For most of those just starting out, work is a necessary evil. They have to get to work early and leave late.

For an economy like Kenya’s where there is so much wages disparities one must learn to work smart and not hard. There will be nights when the only sound of the night vibrating the eardrums is that of a keyboard and not crickets.

There are mornings that will not make you toss and turn in bliss oblivious of the hard day ahead. Because the earlier you hit the road the less the work load.

All assignments without a due date will last for perpetuity. Prioritizing work makes sure one submits the most urgent assignments and still remains with enough time to work on the others.

I know colleagues who imagine the grass is greener on the other side therefore envying a slaving donkey who is also exploring the options of the latest landing opportunity. Others bestow imaginary powers in the faith that things will be done somehow when they ask. Like there was machine dedicated to such seamless production.

People forget that after all it is not their life they are putting on the palm. They should learn to manage the lifetime occupation that is their own business. Caveat: only journalists can’t survive on their own business full-time unless they are career masturbators.

Which brings me to taking things in your own hands. There will be times that a bend will appear on the road and if you don’t stick to your lane you will fly off the tangent.

It is good to leave a legacy that whoever who will sit on your chair will not swing it around like it is their hips but safely keep it for the generations to come. Trust is only five letters but very demanding to keep up.

Just random musings of a slow evening wearing cold and reaching for the enter key.
