In honor of 20.10.2010(and days thereafter) which may never occur again in our lifetime I want you to look around You..look within yourself and ask..
WHAT DOES THIS DAY MEAN TO ME?WHO IS A SHUJAA?
Well,i came up with a list of the people who in my opinion are Shujaas/Heroes/Heroines of our time..
1.YOU.
Yes i said it (insert your name).You are a Shujaa because each day you have hope for a better tomorrow despite the lemons life keeps throwing your way.You are a Shujaa because unknowningly or otherwise,you inspire other in ways you could never emerge.You are a Shujaa because as life grips and almost chokes you,you dont wallow in it..you and at times with the help of other clutch at a straw,pull yourself up face even more challenges.
You are a Shujaa because unlike moulded clay or even metal you are not static,you change,you adapt to different circumstance and try as much as possible to cope and handle the (mis)fortunes.
And this and many more my friend make You/I/We Shujaas.
Therefore as the Kapenguri six are mentioned as well as Dedan Kimathi,YOUR name too should be acknowledged!
That's so true...we should learn to embrace and appreciate the hero or heroine within us.
