Don’t tie your identity to superficial achievements or external validation. Build your sense of self on something deeper—your character, your principles, or your faith. When you know who you are at your core, you’ll be more resilient in the face of life’s uncertainties.
Seek out people who inspire, challenge, and support you. Surrounding yourself with driven, encouraging individuals will naturally push you to aim higher and stay focused on your goals.
A dog will always select the bone when you put a wad of cash and a bone in front of it since it doesn’t realise that money can purchase a lot of bones.
In a similar vein, if you put an expensive book and an iPhone in front of a young child, they’ll probably opt to play games on the phone instead of thinking about how their decision could affect their future.
It’s critical for parents to recognise how they shape their children’s choices and preferences through the environment they live in.
It is your duty to influence your kids’ hobbies and morals at a young age, as this may help them make better decisions in the future.
Youngsters flourish in settings that value curiosity over practicality.
Make prudent decisions for them.
As parents, we shape our children’s choices long before they make them.
We praise and honor the parents who thought it wise to enroll their children in the African Language Academy to anchor their belief in learning their mother tongue and cultural skills. This will give them a firm foundation to align and identify the values of African culture and its origin.
This was evident when the young people and one adult graduated on 29 September at HillView Intercultural Centre in Bentley, Perth.
Dr. Casty Nyanga Hughes, the President of the Organization of African Communities (OAC), graced the occasion.
