    About this ebook

    I Blame Me is an attempt to show that when we fail and blame other people we are being dishonest. Each person fails because of their own weaknesses which if acknowledged by they themselves results in personal freedom and success.
    How?
    They change and change brings positive results.
    If you think other people make you fail, DON’T READ THIS BOOK!
    Failures have always blamed other people and harsh conditions while those that succeeded talked of having been determined to overcome challenges.
    Key to success is determination and commitment, whatever the challenges. Blaming other people is a lame excuse.

    James Kemoli Amata

    I am a retired secondary school teacher of Kiswahili (and Christian Religious Education) and an excited preventive healthcare marketer with Green World Health Products Company.I am a 1976 University of Nairobi Bachelor of Education [Arts (Hons)] graduate and a freelance content writer with a passion for writing and indeed I am a farmer-like author with many titles.I published my first book in 1985, by traditional publishing. I have tried self-publishing and now I am in great heat to explore E-publishing.However, I will never forget my Taaluma ya Ushairi (with Kitula King’ei) from which the publisher ate fat alone, and happens to be an E-book without my knowledge.As I do my business, I worship God in African Kenya Sabcrynnsk of Soi (Prayer and Healing) Church.

      Author’s thoughts

      I am a very happy distributor to have had this opportunity to confess that I have ‘failed’ in network marketing because I am a very ignorant person that has refused to be taught and that I fear trying new things and ideas. Who am I?

      You’re You, I say.

      Yes, I’m Me, You say.

      Whenever I fail in my work or in anything else I tend to, first thing, blame other people. It is very rare to hear me accept my own failure. I always blame other people for what I have failed to achieve. At the same time, whenever I succeed in my work or in anything else I tend to, first thing, congratulate myself. To Me, failure is because of other people. To Me, success is because of me. I fail because other people have made me fail. I succeed because I make Me succeed. Am I an honest person? Am I a sincere person?

      I love lies. It is because I love lies that I blame other people for my failures yet I congratulate myself for my successes. I am a dishonest, insincere, selfish person. In brief I’m a failure yet I want people to see me and read me as a successful person. I want to look blemeless where I am to blame.

      Where I can’t blame another person for my failure, I always have something else to blame. If I don’t blame time or lack of it I blame money or lack of it. Whenever I procrastinate I say, There’s time. Even tomorrow is a day. Be patient. What’s the hurry for? In other words, maybe without saying, I blame You for being impatient! I demand of You patience. When I delay I blame lack of time. I say, I didn’t have time. Instead of accepting my disorganisation and slackness and slagishness, coupled with my laziness I blame lack of time. When I report late I blame traffic jam. And you can replace jam with any other thing which will make my lie acceptable or go unquestioned.

      Whenever I see people who have problems I blame money. Someone drinks too much alcohol. Instead of blaming indiscipline and lack of selfcontrol I blame money. I say they have
