The Sky Is Below Your Limit

Introduction

"The parents ate the sour grapes,

But the children got the sour taste."

It is an old and outdated biblical proverb. We love blaming other people for our miseries. We do not accept that we are part of the causes of our problems. We love looking up to other people to solve our problems.

This is bad mentality. It is negative attitude, mindset which we must change.

We were sent to school. We studied subjects which we hoped would give us jobs. We faithfully received an education. We knew the education would give us employment. We looked forward to seeing ourselves in offices and earning a lot of money that would enable us buy nice cars, live in beautiful houses and dress in fashionable clothes. We believed we would be eating what we want and not what is available.

Some of us studied Business Education. We longed for the day we would have business of our own. Even people who never turned a page in a book in Business Education shared with us dreams of owning their own businesses. They had succeeded and they gave us a heart that we would be more successful now that we armed with the Business Education and even Accounting, both of which they did not have.

Dreams aside, a good education is that which gives recipients opportunities for job creation. It should be an education that has a golden key that can open more than one door to success.

We have that golden key that can open success doors, one door after another. The big problem we have to solve first and fast is our negative attitude. We must first and fast change our mindset.

We are young. If God blesses us we shall live to old age. Shall we continue to live and think the way our forefathers lived and thought? In the olden days, our fathers left home and went away to look for employment. Our mothers were housewives. Their dreams had been to get married and bear children. These parents of ours had little or no education compared to us. We have more education but we sit at home and demand that our parents look for jobs for us. We complain, My parents have refused to look for a job for me.

Time has come for us to get out of our idiocy and mediocrity. We are not ashamed of begging all the time and even pestering everyone to offer us some credit for our cell phones. We should be ashamed of complaining and blaming other people for our problems. We give 2012 reasons as to why we can’t and never a single one as to why we can.

Tecla Jemuge Yator Spirulina reached Standard Eight and is a wonderful trainer. Her experience of using of products and attending meetings and seminar s has developed her into a performer in network marketing. Those who know her are very proud of her and what potential that is in each one of us.

Joseph Otieno Pesah was a shoe repairer at Mbale, Maragoli up to 2004 when Richard Magut introduced him to network marketing. Out of the network marketing by 2008 he had travelled to China and had been awarded a brand new BMW car. Today I travel with Europeans who think I am a professor ---- and when some of you are approached you say you can’t do network marketing. ---- I don’t know whether you are generic or original? But I know God does not create generics; He creates originals.

Judy Jebichii Ng’etich Beauty Face and Esther Jebichii Sumukwo are doing well in network marketing. One day they will be where former South Africa President Nelson Mandela Madiba wants people to be. He said, There is no passion to be found playing small – in settling for a life that is less that the one you are capable of living. And, Your playing small does not serve the world. Who are you not to be great?

But some of us, with big education, have diplomas and degrees, but we are sitting on them and blaming the government, members of parliament, councilors, our relatives and our parents, that they have refused to help us get jobs. We blame the system of education, yet it is a very innocent system of education. Let’s blame our mindset as we sample the following.

An Agriculture degree holder roams around looking for a job and sits idle yet the father has an idle piece of land that extends even up to an all season river. What do you think is wrong with such a person’s attitude?

In this age and time we have qualified graduates in Education, Business Education, Business Administration, Commerce, Marketing, Salesmanship and Public Relations. These are very powerful degrees in the world of business. Who said they cannot work in network marketing for any person with a dream or dreams that they really want to achieve?

Can’t we be shocked to learn that even with these powerful qualifications we are poor and we believe we cannot do network marketing?

We believe we can only sell mitumba clothes to make money.

We blame poverty. We say we are unable to do network marketing because we have no money.

We don’t know how we can do network marketing without money. But we cannot know that because we don’t attend trainings. We still want to blame lack of time, yet we are busy being broke.

Time has come for us to change. But no one can force us to change. We must change ourselves.

We cover in wet blankets and hope to sleep. We are waiting to go to colleges and universities where we shall pay a lot of money to get another certificate to help us look for jobs. We don’t see anything in network marketing and even when we take a course in network marketing, we still will wait idly and go out looking for jobs.

One day we shall run after network marketers on our knees begging to be recruited. Although they will welcome us, we shall have lost something big.

Chapter One

Success

If there were successful teachers, Mrs Daisy Kagasa Okiya was one of them. They were there. But they were very, very, very few. Many teachers thought they were successful. These were men and women, fathers and mothers, who hated teaching. They were in teaching by chance not by passion. They even hated students. But they had managed to buy cars and had houses. They had electricity and piped water. Some of their sons and daughters were taking parallel degree courses at university. Their children learnt in private academies. They had layers projects. They were successful. So they thought.

Mrs Daisy Kagasa Okiya was a successful teacher. She loved teaching and she loved students. She was more successful because of something else. She was not a slave. She was free. She was independent. She had broken the chains of worshipping employment. But she was an employee. Unlike other successful teachers she was faithful to her clients. Other successful teachers were faithful to their employer. She had something else that she did. Yet she was faithful. She beat the logic that said you cannot serve two masters; you will hate one and love the other. She loved both.

Other successful teachers succeeded because they stole from their clients. They were unfaithful to their clients. They went to class late. They were absent. All this in the name of attending to their other business but records showed that they were perfect. But record or no record, Mrs Daisy Kagasa Okiya was perfect. She did her preventive health care network marketing business part-time. She never interfered with her occupation.

In five years of her marriage she had had three children two daughters and a son. The son was the second born. But there was no day she took an off to go the clinic. She taught all her days. Her children were healthy. She thanked Calcium III for Children. It kept away common diseases in children. That was success.

Mrs Daisy Kagasa Okiya was more successful. She helped many people change their lives. Her other activity a part from teaching benefited other people. She had money and they made money out of it. She maintained her health and they maintained their health out of it. She restored health of many out of it. She loved it. And that was success. She made friends. She loved people. And people loved to be with her. All this happened out of the business of loving people. She used to say, I’ll be very happy when I die of old age and see that I managed to make so many people love me.

If people achieve their dreams, Mrs Daisy Kagasa Okiya is one of the few that achieve their dreams. Having met Moris Saidia Adam was a godsend opportunity for her to achieve her dream. And what did she do to achieve not her dream but her dreams?

When you asked her what she did to achieve not a dream but dreams, she replied with joy, I sought happiness. I got happiness.

Does it mean happiness brings success? one of her students once asked her.

Oh, yes, she replied, excited. Oh, yes oh, yes. Happiness is the source of success. Not the other way round, the way most people tend to think. You can have all the big cars. You can have all the luxury mansions. You can have all that you want to but that doesn’t guarantee you happiness. It can only generate joy, but not happiness. Happiness is love. If you love you get all that you want.

Mrs Daisy Kagasa Okiya taught the education for employment that the
