Samuel Obeng Badu, who is also commonly known as "Bro. Samuel," completed the University of Ghana with a degree in Social Work and Education. He is a hardworking and dynamic leader who aims to become an eye for Ghana and Africa someday. He is a self-motivated person who has a strong mentality to face pressure and delivers all his duties without fear or favor. He also has good debating skills. He supports the youth because he is of the conviction that a lot of ideas have been gathered by the youth, and when given the chance, they can make a meaningful impact on our society.
In a meeting with Bro. Samuel, we asked him if he has any advice for the youth, and he said, "The most beautiful book to read is Die Empty by Todd Henry." The author was inspired and got the idea of writing this book while attending a business meeting. When the director asked the audience: "Where is the richest land in the world?" One of the audiences answered: the oil-rich Gulf states. Another added: "The diamond mines in Africa." Then the director said, "No, it is the cemetery." Yes, a cemetery is the richest land in the world because millions of people have departed or died, and they carried away many valuable ideas that did not come to light or benefit others.
It is all in the cemetery where they are buried. Inspired by this answer, Todd Henry wrote his book, "Die Empty," where he did his best to motivate people to pour out their ideas and potential energies in their communities and turn them into something useful before it is too late. The most beautiful of what he said in his book is: "Do not go to your grave and carry inside you the best that you have." Always choose to die empty. The true meaning of this expression is to die empty of all the goodness that is within you. Deliver it to the world before you leave. If you have an idea, execute it.
If you have knowledge, give it out. If you have goals, achieve them. If you have resources to assist the less fortunate with love, share, and distribute, do not keep them inside. Let’s begin to give. Remove and spread every atom of goodness inside you. Start the race now. Let us die empty.
