When I Grow Up is the story of a young man who has always been told
what to do, what the right thing to do is and when to do it, only
to realise that he was being prepared for a path of mediocrity. In
this book, Darius takes the reader through parts of his life
journey, drawing on lessons from peers, entrepreneurs and people
who have gone through some life challenges. He presents different
perspectives and insights to enable the reader to explore ways to
reshape their reality, and not wait until they have grown up to
live the life they want. He presents an inspiring collection of
life experiences, some adventures that young people go through in
the process of self-discovery. Tabane also presents random acts of
kindness and how these can feed the soul to fuel communities driven
by kindness. Self-worth and self-belief is a consistent theme in
the book. As a growing young man, he explores the power of
parenting and how that influences a child's upbringing and their
early-adult and adult life; and how it shapes the ideas of young
people. The book also explores some highly contested issues such as
life and death, faith, charity, accountability, and the choices we
make, quick fixes and the influences that shape our destinies.
Tabane says an important message presented in the book is that, in
our journey of growth, money and/ or status should not be the
priority but challenging ourselves to become the best person we can
be should be what drives us, because this will subsequently enable
us to generate the money, and / or the status. He argues that the
way we think and feel about ourselves and our lives will either
stifle our growth or challenge us to become better and push us to
continue to grow. There are mindsets we must outgrow, and
mediocrity is one of them, accepting that what has been presented
as a norm is what is normal, when in fact, much more lies ahead.
When we realise this, only then can we begin to truly reach our
full potential.
