Businessman Mubita C. Nawa has shared the journey of constructing his dream home, a project that began more than ten years ago
-
He did not have readily available funds, so he decided to construct it gradually based on his limited financial resources
-
A neighbor, who it appeared had a readily available amount of cash, looked down at his speed but became stuck along the way while Mubita continued to his destination.
Homeowner Mubita C. Nawa looks back at the time when he first began building his ideal house.
The businessman shared on Facebook that he had initiated the process 15 years ago and executed it gradually, constrained by financial limitations that made him unable to access ready funds.
The neighbor made him feel forced.
He remembered feeling left out and overlooked as his neighbor, with seemingly endless financial resources, quickly completed construction on his new home, proceeding at a pace that far exceeded his own measured approach.
Although his neighbor’s outward appearance suggested contentment, there was a persistent tension in his demeanor towards Mubita.
He felt I’d behave unfairly by buying more bricks and he commented in a rather rude manner.
Mubita held back in talks, avoiding him due to an air of self-importance in his voice, yet he would trail behind him and display his considerable earnings.
Maintaining his consistent approach
The man’s comments implied that Mubita’s actions fell short of his own ambitious plans.
Unfazed by his neighbor’s jeers and the project’s accelerated pace, the resolute young man kept to his meticulous approach.
Over a decade later, the optimistic man’s property remains unfinished, whereas Mubita’s humble abode has transformed into a spacious seven-bedroom residence, surrounded by a high wall.
I still construct my homes in the same method to this time. Gradually and steadily. I build as funds become available.
Lessons learned
As he looked back on his experiences, Mubita drew a valuable lesson from them, suggesting that people should proceed at a speed that is comfortable for themselves.
He insisted that even completing one window frame a month is still a form of progress because they would be done after one year.
He ponders that building bears some resemblance to education.
Adding:
The duration it takes to build does not matter. Simply, build.
Young woman constructs rental houses within a period of just 10 months.
In an earlier episode, a video featured a young woman who built a rental property that was to accommodate six tenants and sparked a significant interest online.
She documented the construction of the building from the laying of its foundation to its final stages of completion.
The lady completed the rental units in ten months, prompting a flood of good wishes from others.
