I have faced a number of good experiences and bad experiences in my life. I always enjoyed the good experiences I’ve had and learned from bad experiences. Though good experiences always please my heart, I always learn from bad experiences which leave me heartbroken. I am glad that I always pick the pieces and move on. The most difficult experience I’ve had was the death of my friend and co-student. He died of Malaria in the last semester of our Standard Six. Lack of education and poverty caused his death. From that, I understood the importance of education to the people since he just needed first aid, which he lacked as to why he passed away. The moment I was selected to join the Ordinary Education with support from WEF was my proudest moment. As a kid, there was nothing than having a chance to get to the other level after staying at the same level for years.

Hello Fam 😊,’

A better way to improve in a new and fresh year is no other but let the mind break its comfort zone and let it explore more to even find a better way to elevate that level of thinking and brainstorming. Dr Grace Lordan suggest ‘’Take small steps and build the future that you want’’ and here are 10 lessons from her beautiful work ‘’THINK BIG’’.

10 lessons from
" THINK BIG "📚
-
1. Don't be afraid to dream big. The first step to achieving anything is to believe that it's possible. So don't be afraid to dream big, even if your dreams seem impossible.

2. Set goals and make a plan. Once you know what you want, it's time to create a plan for how you're going to achieve it. Break your goals down into smaller, more manageable steps, and then make a schedule for when you're going to complete each step.

3. Take action. The most important thing is to take action. Don't just sit around and dream about what you want to achieve. Take steps every day to move closer to your goals.

4. Don't give up. There will be times when you want to give up. But if you keep going, you will eventually achieve your goals.

5. Be patient. It takes time to achieve anything worthwhile. So be patient and don't expect to see results overnight.

6. Surround yourself with positive people. The people you spend time with have a big impact on your success. So surround yourself with positive people who will support you and help you achieve your goals.

7. Believe in yourself. The most important thing is to believe in yourself. If you believe that you can achieve your goals, then you're halfway there.

8. Never stop learning. The world is constantly changing, so it's important to keep learning new things. The more you learn, the better equipped you'll be to achieve your goals.

9. Don't be afraid to fail. Everyone fails at some point. But don't let failure discourage you. Learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward.

10. Enjoy the journey. Don't just focus on the end goal. Enjoy the journey of achieving your goals. It's a journey that will teach you a lot about yourself and help you grow as a person.

I hope these lessons help you on your journey to achieving your dream and having a better experience running towards your dreams and goals.

Remember.
“The man who walks because he loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination.”

But the man who walks to save his loved ones won’t stop no matter how much he hates walking.

Use whatever it takes to to get to wherever you wanna go.’’

Be blessed 😊

Title: "The Wealthy Philanthropist's Humble Hustle"

Once upon a time in a bustling city, there lived a man named Richard who was known far and wide as one of the wealthiest individuals in the region. He owned multiple businesses, lived in a grand mansion, and had all the luxuries money could buy. However, Richard was not content with merely accumulating wealth; he had a deeper ambition.

One day, Richard decided to embark on a journey that surprised everyone who knew him. He put on simple clothes, rented a small apartment in a modest neighborhood, and took up a job as a cashier at a local grocery store. This unexpected move left many people bewildered, wondering why a man of his stature would choose such a humble life.

As a cashier, Richard interacted with people from various walks of life every day. He listened to their stories, learned about their struggles, and empathized with their challenges. Over time, he realized that there were many in his community who needed help and support.

Richard's hustle wasn't just about earning money; it was about making a difference. He began to quietly use his vast resources to help those in need. He paid for the education of underprivileged children, provided food and shelter to the homeless, and supported struggling local businesses. Nobody knew that the kind-hearted cashier was, in fact, a wealthy philanthropist.

As the years passed, Richard's acts of kindness touched countless lives. He never sought recognition or praise; he was content knowing that he was making a positive impact on his community. His journey taught him and those around him several valuable lessons:

1. Humility: Richard's willingness to step out of his comfort zone and live a humble life demonstrated the importance of humility, regardless of one's wealth or status.

2. Empathy: By listening to others and understanding their challenges, Richard developed a deep sense of empathy, reminding us that genuine empathy can drive positive change.

3. Giving Back: Richard's story emphasized the significance of using one's resources to give back to the community and help those less fortunate.

4. Silent Acts of Kindness: Not all acts of kindness require recognition or fanfare. Richard's story showed that sometimes the most meaningful gestures are the ones done quietly and selflessly.

5. Purpose Beyond Wealth: Richard's hustle wasn't about accumulating more wealth; it was about finding a greater purpose in life and using his resources to improve the lives of others.

In the end, Richard's journey from wealthy magnate to humble cashier left a lasting legacy of kindness and compassion. His story serves as a reminder that true wealth is not measured solely in monetary terms but in the positive impact we have on the lives of others.
