There is a possibility that the future can be better or worse than now. It can still remain like the present. Your present attitude can colour your future and influence it. Depending on disposition, the future is a place you can reach out by calculated actions. It can still show up while you passively wait for it. You can seize it with hope or apprehensively arrive at it. Whichever way, it will still show up. The attitude that you exhibit determines the actions you will take to face or seize the future. People who have succeeded in life have a natural inclination of hopefulness. Those with a default option of hopelessness always complain and harvest wind and tears. The sages summarise, “There is no medicine like hope, no incentive so great, and no tonic so powerful as expectation of something tomorrow.' Tomorrow is coming, hope for it, don't despair. Hope brightens your life Erasmus Makarimayi Filled with hope, one can anticipate the good to come. One can also expect the bad to show up in what is called despair. This can also be referred to as negative hope in that the unfortunate and unwanted are deemed to occur in preponderance to the desired positive outcome. Hope and despair will be respective contrast of optimism and pessimism. Merriam-Webster dictionary describes hope as the feeling of wanting something to happen and thinking that it could happen. It is the chance that something good will happen. It only takes your mental faculties to think of better things. If you think positively, you will feel better and pursue dreams that meet your aspirations. It is within your power and reach to think and feel good. You don't have to pay for a psychic or donor. Whatever circumstances you are in, you are capable of structuring your future or ruin it. In all things it is better to hope than to despair. What does the future hold for you is the question often asked. I ask, what do you hold in the present for your future? Many don't want to be hopeful because it requires their action and positive engagement to direct the trajectory of life in a desired way. In the first place it appears to cost to have hope but it will pay off in the end when the fruit of your positivity brings smiles. If there's hope in the future, there's power in the present. Make that power generating plant in your heart. It has capacity to generate wattage to change your world. There are people who always complain whether it's summer or winter, day or night, sunny or on rain day. Resist and desist from that folly. Hope is your launchpad; choose it. Be instructed by Hebrews 6:19a which teaches. 'Which hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure and stedfast.' Hope solidifies and anchors your now and secures your future. By its very nature hope concerns the future. Romans 8:24-25 explains, '[24] For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for? [25] But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.' Naturalistically, hope is wishful thinking about something good happenin

Egypt has received its first shipment of a Chinese coronavirus vaccine, which was tested in the United Arab Emirates and is said to be 86% effective.
The shipment from Chinese state-owned pharmaceutical giant Sinopharm landed at Cairo's international airport from the UAE late on Thursday.
Health minister Hala Zayed and diplomats from China and the UAE were at the airport to greet the shipment.
Egypt, the Arab world's most populous country, has seen a rise in infections in recent weeks amid warnings by the government about a second wave.
The country's overall tally stood at 120,147 cases, with 6,854 deaths, on Thursday.
The government plans to first vaccinate health care workers, particularly those who deal with COVID-19 cases.
They are to receive two doses of the vaccine over 21 days.
The Sinopharm vaccine has been approved for emergency use in a few countries and the company is still conducting late-stage clinical trials in 10 nations.
Sinopharm's vaccine relies on a killed virus, similar to how polio immunisations work.
Vaccines being developed by Western companies, like the Pfizer/BioNTech shot, target the virus' spike protein using Ribonucleic acid, or RNA.
The U.S. gave the final go-ahead Friday to the nation’s first COVID-19 vaccine, marking what could be the beginning of the end of an outbreak that has killed nearly 300,000 Americans.

AT the time people thought the government has now reformed and breathing a new political life, the opposite is happening. Last week’s arrest and detention of MDC Alliance vice-president Tendai Biti on allegations of insulting a Russian national Tatiana Aleshina, is clear testimony that a leopard will not change its spots. This has exposed the new dispensation’s hatred of the opposition and selective application of the law or simply abusing law. Judging from the way the Judiciary or our courts are handling cases involving opposition and civic society activists, one would be left with no option, but to conclude that some animals are not equal to others. Arrests, harassments, detentions of opposition activists have become a common place in Zimbabwe. Police and prison cells are being used to harass and torture opposition and civic society activists. It has now become so easy for opposition activists to be fast-tracked to prison than a member of Zanu PF to be fast-tracked to a police interrogation desk. Vice-President Kembo Mohadi threatened his harmless and defenceless wife with an axe, but he never got arrested. That is gender-based violence at play. If the rule of law was applied, by now Mohadi should have been locked up or appeared before a court of law. Members of the opposition are arrested nearly every month and are given stringent bail conditions, some being denied bail a number of times and then released after establishing that they had no case to answer. This demonstrate that there is selective application of law and opposition activists. It has nothing to do with whether one is guilty or not. It has to do with your political identity. Instead of investigating and bringing Tawanda Muchehiwa's abductors to book, the government is wasting resources on investigating a spurious charge of assault against Biti. There is an urgent need to reform our legal system. The Judiciary is being abused to cow opposition activists. Biti is not the only one who has been caged for such charges. Harare mayor Jacob Mafume was also arrested and denied bail on frivolous charges. Leonard Koni
