Elecrama 2018 review by Aloyce Mkwizu.

I have never been there, that was the first though that came to my mind before i decided to visit the elecrama exhibition, since it is all seen from outside that it is the worlds largest exbihition  of everything electric. The experience i got today has changed all my perspective about electricity and technology at large.

I have been there and I know how it feels. More than 200 companies in one exhibition showing and trying to prove to the people that they can make the world a better place. Something that caught my attention are the companies which focus themselves in building of smart cities, cities which inside have no source of carbon dioxide or any other harmful gas. Their plan is very beautiful, inspiring and easy to understand.  One of them being SRI CITY.

Other companies that amazed me include fybros smart electrical creations that volcano Bluetooth speaker, Ozone bell and speaker, and the Asterix multi charging adaptor that I will provide their images below. These techs are very amazing.

I also got a chance to see big generators that can power up until a a small village of 100 houses. one of them is a Bio gas controlled and one was diesel controlled meaning that the bio gas one is more effective in areas with high population like schools of crowded towns and the diesel one elsewhere. This gives us an alternative source of energy other than hydroelectric power that can be used in developing countries especially in Africa where power supply has been a continuous problem.

This article would have been very long if I wrote everything that I saw in elecrama so other stuffs will be described by the images which will be embedded at the end of this article. But I won’t forgive myself if I won’t mention companies like panasonic  and tata group which had so much to show us.

Conclusively, it is a a call to developing countries especially in Africa to visit these types of exbihition and trying to cope with the speed of the advancement of science and technology for the betterment of the continent at large. I represent Tanzania.

50 STATEMENTS THAT CAN INSPIRE YOU TO BECOME AN ENTERPRENUER.

No one ever said it was easy being an entrepreneur. Whether you’re in the early stage of your start up, just secured funding for your startup or you are ready for product launch, there will always be those three components when you ask yourself if this whole entrepreneur thing is worth it. Instead of giving up and throwing-in the proverbial white towel, keep your head up and look to the following 50 quotes to inspire and motivate you during those tough patches.

1. “The critical ingredient is getting off your butt and doing something. It’s as simple as that. A lot of people have ideas, but there are few who decide to do something about them now. Not tomorrow. Not next week. But today, the true entrepreneur is a doer, not a dreamer.” 
2. “Do. Or do not. There is no try.” 
3. “To any entrepreneur: if you want to do it, do it now. If you don’t, you’re going to regret it.”
4. “It’s not about ideas. It’s about making ideas happen.”
5. “I’ve missed more than 9,000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times I’ve been trusted to take the game’s winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that’s why I succeed.”
6. “There’s nothing wrong with staying small. You can do big things with a small team.”
7. “Ideas are easy. Implementation is hard.”
8. “If you just work on stuff that you like and you’re passionate about, you don’t have to have a master plan with how things will play out.”
9. “The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now.”
10. “Never give in–never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force; never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.
11. “There’s lots of bad reasons to start a company. But there’s only one good, legitimate reason, and I think you know what it is: it’s to change the world.”
12. “The secret to successful hiring is this: look for the people who want to change the world.”
13. “The price of success is hard work, dedication to the job at hand, and the determination that whether we win or lose, we have applied the best of ourselves to the task at hand.”
14. “When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.” 
15. “If you’re not a risk taker, you should get the hell out of business.”
16. “Watch, listen, and learn. You can’t know it all yourself. Anyone who thinks they do is destined for mediocrity.”
17. “Always deliver more than expected.”
18. “Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn’t do than by the ones you did do, so throw off the bowlines, sail away from safe harbor, catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore, Dream, Discover.”
19. “You shouldn’t focus on why you can’t do something, which is what most people do. You should focus on why perhaps you can, and be one of the exceptions.”
20. “A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.”
21. “Risk more than others think is safe. Dream more than others think is practical.”
22. “I’m convinced that about half of what separates the successful entrepreneurs from the non-successful ones is pure perseverance.”
23. “Be undeniably good. No marketing effort or social media buzzword can be a substitute for that.”
24. “The way to get started is to quit talking and begin doing.”
25. “You miss 100 percent of the shots you don’t take.”
26. “Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.”
27. “It’s almost always harder to raise capital than you thought it would be, and it always takes longer. So plan for that.”
28. “If you don’t know what to do with your life, do something that saves lives. The world is full of people in need, be the part of their life that fills that need.”
29. “It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.”
30. “I hate how many people think, “glass half-empty” when their glass is really four-fifths full. I’m grateful when I have one drop in the glass because I know exactly what to do with it.”
31. “It’s hard to beat a person who never gives up.”
32. “For all of the most important things, the timing always sucks. Waiting for a good time to quit your job? The stars will never align and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn’t conspire against you, but it doesn’t go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. “Someday” is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro and con lists are just as bad. If it’s important to you and you want to do it “eventually,” just do it and correct course along the way.”
33. “Fail often so you can succeed sooner.”
34. “We are currently not planning on conquering the world.”
35. “Timing, perseverance, and ten years of trying will eventually make you look like an overnight success.”
36. “You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.” 
37. “The media wants overnight successes (so they have someone to tear down). Ignore them. Ignore the early adopter critics that never have enough to play with. Ignore your investors that want proven tactics and predictable instant results. Listen instead to your real customers, to your vision and make something for the long haul. Because that’s how long it’s going to take, guys.
38. “When you cease to dream you cease to live” 
39. “Don’t worry about funding if you don’t need it. Today it’s cheaper to start a business than ever.”
40. “If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.”
41. “Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning.”
42. “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.”
43. “Entrepreneurship is neither a science nor an art. It is a practice.”
44. “In the modern world of business, it is useless to be a creative, original thinker unless you can also sell what you create.”
45. “It doesn’t matter how many times you fail. It doesn’t matter how many times you almost get it right. No one is going to know or care about your failures, and neither should you. All you have to do is learn from them and those around you because all that matters in business is that you get it right once. Then everyone can tell you how lucky you are.”
46. “Success is how high you bounce after you hit bottom.”
47. “If you’re not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you’ve launched too late.”
48. “Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.”
49. “I’m not afraid of dying, I’m afraid of not trying.”
50. Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.

Bonus: You can say anything to anyone, but how you say it will determine how they will react

Use a few of these quotes for a mantra, carry a hard copy of this list in your pocket, but remember, you have to find inspiration where you can and be the inspiration for yourself.

Why the educated are so poor?

By: Aloyce Mkwizu

Most educated people in Africa are poor. Not just poor, but very Poor. Why?

Because 80% of the educated people in Africa earn less than 500 Usd for a salary before tax and other deductions. When the deductions are put into consideration, the net salary comes to around 350 Usd.

The net salary then suffers from loan deductions of up to 100 Usd leaving the salary at around 250 Usd. The landlord then demands for his 100 Usd and monthly shopping takes away 50 Usd leaving one with a 100 Usd. The bus will demand for 40 Usd going to and from work and relatives get another 20 Usd, Remaining 50 Usd can’t even take care of one kid in a nice private school, whole salary is gone and borrowed money starts operating. The borrowed money includes short loans and salary advances where by payment is up to 50% in interest.

The difference between poverty and prosperity is property. A prosperous person has property to his name while a poverty stricken person has no property to show. Using this understanding, therefore, most of the degree holders are poverty stricken, borrowing money to buy chicken and chips, pizza, buy expensive gadgets for show off and loaned cars to surprise their enemies.

The biggest excuse for getting paid such low amounts of money and having to sit and work for another person for 30 days in 30 years plus is THE DEGREE that one possesses and that’s all. This has made most of the degree holders very poor to poverty stricken and will die that way most likely. A degree holder does not know how to generate money unless that money is generated for the employer. A degree holder is so dependent on the salary that he can do anything to get a job but will not think of starting a business of his own to employ others. Employee is good but use it as a doorway into entrepreneurship. You are not good in business. Then build rental houses.

1.   A degree holder is not prepared to sell chips but is very happy to work in KFC, Java etc for hungry lion.

2.   A degree holder is not prepared to sell popcorn in the street but is very happy to work at Safaricom/ Airtel/ Supermarket outlet daily standing from 8:00 am to 6:00 pm going home with 100, 200 or 250 Usd per month.

3.   A degree holder is not prepared to sell second hand clothes but is very happy to be employed by an Asian selling same clothes.

4.   A degree holder is not prepared to make 100 Usd monthly doing his own business but is very happy to work at the till in a bank getting paid 400 Usd – 700 Usd while 50% of same cash go for Tax and Vat.

5.   A degree holder is not prepared to start a company and grow it in two to three years but will spend three years searching for a job.

6.   A degree holder is not prepared to sell food to students but will be happy to be reporting to a boss with no qualifications as long as he is paid 30,000 for a salary.

7.   A degree holder is so eager to get out of this country and work in another country than spend time to develop his own country.

8.   A degree holder staying in a foreign land  is very keen to condemn Africa but never contributing to the development of this country.

9.   An African degree holder would rather sweep the streets of London or USA than start a business and make money in Kenya – others work in people’s homes doing some work you can’t explain.

10. A degree holder in Africa will watch porn on his laptop but never to write a book using the same laptop to sell and make money.

11. A degree holder will blame the government for lack of jobs even after he was on government bursary for him to have his degree.

12. A degree holder will spent entire day betting rather than looking for proper way to grow their income.

13. Africa is blessed with people who have master’s degree and others are doctors in different technical fields such as IT and Engineering but all of them have failed to create a cartoon character and develop a movie from the same instead very happy to buy Tom and Jerry for their children thereby promoting America.

At the school I go to, there is a man that is of very humble background. He does not speak English but sells Coke, Fanta and Sprite at 0.35 Usd each making a profit of around 0.10 Usd on each drink. He also sells chips at 1 Usd making a profit of 0.30 Usd on each portion. Not less than 100 students buy chips and a drink every single day. This means he makes a profit of 0.40 Usd for a drink and chips and a total profit of 40 Usd per day…every single day. In ten days he makes a profit of 400 Usd, in twenty days 800 Usd and in thirty days 1200 Usd which means in a bad month he goes home with not less than 700 Usd.

The degree holder working in a bank at the till gets a salary of 50,000 every month.

Why are the degree holders poor?

Because they have decided to pride themselves in a degree and failed to think better than a man who does not have even a certificate to his name.

Degree holders spend their time liking articles on linkedIn and facebook but never have any care in the world to implement what they like. Poverty starts from the mind, a mind that just likes things but never to implement those things.

If you want to progress, throw away that degree and start thinking better than someone without a degree. Be prepared to get your hands dirty and work like an ox for your business. Your hard work will pay off.

Stop pride to eradicate poverty.
