"Poverty is not an excuse for failure. Do something!" - Auma Obama

Some inspiring quotes by President Obama's sister, Auma.
"When Barack first came to Kenya he slept in a small camping bed in my flat"
"I once drove Barack in my battered beetle here in Kenya. 27 years later he gave me a ride in the Beast. Poverty is not an excuse for failure. Everyone can succeed. Do something!"

True but Obama's mum brought him up in inspired him to be studious & successful which he has accomplished when your father abandoned him. Read his book 'Dream Of My Father'.

Unlike the beggers in the north that has refused to do something, rather make begging their profession.

Obama's half-sister is correct to a very large extent. No excuse for failure should be entertained because endless excuses lead to endless frustration. A farmer that is WELL KNOWN for climatic excuses during the planting season will also be WELL KNOWN for empty barns at harvest time. So,think positivity; think possibility; think productivity; think plenty; and TERMINATE poverty.

Auma Obama should have also, added this: for those women and men who like to make plenty children, without a thought for the upkeep, feeding, education, etc, of these poor, innocent children, go tie your tubes or get a vasectomy. To do otherwise, is: goodcause4trouble

Environment has alot to do wt it.
Obama is lucky to grow up in America. If he's in Africa........your guess is as gud as mine

Anonymous said...

Same here, my dear. I will always respect and admire his audacity and big vision, even, in the face of daunting challenges, including, an absentee African father for most of his childhood, a racist American society, humble background, absent name recognition in a society where you climb the success ladder based on referrals or tangible connections and a host of other mitigating factors. Yet, he made it and made lasting history for not just African peoples but humanity as a whole. Indeed, whom God has blessed, no man can curse. Thank you, Mr. Obama for having the balls to buck an otherwise, unfair and entrenched system. To have done otherwise, would have been: goodcause4trouble

Does anyone know why Michelle Obama was not in the trip ? , the answer is in Obama's book : Dreams of my Fathers ,
