The Principal things for African Young People (Episode 1) – By Javnyuy Joybert
Unfortunately millions of African young people believe and think that to make it in life and destiny they need a lot of money and connections. Yes money and connections (networks) are important but before a young person get to that level where he/she need the money and high connections there are certain principal and key things they must first put in place. Success in life is a continuous journey which starts with you being able to consider those basic key things to do at the right time as a young African. One of the most valuable lessons I have learned is that your potential success in life cannot and will never be determined by how much money you need to start.
Most African young people spend time to think and complain about how bad things are In Africa and don’t think about how good they will be because they lack that attitude. A positive attitude is key to a successful life because it takes a positive attitude to achieve positive results therefore your attitude either make you or break you, your attitude is the foundation for every success and every failure you have had and will have. My counsel to my fellow young Africans is always have a positive attitude/mindset, it is your attitudethat makes a situation positive or negative
In my next article I will share ways that can help us to keep our attitude in check when the circumstances and situations are horrible.
