Your Attitude can do it all

Unemployment is the order of thee day in Uganda and other parts of the world affecting the youth the more. The youthful citizens have tried what they can but in vain and to me I guess it is about their attitude towards solving the problem. They have turned up to the Governments thinking that the Governments are the problem and the sole causers of unemployment in the respective countries.

Due to the much demands that life pushes, among the youth, instead of taking time, utilize it effectively and efficiently, use the meager natural resources they instead resort to idleness, playing uneducative and wasteful games like cards gence turning into mobs, strikes and demonstrations among other facts

 

Sincerely speaking, I used to have the same characters much with awkward characters. Time came that I sorted my self and came to my senses, I relaxed and though of ways how I could escape from the “rat race” and moreover by chance my mind hated idleness and strikes but instead I desired working and above all I yearned to be genius. I realised that some of my friends go to this  “computer center” but I was not sure of what it offered. Until out of curiosity I went there and started attending meetings and learning computer.

“Therefore whatever the mind convinces and believes it can achieve”

From the knowledge sharing forums and meetings of the youth at BROSDI centre that I used to attend, I developed a mind and started a small project of tree planting but to be sincere, I was shy in the beginning because many laughed at me and others called me a mad person because I started a unique project, so they thought I would not manage.

I pushed it the hard way and through the continuous advice and knowledge I used to get from the meetings and knowledge sharing forums at BROSDI, I didn’t hear or mind of whatever they said, time has come that am now in ripping season from the project….. Honestly I have to say I am in business. On average I earn 5,000/= daily out f the sale of tree seedlings. I can manage to save some money for my self, acquire school requirements, clothes and some up keep. I hope to use my savings to increase on my project and start up another project of poultry.

 

I have high hope in me that with in a short period of time, I will be earning much from this project. I at the same time recall what they used to talk when I had just started the project and I thank God for the success.

I use this article to call on all young people to have their attitude changed form looking for jobs in offices but to start up own projects to earn a living…….

Great appreciation to BROSDI for the support rendered to the young people.
