My first suggestion is that you get a jegna. If you have never read Mwalimu K.
Bomani Baruti’s book Homosexuality and the Effeminization of Afrikan Males, you
may not understand that a jegna is one that demonstrates fearlessness; has
courage to protect their people, culture, and way of life; one who has been tested
in struggle or battle; one who has shown diligence and dedication to our people;
produced an exceptionally high quality of work, and; dedicated themselves to the
protection, defense, nurturance and development of our young by advancing our
people, place and culture.
So, the need for a mentor should be replaced by a jegna. You should know what
you want to achieve and be honest with yourself. In addition, you should decide to
educate yourself. You do not need a degree or certificate, if your vision of
employment or business does not require it. In addition, the idea of trading your
limited time for a percentage of the money that you help someone´s company to
earn is foolish. You can rightfully put that time into yourself and create a passive
income.
Learn to focus on your net worth. It doesn’t matter if your friends earn more
money. It is more important that you are able to invest in your dreams and ideas
and eventully make investments that make your life easier. So, by investing in self,
you will create value and determine your own worth. This way, it is easier to
promote yourself and market your abilities. The idea of only working and saving,
working and slaving is dated.
As Neo is introduced to The Oracle she is found baking cookies in an average urban
apartment. She is a mature and attractive woman. Her appearance manages to be
both unsettling and comforting. It is comforting because she is a motherly figure in
the kitchen baking cookies. Whether or not you would have confidence in her
words in her abilities or wisdom is debatable.
The Oracle: I'd ask you to sit down, but you're not going to anyway. And don't
worry about the vase.
Neo: What vase?
[Neo knocks a vase to the floor]
The Oracle: That vase.
Neo: I'm sorry.
The Oracle: I said don't worry about it. I'll get one of my kids to fix it.
Neo: How did you know?
The Oracle: What's really going to bake your noodle later on is, would you still have
broken it if I hadn't said anything?
This would make him think or possibly confuse him. Neo was being guided by The
Oracle. She planted something in his mind and he immediately responded as she
expected.
The Oracle: You're cuter than I thought. I can see why she likes you.
Neo: Who?
The Oracle: Not too bright, though.
