NOTE

SELF-RELIANCE

Self-reliance is the belief in one’s ability to do certain thing by oneself without necessarily relying on other people. Self-reliance is an act of being financially and economically independent by harnessing one’s talents and skills to earn income.

A self-reliant person will not depend on anyone.  Such a person is always self-sufficient. He is not looking elsewhere for support.

The following are the attributes or characteristics of self-reliance:

  1. Hardwork: To be self-reliant one must work hard in order to achieve a given task without which nothing can be achieved.
