Sir,

If I may ask, where’s the wealthiest place in this world? Most would say China, Singapore or Dubai but it’s neither of those, instead it’s the graveyards.

I say this because in graveyards you’ll find inventions never invented, businesses never started, songs never sang, books never written, ideas never nurtured, people never realised because they were scared.

You see we get one life and every passing moment you will never get back again, even that breathe you just took right now, you’ll never get it back again. You’ll never brush your teeth the same way in your life. We all have to live our dreams now. There are still major inventions waiting to be discovered by you. Ellen Callen was once asked, what is worse than being born blind? She said; “It would be so much worse to be born with sight, but without vision.” I don’t think you want to be that person.

Diseases

Now what would stop us from curing the diseases we made, clean the water we polluted, provide food for every human in this world, educate each other about all the natural disasters and how to prevent them. All you have

Mwest Gama to do it stand-up and voice out, not everyone will listen but someone will notice and continue where you left of. Quit complaining without making change, quit thinking that someone else knows your pain or struggle, quit doubting your intelligence and make your mark in this world. It is possible, depending on how determined you are because you are more than capable. Even the smallest things count. Don’t be afraid to go against others. Do that and you’ll see that you are more than capable. You will also understand why I never lose hope.
