Julius K. Nyerere first President of the United Republic of Tanzania
EXTRACT OF NYERERE'S SPEECH...INTERESTING ARGUMENTS
It is true that in the third world we talk a great deal about economic development, about expanding the number of goods and services and the capacity to produce them, but the goods are needed to serve men, services are required to make the lives of men more useful, more easeful and more fruitful.
Political, social and economic organization is needed to enlarge the freedom and dignity of men. Always we come back to men, liberated men, as a purpose of activity, the purpose of development. But men can only liberate himself or develop himself. He cannot be liberated or developed by another. For men makes themselves, it is his ability to act deliberately for a self-determined purpose which distinguishes him from other animals.
The expansion of his own consciousness and therefore of his own power over himself, over his environment and his society must therefore ultimately be what we mean by development. The same is true of education. Its purpose is liberation of man from the strains and limitations of ignorance and dependence. Education has to increase men’s physical and mental freedom. To increase their control over themselves, their own life and their environment in which they live. The ideas imparted by education or released in the minds through education should therefore be liberating idea. The skills acquired by education should be liberating skills. Nothing else can be properly called education.
Any teaching which induces a slave mentality or a sense of impotence is not education at all. It is an attack on the minds of men. This means adult education has to be directed at helping men to develop themselves. It has to contribute to an enlargement of men’s ability in every way. In particular, it has to help men to decide for themselves in cooperation what development is; it must help men to think clearly, it must enable them to examine the possible alternative causes of action, to make a choice between those alternatives in keeping with their own purposes and it must equip them with the ability to translate their decision in to reality.
The personal and physical aspects of development cannot be separated. It is in the process of deciding for himself what is development and deciding in what direction he should take his society and implementing those decisions, that man develops himself.
There is another aspect to this, a man learns because he wants to do something. And once he has started along this road of developing his capacity, he also learns because he wants to be a more conscious and understanding person. Learning has not liberated a man, if all he learns to want is a certificate on his wall and a reputation of being a learned person, a possessor of knowledge. For such a desire is merely another aspect of the disease of the acquisitive society, the accumulation of goods for the sake of accumulating them. The accumulation of knowledge or worse still the accumulation of pieces of paper which represent a kind of legal tender for such knowledge has nothing to do with development.

On Christmas Eve~
Part 1
Stood up in a parking-lot
Mind and thoughts spin a lot
Looking up at the stars
Mars and Venus bright that night
Close together with craned necks towards sky
His arm brushing hers
She is shy looking at cars
He whispered looking at her
"It's beautiful." she said non-lure
Yes! he would whispered
He would look up
She would look up
Their eyes would meet
Like Cinderella she would fled off into the night
She took a deep breath cos, she is not sure if she wants
He feels her racing heart beat
Like a drum beat on Nicki's hits
She been so hesitant, so scared and tense
He put a hand on her waist
But she wasn't going to get waisted
The snow came down falling
White cold fluffy makes her skin seems fair
Whirling fantastic in the misty air
It was on the third date he dared
To get that chocolate caramels skin-girl
Their lips met, their bodies with one accord
His arms wrapped around her, more than a rope
Mesmerized by his touch, she felt her hands fumbling
She had to live with the moment like a dream
Will she give it all??????? Find out Next scene.........

Email from one of my readers Review:
"Content
i have found the content of the book to be inspiring, fun, and educative.
Take example of the poem about climate change, it is educative. it tell us that the environment we live in should not be taken for granted. we should preserve, take care of it so that we continue living in peace with nature. The opening poem supports the meaning of the book's name"floating life."
another educative Poem is "kilimo" that was done by you, Lulu Mero and Rashid Mohammed.
"Naingekuwaje kama lulu Mero mwanaume?" i laughed when i re-read this. this is one of the fun content part of the book. it was a good idea to have a mixture of content in the book since some poeple like comedies much more than serious matters. i also liked the lies in "boys and girls." eti Girls lead, boys kneel? a book for all i should say.
Pieces that had inspiring content were "like life is the matter of time" and "inside mindset." Human beings get lost sometimes in the midst of up and downs of life, these kind of pieces inspire them to say "Life should go on."
i liked the note about "depression." in the end yopu asked how would i, the reader, control depression? Personally, i would see a physical or by word method on how to solve the problem that causes me depression. if its from stubborn human beings, i deal with them, if they are powerful then i migrate. stay far away from them. i like resting and sleeping, these takes away the unconscious depression we harbour in our heads.
The poem i read thrice before taking note is... "abortion." maybe because im sensitive to ills on humanity. i went beyond the poem to think about the sin deeply. The poem was done by you Lulu and kimanga. For a thousand advantages this is a good book." < Less
