Flavia Tumusiime has been running a series for 30 days where she documents details from her life, and career aimed at inspiring youngsters. We caught some of those rare quotes from each day.
1. “Even if you are at your last grain of strength, never show desperation. Be confident that the best asset is you and with that, you can acquire anything else.”
2. “Be good and respectful to everyone no matter how small or big, rich or poor, manager or cleaner, educated or not. You never know whose review of you will take you to your next opportunity. Your network is your net-worth.”
3. “People talk, and talk and talk some more, good or bad. Never build your success on peoples’ words or even break it because of their words.”
4. “Many times you will be put in an awkward position and forced to decide, am not saying step on heads to get to your destination, but am saying you won’t find a clean saintly path to success, we all step over someone once or twice in our road to success intentionally or unintentionally.”
5. “Dont let your personal issues with someone sip into how you relate with them professionally. Especially us women are emotional, we are quick to hate or swear we won’t work with so and so because I just don’t like her or him. Focus, don’t let petty excuses and feelings towards someone slow you down.”
6. “All of us have to grow up, it doesn’t have to be career wise, at least as a person, you can’t be the same teenager even when you hit 30. You have to mature even in thoughts and plan for your life.”
7. “Life is full of surprises, don’t think that existing above others is ever a good thing. Be good to people, it takes nothing from you.”
8. “Envy and jealousy only drag you back. No matter how bad your situation is, you have your own time coming and your own happy days, don’t try to poke someone’s joy to please your unhappiness.”
9. “It doesn’t matter how educated you are, how much money you have, how many people you know or how famous you are; if you don’t know your role and definition as a woman and respect yourself and those in your life, you will look for respect with your money and education you will never have it.”
10. “You must be the kind of friend you want to have. If you are a bad and disloyal friend, it’s hard to expect any better.”
11. “Many of us want success but we don’t really want the hard work and sacrifice that comes with it.”
12. “Don’t be ashamed of your background to the point where you lose who you are.”
13. “We all believe in something or someone. Some say Allah, God, Jehovah and well honestly some people believe in themselves, that’s okay too. Because faith to me, starts with believing in yourself, that you are great and that you are worth every good that happens to you and that you deserve all the things and people in your life.”
14. “Your actions could incite a reaction you are not prepared for so be careful how you relate towards strangers, be sure of the signals you are sending out.”
15. “You have to choose depending on where you want to be in life, it’s easier to be in the comfort zone and I am a victim of this sometimes. But are you the kind that watches others do more and achieve more? Or you would rather be the one doing more and achieving more?
