WE CAN GET IT RIGHT!

There is no shortcut to success, if you will do anything great to affect your generation and society; you must dare to go where others are afraid to tread.
I always tell participants that life does not give us what we want, we take whatever we want from life. This is the reason why where some see opportunities and do all they can to seize them, others see obstacles and give every kind of excuse why things can’t work.
The most powerful statement you can make to yourself is that you are not just going to exist, work to pay bills and die an ordinary man. You must be determined to make your mark before you die.
 You are the only one that can be you. There is no one that can do things exactly the same way as you. It has been scientifically proven that no two people have the same fingerprints; even Siamese twins. Knowing that you have talents and abilities that the world needs is the most liberating piece of information that you can ever have.
(excerpts from Chapter One)

LET'S GIVE THIS A TRY!

What we desire to do in this book is answer five questions that we believe will help the youths understand who they are and to show them that they have what it takes to move this country and continent to the next level. (1)What do I have to give? Everyone is an important brick needed to have a complete and beautiful nation, your vision is a necessary contribution to the development of society. (2)Why should I be interested in what is going on? We must realize that a good society is a collective responsibility of all its citizens. (3) Why should developing leadership qualities concern me? Every sphere of life needs a leader, not only in politics; and until we develop the leader in us, we can become clogs in the wheels of development.

(4) What if I do not get a job? The shift from what I would call “education for the stomach” to living a life of impact is absolutely necessary if we are going to have any meaningful development. (5) How do I prepare for relationships that will help me accomplish my life’s purpose? Many a life’s journey have been derailed or completely aborted by entering into relationships with the wrong people.

LET'S DO THIS!

"As is typical of most of us older Nigerians, and now a culture we have passed onto our young, there is the tendency for us to look outward for blames rather than be introspective about the problems that confront our society. That culture has for many years seen us deflect our complicity in the institution of these problems rather than taking personal responsibility, and now the vast majority of our youth follow in our footsteps.

It is a humongous problem that this book seeks bravely to tackle and hopefully reverse. Going against populist opinion the writer brilliantly brings to our consciousness our role as citizens in the healing of our country. She makes us see why we need to be the change we desire, why our little contributions matter and why we must put the greater good at the fore of our actions." - Kenneth Ezaga
