Men, Growth starts when you accept pain. Wisdom is the fuel for growth, and the price of wisdom is pain—the reason behind the common phrase, "no pain, no gain." There will come a moment when pain becomes normal. Our generation is failing because everyone wants an easy life. Few are willing to put in the effort required even for the food they eat. It's either they expect the government to provide for them or only look for employment. The reason rural boys mature earlier than their urban counterparts is responsibility. After coming back from school, rural boys know they need to look for the cattle, go to the gardens, and sometimes work in the fields before they can go to school. It's very rare to find a 25-year-old "boy" in rural areas; they are men with their own hut, field, goats, chickens, and maybe even a family on top of that. Meanwhile, in town, you will find a 30-year-old still acting like a boy, begging food from his mother and sleeping in the kitchen whererats and cockroaches will be licking his mouth. They will end up being depressed and start taking drugs, because the only thing they understand is to sit on the bridges scratching scrotum. Once a boy's penis becomes hard when he see buttocks, it's time for him to think about owning a hut and a piece of land. Even when employed, remember one day your job might end. A rural home is a good springboard from which to rise again.#saveaman Diaries of the General
