THE Mutapa Investment Fund (MIF) Chief Executive Officer, John Mangudya has implored students to step out of the comfort zones and think beyond quick wins if they are to attain post tertiary college success.
He made the remarks recently while speaking to students at the Africa University (AU) at an event organised by the institution’s Career Advisory and Professional Development Office in conjunction with the Student Representative Council (SRC).
The discussions were held under the “Brown Bag Series” featuring distinguished expert presenters from across the continent to share their insights on specific industry needs and career pathways in today’s dynamic economic landscape.
“As students, you represent the future and the next generation of innovative builders tasked with the duty of creating wealth for the good of mankind. You therefore carry the responsibility to embrace adaptability and agility in your journey toward impactful careers.
“Lessons from people like the US business magnate Warren Buffett, confers upon us the qualities of patience and humility as key ingredients in one’s journey up the career ladder,” he said.
Mangudya underscored the need to treasure humble beginnings in one’s career journey and highlighted that success will never come by for as long as the youngsters enjoy the slumber of their comfort zones.
“You must also work towards living below your means if you are serious about protecting your future. The other important attribute is to diversify your income streams and avoiding overdependence on one income source. Growth demands the courage to embrace discomfort and to move intentionally from being mere consumers to becoming producers and problem-solvers,” he said.
The immediate past governor of the Reserve Bank of Zimbabwe (RBZ) challenged students to keep their heads above the waters in life’s difficult moments guided by resilience, long term vision and consistency as opposed directionless speed.
Over the years, Mangudya has maintained close ties with AU in his capacity as Board Member and guest lecturer for the institution’s College of Business and Management Sciences.
