Fortune Biti tells his story about how he views taking action as well as what inspires him to act! Fortune came to Australia after living in South Africa for most of his childhood. Check out this awesome interview.
What pisses you off about the world?
Racism of any sort, Global warming, the media being more interested in selling than actually reporting the truth. How the rich seem to get away light handed in the crimes they do. Iraqi, the middle east, pretty much a large chunk of Africa.
Do you find it hard to take action on things that matter to you?
I don’t anymore, things I know I can do I do without excuses. Make that extra time where I have to.
Are politics important to you?
Yes because these are the people that are so called meant too be running the planet.
What barriers stop you from acting?The fear of failure. Lazy sometimes I guess.
Do you think that one person can make a difference?
One person can make a difference in what ever they do. Mandela did.
Do you think that young people care about making a difference?
Young people care a lot but usually their ideas are short down or their peers bring them down,
Who/what inspires you to take action?
I used to be quite the laid back kind of person. So just looking back at the things that I have been through inspire me to inspire myself. And now its just a normality, that I just get up and do things without looking for a 1000 excuse why I cannot do them.
