The journey to be where we are today has a story to tell for most of us. In this book you read about the determination, putting lessons into action and inspiration of six individuals who trusted the leap of faith to settle in Australia. Through struggles, challenges and tribulations they conquered to triumph; creating environments and resilience to become better individuals contributing their experiences and lessons as gifts to those who walk in their experiences through this book. Experience, grow and pay-it-forward.

The authors share their struggles and triumphs through real life stories. As one of the Co-Authors of the book , I share, in a way, stories of I were “marred by dust, sweat and blood”, as in the words of Teddy Roosevelt, from my efforts for a better life.

I share some of my vulnerabilities in the stories of my struggles, where I erred and encountered short comings from time to time, and as Teddy Roosevelt pointed out, that there usually isn't “progress from effort without error or shortcomings”.

Through the triumphs shared in this book, Co-Authors and myself did not only strive for a better life but strived for a better life for many more of their families in Australia and countries of origin.

In line with an African proverb which states that “until the lion shares its story, the hunter's story will continue to be glorified”. In the struggles and triumphs, the lion and lioness share their stories.
