Why I Failed, Part VI

Ghanians were willing to do hard labor all day to make a product worth maybe 40 cents. I had a problem with that.

Ghanians saw marriage and childbearing as status symbols, whether either was affordable at the present time or not. I had a problem with that.

Ghanians would do anything to get to a more developed country because they had no hope that they could become prosperous in their own. I had a problem with that.

Ghanians didn't see why it was a problem to live in rat-infested conditions. I had a problem with that.

Ghanian businessmen wouldn't compete with each other because any ill-will might open them up to voodoo curses. I had a problem with that.

Ghanians felt the rich were obligated to help out the poor. I had a problem with that.

That's why I failed.
