Dear newly minted graduates,

Ignore all the discouraging comments about unemployed grads. No education degree or otherwise is useless.

The Zim job market has been bad for 20 plus yrs yet the lifetime earnings of the average degree holder are still more than those without

I’m increasingly convinced that the ultimate sign of growth is faster recovery. You still get upset. You still make mistakes. You still have bad days. But you return to center faster. Apologize faster. Reset faster. Learn faster. Fast recovery compounds.

[Sheila of the Most High @sheilatebra]

Maturity taught me that not every woman is a Proverbs 31 woman. And that’s okay!

Some are Deborahs: Called to lead, to speak boldly, and to stand on the front lines.

Some are Ruths: Faithful in quiet places, steady when no one is watching.

Some are Esthers: Positioned for influence, courage rising at the exact moment it’s needed.

Some are Marys: Chosen for surrender, carrying purpose before understanding.

Some are Hannahs: Shaped by prayer, strengthened through waiting and tears.

You can't build a serious economy on malls, fintech, tenders and imports.

We need factories, farms, mines (which also link to beneficiation), refineries, rail, ports, engineers, nuclear plants, artisans, workers.

[Jonathan Said @JonathanSaid1]

The African continent doesn’t need more entrepreneurs. It’s full of them.

What it needs is a specific class of entrepreneurs called industrialists: business people who build value-adding firms in export-oriented job creating sectors, not rent capture.

honestly, this is disappointing on multiple levels. Among other things, resorting to calling a young African comedian a “house ni**er” is deeply inappropriate and unbecoming of an elder. That kind of language doesn’t elevate the conversation, it undermines it.

WATCH: The legs Lebo M speaks out about the disrespect from a Zimbabwean man Learnmore who misrepresented his work.

Lebo M speaking for the first time @OkayAfrica explains why he filed for a $27 million lawsuit against Learnmore and says he is being generous.

BREAKING

#Mugabe

[WATCH]

The lawyers for Bellarmine Mugabe and his co-accused Tobias Matonhdze say the state has informed them that their clients are illegal in the country.
Also, in court, it was revealed that the parties would go into 'plea negotiation'.
This means that Mugabe and his co-accused MIGHT plead guilty to one of more of the charges that they are facing.
Those charges are attempted murder, defeating ends of justice, possession of a firearm, and contravening the Immigration Act.

Yep interesting given tht in 1922, white settlers in Southern Rhodesia voted in a referendum to decide whether to: 1. Join the Union of “South Africa” or 2. Be a self-governing British colony. here we are holding on to identities that were decided for us😏

[. @naledimashishi]

I always find this chat interesting because we have a lot of similar cultures with Zimbabwe as well (i.e Ndebele, Sotho, Tswana, Venda and Xhosa) but they’re always excluded

If you see a very intelligent person who has failed in life, know that it's only because he has been too kind to stupid people.

NEW GRADUATES:

10 TIPS to jumpstart you:

1. Don't rush to enroll for a Masters: First test the field then you'll know what Post Graduate qualification is more suitable for the job market.

2. Relocate:
Re-start life away from where you grew up from. You have limited chances at success staying in a place where you grew up from. Prejudice is high.

3. Be a fixer:
There's magic in being a new-kid-on-the-block who can fix things. If you can fix something, your value will grow. Your network will grow day by day.

4. The people you call friends from University days cannot give you a positive recommendation in your absence. They’re in silent competition with you. They want you to do well as long as you’re not better than them.

5. Find a mentor:
Find someone with more exposure. Spend less time with peers at the same level of livelihood as you; their silent competition will choke your growth.

6. Invest in yourself:
Invest in your personal brand. Consistent self-improvement. Value is the measure of your usefulness. Create value so that calls come in seeking your intervention to go fix them. Attract money.

7. Skills:
Both the hard and soft skills. There’s no Degree that bestows upon you the soft skills. Lasting money flows to those who solve peoples problems. Soft skills are people-skills. Mastering them will accelerate your career such as Adaptability, Dependability, Creativity.

8. Self-identity:
Make sure you're known for doing something unique. Don’t get involved in what everyone is doing. Stay true to yourself. Live your life according to you believe in. What other people think of you is none of your business.

9. Embrace individuality:
Accept and celebrate your unique self. Overcome the burden of social expectations. Lifestyle is not something given, but something chosen. Be authentically You.

10. Pray:
There's God. You are going to fight more spiritual battles than physical ones.

A fascinating thing about the economy is everyone thinks other people's labor should be dirt cheap but that their own labor should be very expensive

An inspiring milestone and a powerful role model for aspiring doctors everywhere.
