Madam – Do not allow failure to be your inheritance.
This is an open letter to all learners. I hope and trust that this letter will find you busy preparing for your final examinations,
I have decided to share with you and also revive your spirit. I wish to indicate to you that failure is not your inheritance. I believe that none of you was born into hopelessness. I say this with love, sincere regard and great respect for you.
I believe that there are many more exciting possibilities around you than difficulties. Perhaps you have been focusing on the wrong side of life not to see the possibilities. Shift your focus from the usual stuff and place it on something else and begin to enjoy your learning journey. Allow the power that is in your destiny to teach you something new. Do not allow external circumstances to disorganise your perfect and beautiful inner being.
Mistakes you made by taking drugs and committing crime should not steal your chances for success. Do not blame that on anyone but to yourself. Press on in your quest for success. There is more to life than drugs and crime.
You may not know your father or your mother but that cannot make you a professional failure. There is more to life than knowing your biological parents, With or without these parents, you can still become what you have been destined to become. It could be that you have graduated from family stress or physical abuse; even that experience is extremely powerless to deprive you of your success. You may not have friends and that also is not capable of stealing your joy and opportunities for success.
As I conclude this letter, I wish to indicate to you that you must be a lover of books and a think tank. Failure is not your inheritance. You represent hope for many. Your family is looking to you for a brighter tomorrow. Failure will always be the loser. Failure will always be your spectator. Failure will never rob you of your socioeconomic development.
I urge you to make a choice today. Prove me right! Choose success and shun failure. Be the best in all you do.
Mr H. T. Makhubu
