Family Principles of Ahmed Adaku

Family Principles promotes developing a family culture based on good values, which are derived from true religion, as well as a socially acceptable and constructive lifestyle. It does not consider unproductive and backward traditional beliefs and destructive religious movements, but instead offers advice to help families live a positive life.

All parents want their children to follow the values that they consider important. Parents are responsible for shaping the behavior and the kind of life their children and family live. It is important that children know there will be consequences later in life for the actions they take today.

As children grow up to take on their own family responsibilities, understanding the reasoning behind their values helps hold them accountable when faced with peer pressure and more complex problems.

Emphasizing your family values makes sure everyone knows what's important to your family. Children should be taught the realities of today's world and be prepared to face the challenges with a positive attitude, even when it is difficult.

My family principles are based on the determination to succeed, and in recognizing that failures are part of success through the lessons learned that guide future attempts.

Sustaining success achieved out of living a principled life is attainable if practical adaptations are made in this changing world.

"The majority of the formula and methods that were used to solve life problems in the past can no longer address today's life problems."

Young adults will especially find the author's advice helpful.
