I didn’t realize how much times have changed until last week when my toddler said, “Daddy, you are shouting at me; you’re shouting in my ears” (while actually pointing at his ears). I stood still for a few seconds in amazement, wondering whether those words came from him or if there was a voice somewhere else in the room.

After regaining my composure, I began to grapple with the dilemma of whether I should discipline him or simply hold my peace. I weighed the pros and cons. Yes, I had raised my voice, and I could have communicated the message without doing so. But, should he have responded that way? And if I disciplined him for it, would I be stifling his self-expression? These questions raced through my mind in those few seconds, and I ultimately decided to mildly scold him and explain that I had raised my voice because he wasn’t listening.

This experience highlighted just how different the Alpha generation is, even compared to Gen Z. So, if you’re already struggling to understand Gen Z, brace yourself for the Alpha Generation. As they say in my native language, “Ee ti ri nkankan” (you haven’t seen anything yet).

What has your experience been like?

Take care, and have a wonderful day.

Do not stereotype others based on myths or societal biases, form your own opinion, and do so per person.

We give comfort from the comfort wherewith we have been comforted, so our travails are not in vain.

You are not here to please everyone, but to fulfill a purpose, so stop trying to be everything to everyone.

Missteps often signal a change of course; do not miss the cues when life shows you the signs.

You may not always get it right, but you will always gain wisdom through the experience.

Sometimes, you speak to silence your adversaries, and sometimes your silence speaks louder than words.

Don’t judge others because you think they are vain; we wear different hats and operate in different contexts.

There are two moments in everyone’s life when your thoughts or preferences do not matter: at conception and at death.

Regarding the former, you had no say in your gender, race, tribe, family, or religion. You were born into your family, religion, or nation without any contribution from you.

It amazes me, then, that we discriminate based on gender, tribe, or religion when we could have been born into someone else’s family, tribe, or religion.

We stereotype and label certain tribes when it could just as easily have been us. We build unnecessary walls and barriers due to tribal or religious sentiments. Many wars have been sparked by tribal conflicts, and entire nations have been destroyed due to religious tensions.

The same color of blood flows in all our veins, yet we still consider some superior to others. And yet, at death, our bodies will undergo the same process of decomposition, regardless of color or background.

So, let us focus less on the physical attributes, religious beliefs, or tribal origins of others and more on the person within.

Take care, and have a wonderful day.
