A Real Life, a Real Me…

Though my face may look pleasant to you, I am not a boy; I am a man. Though am merry and I speak words of courage and hope, there are times when I my spirit has been low, very low.

Tough I may seem strong to you, there are times when I’ve wished there is someone to hold me, someone to tell me “… it’s going to be alright!”

There are times when I’ve cried; there are times when I’ve been very sad; there are times when I been lonely, lonely with no one to talk to except the God and father I don’t see – he has really been their for me.

I have failed; I’ve been very disappointed and embarrassed; I have been betrayed, although you admire my faith. I have been very discouraged, abandoned and neglect, although today you see so many people around me, but God has been there with me through it all.

The Lord, my God, has been my teacher; he has taught me to be what you like about me – and I am still learning. The Lord has been my trainer: he has held my hands and taught them to do right; he has taught my brain how to think right – he has been there with me; he is my trainer.

Though I look young to you, yes my age is an age of young people, but look into my eyes, my experiences have taught me confidence – I am fearless, and am not shy to do or say right. Listen to my words; I have learnt from the best, my God. I have learnt from every opportunity, in every experience and so I speak wisdom and godly words.

I have foolishness, but I’ve been foolish many times; I hate ignorance, but ignorance is eternal – you can know everything, , but learn how to choose right from wrong, just from unjust, good from bad, righteous from evil, godly from ungodly.

I may seem very courageous to you, but the many discouragements I have had have taught me how to stay courageous and hopeful at all times. There are no walls in life is you put your hope in the Lord, the creator of heaven and earth.

Letter To Mr. Obama… 19/01/09

Dear Mr. Obama,


I hope you’re doing well. Back here, everyone is very excited about this day, and your achievement as the first black president of the world’s biggest power of modern times and history. Before going for office work; before you can get to busy for any advice for the next four years of hard work in the responsibility of governance, these words may be good to note.


I highly hope that by now you know that people in the world are happy about your achievement and are expecting a lot from you; from your not-yet-tested-policies, which puts you on tension. But don’t worry, those things happen to all leaders who can describe themselves as having feelings like yours; so don’t worry!


It’s also good to always remember that life is full of both achievements and failures, which makes it real and balanced, so don’t put your hopes too high because so will be your disappointments. Be ready to be criticized, and accept it with a free mind because it’ll always happen. You can not please every one, but know your priorities; the safety, growth and strength of the American government, your family and the rest of the world around you.


Don’t also forget that keeping friends close, carefully, helps strong men grow stronger in wisdom, courage and hope. Listen carefully and only speak when it is necessary. For a man of great responsibility like you, it is good to also be a good writer; this will ease your life from stress and depression – it will give you nights full of good sleep and a refreshed health, and good judgments. Seek advice from anyone around you on any public matters; out of what is despised can sometimes come great things: wise words, good judgment and great people – I guess by now you don’t doubt that.


Also remember that you’re a hero, a great man, only if you recognize yourself as an Afro-American, but with an American and global mindset: so be that hero. Open opportunities for the minorities, fight for justice and peace. Anger, fear and excitement make men go wrong; be careful with extreme feelings – take critical judgments only when you’re calm: speak less at all times, it’s good.


Music is a good inspiration and a stress cure, so listen to the kind that keeps your spirit awake with hope. Don’t take heavy burdens on your self; trust in the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth with your life, work and responsibilities. You would rather tell God what you can’t do and he denies you assistance, which I don’t think, than die in silence.

Devote you extra life to God since you have many lives to take care of and He’s the author of life, and He will faithfully guide you. Read the achievements and failures of kings both in the Bible and outside the Bible, as well as the greatest political leaders, and you’ll avoid many mistakes in your life of big responsibilites.


Looking at the black and bright sky will give you a lot of wisdom and peace, as well as looking at other natural things and wild animals, and trying to understand them and you honor God’s art and science; this will help you know and understand that the world is led by God and not men, and so you won’t strain too hard to the extent of loosing your own poor life.


Tell your juniors that it is working together that makes strong teams strong, and listen to their opinions; some levels and positions which are sometimes or many times despised tend to see things more clearly.


A wife is a great strength for any married men, strong or weak; so listen to her, remembering that she’s you-watching-yourself in another body. Don’t despise her, but use the right measures to judge her judgments. Tell her anything and trust her enough, but carefully, remembering that she is a woman and something are heavy for her to work out or accommodate at the same time like men do.


Hard work is not what yields the greatest results, no, it’s good work and good luck. Be wise, think less, rightly and timely, and you’ll be glad on that day when you get out of that office as an achiever. I’ll also be by your side when things go right or wrong, so don’t think you are a lone; we’ll be praying for you all over the world.


Let wisdom, knowledge and understanding be upon you.
Let good and just judgment lead your path.
Let the spirit of the Lord, the Creator of heaven and earth rest upon you that you’ll work within his plan, which is the only sure plan that succeeds. Let peace, happiness, prosperity, good health and long life be yours in the name of the holy and true Lord, and Leader of leaders.


Yours in service,


ISIKO Peace John

Trouble, Trouble and More Trouble World…!

While walking on the street the other day, I heard a song playing in one of the shops at loud volume. This gospel musician (a lady) was singing out her heart, asking God to protect her from her enemies, and to bless her and ashame them. The song really had a good rhythm you would easily love and the message was clear.

Today I have a problem with the way people (some, but many) think. People will easily talk about their insecurities than securities; they’ll talk about more about their problems than blessings; they’ll talk more their enemies than friends!

It’s had to find a person (even a musician) asking God to bless his friends, but almost every musician has a song about his enemies, or at least a line in one of his most popular songs. Should we say they have more enemies than friends? Or should we say enemies inspire people than friends? If it is true, then they are the wrong people, they do more “wrongs” than “goods”.

You’ll wake up in the morning and turn on the TV to see what happened in the world while you were asleep, and to my surprise, every time I do this, I’ll see and hear about the riot or demonstration in one European or Asian countries a bomb blast and the degree of its effects in one of the chaotic Arab countries.

I stopped watching the news broad casts in the morning just to protect my grateful morning attitude. You’ll easily hear about a fraud made by one of the top official of a globally recognized organization or strong government, but it is not easy to see any of those good official, who have served the world unselfishly, faithfully and with a devoted attitude being thanked, praised or even recognized in the morning news; they can only be brought to the screen when commenting on bad things (suspicions), and even still, little is talked about their deeds, only titles are given – so unfair!!!

Why do we have to talk (most) about the bad side of life and almost completely live out the good things happening in our world? The very picture of this world you’ll get when you watch the morning news will make the word seem the worst place man can live; everything in the news is generally bad news, many times magnified than its real size. Try it the next morning, even for a week, and you’ll agree with me.

I wish one day the world’s most popular broadcasting bodies will initiate a program were people thank God or fellow me for the good things they are experiencing; were people talk about their achievements and hoe grateful they are; were people thank the world superpowers, World Bank, the United Nations, The European Union, Global Fund, USAID, the Common Wealth and more for the good things they have done for the world and it’s inhabitants, especially the human race. I think this will help us (people) look at the world with a better perspective, with a more grateful attitude, not seeing it as a trouble, trouble and more trouble world every morning, day evening and night.

My appreciation goes to all people, organizations and governments that have played a big/small role, but contributed towards making this world a better habitat for man and the rest of the creatures, especially the United Nations and the Geographers like National Geography, Wild Life Authority, Animal planet and more of the kind. Let my good God bless you endlessly and abundantly for making this world a better place for us.

*Organizations, people and governments spend Billions and Trillions of different currencies to make this world a better place, but nobody, actually a few people are grateful for this.

Making A Home: Important Things…

Every complete home as four arts that should be clearly noticed or identified; -

1) the bedroom

2) the kitchen

3) the toilet

4) the sitting area

Each of these is important, and for a home to be a home a complete home, you have to have them. They all don’t have to be under one roof, no, but they need to be there, somewhere.

Identifying these parts of your home will make you have easy planning, time and a better development strategy.

One day a friend, who was still staying his parents’ home and was about to move to is own home asked me what was needed for a home to be a home, and what he would have to maintain ad their supplies. I told home that all he had to do was to identify those given parts above, and all identify things that have to be added or changed for time to time for whatever reasons.

The Bedroom; It’s the most important part of every home. You would rather have everything else missing under your roof, but not your bed. A lot depends on your bedroom; your health especially and the hygiene to show elsewhere. A bedroom is the most rarely changed part of the home; you can sleep on the same mattress for years, same bed for years, and same pillows for years and same bed sheets for months, and it’s okay. Such things don’t apply everywhere else especially in the kitchen and the sitting area.

The Kitchen; You’ve got to clean it up! I personally hate to use the same plates and glasses for years. You’ve got to refill those foodstuffs and spices from time to time… this involves trying new ones from time to time to maintain your appetite; pleasure in eating.

The Toilet; Were all rubbish goes must be clean. This will help you avoid a lot of diseases and discomforts. A clean toilet is just as important as a clean kitchen, bedroom and sitting area; they’ll all cause great discomfort if not worked on well. Gentle scents and clean and sufficient utilities in the toilet have made me name it the second most interesting part of the house, next to the kitchen. I can stay in the kitchen for hours and I don’t miss the bedroom or sitting area, and I love to take enough time in a clean toilet… my brain works so well in their, I also feel at ease.

The Sitting Area; This is the most impressive part of every good home just like clothings on your body. Neat and smart clothings define a lot about your like a neat and smart sitting area in your home. I promise you that you’ll always hate to come home early enough if your sitting area is shabby; such discomfort will keep you out late in the night.

Work on your home; how else can you make the world a better place without making your home a better place for you?

Points In LIfe... Self Judgement...

Everytime you reach a point in life were you don't care what happens, in most cases you're wrong about what you're going to do and it will neither benefit you or benefit the person/people you intend to involve.

Everytime you reach a point in life were you're every excited about something than you've ever been before, know that in it lays something that can easily make you more sad than you've ever been.

Everytime you reach a point in life were you feel everything is easy, know you're a about to face a challenge greater than any you've ever faced in your life.

Everytime you turn around in the midst of challenges and there is no one to uphold your courage, know that you are safe; nothing worse will happen.

Everytime you think something is becoming useless to you, keep it but don't dispose it; it means in a short time from then you'll need it like you've never needed it before.

Everytime you reach a point in life were you can't make up your mind, it means the results of your decision will highly affect your life so it is good for you to take your time and make up your mind before choosing the next big sacrifice you're to make.

Everytime you reach a point were you feel you would rather cry for a minute, take your time and cry before you can get more miserable than you already are. This in most cases means you're about to be very happy, but the sadness may limit it if not released.

It also sometimes means you're going to face a bigger challenge so it is better when refresh you courage by releasing the sadness that already exists in you, which makes you stronger and more prepared.

All Because Two People Fell In Love...

It's so funny how life can have two standards, both affecting us, and we still call it beautiful. It's too mysterious how one man and woman with no idea about each other's existence wake up one morning set for their life duties and to each other's surprise (they) meet, fall in love, feel so attached to each other; as if life don't mean anything before, as if they never lived before they met.

One morning you wake up, look through the window and you see a neighbors daughter (about 5 years) decorating her head with flowers in their beautiful flower garden; for an hour of observation, you forget all the troubles in this world and call it the most beautiful place for souls of men.

One evening you take a walk to the football pitch and while seated looking at people play, you notice a father and son enjoying their evening the ball; the little man kicks and falls down, runs and falls down, but will still do it again, laughing with great pleasure. Soon you begin to speak to yourself, "Ooh, how life would be so unpleasant without love... see how it's fruits yeild great pleasure..."

A few months later you meet a stranger whose heart is the gig-saw piece that will make your life complete, and from that day everything looks like it will never end; the smiles, the touches, the fevers... everything, so good, so sweet, so beautiful! Then comes a baby, a boy or girl, and the smiles begin all over again... a new image is part of you... and life begins all over again.

You begin to look at the world in a beautiful and satisfying perspective. All things began like this... and though the worst is still seen among men, it doesn't matter when the end is beautiful... The whole world is feel with beautiful people, beautiful places of pleasure and great hope... all beause two people fell in love.

The Preacherman... The Good Teacher...

This morning while in a taxi to my work place we met a preacher asking people to accept Jesus as their Lord and personal savior, and telling them that life without jesus is painful, fetal and therefore useless.

We were all silent, and suddenly a man at the back of the taxi laughed in a despising and surprised manner. In an instance all of us in the car gave him our attention and he said, "I wonder were these guys get the courage to stand and shout the whole day in sunshine when they know so little about what they are talking about... they read only two scriptures in the Bible and shout them all day..."

Of course no one replied him, but each one of us heard him loud and clear.
I jumped out of the taxi at the stage and walked all the way thinking about this guys words... analysing the truth in them and the weakness in his thaughts...

Later on in my thaughts came these wise words,
"A good teacher is not he who knows a lot, but he who is willing to share the little he know with those who don't know at all or who don't know enough..."

These words moved me... they remained me of my school days when teachers on school practice would come and train on our little brains and we challenge them. These words were so true and real to me.

This Preacherman's activities have taught me the lesson of a life time; to share the little I have if I have to earn credit from sharing. Are you challenged?

In My School Days...

School days are the days I don't think I'll ever forget.

It's so amazing how life changes from one stage to another... especially when I look at myself now; my attitude, my work, my knowledge, my experiences and more...

The days I'll never forget are the teenage years; those amazing school days and the related experiences. Their is this experince I got when I joined secondary school. Since I started school at a very young age (African Standard), I reached secondary when I was quite young.

My secondary days were characterised with a lot of Teasing, Bulling, and many other things that were characterized with a lot of intimidating. Now, looking at the pictures below; at Kibuli Police Station, which is the CID Headquarter here in Uganda, I remember those fear-filled days of secondary school when Students in higher classes used to stop us the young ones from going beyond certain boundaries, reaching certain places or even doing certain things.

This life taught me a lot though it was a hard way of learning. These big guys made us do a lot of staff for them like picking there food from the dining, washing their plates and clothings too, fetching there water, even to laying there beds!

Now when I see this information or "caution" post, I remember those good-to-learn-from but not good-to-experice days...

Life has taught to me that no matter what level you go on, there is always a lesson for you; something challenging, intimidating, confusing and sometimes complicated to understand.
God has made a lesson plan for every body at every level.

Value With NO Price...

Life is such a precious experience no matter how it feels.

Living for a minute is such a thing that every morally upright person should be thankful for.

It’s true that some people haven’t lived for as long as we have lived on this planet. Can you imagine; some were born dead – they never even made the first cry of babes while experiencing this life! Isn’t it true that the good and the bad, the young and the old, the poor and the rich, the sick and the healthy, and the evil and the righteous both die?

It’s so good to know that life is an experience with great value, yet with no price.
Yes, you can never buy a minute of life, not even a second, because having life is a one chance experience and loosing it is a one-way traffic… except for Jesus and the known few who made a U-turn… or the "known one" that never took the same route that all humans take in this journey of life...

Once a friend told me that what is the purpose of dying with a healthy body when both you (who has healthy body) and he (who has an unhealthy body) will die and rot alike?

In the first place l was moved, in fact, challenged by his reasoning, but until l realized that there is a difference in the experience of someone that dies with a smile and one that dies crying and regretting; I never knew that this knowledge was just enough to direct me through the choices I make in life.

A good experience in life is a good experience and there is nothing you can compare to it.

Life is the only commidity that has Great Value yet with no Price...

The Past Few Days...

Mmmh... One may wonder what I've learnt in the past few days, and I guess without letting you know you'll never know... Anyway, this doesn't mean I don't take pleasure in letting you know...
The past few days have been of great help. I've learnt quite a lot of staff.

Let's look through some of them down here;
1) Sometimes you don't have to attract people to yourself, nature will draw them to you and if you're of good character they'll always be glad and thankful that they met you.

2) Sometimes you don't have to confront those who offend you; your silence will cause them a shame that will push them away from you.

3) Fools don't deserve mercy, so don't waste even your patience on them; you'll only get irritated.

4) Forgiving someone for his fault will free your heart from heartaches, but keeping anger will only make you loose focus, so don't waste time, let anger take but only a short time on your mind.

5) Lack of money doesn't mean lack of peace. You may have know money but still have all things you need, and this yields more satisfaction than money.

6) Pain lasts only for a while, but memories will always caution you even when scars are gone.

7) A free effort offered may sometimes reward you more than more a service over charged.

8) Think about friends more often; this brings more happeness than knowing that they think about you.

9) One can leave longer without a lover than he or she can live without food; but, love found once can satisfy you more than a million meals.

10) A person that doesn't learn from experience is more prone to trouble than one that doesn't learn from class.

Otherwise, friends, these are a summary of some of the lesson I've learnt in the past few days.

I guess they mean something good to you.

Have some fan today... it may be the last time you'll have good mememories... those friends around you.
