Thank you, Poverty by Sifiso Tsoman Ndlovu

The author was just like many other children who grew up with nothing and felt that the world was against them.

Hearing hurtful words like, ’you will be nothing in life’, made him realise how cruel the world could be. But in response he kept these powerful words in mind:

HOPE
DETERMINATION
A WILL TO SUCCEED

Life does not owe you an apology for being poor, undermined and being a ‘nobody’. It is your willingness to change your negative situation into a positive one that will change your life. Being born poor is not your mistake but dying poor is your mistake because you have failed to take responsibility for your life.

 Every book has a cover, however, what is a lot more important is the message written inside. Likewise one’s outward appearance and circumstances does not define the real person. Rather it is the inner being that defines the real value of the person hidden inside.
