I am in no way a millennial.
I still own a Kodak camera that requires an exposure
roll of flexible film which is later used to develop photos in a
darkroom. To-date, I would rather a manual car than an automatic car, and the
last time I saw someone with a selfie stick I wondered why a young girl, whose
name I later learned was Slay Queen, needed a walking stick. I was born and
brought up in the last century in a small and not so quiet village called Matwikani
in Makueni County. I say it was not quiet because in this village lived a
medicine woman, and people travelled far and wide to seek her assistance in
matters health and ‘protection’ from evil that had befallen them, or that which
they FEARED might befall them.
Oh
fear, why do your illusional teeth bite so bad, then reach so deep?
But then, there was
something else about my village. The few, and I mean the very few young people
who competed well enough in high school and made it to the university were the
best examples. They were adored. Falling in love with them was not a choice,
especially if you had ‘chosen’ not to make it to university. You had to love
them, the whole village did. And for sure, we kind of thought that they were
the true essence of BRAINS OVER MATTER, because those who competed well enough
to make it to ‘campus’ MATTERed, the rest were just MATTER; they had weight, and they occupied space!
…and they didn’t seem to have a place in the world …then
That
for me was the greatest delusion of my century, but hey …the world has moved
on, so should you and I
We live in a different
world now. In this century, a peasant can find their place at the palace, and
the poor can sit at the high table with the Prince. This SHIFT is based on a
not so new, yet not quite embraced concept. I DO NOT BELIEVE in COMPETING for
WHAT I WANT, I believe in CREATING WHAT I WANT! THE BEST WAY TO SECURE YOUR
FUTURE IS NOT TO WORK HARD TO BEAT SOMEONE ELSE AND GET WHAT THEY HAVE, BUT
RATHER TO WORK SO SMARTLY TO CREATE WHAT YOU WANT. If I was a millennial I would
say #CREATIVITYisBAE. I am not, so I
will say it this way. If there be anything like a COMPETETIVE EDGE, then it
would be CREATIVE EDGE. Your ability to bring creativity to your business,
relationship, career, passion, studies, innovations, inventions and any other
venture you may engage in, THAT IS THE BEST WAY TO PREDICT YOUR FUTURE!
Disclaimer: I have
amazing millennials in my life, and one in particular, Brian Kasaine a.k.a B.K has been giving me some millennial jabs
against my will. I will end this as B.K would…
…SCREW
COMPETITION!
Woow! #creativity Is Bae
