One of the greatest life lessons my mother taught me. To never desire other people's lives because you don't know their actual reality.

Stop desiring another person’s life when you don’t even know the challenges it comes with. All that dreaming you’re doing might lead to you manifesting a nightmare.

There are no medicines in clinics. Students aren't being fed at school. Families are sleeping on empty stomachs. Staple food is too expensive. The poor are getting poorer. There are no solutions in sight for unemployed youth. Young people are doing drugs. Crime is high.

Batswana have smartphones but lack basic ICT knowledge. It's because they skipped the fundamentals of computer use and dived right into smartphones. So they have an idea of what the internet is but they haven't fully grasped th3 infinite knowledge one can learn from there
