Ralston G. Bishop now famously known as Abdul Jairo discusses his empathy of poverty, a long standing culture that exists in his country and its effects on society and the world at large. A poet and a writer, farmer and a construction worker, Christian and visionary-Ralston G. Bishop has written a book that empower the enslave minds of bad choices. With an attempt to emancipate those who are captive of their own self imposed prison of disappointments and failures because desires, lust and ambitious goals. This book is consistent with his favorite quote, "The acquisition of wealth can be judged by persistence and determination. However, the unwillingness to share is selfishness and greed" and among his deep reflections he often utter, "Enemies will criticize, friends will encourage, and family will advise. There will be disappointments there will be successes. There will be unfulfilled desires but, the only person you need to defeat is yourself. Just be true to yourself." There is a time for everything! Be strong but not forceful. Be patient but not weak. Be loud but do not make noise. Humility is strength but get wisdom.
