Become the Ceo of Your Life
Hello, fellow CEOs of your lives! Today, I want to talk to you about the importance of self-employment to overcome being depressed by unequal opportunities in our country.
As you may know, Eswatini is facing many challenges, such as high poverty, inequality, unemployment, and HIV prevalence. These challenges affect many people, especially the rural, less educated, poor, and young population. They also limit the chances of finding decent and fulfilling work, which can lead to frustration, hopelessness, and depression.
But there is a way out of this situation: self-employment. Self-employment means creating your own job, using your skills, talents, and passions to generate income and value for yourself and others. Self-employment can give you more freedom, flexibility, creativity, and satisfaction. It can also help you contribute to the development of your community and country.
Of course, self-employment is not easy. It requires hard work, dedication, perseverance, and resilience. It also requires knowledge, skills, and resources that may not be readily available. That's why I want to share with you some resources for learning more about inequality and taking action to address it.
One resource is the United Nations in Eswatini website, where you can find information about the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially SDG 10: Reduce inequality within and among countries. You can also learn about the impact of COVID-19 on inequality and the urgent actions needed to reduce it.
Another resource is the UNICEF Eswatini website, where you can find information about the education sector, especially the challenges and opportunities for adolescents and young people. You can also learn about the programmes and initiatives that UNICEF supports to improve the quality and relevance of education, including vocational training and life skills.
A third resource is the World Bank website, where you can find information about the economic and social situation of Eswatini, especially the drivers and consequences of inequality. You can also learn about the policies and interventions that the World Bank recommends to accelerate inclusive growth and reduce poverty.
These are just some of the resources that I have found useful and inspiring. I hope you will check them out and learn something new. I also hope you will share your thoughts, experiences, and questions with me and the rest of the community. Together, we can become the CEOs of our lives and overcome the challenges we face. Remember, you have the power to create your own opportunities and happiness. Stay positive, stay motivated, and stay safe
