"People will always talk, but never you allow them talk you into giving up hope" - JOHN UWANGUE

In our quest for success, hope is a very important commodity that should not be left behind. A man who has lost hope for living is simply a walking time-bomb just waiting to explode. Like i always say, if an american or european needs 100% level of hope, then an African would need times 3 (×3) of that. Sometimes in life, things happen just to take your hopes away, people do or say things just to take your hopes away, we find ourselves in situations that should make us lose hope in life, but the truth is that it does not matter what people do or say to you, you should never allow them to tamper with your hope.
To hope simply means to expect something even if it does not seems like its going to be possible. Alot of africans have lost hope in the continent. People believe that the black race has been cursed by the creator, some believe that they can't succeed in Africa so they look for any opportunity to travel abroad for greener pastures while those that find it difficult to travel abroad end up becoming nuisance in their community. If you can't take away the hope of a man, then you can't take away his life.
I have thought about almost everything but one thing that i have never thought about is travelling abroad just to earn a living. You just can't steal away my hope. No matter what i hear or see, no matter what people say or do, no matter what the situation looks like, no matter what you make me know, you can't take away my hope. While discussing with a friend some few years ago, he said to me "can't you see whats happening around you, can't you see that the government do not care about us, can't you see that the rich are getting richer while the poor are getting poorer, can't you see that churches that are suppose to be helping are busy filling up their pockets, can't you see that the environment does not support young entrepreneurs". These and more where his exact words.
I refused to ponder on his words, not because i can't see the points he raised, neither is it because i am wicked and do not care about others but because i knew deep inside of me that pondering on his words will harden my heart and cause me to lose my hope for a better tomorrow. This kind of words can turn a christian (like me) to an armed robber, kidnapper or assassin, this kind of words have turned alot of ladies into prostitution, this kind of words have turned hearts of flesh into hearts of stones, these kind of words have turned lots of youths into crimes and illegalities, these kind of words have made alot of people to lose their hope for a better tomorrow.
You can allow anybody to steal your money or your properties but never you allow them to steal your hope because in your hope lies your great future. I want you to know that anything is possible under the sun. You might not see the cloud neither the shower but prepare for the rain because when it eventually comes, the whole world will know that something great has happened to you. Seeing is believing so they say, but in the system of hope that word is false. Your world might be crumbling in your very eyes, that person you thought will help you might have disappointed you, you might have been mocked and laughed at, those who you call your friends might have left you, you might not know where the next meal will come from, it might look as if people don't care about your situations but the truth is that there is always an end to every tunnel if only you will keep hope alive.
People will always talk but never you allow them talk you into giving up hope.
