Benedicto Bena Nkhoma- Inspirational and Motivational Really??
BENEDICTO NKHOMA POSTED THIS QUESTION
"You are 25 years old and receive K1 billion today.
What is the first thing you do with it?"
MY VIEWS
Ase if your mission is to inspire people, why ask them what they would do with K1 billion they have magically received instead of asking them how they would earn their first K1 million?
A motivational speaker is supposed to bridge the gap between dreams and reality. But when the conversation begins with imaginary billions, are we motivating people or entertaining their fantasies? Simukutithandiza.
People in Malawi are battling unemployment, limited opportunities, and economic hardship.
They do not need lessons in spending money they do not have. They need lessons in creating value, building skills, starting businesses, solving problems, and generating wealth.
The easiest thing in the world is to imagine receiving K1 billion. The hardest thing is to explain the process of creating wealth from nothing.
As an inspiration speaker, should you not be asking: "What skill can earn you your first K100,000?"What problem can you solve in your community?"
"What business can you start with the little you already have?"
Those questions may not go viral as quickly, but they have the power to change lives.
Motivation becomes dangerous when it sells the destination without discussing the journey. It creates dreamers who can describe their future mansions in detail but can not explain the first step toward building them.
The role of an inspirational leader is not to help people escape reality for a few minutes. It is to help them confront reality and win.
Because success is not found in imaginary billions. Success is found in the daily discipline that turns a dream into reality.
