Let me tell you something you already know. From the dawn of time man has always being breaking boundaries, doing the things minds could barely conceive. Have you ever stepped back to look around you and see how far we have come. Man has gone to the moon, created planes, phones, smart devices, just to mention a few. Everything around us was created by a mind, and we all have one. We all need to start using it to think possibilities and solutions rather than focus on problems and doubts. So what's that thing you want to do, become or achieve that you think is bigger than you. Guess what?, it's only in your head. You can't focus on failure and expect to win.
So I'm from Africa, Nigeria specifically and it's no doubt we have a long way to go. But it's true we all have minds and genius in us waiting to be used, fuck your government don't depend on them, waiting for them to solve all your problems. If we could all be the best we could be, change our worlds by changing our lives. We'll definetly influence people around us, and then we'll have a better chance of being great as a nation and a continent. We are all part of the government, they can't be without us.
Chase life with every energy you have, solve problems and stay positive. There's no limit to what we can do, we are all gods. Be creative and be ruthless.
Do not be afraid.
