Most people wish they could be in place of power in order to change their communities. We do not need to wait that long. We all have power to start a change process. The power is near you - in your mouths and within easy reach.
Whenever you open your mouth to speak you are creating a culture. You are either reforming or deforming the nation. The cumulative of the words people speak in a nation determines their national culture and psyche. To change our nations, we have to change what and how we speak. We cannot keep talking like a colony and hope to create our own identity or space. We cannot lampoon business people and hope to be a great entrepreneurial giant. We cannot disparage our cultures and hope to win the admiration of others. I wish there was a better way to say this: WE are our own worst enemy! The moment we face up to this reality, we can start on the path to change. This applies at all levels. Until we take responsibility for where we are and what brought us here we will never go somewhere else. When words have not changed, life remains stagnant and boring. The time for change is now - change your words my friend!
