While out walking one evening, Stony Kalango heard God telling him to write his next book, “You Can, You Will, You Must.”
The senior, mass communication major said “You Can, You Will, You Must” is a motivational book that does not focus on one specific audience, and will help motivate someone in any situation they are facing.
“It teaches people principles that could be used to achieve their dreams and overcome life obstacles,” Kalango said.
When explaining how his book will unfold for the readers, Kalango said it will take place in a three stage process.
The first stage, “You Can,” Kalango said will encourage people to have a mindset that tells them that they can be successful and achieve their dreams. “Every successful person starts by having to believe that they can achieve something,” Kalango said.
The second stage, “You Will,” Kalango said will encourage readers to have desire and compassion for what they want to achieve. It will also sharpen individuals in whatever aspect that they lack on. “This section deals with doing the work and doing what it takes to be successful,” Kalango said.
The third stage, “You Must,” Kalango refers to as the most motivational of the three sections. “When times get tough, this section will encourage people to keep going and overcome any obstacle that he or she is facing,” Kalango said.
Kalango said he has been writing “You Can, You Will, You Must” for about six months. As far as writing books in general though, he said he has been writing since he was a little kid. “John Mason, an international, world renowned writer and motivational speaker, and my mentor, inspired me to start writing,” Kalango said.
When “You Can, You Will, You Must” releases on Oct. 9, it will be Kalango’s second official book that he has published, behind his book “Pencil Sharp” which released in 2014.
With this book, Kalango hopes to reach national TV by December or by at least the start of next year sometime. “I hope to make it to Good Morning America, Fox and Friends or CNN,” Kalango said.
“You Can, You Will, You Must” will be available for purchase on Oct. 9. It can be found on Amazon.com or skalango.com in both digital and paperback version. Kalango will also be having a book release at 4 p.m. that day as well, at the eXtreme in downtown Alva, on the square.
