Love your job and do it to the best of your ability , I’m impressed by the way the lady at this hotel serves you not because it is her job but with passion . Good Customer service is the best form of marketing !
Simple rule of thumb:
Worry less about future yako au income. Focus only on increasing value yako — services, skills na solutions TRUST me watu watakulipa.
My dad used to say: "You should never be outworked or out-prepared."
There will always be people smarter than you and more talented than you.
But you control the effort and the prep.
Every man who reads too many books before he has lived goes mad in a specific way. first he is gentle because books are gentle. then he is arrogant because books make him feel superior to the unlettered. then he is desperate because he knows everything and can do nothing. then he is finally dangerous because he takes his first real beating from life and realizes all his knowledge did not protect him and now he must rebuild everything from the ground
If the law is against you, argue the facts.
If the facts are against you, argue the law.
If both the facts and the law are against you, argue procedure.
If procedure, law, and facts are all against you — settle.
A reminder that good advocacy is about strategy, not noise.
Kipindi nakaa maeneo ya Kimara bucha, kuna mzee mmoja Daktari [Surgeon] alikuwa ameshastaafu kazi yake Muhimbi LAKINI bado kuna muda alikuwa anakuja kuchukuliwa kwa ajili ya kwenda kusaidia, hasa zikitokea, "Complicated cases".
Yule mzee ni mtu wa watu bila kujali cheo chake, alikuwa hakosi kuja kijiweni kupata kawaha na kutu-challenge vijana.
Nilivutiwa sana kwa haiba yake, na siku moja nilibahatika kukaa naye benchi moja katika mazungumzo ya hapa na pale nikamuuliza swali,,
"Daktari una shauri gani kwa vijana ili kufanikiwa kwenye, "Career zao".
Akatabasamu na kusema kwa lafudhi yake ya Ki-chaga, "Learn to endure the boring part of your work".
Akasema, "Kila kazi iwe ya kuajiriwa au kujiajiri ina sehemu ambapo ina-bore. Bila ustahimilivu huwezi kufika mbali. Na namna nzuri ya kutazama unachokifanya ni kuchukulia kama unatoa, 'Contribution' katika maisha ya wengine au jamii.
Akasisitiza, "Kwa mfano, Mimi nilipojua kuwa mchango wangu ilikuwa ni kuokoa maisha ya watu wengine, ilinipa msukumo wa kufanya kazi yangu mpaka nikafika hapa nilipofika sasa".
Takeway: "Endure boredom in your work".
Becoming less reactive is a huge part of growth and decreasing stress. If you let everything get you worked up, you’ll damage your mind, body, and spirit.
A professor once explained ‘marketing’ like this:
1. You tell a girl, “I’m rich, marry me.”- That’s Direct Marketing.
2. Your friend tells her you’re rich- That’s Advertising.
3. She walks up to you and says, “You’re rich, marry me.”-That’s Brand Recognition.
4. You tell her you’re rich and she slaps you. - That’s Customer Feedback.
5. Before you say anything, your wife arrives.- That’s Market Restriction. 😄
Yes, it is safe to charge your phone with a Type-C laptop charger so far it is a certified USB-C Power Delivery (USB-PD) charger.
I will explain briefly.
Why is it safe?
Modern phones and modern laptop chargers follow USB Power Delivery (USB-PD).
USB-PD is a smart protocol that negotiates power before voltage is applied.
What does this mean?
The charger will offer power profiles (5V 9V, 15V, 20V and the likes)
The phone will choose only what it can accept. No more, no less.
The charger will never force high voltage into the phone.
This means that even if your laptop charger is 100W, your phone may only draw 15W, 25W, or 45W depending on its charging protocol limit.
So, you can rest assured there is zero danger of overloading.
What is the Physics Behind It?
1. Ohm’s Law & Power Negotiation
A phone is an active load. It can say “I want 9V at 3A”.
The charger can respond: “Okay, here you go.”
If the phone does not request higher voltage, the charger stays at 5V default which is generally safe.
Energy flow is pull-based, not push-based.
2. Built-in Safety Circuits
Modern Phones have :
a. Charge controller IC
b. Thermal protection
c. Over-current protection
d. Over-voltage protection
Chargers also have:
a. Voltage supervisors
b. Current limiters
c. Temperature sensors
Both sides monitor the power.
Will It Reduce Battery Life?
No more than any normal fast charger.
What matters more is:
a. Heat
b. Number of charge cycles
c. Charging habits
Laptop chargers do not damage batteries when PD-compliant.
