Honore Gbedze Sometimes things will come and go to you through your mind but relevant questions will never go away. These are some of the questions we need to ask ourselves every day until we get the right answer. Who am I and what am I looking for? As you very well know this is not a strange question to ask ourselves we all should ask these questions of ourselves as it promotes something to think about it. Are you disciplined enough to be decisive? Further as we find ourselves in the 21st century we need to pay more attention to the gap between the wealthy, healthy, middle class and poor in order to bring it closer together. We need more, not just money as it is a mind game; but an innovative idea that will help us reach this goal. The danger is to see our youths innovative ideas die in their mind and never materialize as they perhaps get discouraged. Paying more attention to their needs or looking beyond their cultural background today and to see some youth get ahead is the righ thing to do in any society. Any leadership that refuses to collaborate by hiding information and malice when offering advice with old mind sets and offer a negative approach on every situation which can give youth bright futures must know the time we are in today and for the future deserve positive approach from any and all levels of leadership in all societies. We have already seen the consequences of this behavior as the results are very apparant in some parts of the world that have not helped this very subject matter. This is not good for our future as a nation and the world. Today’s youth know what they want and know the answer for the problems well. Believe it or not every human being knows the answer we just have to be open and listen to youth as they will take and carry the torch for the next generation with their full potential to help continue build this great nation. We must renew our efforts to work together and be open to reach out without hesitation where ever the call and need comes from for the future of our youth. The result of success will not come today if the difficult part is to continue doing the same mistake over and over. We then fail to change with what we choose. In today’s world we have to know what we want and be ready to take it or build it out of cost whether you are citizen, immigrant, refugee or whatever you call yourself. As my grandfather used to say: “A man without land is nothing” in the 1800’s most immigrants came to their new world looking for land and a new life. Today in the 21st century this may not be the quest of our time but the question remains, what am I looking for? If we are about to make it and be an example, these are very important steps to take and remember no one has the right to your destiny. Life will not be reaped out of only one day. The decision to pay any price and bear any burden and sacrifice in the name of victory has to be made long before the game starts. A man without a great idea is nothing; ideas lead to action that builds. Our diversity is our strength when rooted in a common understanding of what we stand for and why we exist as people and nations. Our dear readership and community we are grateful for your continuous trust and support. Many blessings to you all. Publisher /Editor |
Deidré Heim September has once again arrived and with it comes an opportunity to set new goals as we start the new school year in the Northern Hemisphere. If you work in a financial capacity in business then it is also that time of year when the third quarter results are due and faced with only having one more quarter left in 2010 to fulfill the goals that were set at the beginning of the year. So it does not matter if you are at the beginning or close to the end of a cycle there is always an opportunity to change and make things happen in order to propel forward to success! If you or someone in your circle are returning to the classroom this fall or starting a new venture you are most likely anxious about getting started and the challenges that you will be faced with and the results you will achieve. As human beings we tend to fret the unknown rather than take each step as it comes. We start our quest with pre-assumed notions that could cause us to panic unnecessarily and blurs our focus which can be detrimental to our success. If you find that you are a person that is a victim of this behavior then I encourage you to follow your curriculum as it is laid out and take it one step at a time, if you have the full knowledge and understanding of the present day tasks then and only then move onto the next step, remember don’t fret the unknown. I recently spoke with a Business Coach and we were talking about business strategies and we both concluded that operating a business is basically a formula if you follow the formula then results will be achieved. If you miss steps in the formula you will not succeed. So take all your steps in stride and we’ll see you at the finish line glowing with pride! ‘Every day do something that will inch you closer to a better tomorrow’ - Doug Firebaugh Editor in Chief |
