The most difficult task in life is answering why am I here, what meaning can I give to my life’s purpose, and how can I carve a successful life for myself. Believe it or not, most of us ponder this question at a very early age, many of us before we reach 10.
By asking this question early on in life, many of us have gone on to commit a critical error without ever realising that this error, if not redressed, will impact the rest of our life. What is this error?
Instead of exploring often latent gifts, talents and abilities, many of us allow others to dictate the direction our lives take. In essence, we exchange our personal roadmap for success, whilst still in the process of defining and exchange it for one given to us by mum, dad, grandparents, uncle or auntie, other family members, friends, or our primary or secondary school teacher(s). What’s surprising is that this new roadmap is often based purely on nothing more than a mere opinion.
We then start living our life according to this new roadmap— which more often than not leads us to a dead end.
In this book, Anthony shares, through his own search for success, 7 universal principles for success which were first introduced to him by his mentor (Bro Ishmael Tetteh) 30 years ago. These principles are illustrated through real stories from 7 of his mentees over a 20-year period, some of whom have come from disadvantaged backgrounds. Through his work and research he has discovered that young people just want to be successful, just like the rest of us, and it is simply this powerful desire that drives many down the wrong road, or even worse along the path to self-destruction.
He has worked as head of a centre of excellence College within Further Education as part of a 200 million pound project to establish 400 excellence training centres across the UK, as well as been fortunate enough to engage in meetings with employers such as the head of Apple UK, Loreal, Yamaha and a host of others. As a result, Anthony has concluded that the education system is forcibly going through a radical, rapid evolutionary change. This change, however, at the same time offers a wonderful opportunity to young people, an opportunity where for the first time they can explore their natural gifts, talents and abilities as well as learn skills that support their uniqueness, once discovered. The world today no longer wants workers doing a good job—the world is crying out for people who want to make a unique, meaningful contribution, people who want to make a positive difference.
This book introduces universal principles that support this global new education. Learn them, apply them and you become unstoppable as well as sought after globally for your value, as he illustrates through some of the stories of his mentees, which include his own children.
