About this ebook
Some people are born rich, others are born poor. Some are born healthy; others are born with genetic diseases. Some have loving parents, others have abusive parents. Some have high intelligence, others have low intelligence. Some are born with natural beauty and others are perceived to not be so beautiful according to different views. Well, after all, is said and done and no matter how much we may attempt to bring fairness into human societies vocabulary, all around us as different as we all are, we will see unfairness and even injustice. The question now becomes that; how is it fair that some people start out with all the advantages, while others have two steps against them from the moment they are born?
I mean they have had everything handed to them without having to work for it. Some of them might even be arrogant about it, even though they did nothing to deserve their good fortune. But then child of the soil, how does their fairness affect your life in any way?
We all know the answer even though we might not admit that we do.
We are not affected in any way!
We have found ourselves in positions where it has become commonly easy to blame situations we find ourselves in for our shortcomings than it is to take responsibility for it. Just do some deep introspection and observe that somewhere in this world, particularly in the same environment you are blaming your situation for, someone was dealt a horrible situation than you were, and still managed to turn it around.
Bringing this one home: You might blame your teacher from high school for not teaching properly and giving you the necessary attention to pass well and head straight to university, which has to lead you to a position where you are now struggling because of that particular teacher, But hear this one, from the very same class and the very same period that your teacher was not teaching you enough and giving you proper attention came out a student who passed well and shot straight to varsity and now is making head waves because of that particular moment that you are complaining about, as being the barrier for why you cannot move your life forward.
Someone else made it
How did this student do it?
She/he understood that in every situation you find yourself in, positive or negative, the one common thread is you.
It is your responsibility and yours alone, (not the teacher). I want you to recognize that regardless of what has happened up to this point in your life, you also contributed.
From the beginning of your creation, you have been wired with the capacity to take charge of your situation and life. Should it be that those who are appointed to see you through a particular journey, are not doing their job to enable you to get there, you have within you the capacity to grab your journey by its horn, push yourself beyond the limit which is set for you and make it.
Responsibility is in your hand.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you ENTITLEMENT!

Foreword
‘If you are looking for a book on personal empowerment and paradigm shift, ENTITLEMENT is the book for you. Solomon challenges us not to fall victims of circumstances around us and put the blame on other people but to emerge victors. He encourages us that we have all it takes to become whatever we want despite the challenges we may find ourselves in.
Solomon shifts our minds from the misconception of entitlement where we believe that the world owes us, to an empowering mind that says, ‘We have something to give to the world’. He inspires us to know that success comes from within and not from without. He motivates us to believe in ourselves and adopt an independent positive attitude towards life and not to be over dependent on other people for our success. He also discourages us from putting the blame on other people for our failures but to take full responsibility.
In order to achieve all of the above, Solomon used real life challenges from leaders and prominent people across the world who managed to achieve success despite their countless temporary failures along the way. He encourages us to believe that success is possible no matter our humble beginnings.
I must say that the book is well thought after and researched. I therefore, encourage you to buy ENTITLEMENT if you are serious about improving your life and achieve lasting success.’

Chapter one
start at the beginning
Today, whenever you turn on your television, radio, read a magazine or everywhere you walk on the Left and on the right, almost every person talks about filling their pockets, building lasting brands, starting companies, upgrading qualifications, or uplifting their dream that is slipping, fading, eroding, or vanishing. Again, we find a relic of people who believe that the above read mentality is found only on a lucky few people, and they consider themselves to not fall into that category.
To them, life is not fair.
The government is not doing its job.
The economy is not favouring their circumstance.
Their parents did not pave the road to life well enough for them to be able to standout.
To them, there is someone or something behind their lack of progress besides them.
Someone out there owes them something!
When we look at the definition of the word ‘owe’ from the Cambridge dictionary it is defined as ‘A need to pay or give someone because they have lent money to you, or in exchange for something they have done for you’
My message to you in this book:
You are not owed anything which you
