If nobody else will say it, I will tell you the unfortunate truth about life:You can’t help everybody. And you can ruin your own life trying to.You can’t save everyone that comes asking for help. Touch the lives you can and move on, else you will see yourself getting drowned.

Let me be straight with you: how you do anything is how you do everything. If you’re careless with small tasks and don’t take them seriously, no one will trust you with anything bigger.

If you believe the half-truth that “only connections can get you a job/opportunity in Ghana or anywhere else in Africa,” you’ve already disqualified yourself. I’ll be the first to admit that connections help, they open doors faster. But they’re not the only path. Every year, people land great jobs purely on the strength of their […]

In our daily lives, we all make sacrifices to get to where we aspire to be. But our nation, the Ghana we call home, was built on the shoulders of those who gave far more. They sacrificed their lives, their freedoms, and their dignity for what they believed our country should be. Today, we enjoy […]
