If I ever obtain a Phd people will have to refer to me as Dr because I would have worked extremely hard for that title

DID YOU KNOW

Taida Drucilla Mapara is a Zimbabwean who made headlines after she scored 15 points in the June A’ Level Cambridge examinations in 2020 aged 14 years and enrolled for medical degree at such a tender age becoming the youngest student to enrol for such a degree in Africa.

Taida is the first-born child in a family of three girls. She has two siblings; Zoey and Chloe who are her twin sisters.

Her father is Ernest, an engineer, and her mother is Debra, a primary school teacher.

She completed her primary and secondary school in eight years, instead of the usual 13 years.

At some point, she had to be home-schooled as her parents struggled to send her to school.

She was home-schooled for a year before enrolling at Maranatha Junior School in 2012.

After a week in Grade One, her mother was called by the school officials who said after evaluating her level of intelligence, they had requested that she proceeds to Grade Two.

Although her parents agreed, they were not sure if she could cope, but within a short space of time, she rose to become a top student in her class.

In 2016, her Grade Six class had to be disrupted as the family relocated to Ghana.

For several months, she had to be home-schooled again before she enrolled at a regular school.

After four weeks at Ghana’s Association International School, the authorities were moved by her intelligence and upgraded her to Grade Seven.

In no time, she wrote her Grade Seven exams and emerged as the top student.

She went on to pass her secondary Cambridge checkpoint with distinctions and was automatically placed into a Form Two class, skipping Form One in the process.

Noting her intelligence, she was challenged to attempt the International General Certificate of Secondary Education (IGCSE) in a year.

IGCSE is normally a two-year programme leading to externally set, marked and certificated examinations from the University of Cambridge, and any student who passes it gains a qualification that is globally recognised.

At IGCSE, she attained four A+, five A’s and a B. In 2019, her family moved back to Zimbabwe and enrolled her at Hilbright Science College, although it was already mid-year.

The family had challenges securing an A’ Level place since it was mid-year.

In October, Hilbright Science College agreed to enrol her with the intention of helping her with studies while she searched for a boarding school for January 2020.

She took Mathematics, Chemistry and Biology.

However, by January 2020, the school was convinced she was ready for Advanced Level exams, hence they convinced her parents to pay examination fees.

In 2020, Taida enrolled to study medicine at Malawi’s College of Medicine.

Although she wished to study for her Degree in Medicine with the University of Zimbabwe, the results came late for the August 2020 intake, leading her to choose her second option, Malawi College of Medicine.

Last quarter I rolled out Microsoft Copilot to 4,000 employees.

$30 per seat per month.

$1.4 million annually.

I called it "digital transformation."

The board loved that phrase.

They approved it in eleven minutes.

No one asked what it would actually do.

Including me.

I told everyone it would "10x productivity."

That's not a real number.

But it sounds like one.

HR asked how we'd measure the 10x.

I said we'd "leverage analytics dashboards."

They stopped asking.

Three months later I checked the usage reports.

47 people had opened it.

12 had used it more than once.

One of them was me.

I used it to summarize an email I could have read in 30 seconds.

It took 45 seconds.

Plus the time it took to fix the hallucinations.

But I called it a "pilot success."

Success means the pilot didn't visibly fail.

The CFO asked about ROI.

I showed him a graph.

The graph went up and to the right.

It measured "AI enablement."

I made that metric up.

He nodded approvingly.

We're "AI-enabled" now.

I don't know what that means.

But it's in our investor deck.

A senior developer asked why we didn't use Claude or ChatGPT.

I said we needed "enterprise-grade security."

He asked what that meant.

I said "compliance."

He asked which compliance.

I said "all of them."

He looked skeptical.

I scheduled him for a "career development conversation."

He stopped asking questions.

Microsoft sent a case study team.

They wanted to feature us as a success story.

I told them we "saved 40,000 hours."

I calculated that number by multiplying employees by a number I made up.

They didn't verify it.

They never do.

Now we're on Microsoft's website.

"Global enterprise achieves 40,000 hours of productivity gains with Copilot."

The CEO shared it on LinkedIn.

He got 3,000 likes.

He's never used Copilot.

None of the executives have.

We have an exemption.

"Strategic focus requires minimal digital distraction."

I wrote that policy.

The licenses renew next month.

I'm requesting an expansion.

5,000 more seats.

We haven't used the first 4,000.

But this time we'll "drive adoption."

Adoption means mandatory training.

Training means a 45-minute webinar no one watches.

But completion will be tracked.

Completion is a metric.

Metrics go in dashboards.

Dashboards go in board presentations.

Board presentations get me promoted.

I'll be SVP by Q3.

I still don't know what Copilot does.

But I know what it's for.

It's for showing we're "investing in AI."

Investment means spending.

Spending means commitment.

Commitment means we're serious about the future.

The future is whatever I say it is.

As long as the graph goes up and to the right.

I jokingly told my homie that whenever I am working on a nice deal at work, the moment I tell him about it, the deal doesn't go through.

He said I mustn't tell him about the next one and I closed two deals worth 6 times the monthly target. It's not even halfway through the month yet.

I called him afterwards and we celebrated how we have found a way to navigate his bad heart. He was so happy for me 😂

Wow, so apparently I've lived here for a year without knowing my driveway is a school bus pickup zone 💀

@tisthepamseason "pros and cons" is short for the latin phrase "pro et contra," which means for and against

In 1971, Michael Caine fell in love with Shakira Baksh after seeing her for just 8 seconds in a TV ad.

Convinced she lived in Brazil, he was ready to fly there, only to learn she was in London. She rejected him 10 times before finally agreeing to dinner... where he "fell in love in eight minutes."

He quit alcohol and cigarettes for her. Married since 1973, they remain one of Hollywood's strongest couples in 2025.
