About 80% of the
young people today, upon meeting a prominent personality, will most likely take
a selfie for social media, because it boosts their status in the NOW, rather
than grab the opportunity to get a word on how the said personality made it to
prominence, which could BOOST THEIR STATE LATER in life. It is the tragedy of
our time, that compared to the master guitarist or pianist, the guy who has no
idea of what a guitar fret is, and knows not the difference between the black
and white keys on the piano is 80% likely to post a photo holding a guitar or
‘playing’ a keyboard. This too have I seen in our social media STATUS rush
times, that 80% of the people who take photos behind the car wheel, with the
drivers door open, and clearly with no car key in the ignition key hole, can’t
tell the difference between the clutch, the gas pedal, and the brake pedal.
I have nothing
against social media, I met Isaac Maweu (the new newton) on social media, I
discovered Lorna Muteti (the trooper) on social media, I first interacted with
one of Africa’s great minds, Welly Odendo on Social Media, I have been hired
from social media, sold and bought quality products and services on social
media. The point is, NEVER MISS AN OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE YOUR STATE JUST
BECAUSE YOU ARE IN A RUSH TO BOOST YOUR STATUS. Actually, never feel the urge
to inform everyone of your status, but always URGE YOURSELF TO TRANSFORM YOUR
STATE! When we meet you outside social media, be MORE than we know, not less
than you have show!
Don’t do it for
others …do it for yourself. Before you impress others with it …let it make an
impression in you. Before it’s part of others …let it be part of
you. Internalize it before you externalize it. Refuse to live the
80% fake social media lie life supported by a weak 20% semblance of genuine.
FLIP IT …go for above 80% REAL, and work it to 101% ...SUCH THAT IF WE EVER
MEET YOU OUTSIDE SOCIAL MEDIA, YOU ARE MORE THAN YOU SHOW!
