I like to meet people who inspire me..
One of them is Abraham, in the HR department of Jumia.
I messaged him a while back via LinkedIn and asked if there were any available positions in the HR department and he said the was only a vacancy for an intern and I went for an interview.
That day on my way for the interview, I witnessed some lady get crushed by a vehicle on Ikorodu road. I was mortified and then began to reflect on my life. It could have been anyone I said.. What if she was going to work? Or had an interview like me?
Anyways not to digress, lol, I wasn't feeling so up to the interview, I even got there late, in my mind I was like 'oh well what ever happens happens'. Then I got to meet him, honestly I'll rate myself a 3 for that interview because I didn't even try to impress. *covers face*
But the reason for this post is the young man who interviewed me.. He said somethings about his personality that gave me a whole perspective on who I want to be.

But the reason for this post is the young man who interviewed me.. He said somethings about his personality that gave me a whole perspective on who I want to be.
Firstly, he said he's the only one who could diffuse any controversy between anyone in his organization with a conversation.. (I was like woww in my mind, but I just kept a straight face, lol). Then he said he can find anyone, anywhere, even within a short time of space..
Thirdly, he reads a hundred books every year.. I literally tried to calculate how many I read (I love to read) a year and I don't think it was hundred, lol, and here is a 'man', who has a job, (very busy one at that, because he gets to meet and hire people on the regular) and also keep up with his social life.
Then he writes a blog, and this is what got me.. He said in order to keep up with his blog he has to post EVERYDAY. And this requires discipline, I can't remember the exact figure of days he used but he has been posting ever since he started.
Also he said he is good at what he does.
He thought me that discipline is important not just for writing or reading, but for every aspect of life, and you must know what you want AND be good at it, preferably than 95% of people who can do what you can..
Even though I didn't get the job, he has inspired me.. And I hope this also inspires you.
