We had the good fortune of connecting with Jasmine Adirah and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Jasmine, how has your work-life balance changed over time?
It goes without saying that spending excessive time working can burn you out & drive you to stress. I try not to do anything work related after work hours like checking me emails & receiving work calls. I make it priority to set time to do other things i enjoy. This balance has helped shape my way of life and also balanced my productivity at work.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I am a tech support agent/Dental assistant. Over the years i have come to understand that a quality life requires sacrifices and dedication,what sets me apart from every other person is my dedication,my drive and sacrifices that i make to be anything that i want to be. If i put my mind to it,there’s no way on God’s earth will i not achieve it. You know what’s even more interesting? I have always wanted to share this part of me but i haven’t just had the time to. Getting to where i am today,took so many years of trial and error/hot tears Lol. I am very hard working and also very efficient but sometimes when it’s not time,the doors will not open so i started to practice patience,the one thing i lacked. I knew i could do the job but i did not have the patience to learn and this brought to understanding my qualities.. I am proud of how far i have come,the knowledge i have acquired in the past years and i am excited about what the future has in store for me. The lessons i have learned from all of my life’s journey would be

1: You have to work for it,everything. Manner will not fall from heaven,go out and get it.

2: Make sacrifices,your growth will thankyou.
3: Be patient.
4:Dedicate time to your core aspirations
5:Read books,invest in courses & certifications. This will help you a lot.

I want the world to know that my story is unique,real and has helped shaped my life. My past,present & future,my failures and trials have turned out to be wins and i hope i inspire someone out there to overcome obstacles,develope discipline and be patient. It will all come together.

If you had a friend visiting you, what are some of the local spots you’d want to take them around to?
I will take them to my favorite restaurants to eat,these restaurants also have bars where we can have drinks so it’s like killing two birds with one stone.

I will say The Select- It’s a restaurant and bar
The Garden room- Also has a restaurant & Bar
Divan
The Knife
Barmago
Loa
Bellyard

These are a few of my favorite places..

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
Shout out to my parents,most especially my father.The foundation which i have become all that i am today was created by him. My life will be nothing without my parents. From quality education to a good standard of living ,to instilling me with good morals & putting God first in all that i do,Just name it. They deserve the credit and so much more. My father always said wherever you go remember you’re representing me. And for me representing my father means standing up for the truth,being myself at all times,being a good leader,speaking the truth,carrying myself with somuch grace and class and above all protect the family name. And to my Man for all the push and Love and care that you show me daily,for driving me to be successful and being supportive of my dreams. S/O
