"An excellent resource of inspiration for young people all over the world. The author efficiently addressed multitudes of topics ranging from poverty in the African society, war brutality, the dream of traveling abroad, and economic discrepancy. This is as an inspirational “ bible" for young people everywhere. His message is that without perseverance, commitment, and consistency to your ideas, dreams, and, aspirations you will not succeed in your endeavors. The author never relented or despaired when the going got tough on him, he got tougher instead. Go and pick up your own copy today and be inspired.”
