Video summary
Hosts Eliza Kimani and James John open their episode by celebrating their recent "TV host of the year" award, emphasizing that this achievement belongs to their entire team and their loyal viewership. They briefly touch upon upcoming dates such as Girlfriend's Day and the reopening of schools on August 24th, while also highlighting the immense challenges educators face under the CBC curriculum, which often demands long hours and exacts a heavy emotional toll. The conversation then pivots to the agricultural sector, citing the success story of Guardian Angel, who harvested over 350 tons of onions worth KSh 19.25 million, effectively challenging the stereotype that farming is not a lucrative career path. This leads into a broader discussion on civic responsibility, sparked by a trending topic about a man severing ties with his girlfriend because she was not registered to vote; the hosts argue that while personal ambition drives progress, failing to register as a voter ultimately lets down the country and future generations.
At the heart of the episode lies the critical question of "when is enough actually enough," where the hosts draw a sharp distinction between healthy ambition and destructive greed. They explain that human nature often pushes individuals to seek more due to rising responsibilities and a genuine desire for growth rather than simple dissatisfaction, yet they warn against chasing validation through wealth simply to impress others. The discussion delves into the pressures of "hustle culture," where resting is frequently equated with falling behind, arguing instead that necessary rest is vital and that money often reveals a person's true character rather than fundamentally changing it. The hosts clarify that while ambition involves setting goals, creating value, and having a plan, greed manifests as extracting resources without purpose or stealing, driven by insecurity, the fear of missing out, and peer pressure.
Social media plays a significant role in fueling these behaviors by presenting curated, filtered, and AI-generated imagery that hides the struggles behind apparent success, thereby encouraging risky behavior just to go viral. This environment can lead to scams and financial loss, while also fostering unethical competition if not managed properly, much like how sportsmanship can be lost when the desire to win overrides integrity. The speakers emphasize that having wealth does not validate contempt for others nor does it guarantee a good character; instead, individuals should focus on self-improvement first and choose to give back voluntarily from the heart rather than feeling obligated to "spoil" others or seek validation through expensive goods and luxury items. Ultimately, the hosts urge listeners to dream big and strive for growth without letting greed control them or rushing life's natural timeline, reminding everyone that true success is about improving oneself and contributing positively to society rather than hoarding resources or seeking external approval.

yeah it's crazy
guys
students hello
m the
school is opening on the 24th
which is next week eh those stories
of making a statement with the letter saying you are moving
holiday
the cs of education has said no
schools are reopening on the 24th of
August this is following a fake notice
that had moved the holiday and
people are saying a bit he movers had
decided to move the opening date
some other people have decided someone has
commented here he says the one who was given
gloria tunu is saying the one who was given the
holiday tender has
decided to overdo
another says they thought four weeks is
retirement
yeah one month is a lot It is.
Yeah. Imagine, imagine, like normally people
live maybe a month, those normal jobs
for a year or a month, you
guys are like every two months,
live after two months off off off off.
But I think it depends on the kind of
work you do. there is work that just wants to be done
yeah if you look at the school
structure that you were using even
the time table that you normally used to the
student goes through a lot if you
look at how it wakes up maybe 4 to th 3
f there 3 4 amm
then of course you will stay from 4 a just
studying studying studying until night
until five o'clock at 4ne00 there so it's a
lot and if you look at the normal work is 9
to 5 so 8 hours okay but if you look at this
other about even 12 hours 10 hours
studying so it's a lot we can
understand why they feel tired
even teachers also they do a lot of work
just talking for all those hours
remember you have classes maybe different
finish this class maybe it was biology
let's say first primary teachers no they don't teach
one or two subjects
so you teach social studies then you go you teach
science you teach mathematics you teach
English you teach Swahili and they
are different classes so that means
there's a way to coordinate all those
classes and a way you can teach you
grade six or now what are they called grade
six nafza grade f grade so it is different
you have to prepare for every class
there is a lot of work you know for the
primary school and um all those like
apart from the high school you need to
deal with the students specifically
first especially with the CBC
you must know this one is doing this this one is doing
this so like there is a lot of energy
that is required of you my sister is a
teacher Hi sis. So she was telling me
that um especially time ako it's her
duty teacher on duty m
and it's a big public school. how
many people should know how people will get to school
to sweep and those kinds of things at
what time to drink their porridge and you
know children just decide to make
everything difficult for you like it's
as if they just were sent to work on a day when it's hot
st
they just decide to be st yeah so like
she always tells me uh the time that
you're on duty is the longest period
that you stay so this breaks is cool for
them and I love it that they even paid
if they deserve it. They do a lot.
Yeah.
But now someone like me education like
being a teacher
it's a calling really you can't say I
see like there's until the teacher they
were very different there's a teacher who comes
even he will teach you okay it's entered
even you blend in and he you hear even
you live well there's that teacher who
is like ance when they enter you just hear
sleep so it's really a calling he enters
and the people if there's a teacher
you teacher is okay he used to come in and
tell them to take out
everyone who passes by he hits them on the back because it's to wake them up that's how to
concentrate on
class like w this is child abuse we
if i remember you teacher i don't like to remember i don't like to
remember there a time
school
man i remember just i was in class i think class two or class yeah class
two so i
was used to what was there that time is
there jack chana i think if you heard
jack chana was trending so there's
this what was it a movie it was
called drunk and master I think I watch
then there was that style i don't know if it's cobra
or what is it so i was to like it's like a
group of my friends they used to
do it now other time there what was it
called it's a
dictation dictation and what in English is it called
this dictation of ya ya kurad like spellings what what
i don't remember
yeah so that in English now we were that's a
session so you know we were called one by one you go you sit
with the teacher you read to
now we are behind
now you know it's sa that's what we haven't been reached now we are
in class two your time
yeah class two yeah class prefect i
cannot forget that the class prefect
said to us he
said to the teacher you are behind the students
they are doing you they are pointing at you
then the leader is
Jack Eh
so if i was called then i was talking to to
what to class like to principal's office
and teacher now i was beaten like i was beaten
imagine class two you are a
student then they say you disrespect the
teacher i even though i was there i was my friends then then i
was then beaten
until i couldn't sit down i remember i
just got home i slept then my
grammar to what the burning and
you are short we just imagine the
scenario you are short you are being burned with
hot water so it was crazy
I think i loved my dad so much because
there's a time I remember there was such
a thing for me but the teacher
slapped me and
kicked me badly so I'm going home I'm
on one side and my dad was so
angry and he holds my hand and we go
back to school you
together
principle was very like shocked
he's apologizing and everything I was given
respect at that school so my mom wouldn't do
that but my dad used to really fight for
me and you wouldn't joke around with
we were just being beaten then you know my dad
is is also a teacher so this is normal I
don't know why you're crying to me my dad would
n't and actually i remember after that i stayed at
that school for like a week I was taken out I was
taken to another school
eh we were well behaved we were
even beaten but type of punishment okay
it was good in times of discipline the
students sometimes they used to do it
there was a teacher in high school he would kick you he was
like I think he had
anger issues so if you angered him he would
really explode he could throw he could
so like
remember there was those type of
aggressive teachers there was only one
they would get you
I was called come we used to call for
bush kibush he was hungry he was just sitting
weird then you know he was one of
those big people he has a big hum then
he tells you to come here he slaps
the whole face you just hear him n
crazy man that's that's why i believe
that the government took mys they said
okay some of these punishment just for
all those stories i to tell you that we are
coming back sh remember
as much as can enjoy that time these days
it is not given like we noted everything
so yeah so make sure that you study hard
education we were cooked and we are here to use them
success we will wish for you
the best that's why you come here someone joins here
okay yes and guys farming pays
speaking from a perspective not a
farmer
Guardian angel harvest over 350 tons of
onions worth more than 19.25
million. Who was saying do you
remember when we are in school and then
you asked what do you want to do when
you grow up? Farmer, people are laughing at you.
Now see farmers are making 19.25
onion farming farming is a great
truth if you look even with this new
generation m
not everyone is doing it like some of these
typical jobs like farming they are paying actually they are making good money
let alone what onions when I look
no one knows the story of onions how they are
paid just the only few that's why you see how many people are surprised
your sign na
sisemiende ulitung kitungu only his
there are so many things that you can
farm but the market is there as long as
you give it your all you are just
looking at the opportunity in the market
the gaps market you say okay I can do
this then if you look at the guardian
angel I was following up the farm until
what is that tiktok all those
things all the trash
he sends fish then the fishy
he has a big farm actually not only onions
so he does many many many many things
i can't wait to share this story with my
friend she we finished school with her but
know she's decided to venture into
farming and she's doing so well this is
encouraging you
Yeah, it's amazing. And as we close up
on this segment, I have like three
minutes for us to talk about the
trending topics. A man cuts
communication with his girlfriend after
discovering that she is not registered
as a voter. Are you a little bit or are
you on the verge of being abandoned?
Will you be abandoned?
Hey. if we look at what
everyone has to do talking about like we have to
take responsibility even as a as a
country not only as a country also an
individual if we say okay do you have the
voters right can you vote if you look at it is
see the next generation of voters ha wanka
little bit we can't rely on so
we are the next one to be there the
ballots let's choose someone we want so it's a
good thing but sometimes just overdoing
it if you look at why why don't you let someone have a card
why don't you let someone have a card do you know
if even you have a card if you don't have a card i
will not talk to you say first if
you have a card let me know what the conversation is going on
name look at the abc is so there let
me tell you the people that have not
from let us stay at the same level I've been
there since 2022
but the point is e your point first
my point is as a man i don't know
what you were doing your lady
you know other things even though you are joining not
every single one of them are not ati they are following things with politics and all that
let me defend things with politics and all that then
before i get angry just talk to me
ah
now as a man you knew like there's
that time of like that take like
register supporter why would you ask him
that time if he has a card you're waiting after
a month it's closed that's why you're coming and he says there's a
card this guy is tired
that's true
but also why there's no card
like we are supporting each other we are
speaking we say we won
we sing here we tell everyone to take a card why are you not a voter you know it's a point what you're saying and probably that's what is happening the guy has looked for every other reason to leave this guy he saw this this here only I'll hold him but if you're
not registered as a voter you're letting
us down true
as a country you're letting us down because this is
the time we said as genesis we're going to
play among us we're going to do everything
smoothly we're planning smoothly let's go
vote and you you are not even a
registered voter what are you do you not
even a patriot like just come on
this screen come and
pick you eh why
patriotic enough but it's true buse why
you not registered buse what are you
waiting for actually why are you
there crying and saying oh eh i don't know
government oh we need to do the funny
thing is you find that person who hasn't registered for the
vote is waiting for us with the tum
then we go to the ballo then we choose
the person that we want then after we
choose the person that we want we will come and you will get it
no this one now this one is
who the young one you didn't have your vote to
change it's frying 50 plus one that one is yours
you who hasn't
voted look at you should be ashamed of
yourself and i am not sorry to say that
because you are letting us down as a country
yes and before i even get angry and
kick you out you still love me.
Let me let me end that. But yes, I don't
know if they are going to open up the
registration again or it's done.
I don't believe so. If you look there is
some even controversy going on about this
voting thing.
Yeah. They had said that we are voting this
year, we were only voting by August 11.
Now you see those things are going on, then
there was a time that the portal was hanging
a lot of
until it was opened again, inar ya funding
everything just runs with fund soon after it
was closed, so
those of you who have left for letting us
down
it will be 2032
anyways so today we are talking about
grid Gridmoni
grid is not greedy, that is, the
producer just decided today
where are we calling people it's not me guys it's
the producer okay
yeah we speaking about grid m
and the question is
when is enough actually enough
when is enough actually enough and you
know when you think about it most of the
times
if you're earning 100k
you don't feel like it's enough for you
feel like you want 500k and when you are
earning 500k you feel like you want 1
million and the cycle continues and continues
and continues. Our question is
when is enough actually enough.
Hmm. Um actually that's a good a good
way to look at it but if
you look there's nothing in you say
it's I'm enough. you can say that
you have got enough money then like a lot of money
you say it's enough but if you look at it
depends rather with the person that
you know there are people satisfied
differently at different levels but if you
say that I should like measure in
success with what you have right now let
me let me say give me a millionaire
100,000 then give me 100,000 then give
me 100,000 you know it will we will
use it differently maybe for him it means
you can give him 000 then he can see that
you have helped him so much level that I will take him out here
to the street to bring him different someone
will give you that 100,000 then he should say okay thank
you just normal just a normal
thing so it's depends on the person also I
feel like the level where the person is so when
you talk about enough and also
talk about greed you can't say ati
I've gotten so much that I'm satisfied
maybe it's my view but that's how
that's how I normally see it that like
when when I talk about satisfactory as
first the story of do is inad depends on the
person and also your level of ambitions
maybe you wanted to get to a certain
level then you got there then you say
okay that's enough for me but if you got
to this then you get
maybe a lower point you don't feel
satisfied or you don't feel satisfied or you don't feel like a film we have done
enough so you push yourself even to to
get to that type of level then that's where
people say this person is not satisfied or
this person is greedy for something that is
ch so depends with the person really
okay we have our question on facebook
so if you have a comment or something
that you want to tell us in regards to
our discussion we ask
you how much money you can make
say I am now sorted yes or there is no
end. How much money do you feel would
make you feel sorted and feel like ah
now at this time I am satisfied? Yes. So
that's the question we are having.
Comment on Facebook run and tell us
and we're going to be reading your
comments as we get to wind up. But now
let's dive into this discussion which is
a beautiful and an amazing discussion.
Yes. Amazing. Very very amazing.
And
for our first question we ask
m
is wanting more automatically greed or
is ambition being misunderstood?
No, I think wanting is not really greed.
I think it depends on the direction. If
you look at what wanting is like you want
something, you have you aiming for
something then ambition is like you
ambitious for something.
then when the grid comes in what
happens when like let's say let me
give you an example like uk you will say or
become ambitious rather you will say um maybe
what can I do what can I create on my
own what can I do so that I can get to
that level what can I create on my space
that buse that I can get to the certain
level but being greedy will what can
I extract like what can I give to you or
what can I give there that will benefit me
like really just think it
yourself in a way that we don't want you don't want to get a
card even you want to extract like
stealing the grid is coming it's a matter of stealing but
being ambitious setting goals you have set
goals you know we are going with a certain
path that you have to follow you have to follow
so that you can reach a certain goal but
being greedy it's coming and there are
no goals we don't want it at this moment
you hear someone saying he wants a million he does
n't know what he wants he doesn't know he
will get it but he is greedy for when
he sees
that he can even steal or you don't
you are saying people have stolen people for a
company people what are they doing so that's
type of greed we will say that's not
been ambitious you can say name g an
example of a company and for a company then
you hear that someone was given money to do
something then you hear that the money was lost
but maybe he was in a kind he
needed money let say 10,000 this much he was I
needed that certain amount
of money. You know being ambitious comes
when you need 10,000, there's a
different way to get that 10,000 but
still in it that's being greedy.
That's I think that's the difference.
Amazing. And when it comes to ambitions
or it's you've written them down, you've
set goals. This is where I want to get
to. This is what I want to access. This
is like you have an asset of yeah of if I get
this kind of money right now I know I'll
do this and this and this and this and
that's when budgeting comes in budgeted
personally I write even for things I
have I don't have enough money for so I
just write them down so that in case you
get the money you know where to take it
to so I feel like that is ambition but
now greed is when you get an opportunity
for more you just want to take it all
for yourself and you don't even need to
using it Hm.
money. Think about food.
you're going to fill the plate you know I used
to be told that every food that is there
especially when it's a buffet uh it's
you're not supposed to eat every type of food
that is there so you'll find someone who has put
green rice and pilau and
ugali and sukuma and cabbage and
broccoli and meat and
chicken and
it's not like they are in varieties
so that if you can't take this then you
can't take
G to a place na have you been told
I'm taking you out and are we doing
shopping?
Ask someone what's your budget? Stop
looting the entire supermarket until you steal things and
steal things until you don't use them, you
don't even know they're being sold to you, you just see
something smart and take it like that's the grid. M
if
you're like wow if I get money I'll get
this. It's going to be easy for you
the moment you go there what
you're going to do is pick the item that
you knew you need. It's not bad to be
ambitious and it's good to dream big. I
always tell us to keep dreaming. Yeah. Even if
you look at it, being ambitious
really relates to many things, not just
money, but also to work places. You know of
course if you know
another certain level you will say okay
bossi but being greedy means you
have the same goal as me but we even if
you can do something bad to someone you can go
burn someone just to get that level
so it's only it's all about I think hati
inago and with selfishness buse at the
end of the day just thinking about
yourself just to benefit yourself what
can I do so that I can do so that I can only get
something I want it force exactly I want
Right. And why do people keep chasing
more even after they already have
enough?
Is it insecurity, competition, or simply
human nature?
I think it's human nature and we have said
there's nothing like enough but we have
we all have set different sets of goals.
I will tell you
by the time I reach maybe a certain age I
want to get to I want to have what and
what what you want a car you want what
you want but you know the moment
that you get that level you will achieve all that
thing you will not say inside not someone
here then he told me you will not say okay I
got enough I got everything I had left to rest
no by human nature it
bothers you when you get you get to a
certain level you even this you are looking
for the sun land of the moon buse
you are looking just far away not not when you
get then you say okay my goal was to
reach let's say your goal is to get a car
what at your 20s okay maybe you
purchase it at your 20s know but it is
just your first car you will not worry about that
you will say okay I want another car I want
an additional one maybe even this usemea hacha nibaie mzae man
acha nibaie mama
so that's that's how that's how
different it is buse you can't say I've
read enough mi nimetoshek wacha wacha hacha nitie sasa
juonanga
What even people like Elon Mask still
have trillionaires but they still
wake up and work? You hear people
say they don't sleep. You're surprised this
person doesn't have to do much
every day,
especially when you're at a point where you can
lend to the government. You
can't relax. You're looking. You're looking. You're saying,
okay, if I've reached
this level, maybe in the next five years,
where will I be? So your plan to see
even the limits. That's why
I said human nature is like
we strive to get to the
limit of human nature where we can reach,
like human nature where we can reach, but
we never know. No one says that the
limit of human nature is to reach a
certain point we never know.
At times there is an example that I only
see my pastor using. If you used to ride a matatu and
you want to drive a bus like a man, I wouldn't
wake up that early. I would wake up at 26,
take a shower, get in my car, drive
myself to work, but now you have to wake up
at 4 a.m. to prepare and all that. And
now when you have your own car, you feel
like a man in traffic, traffic bothers me. I
need to be flying in and out. Now when
you start flying
you see eh no now I have to wait for
other people, wait for tickets I don't know what to
line up I don't know to be called I don't know to
verify what what I need a
private jet. So you need like levels
ambitions keep changing with the kind of
level you are at with the kind of
assignment you having and what is
expected of you because it mahali and
you are like wow I think I I need
a lot is required of me probably we are
CEO you traveling you have businesses
across different countries and you need
to go supervised on all of them you can't do it
with matatu yeah na do you know like the
more that you get it the more
responsibility zin is coming sa hii
you can be seeing
at this point maybe nik million change
my life forever but no get that million
you will maybe start up that business
that you wanted but after starting that
big business you know big business
means you must be committed to it you
must start investing in it a lot that
means now new responsibilities have come
from what you what you started so that's
why I'm saying the more you get the more
responsibilities come the more
responsibilities come the more you
even push yourself to a different level
and even if you open this business today
maybe after 10 years you will say I need to
expand it. So that's human nature
we must expand tuangilei that's how
growth comes you know if you're not
whatever it is that you're doing is not
exciting if it's not pushing you to
think harder if you can just sleep and
wake up and do it umelax na haifi hivo
you supposed to keep dreaming keep being
excited desired to do more and more.
hapo tu penye like James saying you have
a business you can think about how about
I open another branch in the village or the
next town by the time you're realizing
it it's all over your country and you're
like um I think we should go to other
countries because you're not just
settling, you're not just staying there.
You have to keep dreaming and keep
dreaming because like every dream is
valid. There is no dream with ati you will be told
ati and it's as much it's as far you
know um I remember in the Bible when um
who was it is it um the cousin to was it
cousin or family member to Lot
God tells him as far as your eyes can
see that's what I'm going to give you
see I think it was Abraham I don't know
yeah so when it gets to that level like
as far as you can dream that is what God
is goingna give you so how how big is a
mh dream
like you said you dream to get to the
sun and then at the moon otherwise if
you don't dream to get to the sun you want to be
here until you get there you say
your dream will be even if you
look at this hour even if you look
up the first thing you see is the sun
so you say okay the one day maybe
I will go to space but you haven't seen that space
um you know so that's why we say you
normally say you dream to get the sun
but normally we end up at the moon for the
solar system so it's all about how big
your dream your dream is how hard
working what type of effort can you put
that can reach that dream you want
yeah
now another question here is can you be
successful without becoming greedy
yeah i think i think yeah maybe but it's
very rare buse kikuangialanga you know
so you greedy
not really greedy but really ambitious
but you know people do mistake between being
really ambitious like hiyo ambisha very much
and also been greedy b if you look not
really that easy to differentiate
between the two
but greedy a greedy person is someone
that can do anything to get to what they
want to get to but an ambitious person
is someone who's ready to wait ready to
do the right thing the price just the
thing is you can be successful without
being greedy but to take you time like
so you need a lot of patience you need a
lot of even perseverance you know
you can start something just being ambitious
you say okay my home is to to reach a
certain level but that thing might fail
but being greedy you know it's very easy
even you can
cheat your way up to the top but if
you want that type of a path to go with
if you are morally morally right you go with
the patients part you say okay
everything takes time now I'm willing to
even calm down let me know I'm willing to put to
put on the work I'm willing to take my
time I'm willing to do anything to reach
my level what I want amazing um is grid
cost by having too little or by never
feeling like you have enough
think never feeling that you have you had
enough bus even having too little
everyone has
little is little to you there is a person with
100k with 100k savings that is the
least ashai get and there is someone
with 100 bob for empesa
that is very rich. So little depends on
what. Eh but not the feeling
you say not having too much or
you said it is
it um having is it is grid cost by
having too little or by the feeling of
never having exactly that feeling
you feel ah even those who have you
gave an example of a buffet when you go there you say
m okay I have put meat but I need those
zalamu I need chicken I want to even taste
crocodile today I hear
So that's been snails I have a friend
who it's everything he says as long as it
is edible I am in I am going to
buse you have never tried it you don't even know
if you are allergic to such
things but you still going there and
doing it that's been great buse
you are looking okay I'm not having to like
you see that opportunity this is an
opportunity there is no place I will see it but
you know that's why people get it wrong
why do all that and still like if you know
at a certain level if you say okay I'm
not at this certain level this the first
opportunity you got but you take it
as something to learn even to motivate you
say I want to make to to make it so
that I can be these things would be
accessible to me very easily so
that's that's the right path to go but
you say okay this is once in a lifetime
so you have to hit me well you take the meat
while you hit you hit because that's been
and you get it even before you finish you left M and
there are people who lack food.
Hmm.
Let me stop being a jerk, I'm hungry in
the morning. So let me let me not be
angry with you.
But yeah, the thing is the feeling of
not having too much niikwa nible like
unafeel kama
unafe feel hivo anytime how I feel
kama satisfy anything. You will even
feel that not only do you know that greed is a
big problem, but even the tangible things
that we know emotionally, there are people who are
just greedy for everything. you ask, you don't feel
like a match with you offer not
enough even more, you meet sometimes,
you find that's why you find even
relationship fail because of unreeded for
you want everything you want to be done
but you know everybody is and
you find that that kind of person
doesn't want to give out anything they
just want to keep receiving receiving
but when it comes to them giving out
they are not there which is crazy it
goes and with selfishness Yeah. How do
you know when you're chasing success
versus chasing validation?
Aha validation is really not what I want
you guys to see. I'm just wondering if
something has changed about me today.
Take a good look at the notification.
Someone was
asking me why do we need to get
money why do a lot of people need to get
money I told him it's not easy just to buy
or to get whatever you lacked even
to make sure you never lack something but
he told me no that's a good
explanation but not really that's what
happens at this time when I look at
this time people want to get money so
that I can show you that I have money
or J me give you a good example
what you're saying say you entered those
big offices
We you entered with money you will lose big boss
names that's the validation everyone is
looking for you can come and call me
boss like I came and call you boss and you
drive me I want something from you so you don't get
married even though I'm looking for money I
want that person to call me boss there's
someone who will be in charge the same way
I did so that's that's really the thing
about validation we want to find money
so that you can show off to other people you
know success
people see feel
people don't know if I'm with you that's why
you're looking even now when you look online
there's a lot of things that going on if
you look at the young people telling you oh
I've done this car what I've done
all for validations buse they feel
like they have made it at a young age
but you won't see it so you have
to see you guys cannot
notice that you don't like me today my feet don't have
dust and it's because they want
you to see they have new shoes you know
but if you look at even the most successful
people have never come to post online
what you what they have we you only
know froms maybe I'm looking at you online
but you'll see it online and they
say okay this the car that I
drive this is the mansion that I own no
buse they feel like there are people you know
washamake it they feel okay I'm good this
what I want there nobody
people in my life
someone is in a house you don't hear a mine doesn't know
come I have money let's go out first even though
you have lost you have lost like when you have just made some
money you just feel like spoiling your
friend
what you want today
that's why when it starts then after we
get that type of huge money but people
get it very wrong there's no need a team
umpata pesa mosha be successful
there's no need ati you need to show us
that you can respect you either respect you
or fear you and actually people at this time
criticize we don't need to do that
we get to money status and the hustle
and our first question here is has
hustle culture convinced people that
resting means you are falling behind
he mentioned that he should
call someone there asana, it's just okay
yeah so why is it that people have made
it look like when you're resting you are
falling behind or when you're not doing
anything how do you do this at this time with the
social media there's a lot of pressure
that's going on if you look we've left we're just
looking at validations people are
posting a lot of things the fancy life
that everyone wants so you're wondering eh
now I'm asleep what am I doing then
there's that saying
sleep is for the weekend you're wondering okay I
'm asleep I'm not doing anything and there is
someone is out there working maybe even if
they have a job but they still have a side
gig they have a side gig they are working and getting money
so there there's that you just feel like I should
n't be resting I shouldn't be so it's just not
good to be in a place doing something
like even if you in the house and you
just decide to rest you just feel
like committing a very big scene and
time the time that you broke
Then you're at home just calmed down and
wondering what am I doing? Where can I
get that even a little money? So that's
when you start questioning yourself, you say
okay there's no need for me to just
relax, I'm just sitting around doing nothing
while there's a chance that I could have gone out there and
made even a little money
or that I could have done a certain gig then
I could get money. So that's why that's
why now the side has come and said there are no
things to rest, now it's like falling
badly, people, the time that you are resting,
someone is outside, he's working hard, make sure you've
heard people say, "I woke up,
I went to pray at 5 am, you're at 5 am, you turn
off TikTok, you want to sleep, you turn off
Instagram, you want to sleep, but at that moment,
someone has woken up, like you, say what time did you wake up
today, even 4 am, 5 am, so when you
wake up, there's someone who is now fixing himself
well, he's going to sleep. So it's very
different. So if you look at that person the
time that realizes him or herself at
says okay I wasted a lot of time
doing absolutely nothing. But most of
the time I feel like the comfort
of home is what makes a person
so relaxed. You're welcome, okay, there's no need for
me to even wake up. The moment that you step
out of the house then you alone then in
you know everything
depends on you to do it. That's when you
realize I need to do even more.
Yeah.
M
Amazing.
Does money change people or simply
reveal who they already are? You know I'm just saying
money
change but no no he
was hiv he was leaving
i support that reveals what you are
buse hanukkah say money you get money
look at that's you that's who you are you
know money comes to you
with pride the moment you have money you
have that confidence you can say even you
say even you can go and bother the police
because you know by the end of the day it has
money or you go and you see people who have
money you're saying there are people who talk
badly you heard someone say you
can buy anything you say what so
there's that ho that's the character you had
the only thing is your ego is not
boosted by your pocket it doesn't go
with your pocket now I'm asking your people
and ego this time then with pocket you don't have
anything so what about when you
will be unable people will stay in this
world or we will pay to breathe
beside you you know. Yeah. But like you
saying that is true. Most of the times
money is just bringing out that aspect
of someone that has been hidden that
they've been trying to cover up. But in
reality you are there
and I think it's the same also for
people who give. Hmm.
There is someone who has a friend of mine
she says that I can't pay bills when she
also is paying. One of us wants him
to pay. And most of the times she decides it
's probably fair and says, "Oh, I'll pay until you're
probably going to the supermarket." You've
picked some snacks ako like no I'll just
sort the whole bill.
She is that kind of a person and I
always see like the more money she has
the more she gives. Yeah I'm hungry
guys,
there's a lot of people that
change character, like see, we noticed
the character change, but
really it's not really a character
change, I just forgot, we
were just deep
friends of m,
even when pay day comes, there's a
difference between the week you get
paid and the difference between even a
week before you get paid, there's always that
difference, the day you get paid, the day you get
paid, what can you do, what can you do, or do it to me, or do it to me, or do it to me,
but after that, then
all that's over, after you've
turned around, you're starting to get things done
smoothly. But uh anyway, what I can say is,
as long as you have money, it's not, it's not really a good thing to
disrespect other people, you don't feel
like they don't have it, or
you don't feel like they don't have it,
the good way is as much as
we say, not everyone is aver, if you have
money, not everyone is aver. He gives money but that's
not really validation of his contempt for
other people. Yeah that's not your character
but at least try doing something nice.
Yeah,
even if it's not for everyone, even for someone
you're close to, there's no need to say,
you know there are people who cut off
everyone, family stories, guys, we're not in
the same class anymore. if he just sees a phone
call he knows ah
but you can get a whole
different story but we suspect ah he
wants to ask me for money so you start to
cut off the tight b but the thing is
just help people you know everything we say
like you are rich for now but it doesn't
mean that you know things happen we won't
stay the same level all through maybe
you get to a better level or you get
even to a worse level so you never know
tomorrow you know I can come and
help you at Buuse I'm better now but
tomorrow maybe it will be way worse. So
it's you for you now to step up,
you're helping me. But if I disrespected you,
you would say there's no need to help this
guy. This guy didn't even have anything, he couldn't help
himself.
True. And when do you think people spend
money because they have money? There are
people who spend just because they
have that money. So what is always the
reason or the mind that? I don't know if I have
money, I have to show off. I must spend the
money but you know the moment that you
have money you cannot go for the cheaper
let's say you you have received your
paycheck you say it's not even
three, the good example is
shopping like this and a little shopping
even if it's just flour, what's the
oil you cannot go to the mini shops
you cannot go to the mini market you have to
go to quick maths go to the neighbors so
that you can feel ah okay I'm satisfied
there certain what I'm going to say I don't
know I don't know good word for it but
there is that certain feeling you say I have
money so I deserve to get the nice
things the big boy
you know not everyone is from a well of
family there's people who are from
average people from poor backgrounds so
at the moment that you get money you
feel like I need to buy or
pay for yourself to have fun all those
things that I l yeah we have seen this time
I think what was it I think last
week there was that trend of toys
like men playing with toys
then I was looking at you saying okay
maybe like back then You know, not everyone was
seeing me we were
looking here I'm looking at scar
scar used to to make what bicycle from
this trees like you make a good tree
you sit well
whole bicycle yeah a whole bicycle from
trees that wooden
and it was going
going down a mountain then
you put what I
put the tires you see wbarrow back then
wrow it had those shpinted type of
tires then there were flat so flat
the back the front shapointed on the top to
increase speed so this car when i got it
i remember we made a bike for me and
my brother my big bro so we went to the
mountain there was that mountain to start speed the other way
and that type that
tempo the same
so we went then i sat in the back seat
yes it's not him the driver it's not him of
course he's the big one i'm the child i
sat in the back i drove we went there to
the top of the mountain then we started going
down then i remember we hit rocks
the next thing i wake up and find i'm
stuck here so if you look back
the end there he's able to access that that
book but sa this i looked at i looked at
even mountained bike until like i have
100k I found a mountain bike
mountain bike is about 50k he says okay
this good i never heard this when i was
little so i paid you look at those toys
you see eh this even flies the drones
what you never heard that so
you feel let me come
i saw a lady post on this like
alicomment on a post like this one
you say she said me my daughter's dolls are
mine as well you look at this time
you say yeah never had this but already
you have a kid so you say i'll buy one
for my kid and this other one or the ones he
plays with you play with him you play with him the
child I think
you help him play while you are enjoying
you repaying for your childhood that you
didn't uh play. Um
why?
Okay. Is wanting to be richer than your
friends a form of greed before you even
answer. Why do you want to be richer
than your friends? We all need to be
on the top together.
Hmm. or
true true true but you know it cannot
work like that like you will be on top but
there is someone who will have even more but
wanting to be richer than your friend
sometimes yeah it depends on the
approach that you are tak uživati kuna wkane utasema
un let's say
niko na business plan ama iko na
business idea ama business opportunity
then i have the opportunity to invite
even other friends who came all along
butasema na na siwezi waita ju sitaki
wakuwe na pesa had a classmate like that one that's
greed or that's
he will not get all this these like
haweji fanya hizi kazi zote kekejake yake
but even if they ask him at his
workplace do you have anyone that can
photography do you have anyone that can
write scripts no from your school no in
your mind uživati
people are greedy out here if in your
mind uživati maybe it's let's say a gig
you got and event uživati wewe are the
event planner maybe kuna mabeshta wako
uživati this a good photographer this is
a good mc
then I can I can be supervisor event uživati
na siwezi waita juogopa watapagata
even watabenefit from what you doing or
even better than they gna get the job
that's how that's how greedy it is buse
utafeel like there's no need to involve
them ju unaogopa wat
the mentality you see for me the
mentality I always have is this um what
if we go to a restaurant all of us and all of us
are fighting to pay the bill you
know buse all of us have money. All of
us are doing well. Rather than going out
with you guys, when the waiter brings the
bill, you all look at me. It's
okay. I'm going to sort it out. But you see
it's better when all of us are fighting
to bus all of us are doing well. Now
you feel like at least you are on the same
level. You know what you know even
friendships I think like friendships
depend on which levels that you are.
that will determine if friendships
will last but they will die feelel there is someone who
knows sometimes you feel like you try to
push someone to that level
you want but not everyone
wants the path that you put on someone
else you try to help them but like they are
lazy so we just do your part if
you get something opportunity that you
can involve your friends maybe use
them
just do it there's no need to
keep things you're afraid
you can't have it you know especially
for something that it's not gna be yours neverth the you
never know the path maybe you feel
like my friend can do better than me so you're
afraid that type why do you look at
maybe if he's there he'll be in a meeting
and they're looking for someone who is suitable to
give a job say no this one or
you can bring him then it does better than
you go to that level you gave a
good example go to that level
then you find maybe you got into trouble
you helped him he will help you never
look at it why why do you get angry and say above
your friend is calling you he was
going for an interview he called you wow i
got the job and you hry we are angry not
a real friend happy you are supposed to be
excited that they they got the if you all are
working
at least even you can say you can't say you
know now if I
don't help you today maybe I haven't shown
greed or withholding things so
you still think I am your best maybe you
will still depend on me maybe for some
assistance so I can't like every
time every time you depend on me for
some assistance then there's a time that
i had that opportunity even to get you
out of the place that you are but
I got kick so there's no need true.
When you're talking about power control
and greed, um, does power make people
greedy or does greed make people seek
power?
Aha I think power and breed something
that also goes in buse if you look with
power it is coming and you know there are people who
are getting power okay there are let's say even
political leaders who we have seen so
far if you find that they are on power know but
someone has a feeling and I need even
I can take this because I have even back
then according to East either or for a while
even before like let's say traditional
someone was in power going for that
land grabbing ju you have that power but
you feel like okay I want this land but
I want even yours I want even for the bible
solomon head power but he felt like there is that
the lady alik Who did
you say? Who had power?
Solomon. King Solomon. He had power.
Then he felt like there was a certain lady he had
seen. David.
Oh, King David, sorry. Yeah. He felt like there was a
naked lady I saw taking a bath. Then I want I
want that.
So that greedy and all that made him who he is
then he takes his wife
because he has the power then he has
greed at the same time. But I feel if
someone can have that power then he
is not greedy at all. There are people who are
simple, even our political
leaders themselves, we put them at the top,
we don't want them to be greedy, we
didn't put them there, we put them
there so that they can lead us to a
better place,
so there's no need for them to be in
that greed, they want to benefit themselves first
before they think about other people,
that's where the difference comes.
M
And why do people who already have
influence still want more? But
there's nothing like enough. It's
human nature, but if you look at it, you know the
insecurity, let's say you have influence,
you know, let's say give a good example,
Kenya, maybe you're a celebrity in Kenya, you have the influence,
you have
everything, you know you attract, maybe maybe
let's say you're an artist, you have that
influence, you can say something that's
trending today, then people will start following it,
you can give a certain slug, then people
will start following it, the same thing
that you're doing, but you feel like
there's that insecurity.
Maybe I have influence today, but
tomorrow what will happen? Either maybe I
have influence today but tomorrow maybe
someone else will come and do better
than what I'm doing or do something
unique than than what I'm doing. So
he will deceive me that influence lose my
people. So there's that greediness,
okay, I need to have more influence.
That way you look mostly in Kenya
celebrity they do anything just to say
relevant. They just do any crazy thing. do
you hear who has done this today, ah,
there is someone, I don't know where they were eaten,
so that just irrelevant also
maintain that that type of influence
now and do you think okay at times you
find that there is someone who is very
generous with money at giving money and
all that but they are very greedy for
power what's always the issue with such
kind of a person ah
this one doesn't even understand himself now
why you generous at the same time you
agreed But it's a good thing maybe and
if that's good ju at least you know
even if he is greedy he will give you
something in return but for you for you
as a person maybe think about yourself
okay I have um I have the what I
have money I have the power but why am I why am
I like this even ask yourself buse
you know there are things that I cannot
they cannot go and in you cannot be this
generous then at the same time you
agreed that means okay you are giving you are taking
money you are giving us money but
deep down where is the money coming from
you have already taken it from someone else so at the
same time you doing something bad untry to
compensate that bad something bad
that you have done compensate by
doing something new you lying to
yourself buse you let's say you stole someone let's say
let's say let give you a good
example political person political leader
we put someone like an mp then he stole he stole
from cdfio
then he goes there to offage he gives
the money he stole from cdf
you know that money would benefit
other children but we stole it and sent it to you not
Robin Hood the history of Robin Hood
was a thief who stole from the rich and gave to the poor
that's a different story but here you
press other people so that you can't
give to other other and not ati that
all the money you stole you will give to each other you will give to each other just
a chank with no money just to compensate
your you say at least I do good at least
I do
So it's at the end of the day you just
lying to yourself. And does competition
bring out the best in people or
the greed in them when people are
competing?
M I think bring out both of them buse
ukiangalia being competitive is way is
is good in life buse ukiangalia you can't
say you are ambitious without being
competitive that means there is someone you
have looked at you have valued yourself and
yourself and he said okay I need to
maybe to reach a certain level like
someone then you cry there is your best
maybe you are with him you see he has done
something good then we will challenge
yourself you say okay I want to not
really do it like him but I want to do
something similar like you so that I can
also reach that certain level that means
you competitive or even a good
thing about sports yeah being
competitive like fut give example of fut if
you play fut of course there are two teams
competing but you all competing for the same goal so that you can win
the game but that means
in bring out the
best in each of the team but you know for
those 11 those 22 people in that field
there is someone who wants yeah wants to win in a
right way but there is someone who is already cheating
so that that is what they win there are people there is a team that
will come and kick them and start beating them
what should they do because they agreed
to win it but they are doing it in the
wrong the wrong way so there's a good
competition then there is that let's say bad
competition or an holy competition
actually m
now Should successful people have a
responsibility to give back because this
is something that very many people have.
They feel like you have money, you have to
spoil us.
Why do you have money and we don't have money to
pay for the hospital? Why are you? And most
of the times it's in families. When
people know that you're doing well in a
family, they now put all
responsibilities on you. But is it
right?
Maybe it depends on the person who has the
money. Not really. is not really a
responsibility buse you can't tell me
buse I'm rich and need to help you and it's
written somewhere yes we were told help
the needy but it depends with the person
that has the money there is someone who comes just
for validation then there is someone who will give it
from the heart he will say okay i need but
you know the difference is okay i
have done my best to help them so it's not you guys like it's
not necessary to say i need to help them buse i feel
like people and mistake there they say
you have money they come to me eh boss you
can't help each other people because
you are doing your own thing here he has money and he doesn't
know by the end of the day people
will be talking badly but if you
look at the process that you took even
to get that money it's a hard process being a
millionaire been even
get that even little money it burns the
process you um it's built from ground to
what so there is someone who has a feeling oh okay
i've done the back i've given up from a
certain level there was a time I could
n't even pay my own bills but I've
reached a point wene I can I can
even buy anything that I want. Yeah. So
first me I will work on myself first
even before even thinking about other
people I work on myself then when I'm
satisfied with what I want then I'll be
there and then I'll community buse if you
look at all all people with money
what they do they give it to the
community eventually buse that's that's how that's how
we actually operate ju
even if you get money at this time you will fail okay
let me help myself before even I can I
can just out to other people buse
there's no need ati I got million
now let me take it all to the village and spoil it
then at the end of the day okay I will
spoil it but what about me
I will just leave it to you I have but if you have
enough money what you say okay this one
is enough I've gotten everything that I
want then there is someone who can help us okay
just help them just m
amazing and you're not obliged to really
go
just do it if you've decided that you
Kenyans Kenyans there are the ones who are wrong
even I have looked at these online like
what do you find if someone has money What is
the tiktok lives you see there? boss
send me 5k boss what can I do boss what what
what but you don't know at the end of the
day everyone has a plan you
may see I have money but all
my money is not even liquid cash maybe even
assets that are valuable so everything is
planned for everything I am budgeted for
like there is a strategy that you are planning
even though we are talking Sometimes you may see
someone is rich but you asked him for 100
he tells you he doesn't have 100. And that is true
actually he may have money
but he has bet on his money. So he had to wait for
you to call him to give him money. These
people have plans for their money.
Yeah. And um when you talk about greed
in the modern society has social media
made people greedy for attention?
Yeah. Yeah. We have seen a lot
happening. If you look at this hour
when you open just your social media
even TikTok. I'm sure in the first five
videos you will see one about forex. So
given a good example of forex people, they have
given a lot of pressure to even young people
. Yeah.
But they show even the best lives
that you can live in the places that you
can go. But you see,
what does that show give them?
Even the young people read, even if
you show me I have money. So you will have a
feeling like okay I want the
same what I want the same so
they tell you if you want to achieve what
I'm doing right now you have to unibox then
after kuinbox then I'll teach you how to
earn what I'm earning. But by the end of
the day they are still lying to people.
So social media as long as
imeopen people like imepeana opportunities
new opportunities people at the same
time it's lying to a lot of people buse
what you see on social media most of the
time it's not the reality of life maybe
you seen something totally what people
show you versus who they really are and
what they are doing behind the backs
totally different buuse we utaassume
okay maybe this is what is happening this one was
here he was here but
do you know you never know what happen by the
maybe even we never know the the process
that it took even to get to that maybe it
's just something he got you know maybe maybe
for the company maybe the company in
indecide to go to a certain hotel then
I'll go and take pictures to that hotel I'm not you who will be
saying eh this one is
going to a very good hotel but that's a
lie I've only shown the end product
I haven't shown the journey behind it so
as long as we are consuming something on
social media what does that type of
um let's say is motivations or is it greed
we know the difference we need to
evaluate what we are consuming buse we
have been we there are a lot of scammers
actually in social media and they are
lying to us about how out even the easy
ways to get what I have seen
I have seen
these ads there are some ads by scammers all
over social media no matter what this guy
called Malcolm had complained
about it he said there are people who use
his voice just to scam people then
you know there are people who are saying then then then the
person who says oh why have
you not been fooled by this and this and this
and this so they are using it as a sound
bite that if you listen you hear okay uzi
is a non influencer an market certain
company so we we and your desire if
you throw it there then you find you have lost
a lot of a lot of money and that's how
people are losing money because of
social media
and now why do people want experiences
mainly because they look good online you
see something
Yeah. Buse even if you look at even the best
places are
the fanciest of places that you can
think of if you saw it online or saw someone
posted then you wanted the same.
I have so many videos on my phone that I
have saved. I will go here. If you see
that's the motivation that you get
you see this guy going here then you know
what you're getting at get the get ready is with
me what as I go what you see okay
you want the same experience buse
you feel like you enjoyed so even we do
n't feel even I deserve also to to feel
the same thing but we have we have
talked about social media I said not
everything reality yes you can this place
is there but some are alive you know
with filters I can make something that
is dry grass stay green while it
stays well.
I saw a photo on my friends wallpaper
and was asking wow this is a very
beautiful place. She was with a seat
reading a book on a very green land. So
this photo looks amazing and it looks
exactly like her. This is AI. Yeah
another thing AI AI is really lying buse
right now I can just prompt AI tell me
just generate a video nini nini nini as
a certain place nini nini ama
generate my picture nini
and for fashion lovers like myself we
prompt
and dress me in a beautiful gown and then I
post I post n m wow
where did that dress go okay even I
want you to save it
as
of
the reality but it's a good thing it's a
good thing actually buse at least at
least yeah we have talked about being
ambitious also dreaming big buse now at
the end of the day you are saying one
day maybe you won't be able to in the evening but you are saying just
one day I'm going to reach at that
certain level I can also I
can also go to those places
I can also even visit those places I can even go out also the
country you can visit places like Dubai
buse I think those are the most
beautiful places Qatar all that nini nini
so it's a good way to be ambitious
but don't let it control you that's the
only advice I tell you if you decide now that's
it inakudrive if that is your driving
factor then that is like you're not
living life buuse youl never get enough
buse you should know like life is always
unfair like it will be fair to a certain
people but not everyone maybe you are in
that category of unfairness
I am not in that category
Huwezi but yeah like you saying it's not
only like what you say at times you see
me doing and that's why I hate copy
cuts
guardian
has planted onions now you want to go to
plant you can know you can not know
what how many times he has tried even to
have
with farming as well there are seasons there is a
season rain will destroy everything
and you know onions are perishable if it
rains they are spoiled and all
that
disappointment in the journey yeah um true
uh has the fear of missing out made
people consume more than they need
yeah and think for more is one of the
another factor buse unafeel like maybe
my peers are doing this doing this with me
because what am I doing unaskianga me you
do kwani me you do
so we are taking that what is the fear of
missing out if it's motivating but
really is something ni comparing
M buse when you let maybe peer pressure
or let actually pe pia in kudrive you
buse you don't feel maybe my best friends
are doing they went to a certain place even if you
want to go to that same place
unafe feel like I need to do everything
so that I can I can go that place yeah
maybe save up you arrive to go to that
place but maybe ask yourself maybe
they were planning to go to Malindi place
like that maybe um saave up you got that
20,000 you got that 30,000
all prepared for to go that place but
ask yourself okay maybe what if we went to Malindi
and because you don't want to
miss out what if we went to Malindi now
what will happen to me after I left
Malindi that that 30,000 I'm going to
spend there will it benefit me like will I will I
ever get another chance to get it to
my hand again so ask yourself
that before even jump into to even
trends things you want to do and can go
wanting to go viral be a form of greed
as well.
Yeah. Yeah. Kiss you have seen a lot of
nonsense online. Someone just does actually
anything, what did I see someone taking
a dunk just to go just to be viral. are
you wondering what kind of content is buuse if
you look at it okay giving a good example
Kenya we have seen like that everything is disturbing you if it goes
even a week or so
like this time we are talking about hair movs but
I have seen many people criticizing who
let's say Nick big fish buse see
this opportunity to show yourself
at some point we were starting to forget
about his content and everything so
these days he has seen oh you guys are flying
let he took so going to remember him
like he is going to go I thought I had
seen him in that first video that I saw
with the he and then I thought it's my
mind buse hawa he is talking or anything he
was just sitting down there I'm like ah
just my mind is deceiving me but
following up he actually is there
yeah so that's that's why that's why I'm
saying people do actually anything just
even if you told me you said to stay
influence like to maintain the influence
nini
go viral ju what the assumption is
anytime that i go viral I will get
I will get money but that's not the reality
of it yeah you can go viral with know
people will laugh maybe you have done something
stupid in unless you get gigs with
companies or be a brand ambassador it's
not as paying and it also depends on why
what's making you go viral i remember
the story that i was following i
think it was the start of this year that
lady who has
this kany or who marion
yeah so yeah she went viral and bad things
and elevated the story even to a
certain level so that can keep the the
influence yeah we talked about it media
outlets talked about it but at the end
of the day what actually happened sa hii
even people w have forgotten that's the
reality of of the social media kenya
yeah you go viral for a while people
will talk but what what will you do
with that type of influence that you
have gotten or that type of reach that
you have gotten
we ndio ujue mentality
get that type of get that type of
influence umeshapata but how will you
use it kuna mtu ako mjajana una kuna kina
a person that i like it there is a family that
went viral i think two weeks ago the
mamba was saying that k don't tire the
i like that mentality that guy buse
ukianglia sa this even though I had
followed up his page like this you look at him
posting with celebrities the
likes of king kaka mata
yeichukuwa vizir akeda week people
followed him on IG what tiktok so taking
opportunity working with big brands so that's that's how it
should be when you
get that opportunity you go viral buse
you know if you go viral once it won't
happen again
so when you get that opportunity just
make sure maybe you put something up something
that people can enjoy also can relate to
see something that you know you know
even people will be disgusted with it
or get tired of it quickly.
Amazing. And um so we're going to be getting to
read your comments my people.
Yes. Um I told you that as we get to
wind up we're going to be getting to the
comments and we are on all social media
platforms at 254 channel. for our
comments we asking this question we
how much money do you think it
can do you say now I am
sorted or there is no end so that is the
question we were asking how much money
do you think is enough how is enough
what is enough for you so that is the
question that we had so um let's get to
see some of the comments that are here
and we start with Glorina
saying hello liz we missed

Nyandarwa i miss you guys imagine i was
away for school but the semester is now

point but he says the money is not enough,
only what are your plans that you have
for it.
Then I have Sylvester says tune in
like passi rongai massif massive. Hope you're
okay. We are good. So I can
say that even though it doesn't have a limit, if a
billionaire goes back to a million, he will see that he has screwed up
very badly. It's actually true.
Then we have Lamariba saying from
Kisima Marani Buuchi PMG together. Thank

unless someone stays single forever, they
can be satisfied with 1 billion.
He says as long as there are ladies involved, there is

Abu Jesh said 7 million. Just give him
7 months and he will be satisfied with his life.
Hey, keep commenting. Keep commenting. If
he earns 7 million, he's
very fit.
Amazing. So we are talking about grid
and our question was how enough is
enough
for you as a person and that those are
some of the comments that we heard. So
we go on with this amazing discussion.
If you still have a comment that we've
not read, if you still have a
question or anything, yes. You see, Gloria
told us we were getting fit. Thank you very
much. Thank you very much.
You were so lost that
we were asking each other, "What happened to
our Gloria?" So welcome back welcome
bark again. Yes. So um
let's go on with this discussion. M let
me get to where we had we had
reached
ah we were about greed in modern
society
talking about
as the fear of missing out made people
consume more than they need then now we
are going to can want to go viral
with the form of breed then we are
talking about are we raising a
generation that wants everything
immediately
sadly yes
think so to
yeah bus right now everyone everyone everyone
wants a job finish school if
you got a job if you have started your life
if you got everything like people want
everything instantly the period that
people had patience it you can do it
for free for a whole year blame it on
social media it is giving many people a lot of
pressure but
do you know in your 20s is when I think
you very confused buse you don't know
what you really want buse that's when
you start setting foundation
or who you want to be in the future buse
we come now later that is there's a lot
of pressure now ha let story yourself
like pressure on yourself even family
washanga you're getting old then we
don't see anyone playing here that's
the type of pressure then it comes after
you have reached you that mark but you
know uh there's no need to rush that
level everything takes time that's that's
a mentality that I usually have
yeah but doesn't mean like if we say
everything takes time in we endaala then it takes
time it will reach you it can't reach you
send them and then get on the way
yeah the good thing is just realize your
strength penye inal buse azeci we you
did differently maybe you see your best
doing certain thing then you see his is burning up
quickly then you say okay
let me try that thing maybe you saw he
started a business then you see it booming
quickly you say his is going
immediately so I can do I can go the
same path
every man who does business you
can start you do
n't know probably before it was even heard he was
years down the line. So you never know
everyone has their own path just
first realize your strength you say
okay my strength lies in doing a certain
thing so I'm just going
what I like doing then another thing
someone was saying just realize
learn a skill you know that's the most
important thing buse as much as we are
saying okay you doing something like you
have already started your career like
something you have already started
your career but what are you doing
another skill that you have sa hi
kwanza with mambo of technology AI and
all that you need to have that type of
skill
and you know someone will burn you
certificates and all that but they will
never take a skill away from you. Yeah,
exactly. Kiss you know papers everyone
has papers but what are you what do
you have differently from? What I have
you come here with the papers we have
the same papers. You have the same
degree, you have the same certificate.
You have the same diploma but what do
you have differently to differentiate
from what else I can offer. You know that's that's
why you get hurt even in
workplaces. Yeah, papers are important
but what else you can you offer apart
from you have in the paper you have in
the knowledge what skills you can offer
buuse the people who show papers they
have degrees and all that but ukekwa na
he they can't even if it's operating a
camera they can't even operate a camera
you see and they won't look at the
papers and feel like this you with your
diploma it your
level is down they'll pick you buse you
know what you're doing exactly that's
skills are very important education key
very important but right now we are in a
different generation where everybody can
can learn anything from online so I
can even they can tell me the work I know
there are others we can't take like a
doctor but the normal ones let's
say computer story na computer you can
spend you can spend your all four years
reading about computer science but there are
people who will just go you know we our brains are
built differently there are people who will just go
look online read the class
then start to know start to practice
means he has the same skill that you
that you have maybe we you have a little
knowledge above what he has but ye ako
have skill so you can offer the same thing
that you're offering so it's a very
competitive world sa hii yeni tuko is a
way about just standing out apart from
the other people and
that's what will make you different
yeah amazing so at the end of it all we
are not encouraging anyone to be greedy
we have said grid is greed you know when you
talk about it in Swahili is when you
realize
man is not cool if someone calls you greedy you were you are
very angry and we have seen that
it's not all about food it's in work
money and other resources and at the end
of it all our conclusion is that it's
not good at all to be greedy tosheka na
what you have but dream big there's a
difference between being greedy and
being ambitious have ambitions dream big
desire to get to those levels because
like we've said as much as you can
dream as much as as far as your eyes can
see
that is what God is ready to give you
