8. Paradoxes
Millennials’ own View
“It is no wonder that
these men, the so-called
MILLENNIALS, are a
bunch of emotional
wrecks. They think the
world owes them
niceties when in trouble”.
Njoki Chege, Columnist
Other Generations’ View
“The doctors’ strike has been
handled poorly from the
outset. An ARROGANT
GOVERNMENT and a RIGID
UNION have stuck on to their
puerile egos. Such is the
reward of having untested
and UNPROVEN YOUTH in
government and in the
unions. They lack the
temperament to deal with
heavy issues”. Barrack
Muluka – Media Consultant

9. Donald B. Kipkorir : Flamboyant city
lawyer
Bishop Allan Kiuna of Jubilee Christian
Church
Your social
media accounts
are your CV,
watch what you
post Wealth doesn’t
announce itself on
social media

10. Paradoxes … contd
I will commence my journey unencumbered with either the weight of
unnecessary knowledge or the handicap of meaningless
experience. Nature already has supplied me with knowledge and
instinct far greater than any beast in the forest and the value of
experience is overrated, usually by old men who nod wisely and
speak stupidly. In truth, experience teaches thoroughly yet her
course of instruction devours men’s years so the value of her
lessons diminishes with the time necessary to acquire her special
wisdom. The end finds it wasted on dead men. Furthermore,
experience is comparable to fashion; an action that proved
successful today will be unworkable and impractical tomorrow.
Only principles endure, these will Teach me more to prevent
failure than to gain success. Og Mandino
