makes sure that she updates her wardrobe from time to

al model and asked her why she joined the modelling
sector amongst all the arts sectors we have in Zimbabwe
and these were her words "You see Slim some of the
traits that are important in modelling like good senses of
style, adaptability, a positive attitude, excellent stamina,
good communication skills, outstanding facial projec-
tion and ability to look good all these traits i happen to
possess them so i thought this was as inborn thing since
birth so i said to myself why not give it a try". She also
touched on the issue of some model who venture into
modelling just for the fame saying she is different from
them as she is into modelling for the success part and
she has always wanted to be in a career whereby bright
lights will be falling on her as she walks the ramp.
Like they famous statement says "charity begins at

fearing family. So if she is to be named Miss Zimbabwe
or Miss World she would do a lot of charity work like

liever that these tips will transform you into a better per-
son and wiser. The list goes as follows : Writer, author, university student, young entrepreneur, fit
and turner by profession.
▪Do not limit your brilliance
You are the most intelligent person l have ever seen in
this world. What did you achieve so far? I am pretty sure
that you can do more exploit than that. Can you imagine
that the entire world was shaken by Corona virus. Despite
the fact you are young , old , educated, poor or rich. Why
can you apply this principle into your life. Do not look
down upon yourself. Trust me that you can shake this
world, if you believe in yourself that you were created to
dominate on this earth.
▪ Preparation is the key
Laziness usually slows down your progress in life and it
can cause to be a person who live on chances. Luck does
not exist in the world of success. Take note of this, the
impact which you are going to make in this world is de-
termined by the degree of your preparedness. There is no
negotiations about it. So, If you want to achieve the grand
vision in your life ~ pay the price by working very hard.
▪Hit the target
Never allow the flame which is inside of you to be
quenched even in the midst of the battle. Life is hard , life
is full of surprises. What you did not expect can happen.
