Episode 2 Learning is the key to Self Sufficiency. Dr Willie Underwood outlines a plan and the skills needed to move out of poverty and set a course for prosperity.

Proverbs 28:19 He who works his land will have plenty of food, but whoever chases fantasies will have his fill of poverty. Those who work their land will have abundant food, but those who chase fantasies will have their fill of poverty. A hard worker has plenty of food, but a person who chases fantasies ends up in poverty.

Dr Martin Luther King Speeches:

Your Life's Blueprint, I've Been to the Mountaintop

“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” - MLK Jr.
