If you don’t have sense, you won’t get money – Osebo tells youth

Fashion icon and socialite Osebo the Zaraman has urged young people to practice smart thinking over mere hard work if they aim to achieve financial success.
His remarks came during an interview with GhanaWeb’s Stella Dziedzorm at the 40th birthday celebration of popular business mogul and serial investor Richard Nii-Armah Quaye
When asked how one can attain wealth and success like Quaye, he noted that many young people today are unwilling to endure the type of hardships Quaye went through.
“You can’t just be like him. I’ve listened to one of his interviews. This guy has really suffered. And what he went through, most of the young guys today will not go through. Even when you ask them to do it, they won’t do it. So, it’s not easy to be like him,” he said.
On the topic of working hard, Osebo also acknowledged the popular advice to “work smart,” adding that true success requires a combination of intelligence and effort.
“Have you seen any rich man who is foolish before? You need to get a brain. If you don’t have sense, you won’t get money. So, you need to have sense before you think about how to get money. You need to use your brain to get money.
“Not too much hard work, but then you can use your brain and get money. So, if you want to be like him (Quaye), trust me, it’s not going to be easy. You can be more than him, but you need to use your brain,” he said.
