Facing Tomorrow's challenges with answers (solutions) Part 1

Introduction
"It is possible for a man born ordinary to become a messiah by applying the messianic principles." - anonymous
"Tomorrow" here represents the future or days ahead of us beyond today. "Challenges" are the questions of meeting our needs and fulfilling our destinies. Destiny has to do with the purpose of existence. Man was created because he has a role to play in the universe in which he found himself. Anybody who looks to the future with the mind of seeking to satisfy his own appetite is likely to live a wasted life. Whoever loves money is never satified.
To prosper in life therefore, one must be motivated by values rather than just making money. The reason is simple: things that produce enduring prosperity do not yield quick monetary returns. Investment is like a seed. The longer the gestation period, the longer the fruit is likely to endure. If your intention is just to enjoy yourself in life then, this forum is not for you.
"Answers" in this forum simply refers to solutions. Every reasonable person, especially youths, must posess solutions to the challenges of life. We face more challenges today than our forefathers did, therefore, we must be equipped with more facts about life than they were. We must be prepared to work harder than they did, think more than they thought, venture more than they ventured and so on. (To be continued)
