Happy to introduce my youtube channel! Join the conversation online and let's build the Africa we will all be proud of.
AFRICA IS A CONTINENT ON THE MOVE AND HER YOUTHS ARE HER GREATEST RESOURCE."We cannot always build a future for our youth, but we can always build our youth for the future."Franklin D. Roosevelt. MentorAfrica looks to help youths, through various life transition mentoring topics, to prepare youths for development and leadership that will help them change the African narrative whenever the opportunity arises.

DO NOT SUCCUMB - NE SUCCOMBEZ PAS
How do we get up and get going when the situation looks very daunting and hopeless? Do we just lie down and play dead or do we think of ways to approach and overcome the challenges? Until you are in a situation like this you cannot understand. It is easy to talk motivation, it is not that easy to walk the talk. The problem is that those who mentor and coach others sometimes make it seem too easy and begin to blame their clients for lack of cooperation when things do not happen as fast as they should. What most coaches and mentors should not fail to put in the picture is the cultural background. One-size-fits-all programs do not work in the business of helping people do something with their lives. Working with African youths, you discover that most think that there is nothing they can do to become like the technologically advanced world. This mental block is one of the things that those who have to work with youths from these parts would have to give serious attention. This block makes most of them recline and say that so long as they can get by without bothering anyone, life is good enough. We do not need to deceive ourselves or live in a world of make-believe if we want to live for impact. Be honest enough to admit that the mountain is real but be bold enough to seek ways to go through it or make a way around it and live a life of impact. Enjoy your day!
Comment pouvons-nous nous lever et avancer quand la situation semble très désolante et sans espoir? Acceptons-nous simplement la défaite et faisons le mort ou pensons-nous à des façons d'aborder et de surmonter les défis? Jusqu'à ce que vous vous trouvez dans une telle situation, vous ne pouvez pas la comprendre. Il est facile de parler de motivation, il n'est pas si facile de pratiquer le principe. Le problème c'est que les menteurs et les coachs donnent l'impression parfois que c'est une affaire facile et ils commencent à blâmer leurs clients pour le manque de coopération quand les choses ne se passent pas aussi vite qu'ils le voudraient. Ce que la plupart de coachs et de menteurs ne doivent pas manquer de mettre sur la table c'est l'aspect culturel. Les programmes d'une taille unique ne marchent pas quand il s'agit d'aider les gens à faire quelque chose avec leur vie. En travaillant avec les jeunes Africains, vous découvrez que la plupart pensent qu'il n'y a rien qu'ils peuvent faire pour devenir comme le monde technologiquement avancé. Ce blocage mental est l'une des choses que ceux qui ont le devoir de travailler avec des jeunes de ces régions devraient accorder une attention sérieuse. Ce bloc rend la plupart inclinable et ils disent que tant qu'ils peuvent vivre sans déranger personne, la vie est assez bon. Nous n'avons pas besoin de nous tromper ou de vivre dans un monde imaginaire si nous voulons vivre pour l'impact. Soyez assez honnête pour admettre que la montagne est réelle, mais être assez audacieux pour chercher des moyens pour le traverser ou de faire un chemin pour l'encercler et vivre une vie d'impact. Bonne journée!

BUTTERFLIES... LES PAPILLONS...
Great victories that we applaud and talk about for a long time come at great cost to those who accomplish them. There are events that may not even interest us but whether we like it or not, they can become life lessons for many. It is always a surprise to look at a butterfly and imagine that it was once a caterpillar. Nothing in the structure of a caterpillar suggests that something as soft, beautiful and fragile as a butterfly was once that rugged creature that could hurt someone when it stings. Life is full of transformations that make us wonder, situations that may defy explanations; that is why life is beautiful. Anything can happen to those who believe stronglg enough to stay their course even in the heat of opposition. You may not like a person or their principles but give it to them when they do not retreat until the battle is over. Always remember that the process might be gruesome but success brings with it much satisfaction. Have a beautiful day!

Les grandes victoires dont nous applaudissons et nous parlons pour longtemps coûtent cher chez ceux qui les accomplissent. Il y a des événements qui ne nous intéressent peut-être même pas, mais que cela nous plaise ou non, ils peuvent devenir des leçons de vie pour beaucoup. C'est toujours une surprise de regarder un papillon et d'imaginer que c'était une fois une chenille. Rien dans la structure d'une chenille suggère que quelque chose d'aussi doux, beau et fragile comme un papillon était une fois cette créature robuste qui pourrait blesser quelqu'un quand il pique. La vie est pleine de transformations qui nous font émerveiller, des situations qui peuvent défier les explications; C'est pourquoi la vie est belle. Tout peut arriver à ceux qui croient assez fort pour continuer leur course, même dans la chaleur de l'opposition. Vous pouvez ne pas aimer une personne ou ses principes mais il faut le donner le credit quand ils ne se retirent pas jusqu'à la fin de la bataille. Rappelez-vous toujours que le processus peut être horrible, mais la réussit apporte beaucoup de satisfaction. Passe une bonne journée!

JUST A HYPE OR REALITY? - UN HYPE OU UNE RÉALITÉ?
With so much information available on how to live a life of
purpose, we need to be careful so we do not just get into a hype. Many have begun
projects that they could swear at one point was their life dream and crashed
out because they discovered it was just a hype. We can save ourselves the
trouble of abandoning projects and becoming discouraged by taking our time to
understand who we really are and what drives us. Are you driven by pop culture
or by peer pressure? Are you trying to prove a point or you are truly trying to make an
impact by contributing your quota to human development? We need to take time
out personally to think about what we are doing so we are not swept away by
what somebody else is selling us. Life is very complicated, you need to sit
down and process your journey before you take important steps. Many get
confused and frustrated out of their journey because they discover that they
have taken the wrong turn and they feel it is too late to make a U-turn. We can
start from any point but we can only do if we understand where we are and what we need to do to achieve our objective. Do not
allow pop culture to define you; before you start, think hard; when you are sure,
take the plunge and open your heart to learn from mistakes as you go along. Enjoy
your day!
