I sometimes wonder if young people still dream of becoming an Entrepreneur, do they still have the passion in their hearts to want to start a business of their own and make something of themselves?
Well it seems the answer is yes they do. David Nderitu a 16 year old boy from Kenya used to be homeless, but today he turns a healthy profit by crafting earrings from computer circuit boards and said he was inspired by motivational speakers who visited the children's home that had taken him in.
He makes the jewellery from old phones and computer motherboards that would otherwise go to landfill - "poisoning" the soil - he said.
Now at school, and having obtained an official welding qualification, David is able to create around 60 pieces every two weeks. They sell for up to 300 shillings (£2.10) locally.

So come on kids get off your Arse, get out there and start doing something with your life instead of dreaming of becoming the next superstar. It's not going to happen and your life will be much richer in the future if you start now.
Not very well educated ? Don't have any money ? Don't let that stop you, some of the most famous Entrepreneurs started young and with nothing. I hope this encourages you to give it a go, and if you do end up making millions please remember reading this and send me a Pint.
