Turning 24:Riding the "Guilt" Train
So I remind
myself, I've Just turned 24. Do I feel excited? Of course. But, to some extent
I equally feel scared. That feeling of falling behind on my life goals. It's
the overwhelming feeling of riding the "Guilt" Train. Do you feel it
too, friends?
"When I
stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a
single bit of talent left and could say, I used everything you gave me" -
Erma Bombeck said it.
To be honest,
reading that quote sure made my night long, as I pondered on my present self
last night. I was being reminded to look back for experience just as much as I
strongly desire looking into the future for inspiration.
When I think of
a 24 year old, I think of someone who should have their life all together. Or
perhaps, should at least be on their path of certainty. I am certainly not
feeling like I got it all together but definitely I am on the right path.
Well, this is
not to make me feel the pile of my own regrets, no! To the friends I have lost,
I do understand that some friends come and go (it's ok for me to free you).
However, I am also very confident that I'll not be taking the "guilt"
train any longer because I've decided to get myself back.
Wow,😕 birthdays sure can make me realize
just how slowly I've lost my "Child-like" wonder attitude. Growing up
back then, I had this great attitude of curiosity. I was too curious, I asked
questions, looked at the world full of wonder. And answers came to me with some
much ease. Somewhere, somehow I lost it but I want it back. I definitely need
to get back to the library. If not, I'll build my own book library in my
self-confused-room.
All in all, it's
been an exciting time. Just would like to say thanks to you all for the warm
birthday wishes. I am grateful.

Meet Prof. Clive Chirwa
Meet Prof. Clive E Chirwa, BEng (Hons),
MSc(Auto.Trans.), Msc (Auto Struct), PhD(Struct.Dyn.), FEIZ, MSAE, VerH, CEng,
PEng & Distinguished professor of Crashworthiness Design of Aerospace &
Automotive Engineering' etc.
Status: The
DEAN, School of Engineering (The Mighty Copperbelt University)
Description:
Prof. Clive E. Chirwa is an Icon. An amazing Engineer Icon, to be exact! He is
smart, amazingly a genius! & famously known for his 'Rich CV'.
I first met him
in my Sophomore year at Uni. I was pretty young then. And to be honest, I had
little knowledge of the power that lies deep inside a single 'handshake.'
Especially when it came to meeting someone amazingly great! Just get to look at
me in the picture giving him my feeble handshake right there! Laughs 😁. I now know just how amazing & building
it is to shake hands, smile & stand next to an Icon.
Well, I bet
engineers around the world know him much much more. And when someone out there
& here speaks (bad) about our home engineers, he's definitely there as a
testimony to silence them all.
QUICK FACTS
about Prof. Clive E. Chirwa:
1. Invented excessive load passive management system used in "all" aircrafts and spacecraft landing gears.
2. Developed Fibre reinforced composite materials used in Airbus 380 Aircraft Fuselage
3. Developed the Crush nose cone used in Formula 1 racing vehicles.
4. Developed modern systems used in the Crashworthiness concept used in all road vehicles today that protect occupants in crashes.
5. Developed the Railway Crashworthiness system used in all modern wagons and to protect passengers in a derailment crashes.
6. Contributed in the designs of many air, road & rail vehicles.
