So much lessons here! This reminds me of so many things and lessons I have neglected. Even in the littlest job, there are great lessons to be learnt. "Hard work will not kill you" I love this so much Simi Abok

We are shaped by all our experiences. The first job I had and held for a long time (from age 10-20) was sales manager in my father’s shop. You won’t find it in my CV but I can tell you that job built me into the resilient person I am today.

These are beautiful lessons, I have also learned from them. It also reminds me of one important lesson I learnt, which is to be fun and be ready to infuse humour while dealing with people, I learnt this while working as a POS attendant and it made my work easy, it lightens up the person and creates a good connection. Have a wonderful week ahead Simi Abok
