“Stop seeing a bag of cement in every money you make, “is a common saying about life in Uganda. We are not here to discuss its validity, but Pastor Edwin Musiime, the CEO of Crest Group, has some advice for the male youths about the same.
According to Musiime, if someone has not yet built a house, he shouldn’t engage in the talk of “don’t see a bag of cement in every cent you get”.
“In fact to all men, for every plate of food you spend on a woman, learn to see a bag of cement in it,” says Musiime.
The pastor-turned-businessman explains that the pressure of being successful is more on men than women.
“If you don’t know what you want, you should at least know what you don’t want because the choices we make in life have consequences,” Musiime says.
He adds, “Growth is not all about aging, but it requires maturity.”
He further advises men to try not to get into debt for the sake of pleasing women.
