In a frank address to the youth of Malawi, prominent prophet Shepherd Bushiri has highlighted the detrimental effects of pride, excuses, and complacency on young people's futures. He pointed out that many are stuck in unemployment, grappling with high living costs and shrinking job opportunities. The crux of his message is that the greatest obstacle facing the youth isn't the unavailability of jobs, but rather their reluctance to accept any position, especially if it doesn't align with their educational qualifications or perceived status.

Bushiri criticized the mentality that prevents numerous university graduates from settling for informal or lower-paying jobs, leading them to remain idle while waiting for 'big jobs' that may never exist. He emphasized that gaining experience through any form of labor is critical for moving forward in their careers and lives. By waiting for ideal opportunities, they risk missing out on valuable work experience that could enhance their prospects in the long run.

The prophet's bold encouragement to re-evaluate their attitudes towards work aims to ignite a transformative mindset among the youth. He contended that embracing humility and hard work is essential for overcoming current economic challenges facing Malawi's younger generation. If they can let go of their egos and begin to take action, they may find new pathways to success, fostering both personal growth and contributing to the country's workforce.
