Those who make more money than others know how to invest their time. Time and money are like peace and prosperity. They perfectly complement each other. They are reciprocally intertwined and interrelated.

Foreword
The book contains a sequence of invented, but authentic short stories, all designed to empower young minds. It is dominated by motivational and highly informative themes, which include educational, political, social, economic and legal issues. The book is more of a call for action than the unfolding of new concepts.
The following propelled me to compile the book:
An aspiration to positively contribute to the welfare of South Africa as part of Africa and the world.
The fact that it is human nature to evolve, and the best way to do it is by becoming lifelong learners.
South Africa suffers from a chronic shortage of entrepreneurs, causing the high rate of joblessness.
To unlock that untapped entrepreneurial spirit in the youth.
The youth needs to be galvanised and not accept a mediocre kind of life.
Our present socio-economic conditions that have negative long-lingering effects.
We all need to perpetually and interminably interrogate the status quo in a manner that is both logical and legal.

Chapter 1
Be educated and enjoy the fruits and freedom that go with it. When I was growing up, I was told over and over that education is a key to success. I never questioned the veracity of this statement or never asked whoever told me to explain it further. I just accepted it literally as it is, and what followed thereafter was hard work all the way. This saying is as old as the word ‘old’ itself and it has been relevant all the way through.
Analysing this statement, one realises that education, whether formal, informal or both, is important to one’s life. The word ‘key’ as used in the statement refers to that small item usually made of metal that we use to unlock a locked door. This is my supposition. In the same breath, education unlocks your potential. It gives you a different perspective of life as a phenomenon. It makes you a master of your own fate. In simple terms, it makes you a better person.
However, it is not just any kind of education that will do wonders to one’s life. It is a well-structured, quality and future-oriented kind of education. It is the kind of education that seeks to address the present and the imminent needs of society. It is a learner-aligned kind of enlightenment. It is the kind of learning that takes into account individual needs of different learners. It is the kind of education that acknowledges the truth about our political, social and economic past. I am referring to the system that is evolving to correct the present social ills, and strives to bring about economic fairness and inclusivity.
Truth be told, our democratic government has been working untiringly to improve the lives of millions of our people. A lot has been done and a lot more still needs to be done. For that, we need to say bravo to all those who contributed and to those who still contribute to the benefit of our people.
To those heroes and heroines who are no more part of this world, we say your efforts shall not be in vain. We shall take over the cudgel and run the course. We will always remember you. Whenever and wherever your name is mentioned, we shall proudly say: That’s one of our own; that’s our protagonist; that’s our messiah, our liberator and our saviour.
We shall forever be proud of you. You occupy a special place in our hearts. You left us a rich legacy. The legacy we
