I have many friends, and many of them
are working. Some are students while others are busy building
businesses. All of them are my friends because they have some kind of
motivation. I have not known why I’m in their friendship circles,
but what I know is, you rarely hung around me if you know nothing to
do with your tomorrow. Tomorrow is so special to me that I suffocate
promising friendships just because of it. In short, I appreciate
people who make efforts to doing something because they are driven by
conviction that it can grow.
Building a successful enterprise needs
a lot of patience, risks taking and energy among others. You’ve
heard stories of persons who built multinationals bottom-up. The
story will not normally end without describing their ages and traits.
But more important is the answer to the question after that, “And
what is driving you?” Often, our attractions towards reading these
stories are the catchy headlines and use of language. The answer to
this question in most cases is in past tense. Meaning, motivation
comes before success.
Contrary to the last century, a good
number of young people are running well performing and growing
ventures. Despite high competition and the complexity of the industry
each day, opportunities still exist for more young entrepreneurs to
exploit. We only need to accommodate more flexible approaches that
appreciate the communities around. CSR is becoming a necessity and
young blood like Hesham Da Silva, Facebook Founder among many others
are taking the philanthropy game to all time philanthropists.
Many young entrepreneurs are proving
each moment their intent of creating a better future by inventing and
innovating solutions. It’s critical that youth-led organizations
like Hifadhi Africa champions the devolvement of issues like
community service and mentorship at Primary and Secondary level, this
way, we shall be churning a generation of social entrepreneurs. They
exist, but they can be more.
