From Your Village To Your City

This book describes the actions and activities that the youth of South Africa should follow to help move them out of poverty towards a more rewarding destiny. They include being close to your family, setting achievable goals for yourself, getting the most education you can absorb, moving from the village to a place where opportunities abound, taking advantage of your talents, planning your future, overcoming temporary setbacks or failures, choosing friends and associates wisely, and being persistent and determined to succeed by making thoughtful, good choices. Many people who are born into a poor family give up on their dreams when they strike the first obstacle. However, being born into a poor family is not an excuse for failure. There is always something that can bring about a change, something that results in a better situation. If you choose to be a thug, steal property or do other illegal activity, you cannot excuse this behavior or your use of drugs or alcohol because of the stress of poverty. You can and should focus on whatever will bring you to a better future. We might have been born into a poor family, but we don't have to leave ourselves there. We don't have to give up on our dreams because of our background. Life provides many choices. We need to stand up and make the right choices to change our situation.
