Flashing
back to my olden days and trying to recall the ups and downs of life. I always
keep asking myself, why the rich are rich and why the poor are poor or why some
of the poor eventually become rich and or why the rich become poor. Despite all
the outstanding hurdles that surround us, there could be one major factor that
not many people may take seriously.

While
attending the face the citizens debate in hotel Africana, one of the musicians by
the name of general mega Dee (not real names) who graced the function said
that, “the world is a troop of people, the best thinkers occupy the best place”
I certainly wondered how many people took him seriously or because he was shabbily
dressed, his words came to pass.
The
way we think determines the actions that we make and the actions that we make exactly
portray what we do and what we are in our capacities. What thoughts always govern
your mind, how do you think as an individual and how best do you utilize your
thoughts?
Sometimes
we dash into actions without being analytical and critical in our thoughts. Outstanding
people in our communities are just not people who think big, but think and act
outside the box. Your own thought can either make you not to believe in yourself
or believe in what you feel you can do best.
I
know that it is certainly not easy to match the standards of renown people like
nelson Mandela, William Shakespeare, Karl max, Winston Churchill, Chinua Achebe,
Wole Soyinka, or young entrepreneurs like Wilson Tugume who have impacted the African
continent with their programme “inspire Africa” to mention but a few. Of course,
we can al not think of being presidents, social critics or renown writers, but
our thoughts lead as where we think we can be and what we want to be when we
are right there.
It
is upon that that we are rational individuals should change the way we think
and act or else we face the wrath of natures law of natural selection where the
best adapted will strive and the less adapted shall be wiped out. Change the
way you think today and you will have changed your life and the future to come.
Be mindful of what you fill your mind with. Not anything that comes in to your
mind is fit for your life. Behave and act like a sieve that sorts what should
go through and what should remain.
