A 20-year-old student studying Internal Auditing at Malawi Univerdity of Business and Applied Science (MUBAS) Ketson Kayuni has published a book titled’ Life Purpose’.
Speaking in a separate interview, Kayuni who is in third year of his studies at the university,said among other topics, his book contains knowledge on how people can discover themselves and use their mind to achieve life goals.
He explained that the motivational book also contains clues on how to overcome fears.
The student disclosed that it took him two years to finish writing the book which he has helped him to put more knowledge in the publication.
According to Kayuni, the book was written under inspiration of various realities of life which in most cases make people to fail achieving their set goals.
“Just want to let people know that a life with a purpose is worth risking because you know what you are doing and the benefits after that. You lose less”, he explained.
Adding “The other thing that inspired me most to write this book is that we all have a chance or option to choose who we want to become, but small things make us fail to reach our goal like “not knowing what to do” and “fear”.
“Lastly, just wanted to let people know that a life with a purpose is worth risking cuz you know what you’re doing and the benefits after that. You lose less.”
The young author who is also the founder of a fast growing brand Survivor 01 urged people to read his book so as for them to gain new much needed knowledge for success.
Said Kayuni ” I would recommend people to buy and read this book not only because they will learn a lot but they will also appreciate that in Malawi we can also write and produce good materials.
“It’s my pre to the industry that they should support the Malawian talents.
“It’s high time we start reading our products/ books than always spending money on amazon and other means of buying books. we lose a lot from that. Let the talent pay the talented.”
Commenting on how he looks at writing industry in Malawi, the young author who is inspired by MERA CEO and the country’s renowned motivational speaker Henry Kachaje said despite writing industry not doing well in Malawi, it does not mean there is no promising future.
” I have noted one problem. The youth are not supported and the government does not recognise the talents the youths have. Writing is underestimated in our country and yet our friends are benefiting from such. It is so pathetic that even the literature we learn is from outside and yet we can learn from locally made books. The government should try trusting and supporting the youths in recognising their talents,” he said.
To his fellow authors, especially those who want to start writing,Kayuni encouraged them to always believe in themselves that they can do it.
“Know what you’re doing. you will receive discouragement even from those you thought they will support you, that’s part of the game. Writing is not easy, and it’s easy if you take it rightly.
“Never give up on what you’re writing. It might not be that book or piece of writing that will put you at a position of your interest, but the next one will always do. Don’t stop on the way,” he encouraged.
After reading part of Kayuni’s book, author kiran Ntapasha appreciated how it has been compacted
” I will always turn to this book to remind myself that a life with purpose is worth risking, building and living. There’s wisdom in the pages of this book.”
