Statement of the week

It will not be a trending statement blog if I fail to make mention of the COVID19 pandemic. So I think it's safe to say 2020 has been a very distressing year. The situation with the pandemic has been scary and all so confusing. We found ourselves locked in our own homes, forbidden to step outside and when we were allowed out we had to wear masks, we had to distance from each other. The life we lived pre COVID19 may as well have been a dream because the new normal is something straight out of a horror movie. The COVID19 pandemic was not only scary and deadly to all of us. I believe amid the inhabitants of the earth a fear like no other gripped us. It caused a mental panic; I know I was afraid of the virus, mostly I was scared to die. Social media didn't seem to help all that much everyone in the world was in the same state of panic. It dawned on me that life is too short, too short to spend it procrastinating, too short to spend it unhappy and most importantly inordinately short...

So I saw this post this other day it says refuse to be a broke man ILWA NDODOO.  This is in short a message that encourages a man to hustle, work hard and make money. Although I find the hustle mentality amazing and encouraging I feel we forget what’s most important so I have a different message today. I say ILWA NDODOO to be a wise man of dignity and honor because regardless of how much money in the world you amass you will never be able to buy wisdom, honor and dignity. Dignity is the state or quality of being worthy of honor or respect.   As I said the hustle message is all that but is your hustle one which gives you dignity.   According to  Jonathan Glennie    the saddest thing in the world is not poverty; it's loss of dignity. For me these words ring true because where is the joy in lounging in wealth when you are ashamed to speak of how you gained it. Where is the joy in saying you are wealthy when you can’t sleep peacefully at night, when ...

  The now popular internet slogan that speaks to the female child to fight can be taken to mean so much. For me it came as a call for women to realize their full potential, as women we have been availed opportunities our predecessors would have considered impossible. So let us grab them and harness them to their full potential. ILWA NTOMBO  take your place in society realize  your purpose on this earth. As Mark Twain said the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.   Find out why you were born find your place in society, the purpose of our lives is bigger than our individual selves. Don’t limit yourself to your situation, be open minded, be adventurous. Remember the world is your oyster, don't settle for the hand you have been dealt allow yourself to dream. See the world as others have not seen it, be ambitious, patient and diligent, to realize your dreams.  ILWA NTOMBO  leave a life with purpose don’t jus...
