our daily conversation. If we are silent people take note and we gain their attention. If you stay silent and focus on your goal if you speak only when it is necessary then people's focus goes on if you stay silent and speak only about what is valuable then people will listen to you.

People will remember you and recommend you.

Number four: Silence builds trust 

In order to achieve success, connecting with successful people and developing effective relationships becomes very essential for me.

A relationship is very important in life. So if you want to develop effective relationships or if you want to connect with successful people. What you need to do, you must build trust and to build trust you must listen to them carefully. That's what successful people do.

They do not do all the talking but you can see some people when they meet with successful people start chattering. They go busy talking about their own stuff but successful people mostly focus on listening. They ask questions about the other person and listen to them.

When you listen to a person carefully, they will realize they are valuable in your life. They will feel as an important person and in this way, they will trust them.

Number five: Silence helps to negotiate 

When the other person is silent you wonder what they might be thinking. So turn the tables. Let them wonder what you are thinking. Maybe you got a job and have been asked for a salary or the company mentions a salary figure but you want more than that. So do not answer immediately. Do not say I will take it no,  pause stay silent for a moment. The discomfort of the silence will make the other person want to feel the void and start talking.

Let them reveal information that helps you to have the upper hand moving forward in the conversation.

Number six: Silence build strength 

Most of us don't like silence and we are afraid of it because we equate silence with insignificance as we want to be heard and seen, liked, and loved by people. We all want people's attention. We all want to be seen by people. We always want to be something or someone good in the eyes of another person.

We are depending on other people's opinion as their opinion makes us feel good. Also sometimes their opinions make us feel bad. So we give our power away. We are constantly in search of something we already have. But we already have everything we truly need but we can't recognize them until we become silent and get rid of distractions.

 Silence gives us a sense of self-value. Everything is within us if we recognize how to connect.

Allowing silence to listen to our breath, opens the possibility to find out the self-value right there you don't need people to tell you who you are and what you are capable of, what you can and what you can't. Which they ultimately tell you from their own limited perspective.

Instead of that, if we stay silent we would find our inner voice and would realize that we are already all we need to be.

And accepting who you are is a victory. Silence will make you realize what's your strength. Silence will help you define your strength. Silence is really really powerful.

Mukesh Ambani leaves Audience Speechless | Ambani's Inspirational Speech.

Dream big. Align your passion and purpose in life with a goal. 

If you focus on the goal, you will overcome all obstacles. If you focus on obstacles, you will never reach your goal. 

Today, I want to share with you the most important lessons I have learned from over time during this phenomenal Journey. The first lesson is courage: And I have seen it in a whole lot of you.

Nobody has ever achieved anything big in business or in any Walk of Life without courage. Of course whenever you do anything big you do feel a little scared but you've got to conquer fear to discover the hidden hero within you. 

With courage, with self-belief and the can-do spirit, you overcome any adversity foreign. Therefore, I want today's Young leaders to realize that achieving your potential is the quest of the ordinary. Conquering the impossible is your destiny. 

The second lesson I have learned is feel empathy: Empathy means caring and sharing with every human being in our organization and the World At Large. 

The More We Care, the higher we grow as human beings. I understand empathy as dilkid, it is the wealth of your heart. The more you spend it on others,the more wealthy you become. 

The third lesson I have learned is, there is no substitute to hard work. Even more important to pursue Excellence, aim at being the best, not just the best in your country, but the best in the world. Pursue excellence and success will chase you. 

The fourth lesson I have learned is something I call dilkarishta. Like my father, I value trust, loyalty and a direct heart-to-heart relationship. 

As we enter Reliance's golden Decay I want to commend these learnings to the Next Generation. The future belongs to you. Today you have a fabulous platform that will enable you to achieve multiples of what has been achieved by my generation. 

I have learned is to have absolute faith in technology and talent. It is very important to be positive and optimistic in life. 

Dismiss the prophets of Doom. Have self-confidence, believe in yourself and above all believe in your country because this country gives every person the opportunity to realize his dreams and I think the best of India is yet to come in every business we have started. 

We have always embraced the latest technology and have attracted the best talent. When top technology and talent work together, they produce unbeatable creativity, Innovation and invention. 

You take our own example, my father started Reliance with a hundred dollars. When I joined Reliance in 1980, market value of Reliance was 30 or 40 million dollars and in 30 years, the opportunities that were provided by this country has enabled us to create wealth for India. 

I really have my father as my role model and he started off with nothing and one of the things that he said to me is that, you really don't know Mukesh, What it is to be poor. 

The Reliance raised all its money from Capital markets and from Individual small shareholders so we've created a million millionaires just by investing in Reliance out of ordinary Indians and that is the process of creating wealth for the country. 

Once you create opportunity, wealth comes and make sure that you maintain everybody's self-respect. So when you give people, hold their hand on this basis don't give on that basis right . When you give and if people hold their hand like this, that means they bless you. 

 That's the way to give and in a certain sense some amount of anonymous giving or doing things that change societies doing things that leave a lasting impact and even if it be creation of businesses, creation of jobs, right creation of sustainable institutions that last beyond you is the best way that you can contribute to India. 

My father was a big believer that any business that has the sole purpose of making money is not worth doing right. Business must serve a larger societal purpose. 

Friends, today Reliance is a global leader in energy and materials where operating safely is an obsession and with Geo and Retail where we have established leadership position. In India we are, customer obsessed. 

As we enter our golden decade, we at Reliance are in a unique position to accomplish what very few companies in the world can even dream of and I have no doubt that the next generation of Reliance will make it a reality. 

May good luck and Fortune shine on each and every one of you and underlines and may every day be even more fulfilling and rewarding for all of us in Wishing you and your families all the very best. 

Good luck God bless and thank you very much for everything.

Warren Buffett :" 12 Things POOR People Waste Money On !"

 

 

The biggest financial asset that you have going for you by miles is the value of your own earning power over the years. 

So that's really what you should focus on. Warren Buffett has mentioned 12 things poor people waste money on. 

1. Credit Card Debt 

Credit cards do have benefits. Many providers offer incentives to spend money using their cards. Like cash-back points, airplane miles and etc. 

In this way credit cards are a smart way to spend money only if you clear the full payment every month. The problems with credit cards arise when you carry a credit balance. The interest rate of the credit card is about 20%. 

That means for every dollar you owed to your credit card company you'll pay an extra 20 cents on top of it. Every month there is an extra 200 dollars of interest on a 1000 dollars credit card balance. So never carry a credit card balance. 

This principle applies to any type of loan or financial obligation that requires paying interest. Please make sure the loan is worth it.

 2. Drinks At Bars 

Money spent on pubs and bars amounts to thousands of dollars per year. A bottle of beer usually costs up to $5 at a bar restaurant. Sometimes closer to $10. If you buy from a grocery store. 

You can expect to get a 6 pack of good beer for about $10 which is at least 3 times cheaper than getting from bars. Most people go to bars for social activities but there are many other ways to meet people. 

Bar owners know that people are willing to spend extra on alcohol as a result people spend a huge amount of money on alcohol at bars. If you want to have drinks with friends you can have a house party.

 4. Gadgets & Devices 

You want the newest and greatest technology because of all the features it gives you on your phone, you get a better camera, a thinner or bigger phone and something that looks new and it is what other people want. 

But if you think about it there is very little difference between one phone to the latest. Even if you have the money to pay for a new phone, It doesn't mean you should buy it. We should compare features and specifications carefully. 

While many shoppers justify splurging on a new device for updated specs, experts cash in that the differences between old and new may be minimal and the price to upgrade may not be worth it. We buy gadgets more often than needed. Like back massagers, cool alarm clocks, fancy toothbrushes and sound systems.

 Although cool, these items are truly not necessary. The next time you see a gadget to lust over think twice before you buy, odds are we usually don't need it. 

5. Spending Too Much On Clothes 

Bill Gates spends so little on clothes he famously wears a Casio watch which costs less than $100. It's something that rich people like. Mark Zuckerberg and Warren Buffett also practice as well as Steve Jobs wear the same New Balance trainers for years. 

Why don't they spend more? There are many things out there that billionaire don't fork over because they understand that money doesn't last forever. They know that it takes a lot of work to earn their wealth and that some things just aren't that important. 

This is not to say that you can't afford luxuries but you can perhaps make better decisions about the things you buy. Mark Zuckerberg goes for the basics to create a uniform look which simplifies his life by giving him one last decision to make in the morning. 

This allows him to focus on his work and the things that matter. Gates goes for function and practicality. So he sticks to his Casio watches and simple looks of button-down shirts and chinos. He learned from Buffet that you don't need much to dress well. 

You need to be comfortable and stay productive. The key is repetition, it's about continuing to wear what you already possessed. In different ways getting more out of your wardrobe and not wasting money. 

A lot of billionaires and millionaires stay at the top in part because they live simple austere lives. With clothes being a good place to make it a practice. 

6. Buying New Cars 

Self-made millionaire and best-selling author David Bach once told CNBC, a brand-new car looks good but it's never worth the price. Nothing you will do in your lifetime will waste more money than buying a new car. 

It's the single worst financial decision millennials will ever make. That's because the moment you drive it on the road the vehicle starts to depreciate. Your car's value typically decreases 20 to 30% by the end of the first year. And in 5 years it will lose at least 60% of its initial value. 

Bach says to make matters worse most people borrow money to buy a new car. Why would you borrow money to buy an asset that immediately goes down in value by 30%? But the good news is you can get a shiny nice smelling car without breaking the bank. 

We can buy a used car that's coming off of a 2 to 3 year lease because that car is almost brand new and you can buy it at that 30% discount. To save others from making this costly mistake, we should follow the 1/10 rule for buying a car. It's simple, spend no more than 10% of your gross annual income on the purchase price of a car. 

7. Not Using The Gym Membership

 According to Statistics, close to 61 million people were members of fitness centers in 2017 But some reports stated almost 70% of memberships go unused after the first few months. 

The business model of most gyms depends on people paying for memberships and not showing up. People join gyms to improve their health and physical fitness. 

Gyms and fitness centers offer members a variety of equipment to use and numerous classes to choose from. However many people join a gym membership even though they aren't committed to working out regularly. A gym membership doesn't make sense if you don't use it regularly.

 Until you can budget for a gym membership without adding more debt. Finding free workout options is a smarter choice. There are plenty of low cost and free options for gym memberships. Many people prefer to exercise outside by walking, running or hiking. 

Train your mind and be persevering until you can commit to a fitness routine program. In this situation, then you only can fully utilize your gym membership. 

8. Cancel The Cable & Unused Subscriptions 

Thanks to the technology and internet there are endless new ways to spend money. You can sign up for any subscription like a monthly delivery of beer, a new wine each month, a monthly cheese club or even the candy of the month and have it delivered to your doorstep the same day. 

You even can fully customize your television experience. Unfortunately, subscription services can inflict more damage to your finances than other types of purchases. This is because they are set up to charge your credit card automatically through this method. 

It makes them far too easy to keep in perpetuity or even forget you're paying for them all together. A 2018 study from West Monroe Partners concluded that, consumers may be spending a lot more in total than they realized on subscriptions although those surveyed by the firm did report being satisfied with their purchases. 

Overall, most people are unaware of how much they spend on subscription services. When pressed for a quick answer they dramatically underestimate the amount. This is a boon for companies operating subscription models and a bust for advocates of conscientious budgeting. 

If you're no longer sure which subscriptions you're paying for, there are several apps and services that can help some apps let you take stock of all regular and recurring charges made to your accounts including subscription services. You can also take stock of your subscriptions on your own by breaking out your last 6 months of bank statements and credit card bills. 

Then look them over for subscriptions you've paid for. From there you can figure out which ones to keep and which ones to cut then call each company you plan to nix from your budget or cancel them online. Many Personal Care Products moisturizing and cleansing are important for skin care but if you are using lots of different products you might be overdoing it. 

With the beauty and skincare market constantly evolving it may be very tempting to try every new product that hits the shelves. With so many skincare choices available people often overuse or combine products that can worsen their skin. 

Your best bet here is to keep things simple. Find a hair face and body care routine you like and stick with a handful of affordable products when you're tempted to add more products to your routine, ask if you're accomplishing anything new or just changing for the sake of change. 

9. Spending Too Much At Restaurants 

We all need to go out and enjoy ourselves from time to time. It's great to go out with your friends for a drink or go out with your partner to a movie but how much money are you spending on it that could go elsewhere? 

This is not to say that you shouldn't go out and enjoy a night now and then but you don't need to do it every Friday night or every payday. You should try to cook and eat at home instead of going out .

Almost anything you cook yourself will be far cheaper than anything you can get at a restaurant. Even a fast food restaurant, you'll see the savings immediately if you compare the price of ingredients to a restaurant bill. Over time eating healthy, home cooked food will mean lower medical bills and less misery compared to eating out. 

You'll probably use more organic ingredients and more vegetables, fruit and whole grains. If you know that your anniversary is coming up in 3 weeks and you are craving fine dining, wait and go out for it for your anniversary if your friends go to the club on Fridays Stay in and enjoy a gentle and quiet evening at home for at least 3 weeks every month. 

10. Gambling 

Gambling can be anything from going to the casino to buying a lottery ticket. Sure the chance of putting a dime into a machine and getting back $50 sounds great. 

But what will you do once you win just a little money? You think this is your lucky day and soon you're leaving a casino with less money than you came with. This doesn't mean you can't go to the casino, But you need to make sure of 2 things before you go. 

First you can afford to go to the casino? Just because you have money in your account doesn't mean you can afford to spend it gambling. 

Second, you need to have a budget. Go to the casino with 20 dollars and once you spend that money get out of there. 

11. Junk Food 

There is a myth that poor people can't buy healthy foods because they are too expensive. Have you stood back and looked at the price of fresh fruits and vegetables compared to chips, ice cream and cookies? 

When it boils down to it, junk food is more expensive as it doesn't last as long as a bag of carrots or a head of lettuce. Plus the way your body feel. Simply isn't worth the price of junk food. Many poor people think rich people will go for lobster often or that they eat in fancy restaurants. 

But the reality is that, most people who are considered rich don't do this they like to focus on eating healthy in their own home by buying fresh vegetables, fruit and raw food. Put down that nearly $5 bag of chips and pick up the bag of carrots that cost 82 cents per pound. 

12. Smoking & Vaping 

Not only is this harmful to you but poor people spend more money on smoking and vaping than any other socioeconomic status. 

Smokers will spend around $200 on a pack of cigarettes every month especially if you go through half of a pack to a whole pack every day, the cost you spent on cigarettes every year is $2,400 and the price for 10 years is $24,000. 

Now take a moment to think about what you can spend that money onsuch as repairing your car or even saving up for a new car or house. If you want to stop smoking, there are multiple ways; you can give your mouth something to do to resist a tobacco craving chew on sugarless gum or hard candy or munch on raw carrots, nuts or sunflower seeds. 

Something crunchy and tasty. Most importantly tell your friends, family and other people you're close to that you're trying to quit.t 

They can encourage you to keep going especially when you're tempted to light up.

Robert Kiyosaki: "You Will Never Be Poor Again" | START DOING THIS TODAY!!

 

They don't want what you to know out there. They'll never get those on CNBC But our school system will never tell us it does their part of the posse fake money fake future Stay back, I Know the game of the rich my rich dad taught me, you know, uh, cuz you're the banker the bankers and the rich play is different than what they teach you in school all over the world. 

What does school teach you about money? And the answer is nothing. And that's not a mistake.That's not an accident. I knew that most people know that the way to keep the poor and middle class working hard has never teach them what the rich know. 

So if you read Rich Dad Poor Dad which came out in 1997? It's what the rich teach our kids about money the poor middle class do not. Poverty hurts. I mean, I don't like it and I don't like that our academic systems so corrupt, you know, we know the banking system is corrupt. 

 We know politics is corrupt but act but academics is just as corrupt I mean one thing if it's the banking in the politics but this is where we send our children and we trust them to do the right things for them and yet they're npt bein taught something so fundamental like you asked your dad when you were a kid dad. 

Oh, yeah strategy tell teach us about money and it was just never never and they'll never will. You know something? What do you know? Share it. What is financial education? 

It's not get a job work hard save money and invest in a well-diversified portfolio, stocks bonds mutual funds and ETFs. The financial industry is two things debt and taxes. 1971 Nixon took the dollar off the gold standard and the US dollar became debt. And we still tell kids to go to school get a job. 

Work hard save money and get out of debt. Now who tells them to do that. That's the most ridiculous thing. There is the book starts and it says line number one saving money will make you rich and ever. 

Well, you know that all taught that as kids. Why would you save it? And why would you work for it if they can print it? Had faster than you can work for it. Why do you keep saving when they're printing it rich don't work for money. Don't you touch that stuff? It's very subtle. Yeah, they don't say, I'm gonna train you to be a worker the rest of your life. 

But they educate you in a way where that's what you come out, right? What else was he? What was he trying to do those first few months. Were you working for him? What was he trying to get across you? 

 Because he taught you the hard way about money, and she said if you're gonna be a successful in your lives, You've got to find the best teachers and a great teacher is somebody who comes from the inside not the outside. But in school, you don't know if your instructor is for real or not. 

That's where the fake teacher comes from. I Said I want you to teach me about money. So it was so why should I teach you? He said but if I teach you you work for me for free. And I said why for free my dad my poor debt whatnots. 

He says is if I pay you you think like an employee Your brains will your brain will change if you learn never to work for money, you'll be a rich man. And this is powerful, once you give someone a paycheck their brain turns off, right because it had been the promise of a pension. 

Right and job security which is kind of a paycheck in disguise. Correct, after you stopped give the man a fish eats for the day teach him to fish eats for a lifetime and most poor people confuse Assets and the liabilities they think their home is an asset. It's actually a liability not an asset. 

A noun like a house? Cash flow is a verb, so to understand if it's an asset a liability. It takes a noun + verb So if the cash is flying out of your pocket, it's a liability If the cash is flowing into your pocket has it burn? 

 That's it. So I own 7,000 rental properties also assets every month the cash flows in. Whereas many people have the big house of the hill and the cash is flowing out right now. They're going broke, right? It's like a frame of mind. 

The other thing the poor don't understand is the number one expense for most people as taxes and. Yet we don't even see it. Isn't that weird you walk around and you look at the paycheck and say oh that doesn't seem right and you don't realize that the government's got a huge hand in your pocket and you are doing nothing to minimize that again. 

 This is what was very different about the rich and the poor. The rich don't work for money is number one expensive tax. See, there's three kinds of income earned. Portfolio passes. So earned income is, if I get a job that's earned income if I'm a doctor or a programmer. That's burning because I'm working for it. 

If I buy US by pilots an apple for ten dollars I sent over 20, that's Portfolio income capital gains. Yeah But passive income which is cash flow Is never taxed? That's all of these guys are screaming right now in America tax, too Rich as a good luck Because most of the guys complaining they don't know the three kinds of income and the rich don't have jobs. 

Anyway, they have assets. And so the average small out there poor guy, you know sent the kid to school. They don't learn this. You see very few people will buy what I do Make a million dollars and pay zero tax and my rich dad taught me that playing Monopoly that's how it started, you know for green houses, one red hotel. Or the McDonald's for me. I write about it McDonald's Ray Kroc. Yeah McDonald's is in the real estate business. 

 So they sell hamburgers, but they buy real estates. They pay no taxes. You know this guy Bezos, but he's sixteen billion dollars how much tax did append a 16 billion? And that's all legal anyone can do it it everybody could to put everyone most people lack the education. So once you learn how to use debt as money you can never say I can't afford it.

 Because the banks will give you. So the banks after the crash of 2008, The banks gave me 300 million dollars tax-free when they asked the average guys that can you why don't you use a debt? They can't even get a loan because there are scores their FICO scores when only we have them here are so bad. The schoolteachers will never tell you about because they don't know it my poor dad. 

Never knew that. You don't know if something is an asset or liability Until you can see which way the cash flows. So a house is that it hasn't a liability. Well, if it's taking money from your pocket, it's liability. It's putting money in your pocket It's an asset. 

The US government wants me to provide housing Wants me to provide jobs wants me to borrow money because that's how money is created through debt. I get huge tax breaks. Everybody can do the same thing if they had the financial education to do it. 

If people understood the tax code we'd be more prosperous but can poverty be passed through genetic? Yes, because it's some type of way of thinking it's an attitude. It's very simple when I wanted people ask. How do I stop it? I just never say I can't afford it ask yourself How can I the reason I have so much money is because I don't say I can't do it I just got how can I do? 

And I guess one to it. I make a lot of mistakes. But that's how I learned, how can I and poor people like my poured that always that I can't afford it. You think I'm made of money? I'm a school teacher. I can't do that. And I picked that up and my rich dad never said those words. So when I make poor people that use the words I can't a lot. 

So the people that said I can't afford it. I can't do this. I can't get to college the rich. Are you able them? I choose not to participate in that and that's one thing people could change today. Right now is that dialog in their head to stop saying the word can't I can't right. So, how can how can I especially as in I can't afford it. 

How can I afford that because that opens them up to looking at it as an investment to a greater future? Right, you know when I borrowed three hundred million dollars, I couldn't do it when I told I went to ask and I got turned down so many times as a hill and every time I showed the back of my financials they go, Sorry, I said look do me a favor. Why did you turn me down? You tell me, You business out. 

The numbers are out here. So I get these numbers fixed. Can I come see you again? Because sure so it's called rejection same as my wife rejected me for six months. It's just a matter of personal willpower was a spiritual to signal if they can do it. I can do it And how can I? how can I and I think it's you once said words become flesh. Yep. I was a Bible. 

Intelligence increases through your mistakes through the ups and downs of what you've learned. Real Estate's real estate what I learned made me enricher not the money. You don't need money to make money. You know, I think all of us every human being has at low point in their life and if they get the message, a new life begins. If you don't get the message they keep going down. 

The richer I got was because I didn't need any money I could use this to make money, but how did I get there? So I made a lot of mistakes. People are afraid of making mistakes and all those for fear of failing.Nice nice so very nice. So many people are trapped in the same device.

What Causes Eye Dryness?

Do your eyes feel gritty and tired all the time? You may be suffering from dry eye syndrome. This common problem can cause a lot of discomfort, and it is advisable to seek treatment if you are experiencing symptoms. 

Tears are essential for maintaining healthy eyes. They help to clean the surface of the eye and keep it moist. Without adequate tears, the eyes become dry and irritated. 

While tears are necessary for healthy eyes, sometimes you don't produce enough of them. There are various factors that can contribute to dry eye. Some of them are: Age: Bodies produce fewer tears as we age. 

This is why dry eye is more common in older adults. Gender: Women are more likely to suffer from dry eye than men. Medications: Certain medications can decrease the production of tears. These include antihistamines, antidepressants and anti-hypertensives. 

Medical conditions: 

Dry eye can be a symptom of another underlying condition, such as Sjögren's syndrome or rheumatoid arthritis. Environmental factors: Dry, windy, or dusty conditions can contribute to dry eye. 

Wearing contact lenses: 

Contact lenses can irritate the eyes and cause dryness. Lifestyle choices: Smoking and drinking alcohol can also lead to dry eye. Spending time on the computer or reading can also make symptoms worse. Symptoms associated with dry eyes

Dry eyes can cause a lot of discomfort. 

The symptoms may include: A burning or stinging sensation Itchy eyes Red, watery eyes Sensitivity to light Discharge of mucus around the eyes A gritty feeling Blurry vision that may improve with blinking Treatment options for dry eyes include: 

Artificial tears 

Artificial tears are a popular treatment for dry eyes. They are available over the counter and can be used to relieve symptoms. Artificial tears work by lubricating the surface of the eye and providing moisture, which will reduce inflammation and irritation. In addition, artificial tears can also help to flush out any irritants that may be present on the eye surface. 

Artificial tears are safe for most people to use, but reading the label carefully and following the directions is important. Some artificial tears may contain ingredients that could cause an allergic reaction, so it is always best to be advised correctly about the choice.

If you experience any redness, swelling, or other irritation, discontinue use immediately and consult your doctor. 

Prescription eye drops Dry eyes are common and can cause symptoms like itchiness, redness, and excessive tear production. While over-the-counter artificial tears can effectively relieve these symptoms, some people may need prescription medication to help treat their dry eyes. 

One type of prescription medication that is often used to treat dry eyes is called cyclosporine. Cyclosporine is an antibiotic that reduces inflammation in the eye and increases tear production. It is typically taken as a drop or ointment that is applied to the eye several times a day, and should only be prescribed short-term. 

Punctual plugs These small plugs are inserted into the tear ducts to prevent tears from draining too quickly. This can help increase the amount of moisture on the surface of the eye and reduce the symptoms of dry eyes. Surgery

Surgery for dry eyes is an option that an ophthalmologist or eye doctor may recommend if other treatments have not worked. There are different types of surgery that can be performed, and the kind that is right for a person will depend on the severity of their dry eyes. 

Surgery can help improve the quality of tears, increase tear production, or reduce tear drainage. Change in lifestyle Making some simple changes to your lifestyle can also help to reduce the symptoms of dry eyes. 

These changes include: Avoiding smoke and dusty environments Resting your eyes often Using a humidifier in your home Drinking plenty of water Dry eyes may seem like a minor nuisance, but if left untreated, they can lead to a host of long-term problems. 

Without adequate moisture, the eyes become susceptible to inflammation and infection. Untreated dry eyes can also cause corneal ulcers and scarring, which can lead to vision loss. In addition, dry eyes can be extremely painful, making it difficult to perform everyday activities such as reading and working at a computer. 

If you are suffering from dry eyes, it is important to see an eye doctor so that you can get the treatment you need. With proper care, you can avoid the serious complications associated with this condition.

Why You Should Not Deny Your Man Sex as A Form Of Punishment.

 

Denying a man sex is a big issue. I have an ex-wife who did that to me. ''Alikuwa na excuses ''(She was full of excuses)and made it seem like sleeping with me was doing me a favor.

 I have a policy that when we have an issue, we solve it na mwenye amekosea anasema pole(and whoever is wrong appologise) and we move on. But with her, she used to use sex as a weapon. 

When I thought we are done with the issue, I would realize that she is still holding a grudge and any attempt to initiate sex was met with an excuse. I had legally married her and paid dowry so it seriously hurt. 

One day I got tired and swore to never ask for sex from her again. I never cheated but kinda turned off that switch. Nikifika home(once i get home), we had the normal family time and when we go to bed I just slept. After one week without touching her she started asking why I never initiated sex. I told her she could initiate too and because of pride, she didn't. 

We would just have our normal and the family life was okay but i totally avoided the sex topic. She became so suspicious and started accusing me of cheating. She said that because I had not been sleeping with her, I must be getting it elsewhere.

 I rubbished the claim and I remember that night when we got to bed she started to touch me in an attempt to initiate sex. I didn't respond. All my feelings for her had vanished and been replaced by deep hatred. I remember I got so mad. I pushed her hand away forcefully and she looked at me shaking with fear.

 I guess she thought I was gonna hit her. I told her to never touch me again. The next weeks she was so eager to talk so that we solve the problem. I told her point blank that her habit of denying me sex had made me lose interest in her and that I never thought I could love her again. This broke her. She asked both parents to intervene but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't forgive her and to be honest, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't make love to her. 

The sexual attraction had gone. I could begin so well then after some minutes, I couldn't go on. She tried so hard to fix the marriage. She cried, apologized a million times and she lost weight due to stress. I was like "haiya, kumbe ulikuwa na haja na ndoa"( ooh, so were interested in the marriage). We separated and later divorced a year later.

 Ladies, you would rather find other conflict resolution skills rather than deny a man sex. That's like the only thing we marry you for. To a man, it hurts and the moment ''mwanaume amekutoa kwa roho'' that's it. Some of you lost your men to other women and you started accusing other women of using witchcraft. To be honest, there is rarely witchcraft involved.

Chemelil Sugar Company CEO Leaves Office After Court Ruling.

Chemelil Sugar Company's CEO Gabriel Nyangweso has officially handed over office to a newly appointed Acting CEO.

Gabriel Nyangweso was appointed in 2017 as the CEO of the miller by the ministry of agriculture. He joined Chemelil sugar when it was on its knees. Through his hard work and determination, he was able to plough and plant sugarcane on the nuclear estate which had been fallow for many years.

He was loved by farmers because he was able to pay the farmer's dues on time as agreed but was always at loggerheads with the employees because the company could not serve both the salaries and the farmer's proceeds.

Mr Nyangweso’s promotion and that of the Head of Finance, Mr Emmanuel Ngala, were quashed following a petition filed by Caleb Gichana.

Mr Gichanga challenged the legality of their stay in office on the grounds that they had not been recruited under a competitive process.

According to the petitioner, the duo’s stay in office was unlawful, and unconstitutional and was done without proper gazette notices - a violation of Articles 10 and 232 of the Constitution.

“Mr Nyangweso was incompetent and had run down the company through malpractices and irregularities, including nepotism and corruption,” he claimed.

Justice Stephen Radido of the Employment and Labour Relations Court, while delivering the ruling, said the Ministry of Agriculture was guilty of negligence of duty and failing to constitute a board for Chemelil Sugar Company.

Justice Radido, therefore, ordered the ministry to appoint or advertise for the recruitment of the board of directors and ensure the advertisement and recruitment of a competent CEO.

In accordance with the law, the board will then embark on the recruitment of the next CEO of the sugar miller.

The court decision comes a year after the Kenya Union of Sugarcane Plantation and Allied Workers (Kuspaw) accused the two of engaging in financial impropriety and failing to remit statutory deductions, among others.

In addition, sugarcane farmers have raised concerns that the lack of substantive boards has threatened the operations of Sony, Chemelil and Nzoia sugar companies.

Former Agriculture Cabinet Secretary Peter Munya, while dissolving the boards of the three firms on July 16, 2020, said the aim was to give room for the leasing process and handing over of the management to private entities.

The absence of the boards has complicated the operations of the firms as CEOs have no one to account to.

“The move has led to the management of the three sugar factories resorting to making unilateral decisions, which could be detrimental to the companies,” he said.

To protect public assets against misuse and pilferage, the government to conduct an audit of the public mills.

Mr Nyangweso has defended his reign at Chemelil, saying the company has managed to update the remittance of statutory deductions.

“Further, in respect to National Social Security Fund (NSSF) contributions, where there had been arrears of prior years, we have an agreement with them on settlement and we have not defaulted in our obligations,” he said.

He also noted that the management has been honouring an agreement that requires them to pay farmers for cane delivered within 10 days.

The miller’s Quality Assurance Manager, Jacqueline Kotonya, will be in charge for the next one month as the Ministry of Agriculture sources for a substantive office holder.
