Preface

PREFACE

We are in a part of the world where fear and lack of courage has replaced our strength and self-confidence.

Our overdependence on religion has made many weak mentally, lacking in ambition and drive. Our priorities have become misplaced and efforts are put in futile ventures all in a bid to attain success through the fastest means possible.

The essence of life has been greatly misunderstood. Positive attributes, which promote success, such as vision, hardwork, humility and patience are not given much emphasis. Also, the existence of love, support and a general goodwill among contemporaries is rare. Instead, envy, toxicity and unhealthy competitiveness is the order of the day.

There is a lot going on in our world today, which is affecting the people. The most detrimental of these challenges is the refusal of many to be realistic and reasonable in their approach to life.

Our mentalities are in need of a reorientation. We need to fix our minds on some simple truths. Central to this reorientation process is the acceptance of certain facts: Challenges are a part of life, life is a process, delays and mistakes are inevitable.

Miracles will not happen. Rather, you get out what you put in. Also, important to note is that whatever the length of the process may be, focus should be more on learning and building a network rather than the achievement of the goal.

The importance of fixing the mindset of the people to inspire growth and success in them is the motivating force and inspiration for writing this book.

Life isn’t meant to be easy; it is expected to be lived with understanding, patience and endurance so we can continue to thrive irrespective of what challenges we may be faced with

Introduction

INTRODUCTION

The objective of this book is to give a realistic perspective about life, it’s challenges and ways to overcome these challenges so that we are able to lead progressive and fruitful lives.

Presenting a true representation of life and what it takes to be successful is extremely important especially in recent times, where there seems to be a prevalence in the misconception of success and the ways of achieving it. The sooner we are able to get a firm grip on the reality, the easier it will be for us to plan efficiently towards achieving and sustaining success.

This book is split in two parts. The first will discuss why life is hard and ways to manage the realities of the hardships and challenges while the second part will discuss effective measures to a sustainable success.

The hope is that we will be able to come to accept the truth about life and the requirements for success, which will make us better prepared for the realities of life and give us the requisite skills needed to be successful in our various life
