BOOK TITLE: YOU ARE YOUNG NOT STUPID.
AUTHOR ✍️: KINGSLEY NNAEMEKA
An educational and inspiring book based on personal and life experiences, driven to empower youth on the journey of self accomplishment. It is more of a self help guide to young minds with purpose.
My mental focus was directed towards;
1. "YOU GAVE BIRTH TO US, NOT YOUR DESTINIES". He wrote in depth about how our African parents impose their choice of career on us. Living right is living by our dreams.
Secondly, "Fail as fast as possible, gather the experiences, and become" —He pointed out the true definition of failure and success. Failure is nothing but a test of how prepared you are to get what you are looking for.Every time you encounter failure, extract the lessons and experiences because you will need them. Rather than fearing failure, fear more about the actions you've not taken.

3. Thirdly,”Do you not know that when you get to the top all juicy, you will fall back with a broken juice cup?” We young people love it easy and stress-free, which happens to be the problem among youths of today. The road to success is not as rosy as we think, but regardless of how thorny it seems, giving up shouldn't be an option.
4. Your mind is a Compendium of possibilities; it is possible to host millions of ideas in your mind and your ability to pick an idea and start working on it is evidence of your self-awareness.
5. Life provides options for so many things, and nature has presented choices to us and most of the time, the choices are in two ways. For instance, it’s either you're walking, moving, or standing. If you're not sleeping, you are awake; when not standing, you are seated; if you are not giving a smiling face, it’s a sad one. Now to those choices given to us, we have the right and power to make decisions on which to follow.
The author gave well detailed instances, experiences and lessons to back up his deep rooted knowledge and brought forth different quotes of great minds; all these helped to put forth his true opinion.
So I recommend this book to all youths who want to discover and reconnect with oneself.
Who wants to find purpose amidst all negativity and failure.
