Kuna seminar moja nimeattend hapa mjini nikamkuta huyu kijana kaalikwa akaongea kwa kiasi chake tena kwa confidence ikabidi nimsearch gooogle ndo nikakutana na haya..
alivooongea tu nkaona kitu kimoja Kwanini vijana wa Kitanzania tunapenda ujiko kuliko kazi, ni shida sana kwetu. Huyu jamaa aliongea kidogo nikanote hicho, Sidhani kabisa kama ni Mtanzania wa kwanza kusoma Harvard maana mtoto wa karamagi anasoma Harvard na kuna watanzania kibao hapo...Harvard, Princenton na Standford kuna mwaka nilikaribishwa na waTanzanzania wa Princeton nilivoenda kuattend seminar flani kikazi.. na ukisoma hizo shule unapewa internship kwenye kampuni za alumni ambae Gates ni Alumni... Pia ukipewa scholarship yeyote ya marekani na state lazima urudi Tanzania miaka miwili kuimplement ulichojifunza...ila maujiko ya huyu kaka sio ya dunia hiii sio kitu cha kutamba kwamba umemaliza harvard stanford...SO what? Mimi kama mtanzania nanufaika nini na hilo? wapo watu wamesoma no. 1 engineering college in the world na kazi mpaka leo hawana.
Sasa na kama Benja na entrepreneurship skills training anafanya..sasa unamtrain nani na wewe entrepreneurship bado hujaingia?
Vijana wa kitanzania mliofika mbali inabidi muwe makini sana na matendo yenu msitumie kupotosha watu au kuuza sura. Taifa linawategemea. Kama Benja yuko very smart am sure anaweza anzisha kitu kuajiri vijana na kuwamotivate au kusolve tatizo la ajira. Hampewi scholarship au hampelekwi kusoma ili mrudi kusema mlisoma, mnapelekwa mrudi mlete mambo mapya mfungue biashara msaidie jamii zinazowazunguka, leteni maendeleo jamani fungueni dunia kwa vijana wenzenu. Muwe mifano.. haitoshi kwamba mlisoma..tumieni elimu yenu... hata kwenye ajira.
