Sometimes the standards set by the society are so high that we think
we aren't capable to meet them. Everyone around us expects we be
successful, failure to that we will be considered as 'useless' in the
society. So we end up pressuring ourselves to meet those standards.
Due to that pressure, one will be stressed and do anything possible to
succeed. Once the person has failed in one of his projects, he/she
will feel unworthy to be living and start regretting the day he/she
was born. One always has this mentality of "what will other people say
once I have failed".
This is most common to students who are sitting for their final
examination. The unfortunate thing is that when a student sees a
difficult question, he/she panics to a point he/she forgets everything
leading to disruption of the whole exam.
What we don't know is that we can do so much than we can imagine, the
only thing we have to do is to start believing in ourselves. There are
no good things that are segregated to a special group of individuals,
everyone can achieve anything no matter what!
There comes a time that you need to be protected from yourself! Yes,
those negative thoughts about yourself need to be dealt with properly
because you are limited to achieve your goals. I wish you knew how
much potential you have.
Build your self esteem, hang out with those who believe in you. Don't
listen to the negative minded people and in the end you will be
victorious!

HOW I DID MY IGCSE EXAMS
It is believed by many that education is one of the keys to success.
Indeed it is, because these days in order to be competent in the job
market, you must have those papers! That is the main reason why I want
to pursue my career up to the doctorate level no matter the obstacles
ahead!
My high school education was not a walk in the park especially
considering my condition Cerebral Palsy, but all in all I managed to
complete it and passed the final examination. Writing was the main
obstacle because I cant write using my hand. Therefore I had to get a
student's aide to be writing for me. He used to write notes, help me
do assignments and even scribe for me answers as I tell him when the
internal exams came.
The main challenge emerged when I was trying to register for the
International General Certificate for Secondary Education. Edexcel
(United Kingdom examining body) had never encountered a case like
mine. So we had to convince them that I'm capable to do that exam when
given the right facilities. Kenya National Examination Council which
has the Edexcel offices in Kenya, suggested that instead of struggling
to find a way of doing the exam, I opt to do vocational training.
Which I strongly opposed because I know what I'm capable of.
Fortunately, we managed to convinced them until they accepted I do the
exam with a scribe. That brought another issue of the person who will
be scribe; KNEC wanted someone who don't know me. That was unrealistic
because I needed someone who understand my speech in order we
communicate effectively. For someone to know my speech well, it a must
for him/her to stay with me for 2 weeks.
Fortunately, we found a lady who was kind hearted. She learnt my
speech within the shortest time possible. I did the exam with her, and
when the results came, they were very impressive. I appreciate her a
lot!
For now I'm hoping to join university to pursue bachelors in Business
Management. If only I'm given the chance, I can achieve my dreams and
goals!

HAVING A MENTOR IS ONE CRUCIAL KEY TO SUCCESS
Everybody want to be successful in life, having a good house, a good
vehicle, a good spouse, you want your children to go to the best
schools ever, you want everything about yourself to be successful.
Well that can be achieved if only you have a mentor in your life!
I said in my article "Pursue what you are passionate about", a mentor
is a person who has accomplished in the field which you are passionate
in, and you try to emulate some of his ways and also learn from
his/her mistakes. He/she must be in the field which you want to
pursue. You can't have a mentor whose field is contrary to your dream.
If your passion is in business, find a mentor who is in the business
sector. If it is music, also do the same, find a mentor who is in the
music industry.
Like me, George Wachiuri is my mentor. He is the founder of Optiven
Limited, a company which deals in Real Estate. Mr. George tried to get
into business 15 times and they all failed before he founded Optiven
Limited which is now worth KSH 1 billion. 15 times is quite a lot, he
probably wanted to give up but his persistence kept him going. That's
is the main reason why I adore him. You can check out his blog
www.georgewachiuri.com.
My passion is business and I've been desiring to venture into Real
Estate sector since when I was a small kid. I believe under his
mentorship, I will be able to achieve my goal. Sir you really inspire
me!
A mentor is like a teacher who will model you properly, if it is
criticizing you, he/she will do it because they want you be better
like them. So if you want to be successful find someone to mentor you!

YOU ARE SO AMAZING JUST THE WAY YOU ARE!
When babies are born, their self esteem are so high to a point they
are able to demand and get what they want. If it's the breast milk
they want, they will cry until their mothers provide it. Whether it's
dipers, they will do the same until
you change them. Even if they are twins, triplets or quadriplets, they
wouldn't care, you just cater for their needs and you won't hear a
single noise.
I don't know why when a person is growing up, that "braveness" begins
to diminish. You may find a small child aged between 7 to 14 years,
his/her self esteem has worn out just because a teacher said "you will
never amount to anything in life"! Therefore that statement will begin
eating the kid up. (Parents and teachers, there are some statements
you shouldn't utter to a growing child because they will affect
him/her)
.
If it is a boy, he will grow up knowing he is nothing and end up in
drugs, crime and impregnating small girls. He will want to accepted in
the society, and since he was told nothing good can come out from him,
he ends up in the bad company where he feels accepted. Due to this the
guy wouldn't become what he was meant to be.
If it is a lady, the same thing will happen. She will grow up knowing
she is worthless, not beautiful, not sexy, meaningless etc. Therefore
she will start proving that she is beautiful and sexy enough by giving
men her body. When the lady gets pregnant, she will opt to abort the
foetus because back of her mind she knows nothing good can come out of
her, even a good mother. At long last, the lady ends up not fulfilling
her assignment in life.
But who said you have to listen to what other people think of you to
know your greatness? That's a lie from the devil! The holy book says
"you are fearfully and wonderfully made"! So you don't need someone to
tell you how great you are!
If someone cannot accept you the way you are, then give him/her a red
card in your life! No matter how beautiful or handsome they are, they
mean nothing to you! So just know you are so amazing the way you are!

THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO SHOULD MATTER IN YOUR LIFE ARE THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN YOU!
Everybody has people who interact with him/her every single day of
ones life, from birth
to death. They are doctors, nurses, parents, relatives, friends,
teachers, lectures, employers, employees, colleagues, spouses and the
list is endless.
Some of these people are assigned to make sure that you succeed in
life, while others are there just to hinder you from your destiny. One
should be able to distinguish the difference between these two kinds
of people, because not everyone you interact with wants the best out
of you! Others want you to fail so that they celebrate your
misfortune.
Those people who believe in you will always be there for you no matter
what. They know the future holds success for you. Making sure that you
achieve your ultimate goal is always their work. Even if you make a
big mistake, they will always say "get up, and try again". All you
have to do is doing the best to never disappoint them.
But there are others who dont something great can come from you. These
are people who you shouldn't even interact with because they are
always pessimistic about you. They use your weak point to crictise and
backbite you. The moment you do a slight mistake, that is the perfect
time for your critics to be enthusiastic and celebrate.
What you should do to these people is to keep off! Because if you
continue entertaining them, they will drag you behind to a point you
can't rescue yourself. In fact you should block on your Whatsapp! No
matter how pretty, handsome, intelligent, wealthy they are, they will
never mean anything to you!
So it is upto you to discern the people who value you and invest more
in them in terms of friendships and forget completely those people
who don't believe in you.
