Poet: Your talent can employ you
By Isdory Njavike, Dar es Salaam
A budding poet and author, Aisha Kingu, said in Dar es Salaam she believes many people have undeveloped that are likely employ them if those talents are developed.
Aisha, who launched her book entitled Poetry Rebirth in the city, said she believed many people’s talents remained undeveloped, adding that if young people recognized their talents and let them developed they would employ themselves.
“Writing poetry has been my burning passion. I have written numerous poems. Those who have come across them told me I have a talent to nurture. I have continued to write poems and this has exposed me to hidden opportunities. Opportunities are a source of employment and honour,” she argued. The book she launched has 101 poems.
Aisha has written poems about retired President Jakaya Kikwete and on other subject. As a result of the poems she wrote she met Russian President Vladimir Putin and British Queen Elizabeth.
She said she held a lunch function in the city in order to get a forum she could use to address Tanzanian youths and tell them that if they developed their talents those talents would reward them handsomely and possibly employ them.
The father of the poet, Dr Kingu Mtemi, said because their daughter was doing well in science subjects parents thought she would study medicine and make a doctor. “We tried hard to convince her to join
the medicine profession but all was in vain. This struggle gave me good lessons. Parents should encourage their children to develop their internal urges not otherwise,” he said.
Mr Musa Makange who attended the launch said he shared Aisha’s argument that one’s talent was one’s biggest tool in looking for employment.
