43. Your Responsibilities
• Our ancestors, including your great-
grandmothers and great-
grandfathers, endured significant
hardships to secure the
opportunities you enjoy today. Some
even made the ultimate sacrifice,
losing their lives in the process.
• Unfortunately, even in the present
day, instances of racism persist,
where individuals are unfairly judged
based on the color of our skin rather
than our character or abilities.

45. Success
• Commitment = Responsibility =
Results
• You are because of me, and I am
because of you
• I can only succeed if you succeed
• We have to hold each other
accountable to those values
PAGE 45

46. Breaking Free from Poverty:
1. Generosity Over Greed: Instead of taking from others, choose to give and serve. Being a giver can help break the cycle of
poverty.
2. Overcoming Jealousy: Rather than feeling envious of someone who has achieved financial success, bless and celebrate
their achievements. Jealousy only holds you back.
3. Ego Surrender: Release your ego and be truthful with yourself and others. Letting go of false pride can pave the way to a
brighter financial future.
4. Embracing Integrity: Act with unwavering integrity in all your dealings. Ethical conduct is a cornerstone of financial well-
being.
5. Taking Accountability: Hold yourself accountable for the decisions, actions, and results of your endeavors. Taking
responsibility is a vital step towards breaking free from poverty.
