WE HAVE PLENTY OF JOBS BUT ALSO PLENTY OF LAZINESS

PHOTO:COURTESY

Technology has given us an age over many things. It is like many doors of opportunities have opened so that we even do not know which one to follow. We are in an error where information is rampant, and as we know information brings knowledge which is power.

 We have  tools of learning everywhere on the internet from free videos of You Tube, Free Power Point tutorials to free online teachers for people intrested. As one would say, just google it. Knowledge has been made so accessible, but people have been made so lazy that they just want to complain and not learn new skills that could help them. They are contented with what they know and dont want to jump out of their comfort zones.

As a shujaa, youshould not just sit there complaining while millions of opportunities pass you by because you do not have simple skills which you can easily gain by learning fron the ineternet. 

Right from the internet one can learn valeuable skills like productive farming, computer programming, designing, writing books and even movie scripts and many other skills like production of both audio and video content which is saleable. 

The internet provides both the skill and the market where to sell your skills.

The only impediment to your success is just lack of passion and laziness, otherwise all things are in place for your success. Just shun laziness and start from where you are today. 

While many others choose entertainment, choose knowledge, for with knowledge comes hope and hope does not disappoint.

Prayer works

You may despise many other things, but never despise the power of prayer in your life. Especially at your work place and in your personal finances. In life there are moments when the inner you is so downcast and there is no other thing that can lift you up except God. It is a time when you wish for a solution which you even dont know, to make the matters worse wyou may even not know where you expect the solution to come from. It is a time when all you need is comfort yet you do not know where to get it.

When you have tried all you can, and done your best, do not be frustrated it is time to take it to God in prayer so that you can have peace as you hope for the best.

Learn to pray during difficult times at your work place, at your home and more so in your country. There are things we cannot manage to do with our own efforts, but those are the things we could do with prayers.

When you find the going to be tuff at your work place, try praying and believing in God fisrt, that could change alot of things.Majorly, it will help you find the strength to withstand tempetation.

You cannot always be on top of every problem, sometimes you will be required to be humble and look for help. Before you approach man, approach God in prayer.

This has worked for me always. Has it ever worked for you?

Hope doesn't disappoint...

The last thing you should lose in life is hope, infact you should never lose hope. It is like the fuel of life that keeps you going and trying each new day. It gives you aglimpls of the future that could be or happen oif you just held on.

Life is not just a smooth path with no struggle. They are numerous hindrances to our goals all of which have one aim, to make us give up on life, but that should not happen since no one promised life would be easy. If only you can hold on hope and vision, you can travel further than you think in life.

The sruggle for fiancial freedom in Kenya is just as the struggle for indepence. We can not afford to give up hope. No one promised that it would be easy for Kenya. We still have to fight and overcome ills like corruption, poor leadership, terror, nepotism, tribalism and even outright econimic failures but these should not be the reason for us to give up on the nation. This should not be the reason for us to be corrupt using the excuse that everyone is corrupted.

Recently, while talking to one of my friends about the exam leakage in Kenya, he admitted that he had helped some students cheat in the exams by proving them with the leakeage which he received via whats app. When asked why he was doing it the answer was a lame excuse that the leakeage was everywhere and everone was cheating.

It is difficult for Kenya at this time, shile students cheat in exams, we still have leaders who are corrupt and youth hwo are drunk and disoriented. Each one of us has one blemish or another to which he is hooked which all collectively make us corrupt in various ways.

Should we continue in this state whereby none stands boldly to show others the direction to follow in the name that all is spoilt or should we choose to reform. As for me I choose to reform. What about you, what do you think?

If we continue hoping and trying afresh each time we fall, a time will come when we shall overcome. But if we give up hope and continue in our corrupt ways, it is like handing Kenya over to chaos. Far be it that we should continue to support each other or corruption and living corrupt lives. Stand up for your nation.

The door steps to your success revealed...Interview with Janet Machuka

Persistence, consistence: these are essential once you have known the door you want to open in life, as Janet Machuka will ask you. Do you mean what you say, or rather do yo say what you mean? If you are not convinced about want you really want how can another be convinced about it?  Instability is the main cause of failure, even buildings collapse when they lack stability, so can you also collapse in the job market if you do not know what you really want and how much you really want it?


" My first interview at the standard media Group was not good," she recalls. 'Standard media group is a name to reckon with in the Kenyan Media Industry'. "They denied me the chance and gave it to some other students."

During the interview Machuka was asked why she wanted to work at the standard. She told them that it had been her dream for along time. Even on her  Face Book page, she told them; she had been introducing herself as an assistant editor at the Standard. However, she had never imagined that a chance to actualize this dream would come by so soon. So when she heard of the ongoing interviews at the standard, she knew she had to be there. It was her chance.
After the first interview she did not get any reply, which obviously meant that she had missed the chance. She arranged again to go for another interview, but after this time again, they did not call her. All the other guys gave up, but she was determined, she returned a third time.

This time when she arrived, the panel exclaimed: "You again?" Of-course, that meant they were melting and crumbling under the humbling fire of consistence and persistence which was burning within this lady. At the end of it she got the position.

That  was not the end of trials of conviction, at the job itself, she had to endure several uncomfortable situations and tough correction which according to her, anyone who did not actually want the job would quit just to avoid going through that.

She reminds us as youth, while we may rush to take some jobs, it may be hard to keep them because we actually do not want them but only their benefits. The work place needs conviction and passion to succeed, consistence and persistence with clarity of vision

Being determined, she chose to persevere and establish her name as writer. This gave her chance to publish some articles in the Eve magazine for ladies in the online platform. It came out that some articles were quite a catch, trending on the online platform, in fact, one was still number seven on the trends of the Eve magazine one month after she wrote it.
 To her, she still has to write and continue writing. Just google her name, Janet MACHUKA, and you will be amazed at her accomplishments and organization.

At the moment she looks towards writing articles that will catch worldwide attention, selling them to various online platforms including google. Not to mention, she is also setting up her own online magazine where she will have the freedom to exercise higher responsibilities in authorship.

Here is what we learn From this:

1.Never let your chance to attempt go unattended to;

 She did not let her best chance go by without her giving it a trial. Youth nowadays even fear looking for jobs in companies of their dreams, they dismiss themselves as unqualified without being dismissed and in this manner they render themselves obscure.
Be sharp and courageous, show yourself up and stand for what you really want. But first, you must know if indeed that and only that, is what you want.


Be courageous enough to believe;

Do not fear to believe, sometimes it is just your courage, willingness and attitude that will drive you to the job of your dreams. Do not just settle for something that does not give you a chance to put all your talents to task, settle for a job of your dream, one that you really love and earn some cash from doing what you love.


There is no giving up on the real thing you need;

 Every time you give up on a chance you need to get where you really need to be extents your stay in failure. The faster you react, the better. The earlier you wake up, the earlier you begin seeing your dreams come true. Don't give up while it is day, what will you then do when it is night? When the chance is no longer there?


Want it again even after wanting it the first time;

Whatever you have chosen to pursue should be consistent. Do not change, even after failing the first time, want it again and again until you find it. Never tire of wanting.


Want the same thing once success has been achieved;

Even after succeeding, want the same thing. Stick to your plan. If you sway you might just crumble the whole thing that you have built. Therefore desire to make the best out of what you have. Look for avenues of using what you have to get everything learning well according to plan.


Create the real thing out of what has been offered you;

Do not despise small beginnings. Create the real thing out of what has  been offered. When you do a job with passion and dedication, with persistence and consistence, doors will open towards your goal.

Patting shot... start from where you are and what you have;
 You do not have to look any far, you always have something to start with where you are. Even if you go for a long journey on foot, you always have a staring point, the only thing you need is a goal. Yo can be happy knowing that each day you have made a stride towards your goal. MAKE IT YOUR PURPOSE TO SIGNIFICANTLY MAKE A STRIDE EACH DAY TOWARDS YOUR DREAMS.

MORE JOBS AVAILABLE...Wake up and rip from the millions of jobs availabe on the internet.

 DON'T SLEEP ON THE JOB AND COMPLAIN

There are many jobs available in the world today which are up for grabs. The beneficiaries of these opportunities are those who are willing to dive into cold waters and taste the fruits of hope. 

The technological discoveries, especially the internet have opened the world. Allowing people from differennt regions come together through various platforms  like Facebook, twiiter and other social platforms. This has brought together a pull of needs that need to be satified on the online platform

Unlike before, people can now sell skills, services and products online to different people who are miles away from them. This has offered  a great number of jobs which we as youth should wake up to. Let us make ourselves useful and we shall be appreciated.

Here are ways to rip from the millions of jobs available on the internet .

Online marketing
You can create a site, take some digital goods, esepecially software as an affiliate and put them on your site. This affiliate programs work in a way that if someone buys a product from your site, you get a commision directly into your account, so the more they buy the more you get. 

This is something you can learn to do. There are people who have made millions of dollars in this manner. One of the largest store to get these goods from is called the click back.

Advetising
Do you have a talent? Can you act? Or can you sing? Why dont you record some of these things. Create a website and upload them. For those of us who use gmail email, we already have a you tube account from google which awaits us to use. You can Upload your videos there and monetize them. If your conetnt is liked by people, they will click to watch or see, the more visitors you get the more income you get.

It does not have to be something big, just something intresting or of value.

YOU TUBE
I would have written more, but there is no need knowing that there is more better content where I can direct you. You can just go to you tube and choose a good video that can show you various ways in which you can create your own job online and make yourself more useful with the less skills you have.

Be patient

This is an important rule in online publishing, Dont let hurry ryuin your plans, you might not just succeed right way in the first three months, but when you start earning, money will be coming even while you sleep. The main thing is to choose what you enjoy doing and enjoy doing it to the benefit of others. They will probably reward you, so upload worthy content or write something that you yourself would appreciate if you were in the position of your target audience.

Love to learn
Learn, learn and make effort to learn each time. It will help you to leanr something new each day, and grow towards your goal.

YOUNG COOL AND 'YOURISTIC' MEN IN CAMPUS

Young cool and 'youristic' men in 

campus.

 

Campus is a place of creation, formulation and dispatching into the place of work to impact the world. Some of the most greatest inventions such as Facebook and Microsoft were done by people who were just in the level of students, not yet professional. Here, the youth put their hands to all they find fit with hope of tearing their way to success. Why? Because at this time, mostly the pockets are empty and one wise way of fixing that problem is to think and believe in possibilities that others don’t see. To be smart is just something that is necessary for a campus student who wants to succeed, it is just simple, knowing who to be and who not to be.

That alone can make you innovative or steal your ideas and potential by throwing some to the wind of peer pressure.

I bet every campus student normally has a dream of his future before entering campus, well, while some lose their dreams and drift away like chaff, others stand strong to realize their dreams and even help others realize theirs. What are their strengths? What do they have that others don’t?

Well, the fact is that studying to reach campus is not the end of it, neither is studying to get out of campus, but rather studying to be well equipped, accomplished and established in both personality, morality, impact and more so finances. That is when you can at least sigh, before then, you are always on the journey as a student.

Here are some of the characteristics to focus on as a campus or college student. They are sure to build your reputation and in the end fill your pockets with something credible, of course, it is not easy. But at the same time easy if you can believe in the possibility.

If you don’t have some, look for friends who possess them, it is the better way to learn and grow at university, learning from the best.

LEARN FROM THE DREAMS MAN

These are the guys full of content, purpose, and drive to realize their dreams and help others realize their own. He is a role model at work, an advising story and a walking inspiration whose steps find stable ground when he slides.

He is reliable in almost all human things, he won’t let you down as a friend. No, not without a sincere apology and deep regrets. He is worthy friend.

THE NO NONSENSE MAN

He shuns nuisance and likes to stay happy. They think better and are more innovative when happy so they don’t like to be dragged by emotions of anger or outright stupidity.

This kind of man knows the meaning of respect to himself and others., he will respect you and your goals as a friend. He is that kind of man who still thinks uprightly. The kind who would want to decently propose to a leader before intimate advances, and of Course his heart and love are not something to joke with, they are serious too. He means everything.

THE PARENTS MAN

This guy is the pride of a parent and will go at all costs not to let his parents down, truly, he won’t do anything wrong behind their back and is worth their trust, something which his parents know about.

This guy will be helpful in keeping you out of trouble and in touch with your roots. Of course, he will also teach you more about earning trust, something which you will very much need in your future relations because trust is built on honesty, and he really knows how to be truly honest to oneself and others. He can win the trust of a boss in an instant and leave you standing with papers during interview.

 

GOD’S MAN

He is the kind of man who can say a straight prayer into heaven, like, God this has become my friend forgive him his sins, and God will listen. He will always secure your future in prayers and solve some of the problems human cannot solve by taking them to God in faith. He is a really strong man who can stand by you at times of trouble when your world is shaking like a leaf. So you need such a friend.

THE COUNTRY’S MAN.

He is the patriot, one with every other citizen in mind. He is the kind of man who is going to build the country because he never gives up on his people, and his friends too. He is a man of dreams too who wants the best for you and the country. He will help to keep you in touch with the reality in the world and how man fails others. It good to keep him close because then you can know when and where to stand in terms of politics as a man. Who and who not to agree with, he can help you with basic things like voting and makes a good friend into the future. Off-course, he never runs dry of ideas that might turn into business opportunities for you and many others. He keeps you positive, always talking of possibilities and development.

If you one day would like to be a lady, even of your family in the country, you need such a friend.

THE NEIGHBORS MAN

He bears practical solutions to the neighbors problems. He can solve yours too sometimes, he is handy and elusive but resourceful.

THE FUTURES MAN

The future needs this man for hope and inspiration to others for he is sure to accomplish great fits. He is a man of great faith.

THE FRIENDS MAN

He never lets you down, he is like a brother you were never born with, always moving your mountains. The kind of friend you always want to be near to because mountains always appear in life.

THE REAL MENS’ MAN

Real men can look at this man and be challenged to pull up their socks and man up to their duties. He is an inventor of character and a director of leaders. Like a king who leads real kings, a 'shujaa', a conqueror.

INTO THE MIND OF WICKLIFF NYAMASEGE--CEO AND FOUNDER AT SKY DIGITAL NEWS

Into the Mind Of Wicklief Nyamasege._               A young media  personnel in the Online business.

Interviewer. Good afternoon Mr wickliff. As a young author in the online platform I bet you pass alot of information to the youth on weekly basis seeing that your site is the fastest growing online business in Moi University and peharps the Rift Valley region. Do you consider yourself a shujaa? Who according to you is a  shujaa?

WICKLIFF NYAMASEGE:
CEO, Founder Sky Digital News

Wickliff:   Thank you, and good afternoon to you too. To me a shujaa is just someone extra ordinary who has done something courageous to the benefit of many others. I dont think am a shujaa yet. To do some of the courageous things in Kenya you need money and I feel I havent reached there yet.
               
      However there are some things I have done that have helped people especially through the posts on my site. For intance we managed to advocate for an increment in the amount of  bursary to students from my home county and that was successful.

Interviewer: What do you think of our platform, Mashujaa time?


Wickliff:  Oh! That is a very great idea. I actually believe that Kenyan youth need to be aroused to their abilities and capabilities which can greately impact our economy if only they know how strong they are. The youth could be the shujaa's who will redeem the country from poverty. Mashujaa time gives us that chance to communicate and assert this, I dont despise small beginnings.

                 Our ideas, put together and acted upon can form a major foundation to a financial revolution in Kenya. The youth have great and smart Ideas which need to be put on the table, discussed, financed and nurtured to maturity. This platform gives us the voice to talk creativity and business with eachother instead of politics throughout.

Interviewer: Thank you for the complements Mr Wickliff. Indeed, as you have said there are plenty of ideas out there to be nurtured. All this needs funds, and you know how difficult sometimes that could be. What is your advice on this, especially on personal basis to our members and readers.

Wickliff: The first thing is the idea, the second is confidence and faith that it will work, and the third is patience. The crucial one is, never give up and keep rising for the challenges are sure to come.

               Take it this way, we have over 20 million youths in Kenya. If we agreed just to finance a projects by investing 50 shillings each in a month, that would be one billion shillings in an instant. What I mean to say is that if we can agree and unite as youth, very few things will be near impossible, we can create our own employment and run the economy. It may sound crazy but it is true. Unity is worth trying.
