You know how sometimes life just humbles you? Well, George Ruto, the son of the President, recently sat down with Young Millionaire Talks and told a story that many Kenyans can relate to. He said there was a time in his past when things were so tight that he couldn't even buy data bundles for his phone. Yes, data bundles. That small thing we sometimes take for granted.
According to George, who is an actuarial science graduate and also a businessman, hard financial times are not a respecter of anybody. It doesn't matter whether you come from a powerful family or you carry a big surname. Life can still squeeze you until you feel it. He said everybody, at some point, goes through that season where money is just not there.
But here is the interesting part. George didn't just complain about those tough moments. Instead, he said they are actually valuable opportunities. You see, when you are struggling, life forces you to slow down. You stop rushing, you start reflecting, and that is when real personal growth happens. He believes those hard times are not just there to punish you. They are there to teach you something.
So next time you are down to your last shilling or you cannot buy that 20 bob bundle, just remember what George Ruto said. Even the people you think have it all have tasted that same struggle. The difference is how you use that moment. Do you just suffer, or do you learn and grow? The choice is yours.
