Never Limit Yourself

Pity, my dear miss, You have 8,000 subscribers, I don't believe it. Thank you so much, asante ni sana, meaning, thank you so, so, so much. Keep going, keep going, keep going, slowly by slowly you will get there. Yeah, so, last time, the kuna episode, I mean, we were talking about, uh, Career versus skills, when I was talking about hatuwezi toshani On the side of the rock, we cannot hide. So today, Nikona guest, by the end I heard his story, I said, I'm waiting for you, if you're willing to come Sales reflection, I'll be so happy. Akikata, I'll respect that, because once again, it's necessary for me to go. So I am so happy that I'm arriving, Her name is Lydia; I would like to introduce her to you. Mumsikie. She's where we work. We work in the kitchen. That's not the kind of shot I'd expect from you. A few people were seen struggling hard with the heavy load. So Lydia is our girl. So tell us about Lydia. Hello everyone, my name is Lydia, as Seleha said. I currently work as a security guard there. at Kawaskari 2nd South Avenue. That's where I met them. And they have been very good people and amazing. I'm happy to be here, Sele. Thank you so much for hosting me. Welcome very much. You know, by the way, the reason I have you here, Lydia, is because you're top. It's been about two months now, Tangu ukamu. I've always known. I think we were just about to meet. So Lydia is always happy. Good morning, welcome in, welcome out, good day, like wait. Siyati. It's not ordinary to obtain, Many people were killed in the attack. Like wengi ukuwa wamekasirika. All the rest, at that hour, it's only a nuisance, that's all, Guards, the people have rebelled. Lydia is ever happy, ever jovial. Good morning, Domengia. Hey, it's nothing to me. Like, that's exactly what we were discussing. Until I hear your story. So, sis, I'm just here to help, My heart is heavy, oh, my friends, they have suffered greatly. Subui, I wanted to talk about moods, but... To my surprise, you're completely the opposite. Like Lydia, whoever is left behind will be left behind, will be abandoned, you will be left alone, Hey Lydia, I'm waiting for you, please hurry up. That's how their spirits remain unbroken. Known. So, how did you end up there? Because with the kind of attitude you have, God. I mean, it's not something we would have expected. We don't expect such. Therefore. Therefore, use it like this for a person. I don't know what people's perception is. have about security guards or something. But I think it's about life and the way you connect with people one on one. And especially the most important thing I would say, You should learn your environment. For me, that job, sorry, You know, it really taught me how to learn about my surroundings, you know. I'm there, I need to interact with people, you know When you're interacting with people you should know how to carry it out yourself You know, you should be polite; that is one thing. You should have a lot of etiquette and manners, you know. You are interacting with different classes of people, select And you need to understand this person from their own perspective. And Mom, from their own perspective, yeah Some guys are top-notch, you know. God is good as He is good, indeed through the goodness of the good entry In the middle of the positive corridor. Therefore, the observer should do something about it. God is good as ACHO said. Therefore, therefore, for those of theirs. Those ones there. Mother. God. You know, Only the wise can understand the depth of many things. For the sake of the sake of the sake for many. For such matters, many people do it. So was it something you always wanted to do as a child? Like huki grew up huliko... Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. So it's not here, just offer to help us. Yes, from doing. Thus, for ease of use, the lid should be easy to open Your warrior, but for the sake of the people, on this one of doing wonders. Just stop doing it. By doing so, by doing so, by doing so. That's why doing many things at once is doing one thing at a time. Doing this, doing this. Therefore, Hi, I'll do this. therefore, therefore, The bare minimum at our current stage is also education. therefore, and access to proper healthcare, you know. So I found myself in a really bad situation Therefore. that I couldn't even manage to pay the rent for the house even to do the smallest thing you could Do it as a parent would for your children. And you know, sometimes when you look at your kids, These are your full responsibility, you know. You can't delegate parenting roles, you know. As a parent, you know, these are things you should These are things you should do because they trust you to do them. do it because they trust you to do it for them, especially now that they're completely dependent on you as a parent, right? So, a few businesses here and there, business wasn't doing so well, So, one day I sat down at home and I began asking myself, What can I do? Therefore, life has a time, a lifespan. To the wall, ama to the limit. Yet even so, you sit there and tell yourself, I need to do something. Even if I have my diploma in medical laboratory technology and I can't find a job, That doesn't mean I can't do anything. I won't sit here and watch my children go hungry. I won't sit here and watch life turn into what it has become. That is how I found myself on Garissa Road, 2nd South Avenue. You go, you enroll. Yeah, just woke up. They didn't ask. For your diploma papers, they didn't ask for anything. No, like you're willing to be here, sitting here. so venyatu liyamuka ukamuka enda they didn't ask For anything they didn't ask for, they didn't ask for papers. for you to give them to give You that job? No, I wouldn't say so. so of course for any other job in Kenya however Out of laziness, of course You have to present your papers but you see, for this job application I'm submitting, it's for a security position that they really don't need my documents as a medical laboratory technician so whatever the minimum requirements that they needed, I think I qualify for. What were those requirements? Of course they were asking that you should know about 2.5 Therefore, therefore, therefore, therefore, Therefore. You have kids to feed, you have rent to pay, You have barely enough for your family. That's why I take it, I've endured as much as I have done this, I need this at the same time. So you got the job, you went, and you got the job. I'm so sure about your job. Ako. Yeah. Asti. Do you ever, okay, I'm not so sure, but I'm asking. Sometimes, do you ever doubt yourself? Do you ever ask yourself questions? Like, in the morning, I just woke up, at breakfast time, I woke up. Wengine, I'm sure, faces numerous challenges. I'm sure there are so many challenges. So, do you ever feel like... Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. Therefore. You know, someone says nature. Nature follows a rule of imperfection. You know, when you look at yourself as well, There's nothing wrong with you either—you're not perfect yourself. You know, someone told me that if you cut yourself in half, you just Probably your left breast is bigger than your right one. You know, your left hip. You know, that is the law of nature. It does not allow perfection. You know, you can't be perfect in everything you do. So, true. To be honest, when I first arrived at that gate, I looked at myself and it felt more like a downgrade. You know, I'm so and so, I used to, you know, Previously, when I used to work with the county response team on COVID, I can tell you, I was accustomed to the title, Dr. So and So. You know, Doc, you know, enda kwa daktari wa so and so, Even though I did it, you know poate, and I was so passionate about the art. Benchwork and everything Nobody knew. That girl is top notch. And I think this is also something I've learned through life. Anything you're interested in doing Do your best. So when I was at the hospital setup And I was acting as a doctor. What is my profession? I was good at it. ISimilarly, I acted in that capacity To the best of my ability And now I'm here It's more of a downgrade. Now I'm acting like a security guard. This is life that has driven me to that level. You see? But even so, I will serve. You're still doing it at your best. To the level, yeah. In that capacity, I still give it my best. So I understood the environment I was in. And I saw myself as a security guard, you know. I wouldn't go there with my, you know. Given my educational background, I relate to everyone at the level they bring. Because I, you know, at this time, And I thank God for education. You know, someone says you go to school to acquire education. But in the end, this education It's not about the papers you produce. But how well are you able to blend? In the society you're part of, you know? Can you associate with someone who is not of your, You know, someone says of your kind or of your level? I love what you do. Giving your best in whatever situation, no matter what or whatever rank or whatever position you are assigned to. You said it here, I said it, you know. The same way I'm saying "pale kwa gate" every day. Lydia, your chicken rice. Like. Even without lying, I loved you. By the time I go to learn Your story, and I was like, no wonder. Okay, well, she was suddenly filled with joy, as if struck by lightning. But I could sense there's something extra about you. Juhu unahuanga tu, yani, ata I am so sure I am a person who is always ready to help others. Zileza, huh, why is he so different? Like you're giving it your best. As much as you know you're supposed to be a doctor somewhere, seated, you're the one who keeps prescribing In large handwriting. But you're doing your very, very best where you are ready. Because it's for a season once again. Sintio? Be my forever meamuka. Yeah, sure, sure. Sintio, it's just for a short season, then you leave. Now, ask Lydia. Just tell me, like, two challenges you face. Where you are right now On my daily income Because those people are going to watch this And you know we assume We really assume What work are you doing? Open the gate only Mina is about to open We really assume Until, let's say, they arrive there The gate was opened. The shoe was opened by him. Lakini, you're like I will open it for you today You know So ebushia maybe a few Just two challenges There is no such thing as a non-existent thing. I'm just here to listen to the challenge Yes I would say this, and I think it's based on experience. The first challenge you'd ever face, you know, the moment you're in that uniform, people will... I'll take you as you are. You know, I would say, While uniformity is not always good, like a certain type of dust. I was reading. Exactly. And then, we were just ordinary people. And you know, they associate with you at your own level. You know, I'm looking at, for example, There comes a time when you're opening a gate. You know, sometimes, zile garezi ukama, They are very nice cars, nice models, and some of those, you know, big machines that everyone else would. Want to drive, you know, and I'm hoping also one day I'll be, you know, So someone comes, they pack(Into) their car there, at a take, kushusha kiyo, You know, they're wondering, Sasa huyo antaka kuniambia nini, But when you're the one who's been left behind, you know, and you're the one who's suffering from it, Anapambia, yes, you need, you know, with that kind of arrogance, and And I don't know. The book will need to be filled. Yes. The book will need to be filled. You know, they are very, atawea andika. You know, they're even doing it, they're actually doing it, Sometimes I even think they're doing it out of spite. When someone tells you, "atawaea andika." You know, is this what they think—you never went? to school without being able to read and write, you know. Is it that they have this machine? And they think they're better than you are, you know. So, I really find that completely inappropriate. Humility is something that each and every one of us should embrace. You know, whether you fell from heaven or whether you're just bored. No one fell from heaven. You know, no matter the circumstance, humility is essential. You know, if you find someone, just quietly do whatever needs to be done. You know, being kind doesn't cost you a thing. So, and there are no points, It doesn't cost you anything to be kind, which is very true. Yeah, but But when that person was about to leave, there, right then, Like, let's show this, let's show people have cars. Hawa is mindful of the path ahead, walking carefully. Like, I'm so full, I'm bursting, you're a splash. I think we need to be very mindful. Like, we need to be very, as much as Nikona stresses me, I need to know the price of kuna at the place. I'll go to the office to get that doctor, then I'll come back. I was supposed to go to the doctor, but now I'm the doctor. Yeah, that's the thing about gates, you know, it's that, it's that. Like, we really... Investigation. Survey Yeah, we really judge people. Because you won't tell me there's a person Who goes to a doctor and I go. Sleep, sleep, sleep They start high doc. So my baby, just like we begin with high doc. Hi, Gadama, sasa, sasa mkubwa, msalimie, just as you answered those questions, please answer these. Yes, but I sincerely apologize on behalf of those people who do that. But we need to be mindful, guys. We really need to be mindful. So, that is one of the challenges. that you can actually encounter there. Yes, I would say. But not everyone is like this. Not everyone. There are people who are kind enough. They will just listen to what you have to say. And once again, I would say the same. Even we in our own profession now in that line The duty of being a security guard. There are people who are angry with us, and their anger is evident. I wouldn't protect us all the time. So you get someone who's come, you just relax and do whatever you want, you know. No, I'm not using it, I'm just keeping it here, you know, stuff like that. You're being rude to this person for no good reason. Because number one, Sele, if you just came in and you're driving And you met me, I don't know you. You don't know me. So I don't think there's any form of friction that could occur. Because literally, We don't have any common ground to share unless we find some. The least we can do is be kind to one another. Therefore, it is a thief just the same way that it is a thief. You know, akuje, serve this person to the best of your ability. and let the person go in peace, you know? That is all we could do. So, and again, another thing you'd say, challenge, I got it from yogurt. I think that is the outstanding one. And I don't think there's any other that is so... Outstanding, I'll go and mention you're a single mom, yeah Of course you're a mom too, two boys and four girls, you Know, two girls, mama girls, mama boys. So you mentioned you're a single mom, I'm so sure you face challenges right alongside you in Kenya as a mom, yes Also with what you're doing, yeah. Do you... some of the challenges you face as a Mama, sweetie, beautiful girls. Yes. Oh, okay. I would say, the outstanding challenge as a mamu, especially now with this current job that I have, I really don't get to interact with my kids as much as I would like to. because that is a tedious task. In fact, let me tell you one thing. I never knew this, but now I am beginning to understand. When the sun is hot, a person gets tired. You just sit there You're doing a good job. But trust me, I get so tired Actually, much more tired than I would I was busy doing other things at that time. Probably business, or even when I was practicing as a doctor or something. I see, that guy has a mobile job. Like fatigue now, I'm talking about fatigue. I'll come back, I'll come back. And then, you talk to people from morning until evening. You need to understand how, and these are actually different people. Someone came to work, oh, the lazy one came looking for work, Even if you were to die, or if you were to be burned, or if you were to be destroyed. The house help is inside, you know, some people are coming. to see their bosses, others, you know, everyone is coming down that street with their own personal you know and you need to associate with them accordingly You know, and then again, uh As a mother, you're facing major challenges with this job. I work from six to six, just like I do. to leave my house by five in the morning Therefore, therefore, therefore, therefore, therefore. I'm talking about six to six, seven days a week. Monday to Monday, Sunday to Sunday Yes Like akuna off Akuna off On the holiday, we usually get four days off per month. So that would amount to one day per week, you know. And sometimes you just can't get it, not even for those four days. Sometimes in a very cumbersome way Because sasa utapata nani wakuku replace Or when days are off, you know So I feel it's derailing me And especially my children—they are being affected. Because if you're living at five Who will take care of the child, you know, they need to go to school. They need someone to prepare them and do a few things. And then you're finishing work at 6, so I won't see you from the job at 6. Before you get home, what time are you getting home? That's about 7:30, 8. Before you do your supper, wash your kids, homework ya CBC, They have been in school playing all day. So they're tired, you know. You're tired, you know, you've been sleeping. Sometimes it's as if you even find them Wamelala kwa kiti ni kuwamsha, you know. You hurry, hurry with your supper, stir, stir, mix, mix Mom, amuka, ukule, woge, and then you go back to sleep, you know. On the payroll, there are 8 to 5 complaints from staff. There's someone who complains from 8 to 5. Like, you see how we have, we take, we overlook things. Like you, you would prefer right now that we go from 8 to 5. At least, ee, come to the house by 7:30, or 7, let's meet at 5. On the fifth day of the month. You have to be there 5 minutes earlier. Because that's when you leave your house, you know. At six, you need to be at work. That is your reporting time. My waifu is the type who would charm all kinds of people. Good morning! Good morning! Like, what? Like, if I speak, if at all, it's only because I'm forced to by someone else. Yeah, sure. I feel that's the only time I truly resonate with that person. Yeah, sure. You're back, you gate, one day, good morning, vup, vumbi. Sasa, ni kusaidia aje, vup. You know, until we imagine, umse, watu wangapu wana, Indeed, those who have passed away are seven in number. I mean, I think he would have been eliminated in that position, You, little by little, you start being mindful. Yes, you will be mindful of this person. You start, understand that person, Respect your own, just a little bit of patience, and you'll see the result. Jujui will be closed for the next three days. Therefore. Therefore. And let me tell you something else as well. Some of these people, I come to realize, Choose someone, life becomes so entangled with that person. Stupid, you know, just do this work for me. It's a peculiar job, let's just be honest about it. Although some of these odd jobs in Kenya They are well paid somewhere around this globe, you know. If you got a security job today in the UK or even in Canada, Trust me, you have good money, and also, It's not just a menial task. But unfortunately, it's a menial job in Kenya, you know. For myself, using using using using. Therefore, the way to do it is by using it. I am a man, and I carry things inside my bag. Hamekua, hakejiuliza. You know, this person is looking at good houses. Probably, most of them actually even attended school. You don't just take, even though that's the case, right? They went to school. It's just that they didn't have a platform. Mother, life didn't favor them. Mother, their time has not yet come. Yes. It's just time. No, no. You know, the moment you look down on this person, right? They sit back. Answer a few questions, please. This man is currently a member of the gang. Yes, I understand. You know, these are really tough questions to ask yourself. And if you find that this person doesn't have the kind of, you know, sometimes even stress management policies or even, you know, You know, even if I'm not the one to blame, you might still be wrong. In my own capacity, I will understand. When you're at the gym, you're talking about your stress. Leo is arriving. And let me tell you, these people don't behave either. They act differently every day. You might even be living there. So you are, in order to be able to assess one, You're my friend, you know. When you get off work, You have your own problems, and yet you come here. I show up at the gate and I'm like, boop boop, hooting all over, you know. And I'm like, eh, Leo, why is everyone suddenly so excited about this, you know. Fungwe the gate like this, now, right now, you'll feel it today, it'll shake you, You're attacking her, you know, you need to understand this person. They probably had a busy day. When they are here There, you need to be kind to them. Now, my dear, your day has come, be strong. And then some of them ask, "Why is my child not growing?" And then they're like, yeah, nilimona akipita. You know, even at that point, you still need to be of help. Because sometimes you are of service to these people. Someone you live with told me, Lydia, your number. When the school bus comes here, if you're late, just give me a call. You know, he's a parent; she probably needs help in one way or another. So I think. Challenges have been constant throughout, but we shouldn't take That's what I'm saying—taking these people for granted. Because one day, one time, because I remember there was a time at a lady's place, halianguka hapo kwa gate. Alikoma kusalimia, I hope so. No. Actually, she was a passerby. So, I'm just sitting there, Naona watu wakopwa grupa, na nambia, Lydia, Lydia. Not even Lydia, who is also a woman, you just come here. And I'm like, this guy, why are they calling me? From the other side of the road? And I was like, ah, you're really pushing me, you're making me go with you. So, sinka enda, kaniambia, bo, ona. And then I found out, it was an innocent lady, ya meaunguka. And I'm looking at this person. Therefore, for thus, therefore, therefore, Therefore. We do a little research to find out what exactly he does or where he's heading. So you stay for a while and then you leave. So I was looking at our case. She was just driving out when the accident happened. Welcome, you know, to the village. So in the case where unisalimia angi sele, Oh, Unani, where are you from? a car that broke down, and another one that broke down too, you know, Who would be the first person? You know, you know. Greetings, friends. Exactly. So we need to be mindful of these people Because they are an integral part of us And we live with them every day Let us appreciate them to the fullest extent In both cases, I think neither way Whatever one hears about it Help your friend, help yourself What is the price of the shoes? So I'm so sure you still blas your dreams Even despite everything And I am so I feel so good that you're still happy Even despite knowing where I am It's not where I want to be Like that, my friend Like, as much as hakuna matata, which is sad, No problem after going to school, after completing all these courses, I did all those projects, no work. But in whatever area, what can you do? At least... Eat your food, eat your porridge. Knowing that the place where we want to go is near, Every day, the gate opens for each person. You still have somewhere you want to go. So I was just about to tell you, where is that? Just in case we get the chance. In case someone's watching, that's your chance. Mhmm. Askia, what would you love to do? You know, yeah, that is a good question, Sele. That is a very nice question. Of course, my dreams are still valid, just as Lupita says. I used to say that when I grew up, I wanted to be so and so. And life has no purpose. It kind of frames you and shapes you. Sometimes the decisions, you're not that young. When you're young, you're going to have to create a life that's all about something. When I want to be a doctor, I will be a doctor. If you study hard here, you'll get good grades in both physics and chemistry. It's not easy, you know. You go to campus and life somehow, sometimes even guys, Like, unfortunately, guys even get pregnant. You're dropping along. No, it's not easy. Motherhood can come, you know, other things can too. In the course, yeah Sometimes they might swipe away your dream completely. and sometimes they might just gently shake you that you really don't, someone says you aim to reach the moon Just in case you don't reach that height, you fall. on somewhere that is higher than than you wanted to be or even not sorry never not that you wanted to, but at least you're somewhere even closer to the mark Though you don't hit the mark, you're somewhere—you made it. Progress at the end of the day is what matters most. so back to your question, where I want to be me; I look at myself as a lady. and as a woman who will excel in her career And as a woman who will excel in her career, You know, being a mom, You know because you know, in the end, you can excel in your career In and if you do not properly delegate your duties as a mother to nurture your family and to be there for them, to be there for your children You've failed in one way or another, you know. As much as I want to be somewhere in life Now this comes I have always viewed myself among the shared belongings, many of which are mine, but I was coming from from the last row ...then I was coming from coming from The hospital established a system whereby I simply have To handle patients every day, in and out. One day I look at myself and say to God, "I would want to be a researcher." as a health researcher I am focusing on You know, critical illnesses—like when COVID came, it really affected me. an insight, something that I want to do. That's exactly the case in that example—it's a tricky situation. What's wrong? What is this thing called? What's wrong with this picture? What's the matter? At that point, I decided to stop being a fool. Because of that, I was very angry. Nihirikisha. Mother, I am sorry for troubling you, On the other hand, it's a million, a million, a million. When the heat is intense, everyone will know. To the village, very far, Due to the difference in water levels between the two sides. As if doing and making, Since I graduated from college, I haven't had the opportunity to sit in a class. But let me tell you one thing—I know it sounds like it's too late, But it's not that late. Because if life had been what I wanted it to be, Believe me, right now, I'd already have finished my master's. You know, I was sitting down and doing the math, where exactly did I end up? You know, I might have already finished my master's degree. You know, I'd be Doctor So and So. You know there are things I've wanted to do. That I have not been in a position to do That I have not been in a position to do. Probably I probably wanted to specialize in this field of study. But I have never had the chance to. Perhaps for one reason or another. But I know those dreams are still there. Those dreams are still there. And they are still there. Yeah, that's not bad at all. Still, even right now, unesarudi shule. Yeah. In a few years. You're here, by the way, you know, it's always a matter of time. Time, time, you're here now, you've got your master's degree. Like, all of this is a story. By the way, Lydia, it's going to be a very beautiful story. That's a long time, imagine, after COVID, I will earn my doctorate next year, I will be. When I'm done, make some jokes. Like, it was a very beautiful story. Like, life is a journey, you know, it's... I'm here, well, sisemi, I'm not here if you're not here either. On one occasion, but it's a story. Your story is awesome. Like, you're really crafting your own story right there. And the time will come, when you will hear this story, You're the master of all, all these things are nothing to you, I wished, I wished, I wished, ziko, the traffic. As a matter of fact, eh, as soon as next. Ivo. So, personally, I am. I am so grateful for your journey. Because your journey is going to inspire someone out there. I wonder why the teacher is always angry at school His life ended there. Like anayeka. Therefore. But here is the story of the drought, Lydia. What is this kind of fruit? I'm sorry. I got that one in college, yeah. She is seven. She is now seven years old. So it's a tough life. Back then, I'm sure Luko thought nothing else would happen. Huko nota imaliza masomu. But with time, time makes things better. So, maybe a closing remark to that girl. That one, the one who was right, that situation was back in college. Yeah, because there's someone right now at Wakotua. Maybe I'll change something as we wrap up the show. What I would tell this young generation is, Sometimes life controls you, as we have said. Situations exist, but they They're never permanent, just like you said—life is like that, you know. Nothing is permanent. You might be in that dark moment when you're probably pregnant, Or even if it is not pregnancy, some are delayed due to illness. You know, I met the person when I was in school, But Haka Ikabidia dropped out of school, probably due to illness. Others, this is poverty—school fees, whatever the reason may be. It is a dark moment for you, at that time you're looking at yourself. And you're thinking, will I even make it? You know, there comes a time in life when I look at my friends, people we studied with in high school or even in college. I sit back and look at them, you know, Some of them are driving really nice cars. You know, some have made it in life, you know. Some of them, when you look at them, never actually performed, by the way. They're good, you know. And you sit down and ask God, where did I go wrong? You know, where did I go wrong as a person? is there something that I should have done that I You never knew, but as much as life pushes you to that board never give up, true, that is the Never give up, no matter how hard I'm pushed. The best you can do is ask yourself in this situation That I am in, what is it that I can do, you know? However little it may be, you just need that first step, you know. I remember before I came to Nini? To Garissa Road, yes. Before I came to Garissa Road, there was a time I was down and I was in my house and I was asking myself, You know, that time you've just lost your job, You've been at Umekaa's place for some time, yet you're still in denial. Test me, like, I can go from being a doctor to just, you know, While Taitoloto was still young, You can do those other tasks you've been assigned, Like right now, what you're saying, the white-collar job, you know. But I came to realize, at a nikiamka asubui, I remember that day, niliamka na meza yangu. By the way, I'm good at cooking. And I asked myself, what is it that I can do to even earn a living? I didn't have any means of, what? I didn't have a starting point. I remember my neighbor alinibayangaunga na mafuta. I had a jiko, I went home, picked up a jiko, And Nikaanza tu kupika chapo from nowhere. My kitchen table is placed in the corner of the street. And that's how I started making chapos, you see. At first, it started with chapos, the business grew. I did smoky eyes. There was a time when I did that. Yeah, and... Actually, people came to the village. My dear Kwanza, to my surprise, I spoke on day one, and I spoke on day two. That's the kind of thing that really gets people going, like, people are truly fired up. I don't know about that matter. I just woke up and I did it. I said to God, this is what You have given me the second time. to what I can be professionally like. You know, I can cook. Let me just go out there. I make my chapos, and I love cooking chapos. So, mini kanzatu kupika hizo chapoza. Now, do you know that day, of course, People knew him as the one who had been there. So, tomorrow and the day after, you'll know, oh, yes, The man is carrying a heavy load on his head. So, I started selling. To my surprise, I had finished cooking. I have not seen him since that day. They were being lined up there as you were there. So, what I'm trying to say is this. Apart from... Life is tough and you feel like giving up, or what? your education, or whatever it is you think you're best at, There must be something somewhere, hapo kwa kona. And if you just dig deeper and if you stop wallowing in that self-pity, You know, most of the time you find yourself in this situation And you find yourself, so hopeless, so helpless. If you give your mind In that situation, right now, there's nothing I can do, and you start. Let's start the selection process, trust me, there's something you can do. You just need to rise. Therefore, therefore, Therefore, therefore You don't have to do anything so big to make a significant difference. You just have to trust yourself with the little things that just help you get by in life. Thank you so much, Lydia. I hope the one who should hear has heard, he has heard. Sorry, I don't understand.
