I failed in school, worked over 10 Jobs but I am now living the life of my dreams | Lynn Ngugi Net

The best thing Gabriel did for himself was to believe he was destined for greatness, so when he failed his exams, and could not make it to university, he decided to let that be the fuel to his success.
He would go on to work in over 10 jobs before his breakthrough came. Today, not only will his story inspire you but will make you believe in the possibility of a better tomorrow.
Wishing you the very best of life this year🙏

Anyone that is focused to their destiny by defying all odds never get disappointed Lynn. Success is for those that never say never to hiccups till they achieve their goal. This young man is the epitome of that narrative and so is some of is that thrived to where we are. Good things never come easy just like "not all sweet things are healthy". Getting everything on a silver platter shall never teach you self worth but individual commitment to your destiny, of course with God holding your hand is a sure way to attain your ultimate goal and gracious peace of mind in your sunset days like some of us. There is nothing fulfilling like hitting 50 to 60yrs without any mental or healthy issues. It takes self-care and God to attain such feat. We keep educating, its upon the youth to see what they can do wiry these free tips. Thanks Lynn.

Keep on doing the great job as role model to many youth that give up easy or keep lamenting there are no jobs yet ni kujituma hawataki kufanya.

[@gw7768]

..i think an interior designer should respect an architect because the latter defines the structure. It's up to the interior designer to inderstand what the super structure can hold or not. Not the other way round although all working as a team from Inception is best. For small projects, work with the existing super structure witbout imposing needless restructuring expenses. At the end of the day, if architect and site supervisor get the super structure wrong, no amount of interior design can prevent the looming collapse. Interiors can be done and redone as long as they leave the integrity of the structure alone.

[@kijanamsafiinteriordesign4521]

Well noted

Congratulations Bro👏. Beauty and elegance is the definition of your projects. Creativity is not taught in class, but it will put food on the table when people finally recognizes it. Ongeri is brilliant, passionate, and a fast learner. A man's gift will make room for him to sit at the table of kings.

The papers we fight for were created by people who were initially gifted whout papers by God. They then decided not to give the same knowlege freely hence school, certificates , , degrees and phd. Imagine everyone is gifted. We lack to realize it because we never ask God what is our talent. We therefore end up pursuing other peoples talents because we think they have money.

[@godfreyngwako]

Forget all the current popular names in the Kenyan comedy industry. Kijana Msafi is the funniest comedian I have ever seen as much as he doesn't practice the craft now. Back in high school he was popularly known as "Getho"...those that attended the popular high schools in Kisii like Cardinal Otunga Mosocho, Nyabururu Girls, Kereri Girls, Kisii School, Moi Gesusu High just to mention a few between 2002-2010 know this guy. He used to really entertain us during the high school basketball 🏀 competitions that were mostly held at Cardinal Otunga. I've really enjoyed watching this interview and I'm very happy for Getho a.k.a Kijana Msafi Interior Design 💪💪💪🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏

Inspiration of the highest order. Lessons learned: *From humble beginnings to higher heights. *Low grades do not mean the end of your dreams and goals. *Never give up due to circumstances. *What God has planned for you no man can undo. *Your journey is your own road. Someone can walk with you but no one can walk it for you. *Papers can be a way to earn a job but passion, gifts and talents are the mother of quality. *When one door shuts, another one opens up with great opportunities. *Wisdom and understanding are the best tools towards success. May God bless the work of your hands @ Gabriel. Thank you Lynn. ❤

This young man has also shown us that it is okey to have emotions on a missed opportunity, I respect YOU👏. That really got me offguard.

Well done for making the most of what you have. Education certainly opens doors but its not the end if you don't have. Your own "education" (Different from formal classroom) is the best.
