Hey there, let’s talk about the age-old saying, “Study hard and life will be easy.” It’s funny how that statement used to be like a magic spell, filling us with hope and excitement. Remember when we were kids? We believed in it with all our hearts. We thought success was just around the corner, waiting for us with open arms.

But you know what? Life doesn’t always follow that script. Sure, I’m a strong advocate for education – having those papers definitely gives you an edge. But let’s be real, having good grades and academic qualifications doesn’t always lead to a smooth road to success. Look around, and you’ll see the harsh reality of unemployment and wasted potential out there.

Some people argue that being street smart is the way to go, but seriously, how do you carry through to completion the idea without some capital in hand or some connection? Most of us start with a job, right? And even being academically smart doesn’t guarantee that you’ll be street smart or successful in business. It’s a whole different ballgame.

Let’s address the elephant in the room – unemployment. It’s been on the rise, and it’s heartbreaking to see so many young graduates struggling to find jobs. Education was supposed to be the great equalizer, but it seems like it’s not working as smoothly as we hoped.

I’ve heard stories of depression and desperation stemming from that frustration. It’s sad to see all those years spent in school seemingly wasted, with no clear path ahead. It makes you wonder, is it all worth it in the end?

With the increasing rate of unemployment and the soaring cost of living, it’s easy to feel like getting a degree is just a one-way ticket to misery. But you know what? I don’t believe that’s entirely true. I think there are solutions out there if we’re willing to put our heads together and make some changes.

We need well-thought-out and practical strategies to address this problem. Not just random money-grabbing schemes that don’t consider the real issues at hand. Let’s involve the experts and the affected individuals in creating these strategies. Pilot them, see the results, and make improvements based on the outcomes. Let’s be inclusive and relevant in our hiring processes. It’s unfair to reject a qualified candidate just because of something unrelated to the job.

We didn’t sign up for this level of frustration and disappointment. Sure, it might not be anyone’s sole responsibility, but that doesn’t mean we can’t do something about it. It’s time to take action, be proactive, and find real solutions.

So, yes, education is valuable, but it’s time to rethink our approach and consider the changing landscape of employment. We can turn this crisis around with collective effort and the willingness to make meaningful changes. Let’s not allow our dreams to be shattered in a sea of unemployment. We’re better than that, and together, we can create a brighter future for all.

Have you ever thought about the immense potential that lies within the realm of customer service? I must admit, I used to view it as a mundane task, a waste of intelligence. However, my perspective took a complete turn when I realized that customer service is not just about answering inquiries or resolving complaints. It’s an incredible opportunity to offer assistance and gather valuable feedback from customers, both before and after they experience a product or service. In my unbiased opinion, customer service is not only a crucial element of Public Relations, but it also plays a vital role in shaping an organization’s image and driving improvement.

Let’s be honest, customer service often receives little respect. Yet, it holds the power to transform our thinking and business approaches. As customer service agents interact with customers, they gain valuable insights and ideas that not only benefit the organization but also broaden their own perspective on business strategies. It becomes the backbone of a business, serving as the direct link between the company and its customers. It has the power to make or break a business—ever heard people talking about how terrible a company’s customer service is? That negative perception can seriously hinder a company’s growth. Every comment and feedback should be taken seriously because they hold the potential for change.

As a professional in Public Relations and Corporate Communications, I firmly believe in corporate professionalism and integrity. I hold an unwavering stance that every organization should prioritize the establishment of a professional, sustainable, and well-planned customer service department. This extends beyond call center agents to include sales representatives on the ground. Achieving this requires proper training and a quality assurance process built on integrity.

Moreover, it is crucial to lend a listening ear to customer service agents and implement their productive suggestions. Ultimately, a well-structured and feedback-oriented customer service strategy benefits the organization by maximizing profits. Yes, you read that right—customer service is income generating! We’ll dive deeper into this aspect in future discussions.

In conclusion, I strongly advocate for the recognition of customer service as a career of high status and priority. The personnel hired for customer service roles should possess character traits that embrace empathy, patience, and exceptional communication skills. Additionally, there should be standardized metrics in place to ensure that customer service delivers real value to the organization.

So, let’s unleash the power of customer service and witness its diverse contributions to the growth of organizations. It’s time to embrace this essential component and pave the way for business success through exceptional customer experiences and feedback-driven improvements.

Let’s dive into the topic of romantic love, shall we? I like to describe love as a bittersweet experience. It starts off as a ray of sunshine, radiating warmth and energy into our lives. But it’s funny how love can switch on and off like a faucet, and sometimes it can even feel like a grave mental disease. Love, to me, is a perfect oxymoron—a strange and phenomenal concept.

My perspective might seem a little unusual, shaped by the darker side of relationships. I’ve witnessed what people do in the name of love, and the fear of not being reciprocated, of pouring your energy into someone who may not hold onto it. That’s why I believe that love can happen without attachment and all those abnormal and bizarre behaviours associated with commitment and consistency. I mean, think about it—why should we go through all that pain and suffering just because someone doesn’t love us back? It’s a losing game. There’s no point in doing your part and then the other person decides to call it quits with no reason. At that point, you become a victim, as good as someone in endless therapy sessions battling depression.

Can you imagine being depressed because of someone who doesn’t even care about you anymore? It’s messed up! They’ve moved on and probably don’t even remember a single thing about you. It’s not right to suffer in the name of love. I believe it’s important to heal as quickly as possible and move on after a breakup. I’ve been a victim of such toxic situations myself, going through stupid and unexplainable circumstances that I wouldn’t wish upon anyone. It’s just not fair to fall into depression because we loved blindly. We need to let go and move forward. It’s healthier that way!

Now, don’t get me wrong. I am a firm believer in love. I believe it exists, but it can only work between people who naturally sync. Love should never be forced or labelled just for the sake of it. It’s not about all those things we see on social media that we try to copy and paste into our lives. Love is natural, and when it’s natural, it’s incredibly hard to stop. So, here’s my takeaway: don’t lose yourself or sacrifice your well-being because of love. Love should make us happy, not feel like a never-ending dull day. Love should be cherished and experienced with keenness.

In the end, love is a complex journey, but it’s one worth taking. It’s about finding that special connection with someone who brings joy to our lives. And if we ever find ourselves in a situation where love turns sour, remember that it’s okay to let go and move on. After all, life is too short to be weighed down by the past. So, let’s embrace love with open hearts and keen minds, and remember to prioritize our own happiness along the way.

In the bustling crowd of the City,
There was a girl whose beauty was undeniable,
With delicate features, radiant eyes and a smile that could light up the darkest corners,
She possessed an ethereal allure that captivated anyone who laid eyes upon her,
Her hair flowing like silk in cascading waves, framed her face like a halo, further enhancing her enchanting beauty!

Yet, despite her captivating beauty,
Her life was entangled in the shame of gold-digging and the web of lies,
Fabricating stories and exaggerating her circumstances to elicit sympathy and financial support,
Her lies extended beyond material gain, manipulating emotions and relationships to serve her own interests,
Beauty Wasted in Lies !

She manipulated her attractive physical appearance to her advantage,
Using her beauty and charisma to extract what she desires,
Her true character masked by a superficial charm, making it difficult for others to see through her facade,
She lacked genuine empathy and disregarded the well-being of others as long as her own desires were filled,
Beauty Wasted in Lies !

Despite her outward beauty,
Her inner ugliness tarnished her reputation,
Her behavior ultimately led to broken trust and damaged relationships,
As her manipulative nature became apparent over time.

It’s like he has the magnetic presence that draws people in,
Carrying himself with confidence and poise,

But what’s more impressive is that he’s not just looks, he’s got substance too…

Look how beautiful,
Intelligent and well-spoken,
Effortlessly holding his own in discussions,
Not just a pretty face, he’s got depth and substance…

Look how beautiful,
His warm and Charismatic personality setting him apart,
Friendly approachable and always ready to smile,
Owning a seamless illustration of high character,
Knowing how to make people feel comfortable and valuable,
His genuine interest in others shining through his interactions,
Extremely Beautiful!

Nestled amidst the bustling heart of Nairobi’s vibrant soul,
Lies the Lucky Summer Estate, where stories unfold.
A patchwork of dreams and modest hopes,
This middle-class settlement, where life copes.

Like a mosaic of colors, mismatched and untamed,
Homes stand tall, though not quite the same.
Walls weathered by time’s gentle caress,
Each crack and crevice holding secrets, no less.

The streets wind and weave, with no rhyme or reason,
Paths meandering through each fleeting season.
Dusty footprints dance upon the earth,
Telling tales of resilience and humble birth.

Here, the sun paints the sky in vibrant hues,
Casting golden kisses on worn-out avenues.
Children play with laughter, barefoot and free,
Their giggles echoing through this community.

Yet, Lucky Summer bears its share of flaws,
With its flawsomeness, and all its open jaws.
The roofs, like weary sentinels, sag with the weight,
Of raindrops that sneak inside, challenging fate.

Potholes mark the roads, like craters on the moon,
Testing drivers’ skill to dodge and swoon.
But life moves forward, undeterred by such strife,
A dance of survival, in this maze called life.

Amidst the chaos, there’s a sense of unity,
Neighbors lending hands, forming a trinity.
Sharing stories and meals, an extended kin,
In this vibrant tapestry, they find solace within.

The spirit of resilience pervades the air,
Through each hardship faced with unwavering flair.
They bloom like wildflowers against all odds,
Defying limitations, embracing the demigods.

Lucky Summer Estate, imperfect but real,
A tapestry woven with both pain and zeal.
In its rough edges and imperfections lie,
The essence of a community that dares to try.

For in this humble settlement, there is grace,
Where dreams blossom and struggles embrace.
Lucky Summer, a flawed masterpiece, stands tall,
A testament to the human spirit’s enthralling call.

Something must kill a man,
Mine was a 10,
Made specifically to fit my prescription,
Petite and in the appropriate places meaty,
Having an attractive face, perfectly positioned on a narrow neck
With a very polished and worldly forehead,
Noticeable eyes,
An aligned nose,
Ever cheerful cheeks
An evenly shaped jawline,
A fine chin,
Ears, corresponding in size, Well placed!
And Perfectly even lips
Beautiful !

Very pleasing to look at,
She was wearing a sleek red dress,
Fine, to get her contours just perfect,
She strolled calmly to the bus stop, her immaculate appearance catching my thirsty eyes.

I kept glancing behind
She was the type of girl I had always imagined in my dreams: picture-perfect, in control of nothing but her looks, and a masterpiece created by God,
Taking pleasure in beauty that would calm a roaring lion
Looks that would fulfill a hyena’s appetite
She was so stunning that it made me fearful and insecure at the same time,
She was the very definition of beauty!

Dear Monday:
I am aware of how both wonderful and awful you are,
I know how your brother Sunday would have treated a drinker and a believer,
I’ve experienced both spiritual sustenance and booze hangovers,
And I can see how you completely represent mixed emotions.

I understand how chaotic and crazy your mornings may be, with everything from traffic to chaos to fresh perspectives and to fresh starts.
I realize how pleasant your evenings are.
Full of comfort and relaxation…

Dear Monday:
I recognize that you are misunderstood, but I hold the view that you should be optional.
Or perhaps a weekend extension to treat alcohol and spiritual hangovers,
A day off from work to rest and gather one’s thought
A day that promotes productivity,
A day to let it all out, to imagine a successfull week, to predict how the week will go, but not a day to start off the week
Hey Monday, I think you ought to be more intriguing than you are…

Sunshine,
You are a sunrise,
If a star should rise instead of the sun,
You are a moonrise,
If a star should come in place of a moon,
You are a spring
If a face should bloom Instead of an apple- bough
You are the best…

Sushine,
When my heart is shattered,
Even when I am pained and hurting,
I still manage to smile at your thought,
At all stupid things I can do for you,
At the Ignorance I can force myself into for you
Because my heart somehow cannot let you go,
Even when it’s obvious, I am not yours and you ain’t mine
Maybe because the best is to be…

Sunshine,
The star around which my continuace revolves,
The precious go- between in my book of life,
The songster of my silence,
My favorite place in Minneapolis.

Sunshine,
Very pleasing to look at, with a character worth an arm and a leg,
Bold, again timid,
Precisely of the very best kind…

Sunshine,
The music to my soul,
Possessing a voice that frees me from all weight and pain,
A flower to which I am the bee
My feeling of ease from grief,
Exactly the freedom from pain,
A song to my aching ear.

Sunshine,
Your beauty ain’t questionable,
Flawless, well created then jacketed with the capacity for feeling for another’s unhappiness.
A letter-perfect character !

Sunshine,
I fall short of words,
Everything about you feels good,
More; your presence frees me from all shadows of sorrow, cheerful and dispelling all gloom,
You are a trophy, an agreeable and pleasing object to possess !

I saw the beauty in her unsightly face
The prettiness in her oversize eyes
I discovered with my eyes the scars on her body, I loved them but it is possible I hated the stories they told.
I saw spotlessness in her soiled and stained wears,
The handcraft and unit of decoration in her slashed threads was just wonderful.
I saw potentiality and worth in her poverty-stricken standing
I saw trim on her upside-down and disordered floor
I saw manna in her not free from dirt and weighty sack
I saw an outstanding example of its kind, God’s flawless piece of craft !
