Growth must be personal before it becomes impactful. Build yourself first…

You can't pour from an empty cup. One man liquidated his business to care for his dying father, then faced financial hardship and had to support his siblings. Build your own stability first, or you'll have nothing left to give.

For everyone coming from a poor background, at a level, at least for like 5 years of your life, you need a level of wickedness. You will see people that you love suffering and you won't do anything about it, even when you can. What you're saying is quite tough. It's just the way to come out. It's the way anybody can come out. You're saying at some point people should get to the point where they are saying, this is the priority, I need to come out first. Yes, because if I have a cup and it's half full and I'm pouring to everybody, they won't have enough, I won't have enough. But if I just wait up until my own cup is full. I will overflow. They will end up having enough. I would not reduce. True. So many people start pouring from an empty cup too early. Sir, I've had— I've seen someone who, as we speak right now, is dealing with it. Why? He literally liquidated his business to take care of his dad. The father still died. Right now, to get back up is, is really difficult for him. And this is not one— he was the one sending his younger ones to school. He was also the one taking care. At the point, he was owing house rent because one of his elder sisters gave birth and he had to be the one to take care of. And the other sister had a husband. Oh my God. I'm saying let people bear the result of their responsibility because it's— you have different lives. Yeah. At the end of the day, when you have enough, they will forget the period of time that you forgot them.
