Life without challenge    is life denied any chance      for one to achieve.

We are successful   the moment we start toward     a laudable goal

Footsteps of success,    are trailed by fading footprints,      of failures past..

The world around us   conforms to expectations      we place upon it.

We wear many things,    but that with greatest import     is our expression.

Stretched by an idea,    we can aspire to new heights,      new ways of thinking.

Absence of problems   does not lead to happiness.     Dealing with them does.

Some believe they can,    Some believe that they cannot.      Both are clearly right

Anyone can talk,    but to listen is a gift,      we should all exchange

No matter how unfriendly you are you have always listened to my requests. Your kindness is always saving me.

Decisions made in Washington are more important to us than those made here in Dar es-Salaam. So, maybe my people should be allowed to vote in American presidential elections.

I'd like to say I'd like to be as big as a Gwen or a Madonna, but I think those days of achieving that level are over. The media is bringing everybody down.

I am an animal, my teeth are sharp and my mouth is full, and the passion is strong.
