The Prime Minister addressing the youth
The Prime Minister gave the youth advice to help them become wealthy, thereby fighting poverty.He provided this guidance at the Bulange flower gardens during a meeting with young professionals.
In his address, he emphasised that the key to success in any job lies in integrity, transparency, and quality. He also highlighted critical points that young people should focus on if they wish to excel in their careers:
1. Focus on Ideas that Generate Income: Concentrate on ideas that meet a demand, regardless of their size. Small ideas can lead to significant results if managed well.
2. Learn Your Desired Job: Understanding the market's needs is crucial. Study and master the job you want to do.
3. Be Transparent: Dishonesty and corruption do not lead to success. As a business owner, maintaining customers' trust is essential.
4. Be Patient: Wealth takes time to accumulate. It requires patience and a clear understanding of your sources and how customers interact with your products.
5. Work with Passion: Dedicate yourself to your work to attract more customers.
6. Manage Finances Wisely: Align your spending with your income. Use some money for daily needs, save some, and reinvest the rest into the business.
