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.

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.

The great number of African Nations suffer military dictatorships, tribalism, corruption, moral decadence, civil unrest, and much more poverty. Africa has been classified as the least developed continent in the dinner of civilization. A lot of strategies have been taken upon in fighting poverty and yet no fruits generated. That’s why one must asked himself, what went wrong in Africa? What counts negative in Africa? What are the roots of poverty in Africa? It is for this urge, that I have taken interest in understanding why Africa is in thousands of miles behind other continents in this planet.
