Empowering The Youth Of Today - E-book - ePub

Empowering the Youth of Today is directed at the youth of South Africa. This book is meant not only for academic youth or youth at schools or tertiary institutions, but also for the working youth and those young people who are facing challenges in life. Cutting across all racial lines, location, origin, gender, religion or language, this book recognises and acknowledges the diversity of our youth and addresses those aspects which are common to them all.
It raises critical issues stemming from improper upbringing, while empowering those who have known good parenting. The issues discussed may be simple, but it is these fundamental facets which will guide the young people of South Africa into maturity and cultivate their capacity to empower themselves in later life. For those who are trapped in indecision, desiring progress but requiring a special type of motivation to take those first steps, this is the book to read.
The opening chapters acknowledge that life is unpredictable, and that it is a journey for any young person. If approached with that understanding, many youth will realise that the things happening in their lives may not be of their own making, but rather exist as part of life's general principles. The book therefore suggests that life has rules or principles which should be acknowledged and observed.
It stresses that while these challenges may appear new, they have been there all along, faced by all previous generations irrespective of race. The central message of this book is the principles and techniques which young people can use and apply in their lives at any given time.
