Member of Parliament for Madina Francis-Xavier Sosu has reminded the Gen Zs that ‘’all that glitters is not gold’’.
The lawmaker stated that having the desire to find dubious ways or shortcuts in making money has consequences, and the ‘’reality will soon catch up with you.
He said in life, there are some values you would need to build in yourself because, without these values, a time will come when you will be irrelevant to society.
Francis-Xavier Sosu advised the youth to invest time in building their skills, have strong values, and become people with integrity and credibility since that will help them help their society.
He also admonished them to also volunteer some time in serving the society, as, in time, it will help in shaping them and how they rise in the future.
‘’If you fail in building these values, you realise in no time that you have no footing. Those values will help you build your future, ‘’ he added.
He stressed that there is no benefit in using dubious means to make money because they have consequences.
