The Reality That Africa Must Embrace

When one realizes that change is the only constant thing, then he/she agrees with the Greek Philosopher Heraclitus that everything is in the state of flux and no one can step in the same river twice. Africa must agree that change has already taken roots and thus nothing else that can be done rather than embracing the reality.

Learn From Your Mistakes

If you have never failed, attempt and long to fail big. We only live and die once. Don't be afraid to fail because failure has been part and parcel of life. The most important thing is what you do after you fail. If we were to count failure, then Jack Ma would be the most victim the world has ever known. Interestingly, today Jack Ma is one of the richest men in China. How many times did he apply as a young person to join Harvard? 10 times and got rejected. How many times did he apply for  different jobs? 30 times and he was rejected in three simple words, "you are of no good". His failure made him strong and courageous to face life with a different angle.  For the first time, he came up with an idea to start online marketing company. With his collaborators, he named it Alibaba. Today Alibaba is the largest e-commerce company in the world. Failure does not matter, what matters is what one does after failing.
