Helping teenagers to be great leaders of tomorrow

Teens life coaching skills lesson number one by: Leonard  Mudhangu 

GIVE THEM TITLES

 Napoleon Hill puts it right when he says:

“What a human conceives it, can achieve ". That is a powerful statement from Napoleon the “THINK AND GROW RICH BOOK " author one of the greatest books in the world that changed my life forever. It’s magical.

   If only we can all think together starting today to build fine great disciplined and clean leaders of tomorrow, we must start teaching our teens today, it’s everyone's responsibility in the society to shape and mould the lives of our future leaders.

  To help them to dream big teenagers wants to be given titles that have got meaning in their life. In one of his lessons my leadership mentor, Dr. Patson Dzamara, a leadership expert ,author of eight leadership books among others and the director of many organizations ,told me this .When he used to grow at his early ages ,his father used to call him  Mr. "Managing Director ",every time when they used to chat with his father ,his father would call him by this title "Mr. Managing Director ". He said this helped him a lot because this gave him confidence throughout his life and today he is the founder and president  of (Off the hook foundation ) among  other organizations where he sits on their boards of management.

   Loosely transforming this piece of story as parents we must apply this same principle giving our children titles at a very young age. Every time when we are calling them at home start with this title. Dr., C.E.O, MD, Engineer among other titles are some of the titles we can use to shape the lives of our teens. Lets start today to give them titles. They will get used to it and it will start to make sense in their lives that they have a purpose that their parents and the community at large expect from them .It is like we have started to give them responsibilities at an early age .They start to know what the world expect from them and it works. Do it for your child .You will give me testimonies tomorrow.

   Let’s help each other to take our teenagers to the top. If we all want to build a better Africa of tomorrow, we must start by teenagers.

Taking teens to the top.

Saheela Ibrahim, the Nigerian genius honoured with a reception in the white house.

Nigerian genius, Saheela Ibrahim, 19, made history On Thursday, February, 26, when she was honoured with an official reception in the White House by the US President, Barack Obama and the First Lady, Michelle.
Speaking after an introductory speech by Ibrahim at the White House, President Obama stated that “there are a lot of teenagers in the world. Saheela is like one of the 50 smartest ones. That’s pretty smart. And she’s a wonderful young lady. She’s like the State Department and the National Institute of Health all rolled into one. And we are so proud of your accomplishments and all that lies ahead of you. And you reflect our history. Young people like you inspire our future.”

Saheela Ibrahim got into the Ivy League Harvard at the age of 15, where she is currently studying neurobiology — a branch of science that studies the brain — and has been listed among the “World’s 50 Smartest Teenagers.” She was also accepted for admission by 13 other top colleges in the United States, including the MIT, Princeton, Columbia, and six Ivy League institutions, choosing Harvard, she became one of the youngest students to ever attend the university. She will be graduating in May this year.
Ibraheem, who skipped two grades in school, said the key to success is figuring out what you love to learn as early as possible, which she did at the young age of five.
“If you are passionate about what you do, and I am passionate about most of these things, especially with math and science, it will work out well,” she told CBS 2s Cindy Hsu. In addition, Ibraheem speaks four languages that include Arabic, Spanish and Latin.
Her mother, Shakirat Ibraheem, said her daughter has been way ahead of the academic game since kindergarten — never cutting corners and trying to do everything on her own. “She’s like always independent,” she said. “I never get to help with her homework because she’d say ‘it’s my work mommy, not yours.’”
Ibraheem’s recognition and reception was part of the “Black History Month” celebration in the US, which comes up in February. The “Black History Month”, takes root from the activities of the “Association for the Study of African American Life and History.” Every year, Americans set aside the month of February to celebrate the central role that African-Americans have played in every aspect of American life especially the march for freedom and equality, jobs and justice, the Civil Rights Act, the Voting Rights Act, and some profound contributions African-Americans make in the American culture.
Present at the evening event were members of the US Congress, including Leader Nancy Pelosi, and members of the Congressional Black Caucus.
