EMPLOYMENT VS BUSINESS

The debate between employment and business has been there since time in memorial.
Some may prefer to be employed rather than setting up their own firms, while the rest opt to start small business to enhance their lives.

Well, both  fields have their own prons  and cons that one needs to take account of when venturing into. Today I  will be analyzing ths advantages and disadvantages of both aleave you to decide which works best for you!

Many of of us have been brought up  knowing that we always go to school so that in the future  we may get a good e mployment. Well, it is the reason why we struggle to to excel in our studies.Today  we have many People who qualify to proceed to higher education.

Employment is the only sector where  you are assured of your incomeby the end  of the month unlike in business where your income depends on the demand of your products/services in the market.

Another merit of being in employment is that you may get promotion for higher position in the hierarchy and your salary maybe increased. This can boost your self esteem. Sometimes the company   that you are working for may decide to reward it's employees and organize a  trip to go where you have always desired to go.

On the other hand, being in business has its own rewards which you will enjoy. You will have the freedom of opening the business whenever you feel like and also on which day of the week. Unlike in employment where you have to report at your working station by eight in the morning and leave by five in the evening. Also you may make as much money as possible provided you give the customers the best quality of your products or services.

Having your own firm, you will be able to monitor the cashflows and decide whether you should inject  fresh capital or not. Fortunately, you may get incentives from the government boost your business.


To me, there is no sector which is the best but if you can do part time business and part time employment,  you are going far!!!

THE MYSTERY OF MY LEFT HAND

Living with Cerebral Palsy hasn't been that
easy for the last 19 years
I've lived in this earth. It has been with many
difficult hurdles but
I managed to conquer them and I'm proud
to have Cerebral Palsy.

My left hand brought me many bad
experiences never-the-less it is the
best part of my body. This hand is not very
stable therefore I use my
right hand to most of the things. The left
hand has the most spastic
movements. Spastism means uncontrollable,
due to that I found it
difficult to my left hand.
To avoid any messes that it can cause, I
always lock it under my right leg.

In the past, I did many mistakes
superfluously and I took
responsibility for it. One day in primary
school, a teacher was going
round and marking our assignments. I
called her to mark my book and
she told me to wait she mark other books
and she will come to mark
mine, so I understood and didn't have any
grudge against her.

It happened that I hadn't locked the left
hand and she passed near me
going to mark other students' work.
Accidentally, I hit her and the
students started saying the reason I did hit
her is because she
ignored me, which wasn't the case. I was
taken to the staffroom to
explain why I hit a teacher, I told them what
caused the incident and
fortunately they understood my condition.

Sometimes the hand might dislocate from its
joint and become very
stiff which causes pain. When the
dislocation occurs, it makes my
whole body to shake. Unless someone
makes it to return to its normal
state, I will never be calm. At times, it can be
so embarrassing
especially when one is in a meeting and he/
she starts to shake.?

Fortunately I accepted myself and learnt to
live with it.
That has been a mystery for many people
up-to-date. Some say the
reason why I shake is either I'm angry,
suspecting myself or even
cursed! I remember one day in rural home,
we were having a family
meeting. Unfortunately the hand dislocated
and started to shake.

People asked me what was the matter and I
told them "I'm not okay but
I will calm down". My uncle opted to take me to the hospital thinking
I was sick. The doctors said I was okay but
they gave me dosage of
fever!

There was a time I was thinking to cut my
left hand to avoid shame.
But something inside me told me "that hand
is what makes you different
from others". Since then I began loving my
hand.
That's why I wrote this article!

YOUR ATTITUDE TOWARDS LIFE WILL DETERMINE YOUR ALTITUDE IN LIFE

Imagine you are a Personnel Director of a particular company and it
has employed people to work for it. Recently you have initiated an
approach to motivate the employees at their work premise.

The approach is dubbed as "Job Enrichment". This is whereby employees
are given hard task to do, the main purpose of it is to bring out the
full potential of a particular employee. Unfortunately, one them don't
like the approach. He is always complaining that the job is to
challenging for him, he doesn't meet the company's timelines, he
begins to be absent without any justifiable reason. Definitely as a
Human resource director, you will get annoyed at the employee and
demote or even fire him.

That is exactly how life is! It will give you very tough situations
for you tackle. But if you are not well prepared for those situations,
you may give up in life and that is the worst mistake you will ever
do. Life will not care whether you are young, old, rich, poor,
beautiful, ugly, educated, uneducated, employed, self employed,
physically or mentally challenged; unfortunately those situations must
come.

The most vital thing that will define you is how you will strategice a
route out of those unpleasant experiences. If you sit there and say
you are not able because you don't have ABC, you will never know your
full potential. You have to be aggressive to accomplish your dream.
Get mentors who have made it in life and overcame obstacles. Always
find ways to succeed, remember everyone has 'unfair advantage' which I
articulated in my series "LIFE IS NOT FAIR AND WILL NEVER BE".

Life is tough but you are tougher than life!

WORRYING ABOUT THE FUTURE ONLY BRINGS FEAR AND DEPRIVES JOY FROM YOU!

Human beings are very intellectual creatures that exist in this
universe. They are are are able to think smartly and work hard in
order to live comfortable life.

Humans have the capability to remember the past events, maybe the
school they went to, their first love, their greatest achievements,
their worst mistakes and the list is endless. Apart from remembering
the past, they can also slightly predict about the future.

The future is one great mystery that has been hidden from humans for
a very long time and it will continue to be. I think if it was
revealed, we would live so recklessly since we know what tomorrow
holds for us.

It is that mystery that leave us in suspense; we don't know what is
going to happen the next minute. Of course yes we might make plans
about the future (I don't deny that fact), but also we have to admit
that we don't have an idea if those plans are going to work. For
example a person may plan to hangout with his/her friends but he/she
doesn't know if their friends are free or not.

I strongly believe everyone has made some plans that didn't turn out
the way way we had expected. But also I'm pretty certain that there
are some plans that have exceeded our expectations. Due those
experiences, the probability of predicting the future is exactly 50%;
either success or failure.

Unfortunately, many of us have been through worst disappointments in
the past until we fear something bad might happen tu us in the future,
therefore we are always expecting disappointments. That shouldn't be
always the case because we are forgetting the success that we got
previously.

Worrying about disappointments that will emerge in the future will
only deprive the joy of living in the present. Sometimes instead of
focusing so much into negativity,
try to think what if great success overwhelm you in the near future.
There you will realise you were born to conquer, for greatness and you
are peculiar.

Above all keep you trust in God, he will never fail you!!!

WHAT YOU DON'T APPRECIATE DEPRE CIATE

Once upon a time there lived a very wealthy man who resided in
Manchester in the UK. This man had two children Tom and Mark.

One day the two boys were assigned duties by their father. Tom's duty
was to trim grasses behind their masionate while Mark was told to wash his
father's car. Their father always gave them presents in equal
measures.

Tom was so thankful to his dad for the present and continued working
hard to make sure grasses are always trimmed in their compound. On the
other hand, Mark was always complaining that what his father gave him
was not enough and started being lazy on washing the vehicle. At time
he used to just wash it just for the sake.

The wealthy man noticed something fishy was going on between his two
sons, Tom was appreciating his gift and working very hard while Mark
was complaining that the gifts weren't enough for him and he started
lazing around.

So one day he called his sons for a meeting to discuss where the
problem was. Mark told his dad that his work was to much and the
presents he has been was too litt
le for him. Antithetically, Tom
appreciated his father and was working extra harder to please the dad.

The man decided to withdraw the job from Mark and told their gardener
to be washing his car. Not only did he withdraw the job, he also
stopped bringing gifts for Mark. Tom started receiving many presents
from his dad and found an opportunity to go to work at his father's
office.

Many of us always complaining about the situations that have embedded
us and we forget to appreciate the positive things that we have. That
ain't to be the case because others are so unfortunate to even
breathing oxygen, they require help.

Sometimes we wish to have a certain thing and yet we are forgetting to
appreciate what we have. Can I tell you something? What you wish to
have will never come to you until you appreciate what you have!h

EVERYONE HAS HIS/HER OWN TIMING OF BREAKTHROUGH

Sometimes I just look at the way life is and get amused, the sweetness
of it is that it isn't fair and will never be as I have been always
saying.

In this world, we have very many different species of animals. And
each specie has a gestation period that vary from the other species.
For example elephants, their gestation period is around 624 days.
Ducks have a gestation period of around 28 days. Deer carry their
pregnancies for around (197-300) days. Human being's gestation period
is approximately 36 weeks.

Now just imagine an elephant trying to compete with a duck on who will
have their offsprings the first one. That will be impossible because
the period of a duck is not even 50% of elephant's time. Or human
being trying to be at per with duck.

Many are times we admire those people who live very wealthy lives in
our society, not knowing that they too went through tough seasons
before getting there. There is no one who has a great life, who hasn't
experienced fire.

You might be asking yourself when is your breakthrough going to come?
And begin to compare yourself with other colleagues. That is what will
deprive happiness from you and start pressuring your 'I have to be
ABC..... by a certain time frame'.

Comparison can bring enmity between friends or even relatives. People
who always comparing themselves to others will start to feel other
people are responsible for their failure which it's not true. Before
you know, conflicts have erupted between friends or family members.

Everyone must know he/she was created differently and with different
purpose. So you should compete with yourself and not with other
people. I like the system that was introduced in Kenya education
system just the other day. Competition in national exams was scraped
off, thats means that the students will now compete with themselves
and unleash their full potential without looking at other students'
performance.

You might be there asking yourself when will your time to prosper
come, and when you look at friends, they are blessed. Just know the
time of your prosperity is around the corner and if you don't give up,
you will accomplish your dreams.

COMPETITION IS ONLY MEANT FOR BUSINESSES NOT HUMANS.

TALENT + EDUCATION = ONE EXTRAODINARY SUCCESS!

In life, there are two main ways to becoming successful; education and talent. Even though there are other ways, these two are very crucial one should invest most of their time on. About 65%, they are directly proportional to each other.

In my article, One source of income, danger ahead, I said education shouldn’t be the only way of one being successful. The same case applies to the other side of the coin; even talent shouldn’t be the only source of income.

Let’s take this analogy of bloggers, most of these people their talent is writing.  Now you can’t tell me bloggers didn’t attend any class, of course they had to so that they gain the skill of writing. That there justifies what I have just said.

Furthermore, one can employed in an institution where a certain talent is an extra requirement, the person who has that talent will have the added advantage. Besides doing the professional job, he/she will be also nurturing his/her talent.

Everyone of us has to get the papers for employment purposes, but also we have to nurture our talent for deployment purposes. Deployment is whereby you work for yourself. And in the end you will be successful.
