Behaviour Quote by Enock Maregesi
““Watu wakikuonyesha tabia zao za ndani kabisa usisubiri wakuonyeshe tena ndiyo uwaamini. Waamini kwa mara ya kwanza. Mtu, kwa mfano, akionyesha kwa mara ya kwanza kuwa si mwaminifu mwamini. Anajijua zaidi kuliko unavyomjua. Aidha, mtu akikwambia anakupenda halafu akakupiga ni mnafiki. Maneno yake yatasema anakupenda, vitendo vyake vitasema hakupendi. Ukiwa makini na matendo ya mtu, si maneno yake, utamjua. Sikiliza maoni ya watu! Kuwa makini na matendo ya mtu.””
