I’m at Gikomba market, feeling good, carrying my bags of veggies, thinking everything’s going smoothly.

Then, out of nowhere, I trip and fall—right into a pile of tomatoes!

Squash!

Tomatoes everywhere, and now everyone’s looking at me like I just made a salad on the street.

I was embarrassed, but then I laughed.

Life is kind of like that, isn’t it? You think you’re doing great, then something goes wrong.

But those messy moments?

They teach you more than the easy ones.

Let me show you how to turn your own ‘tomato moments’ into wins!

You may fail before you rise,
But through the falls, you'll grow more wise.
Bad times teach you more, you see,
Than all the good that life can be.

Weak ones speak, but don't you mind,
They're bitter for what they can't find.
They envy strength and hate your fight,
But in your heart, you know what's right.

If you've never faced what's truly wrong,
Injustice won't make you strong.
If you've never felt desperate or poor,
You won't know what life’s struggle is for.

If you've never faced defeat or pain,
You won't cherish success you gain.
And if you've never lacked a cent,
You won’t know how much money's meant.
