Most people around you want you to fail,
They expect that when you fail,
• You will join them in their miserable lives,
Or,
• They will inherit your position so that they can succeed like you.
But if you don't meet their expectations of failure, they become even angrier and more hateful towards you for no reason,
Your growth and progress annoy them when you refuse to be the failure they expect.
Your discipline and determination to succeed angers them.
They will even become vengeful when you refuse to listen to their mockery and insults.
Such people cannot go far in life,
They will remain insufferable,
They will remain stagnant because their minds are full of mould as a result of jealousy, and their hearts are coated with thick black soot due to unnecessary hate towards a person who is just minding his business and has not done anything wrong towards them.
The only mistake you made is that you chose to pursue your purpose with discipline, order and consistency.
That is what irks them.
Refuse to accept their mockery and insults.
Focus.
In the end, you will win.
There are things comrades do in campus to earn passive income. From doing online surveys, academic writing, transcription, or even doing laundry. They don’t do these things to become billionaires, it’s just to earn extra cash with their free time and make ends meet.
If a 21-year-old boy has decided to do engagement farming, it’s only prudent that you let them be. They are not doing it to become billionaires and build empires; they just want an extra income to sustain themselves using what they enjoy doing. If you can’t support them, just ignore them and let them be. Men already understand how challenging it is to be a man out here. It’s not much; but it’s honest work.
Men,
You can recover from financial loss,
You can recover from an illness,
But years spent with a chaotic woman are years you can never reclaim.
They are gone.
So, choose wisely.

Your CEO should be strong.
Your CTO should be wise.
Your COO should be wicked, cunning, of mysterious origins, fluent in the dark arts, blurry in pictures,
A man's end month:
"Daddy, new shoes for church. Mummy said the one I wanted was 2,000."
"Hello dear, also, don't forget to deposit Ray's fees tomorrow. It is 18,000 for Grade 5 pupils."
"Hello Dad, the WiFi isn't working. I have an online lesson for Research Writing this evening. Send 6,500 to pay for its reconnection."
"Hello parents, the Grade 10 Yellow will be going for a Mathematics trip to the Museum of Illusion, Nairobi. The cost of the trip per student is 15,000."
"Boss, the tree on the lower side fell on the cowshed. Fundi repaired it. Send 4,000."
"Hello, dear, my dad's monthly diabetes clinic is tomorrow. Send me 7,000 to fuel the car."
"Baba Ray, good afternoon. Ray took three bunches of bananas for cooking yesterday. The Bill is 1500."
"Bro, the vet treated mum's cow. I paid 100, the balance is 2,900."
"Boss, the balance on the previous repair of the sockets and bulbs was 6,000. Please send me so that I can pay the electrical shop."
"Bro, my husband was severely injured last night after a fight. We are fundraising for his head surgery. As my elder bro, send 3,000."

"Good evening, your gym subscription will end tomorrow. Please pay 2,500 to continue with your fitness classes without interruption. Thank you."
"Hi, I need a favour. My gas went off when I had just put the veggies on cooker. Please send me 3,000. I will refund you tomorrow."
To be a MAN is to bear responsibility for all things.
