PLANNING FOR SUNLIGHT By Jeremy Leariwala A wise man once said, ‘Your day is never complete, until you have written the list of things to do the next day’. To him whenever you woke up without a list of things to do, you will still be living in the previous day. Think about that list as an action plan for a single day. An action plan is the best tool to give one a sense of direction. Transferring all uncompleted tasks to the next day enables a person to grow and move forward. It also enables one to take stock of the responsibilities that awaits him. A list of five major tasks simplifies your area of commitment.

A lot of activities take place as candidates try to convince the voters that they are the best. There is a lot of information that plays on between the past election, the future and what the upcoming election means. In the past, here at home, for example devolution and security were very common words. A notion in the minds of many voters was that devolution meant tribal governments! To them it stood for: giving communities opportunity to form their own governments. As years passed that view slowly transformed into something better. Devolution: was like bringing resources closer to the people. However; the dictionary still defines it as the transfer of some powers, and the delegation of some functions to a local government. After the last vote though there followed many new roads, new schools built, new health facilities and ambulances bought. A few local stadiums we...
