Environment,the limiting factor

It is said that one of the facts that limits people from getting to the top is their environment, and from all indications, the environment seems to be the reason some are having problems, it means therefore until you understand your environment, you cannot prosper in the environment because often, its the environment that determines how long you can go and what you can achieve.
The environment is of such importance that mere study of one environment can be the determinant factor that would propel and catapult the person into the much needed place of relevance in life. you therefore can not use the excuse of you being an African to condemn your self to the dustbin of irrelevance and under achievement, the fact that you were born in Africa does not make you a third class citizen in the world neither those it makes you inferior to other races in the world.
As Africans. there is need for us to renew our thinking process, while maintaining our identity as Africans, we urgently need to stop seeing our selves as inferior to developed countries and this can only be done when Africans begin to value themselves over the other race because what differentiates one race from the other is their mind and thinking process.
Being born and living in America those not guarantee that one will be alive today, it is therefore necessary for each person to appreciate and properly evaluate himself by taking advantages of immediate environment where God has created him.
Begin to think of ways in which you can contribute positively to the development of your environment to become your dream place of abode, if you have been dreaming of succeeding in America, begin to think of how you can turn your immediate environment into America that should at least suit your purpose for achieving what you should want to achieve. you start by asking your self what an American will do when brought to your environment, what will they do to change you environment to suit their purpose and then begin to do those things that will lead to development of the environment.
This type of planning requires careful planning as those developed countries did not just become developed countries overnight, they are sound result of careful planning. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Africans have the capacity to develop and build their continent to taste and even surpass what is existing the advance countries. Africa countries have the potentials and abilities to change for the best.
