50. Be Yourself
People are one no matter what race
The colour of skin is no disgrace
Be kind and helpful having no hatred
Try to live a life that's sacred
To be the best you can be, means being yourself, and accepting who you are, no matter what other people think of you. There will be times when people will do their best to knock your confidence and negatively discourage you. At the same time, these very same people will be the first to shake your hand and congratulate you, if or when you succeed. Another thing that will affect your ability to succeed, but really shouldn’t, is the colour of your skin and what sex you are.
Research has also shown that non white people, or people of colour are far less likely to be offered professional jobs, offered adequate housing and given basic medical care compared to their white counterparts.
When it comes to men compared to women in the workplace, women are more likely to be paid less than men, not offered positions of promotion, and frowned upon when taking time off due to maternity leave. Having said what I have, if you’re willing to make sacrifices, you can still achieve mostly anything that you put your mind to, if you’re willing to work hard enough.
