We need this kind of education revolution in Zambia. It might not be entirely Computer Science but everything that will raise a generation of creators and innovators as opposed to the current education system that raises a generation of servants.

Hi guys!
I’m looking for inspiring young Zambians to feature on an upcoming podcast.
I’m interested in people whose education has helped shape them into impactful leaders, founders, innovators, creatives, professionals, or changemakers. Not necessarily the most famous, but just people with authentic stories that can inspire others and to highlight the power of financing education.
RT if you can!
I have a friend in his early 40s who is a Senior Executive.
In his industry, reaching executive level at such a young age is not common. He has built an impressive career and has done remarkably well for himself.
During a random conversation, I asked him how he deals with moments of self-doubt. I was not prepared for the answer he gave me.
-Nothing to do with his corporate achievements.
-No mention of his successful career.
-No reference to his admirable qualities as a family man.
Instead, he goes back to a moment in his life when, against all odds, he achieved one of the best Grade 9 exam results in the country.
A young boy from a rural area, raised in a family that was facing significant financial challenges, had managed to accomplish something extraordinary.
That answer stopped me in my tracks.
It reminded me of a book I once read, Building the Bridge as You Walk On It. One of its key principles is that we often find strength by reflecting on the moments when we overcame challenges and achieved remarkable results.
Those “bright spots” in our lives have the power to reshape how we see our current struggles. They help us move from:
“I can’t do this. I’m not good enough” to “I have overcome difficult things before. I can do it again.”
A reminder to always identify your own bright spots. Those moments where you surprised yourself, pushed beyond your limits, and achieved what once seemed impossible.
They are powerful sources of confidence and resilience.

I bought something worth K194 and handed the person who was assisting me a K200 and they proceeded to open their phone calculator and type in 200-194😅 it made me sad how mentally lazy technology is making us
If someone had told us in late 2020 that, within six years of defaulting, our country would secure 97.85% investor participation in a US$1.36 billion buyback announced through the LSE, many people would have laughed.
My unpopular opinion; your full-time job should be enough to sustain a decent quality of life without requiring a side hustle. A side hustle should be a choice, not a necessity.
One thing about adulthood that way too many people learn way too late (and have no choice but to learn the hard way): you have to be deliberate/proactive about everything. For the first time in your life, you can't be passive participant in anything.
