Letter of Motivation to Myself

Dear Future Malizgani Mhango

If you want to see an abstract principle such as moral action in a material form you have to choose right and you have to choose the best within your knowledge. The best for your purpose, which is to make your life better and then to move on and extend the knowledge and do better and still better with your purpose as your standard of value.

You have to act on your own judgment, you ought to have the capacity to judge, the courage to stand on the verdict of your mind and the purest, the most ruthless consecration to the rule of doing right, doing the best, the utmost best possible to you.

Be someone who would not submit to the hardships of nature, but set out to conquer it and place it inside of your joy and comfort to what you have submitted at the hands of men.

No matter what, do not worry what people will say they will always have something to say, they will denounce you, not for your faults, but for your greatest virtues, they will hate you but not for your mistakes, but for your achievements.

They will call you selfish for the energy of acting on your own judgment and bearing self-responsibility for your own life. They will call you arrogant for your own independent mind. You will be called cruel for your own unyielding integrity.

You will be called anti-social for the vision that will venture you into enchanted territories and the roads less traveled. You will be called ruthless for the strength and self-discipline of your drive to your own purpose. They will call you greedy for the magnificence of your own power to succeed and create wealth.

With all this, do not yield and keep on keeping on, Determined to succeed, resilient in the pursuit of greatness, persevere through hard work and in all your dealings be a man of integrity.

Yours Past Malizgani Mhango
