Let us add value to our lives for wealth creation

Life success foundation admonishes

The Chief Executive Officer of Life Success foundation for Africa, Charles Adu has decried the notion about Ghanaians being poor because they are lazy.

According to him, Ghanaians are not poor because there lazy, but are poor due to their inability to identify the talents in them and further sharpen them into skills.

Speaking to the new Crusading Guide in an interview, He noted that even though some people might know their talents, their inability to sharpen their talents into skills for wealth generations also become a concern.

“Talents of people emerge when they are young but these talents are sometimes ignored by our parents and they push these children into disciplines or fields they have little knowledge or low skills to project themselves.” He stated

“It is important for us know what is within us “self-actualization” we need to know what we have, focus on our goals, growth strategies and channel all our energy and effort towards achieving these goals” he stressed .

Charles Adu described some people as being greedy in the sense that they prefer enjoying their wealth alone and not want to share their success stories with others.

“They think when they share their wealth with others it will enable them rubble shoulders with them. The rich today want to be on top of every level to manipulate others to work for them like slaves. If the trend is not change, our children will be worse off and this will result in rise in social vices such as armed robbery, prostitution, among others,” he stressed.

On his part Prince Chartey, codjoe marketing Director of the Foundation said it was obvious that natural resources, though in abundance could never make every Ghanaian rich or comfortable if they fail to add value to their talents and skills.

There is the need for us to consistently add value to our skills after we have sharpened them to enable us generates enormous wealth, he indicated.

Giving a scenario of how an ordinary person can add value to his or her life. Jane Irina Adu Chairperson of the foundation said a mechanic who earns a low income for instance could decide to assemble waste materials from the mechanic shop and develop them into coal pots in his free period. This she said could be sold to people for extra income to augment his earning. “There is no need to concentrate on one field but explore others” .

“We must not be scared of what we plan to do. We should disregard our sub conscious inferior memories which remind us of failure,” she noted.

She said the time was ripe for Life Success Foundation to teach Ghanaians the path to riches and help them live in richer and better lives without stepping on the toes of others. “We must teach people to stay in the presence of the creator where we receive our daily blessings. This will restrain them from engaging in short cuts to riches, she added. Jane Irina Adu Chairperson Life Success Foundation
