The IPP Executive Chairman, Reginald Mengi has been advised to prepare a collection of his speeches and publish a book which would help the youth to overcome the challenges they encounter in their daily life.
The advice was given on Saturday by the Director General of Tanzania Youth Alliance (TAYOA), Peter Masika.
Masika was speaking during a leadership training seminar aimed at preparing leaders with a new focus of patriotism and kindness to the society organised by the British Council.
He said Mengi had been highly contributing in educating the public on how to fight poverty.
He had been sensitising the wananchi to be creative and confident when undertaking projects.
`Such education should not be left like that because the coming generation will not be able to get it. That is why I request you to prepare a book from your various speeches, because by so doing the society will benefit most from you,` he said.
He said if a person would follow all of his speeches he had given out several times, he could get wonderful achievements in his engagements, particularly on how to start a business.
For his part, Mengi thanked the Director General for his advice.
He told the youth that they should believe that they “can get greater achievements than him.`
He said there was no reason for being satisfied with what they had already achieved, but instead they should add more efforts and believe that they could do better.
`Any one who registers some gains and becomes complacent or refrains from working hard to achieve more, has lost,` he counseled.
He however said that the training should be a catalyst to making the youth become good leaders and render them as role models to those they lead.
`Leaders are supposed to be careful in everything they are doing; they are supposed to be examples even with their statements,` Mengi cautioned.
He said leaders were supposed to improve their performance by undergoing various training in order to cope with the changing world.
Training facilitator John Ulanga said the six-month training course involved youths from various regions in the country.
He said youths from various countries in Africa including Kenya, Uganda, Zambia, South Africa, Namibia and Botswana had also undergone the training.
