SOCIETY. HUMAN CAPITAL DEVELOPMENT. SUSTAINABLE GROWTH - SOCIÉTÉ. DÉVELOPPEMENT DU CAPITAL HUMAIN. UNE CROISSANCE DURABLE

As a society, everyone would usually look to the government for its direction, leadership and motion towards making the environment better.

While this is true, this is only the half-truth of any developed society. A developed society is a developed community where the factors of development do not reside in these arms of infrastructure, facilities and amenities but in the people that make up that community. A developed environment is a developing environment, where what was available yesterday is constantly upgraded to the needs of today by the people who inhabit that community. There is no need to validate that statement because if we only look at the trends we would see the definitions take their natural course. Being developed is a term that was coined to mean being up-to-date with modern science, biology, technology and methodologies of doing things faster, better cheaper and more efficiently. This is the reason why we have factories, industries, newer technologies and innovative ideas that create a more interesting future for the coming generations.

Education is the tool with which any environment will develop, but what is education? Education is simply the process through which skill, technique, knowledge, innovative applications and abilities are acquired by a person, group, community or society. An educated society is a developed society! Without implementation, knowledge is invalid because it serves no purpose in the construction, development or advancement of the environment. - Tanho Attah


L'éducation est l'outil avec lequel tout environnement va se développer, mais qu'est-ce que l'éducation? L'éducation est simplement le processus par lequel une personne, un groupe, une communauté ou une société acquiert des compétences, des techniques, des connaissances, des applications et des capacités novatrices. Une société éduquée est une société développée! Sans la mise en œuvre, la connaissance est invalide car elle ne sert à rien dans la construction, le développement ou l'avancement de l'environnement. - Tanho Attah

CONCENTRATE ON YOUR CANVAS - CONCENTREZ SUR VOTRE TOILE


When you believe, for whatever reason, that your contributions would be insignificant, there so much anyone can do make you believe otherwise. You cannot keep allowing the prejudices of others and society in general, to stop you from expressing who you really are. You have to continue to express yourself, put your "foolishness" out there until people begin to see the beauty, the wisdom and the creativity. Our life is a work of art that should inspire others and help them along the way. What you paint on that canvas is seen by so many that you may not even be aware of. When we are conscious of how important our life is and that it is interwoven with that of others in society, we will be more careful how we live. Your carefree expression of your life and gifts could be the leverage someone else needs to open their wings and come out of their cocoon. We are all leaders in the sense that we influence others directly or indirectly with our lives. Many are too selfish to consider others, until we see life differently, no leadership school can change society. Leaders who cannot understand this principle will have the title but their leadership would not make a difference in the lives of their constituents, no matter the training they get. The mistake most of us make is to keep looking at other people's canvas with a view to criticizing it while our own painting is left unfinished. This means that those who are supposed to draw inspiration from our paintings are left unattended. It is time to realise the importance of our painting. Let us turn our attention to our canvas and do what we alone have the ability to do to make life better for others. Enjoy your day!

TAKE RESPONSIBILITY...CHANGE IS POSSIBLE - ASSUMEZ LA RESPONSABILITÉ ... UN CHANGEMENT EST POSSIBLE


Feeling angry, sad or disgusted and holding discussions on what is wrong in the community is not enough to change it. We have to help do anything we can to help move the community in the right direction. We have to mark our opponent; our opponent is anything that is an abnormality in our community. I just heard someone say on television that change is a possibility to anyone who is ready to take responsibility. Parents and head of institutions must be ready to do what is necessary and right in order to be the example of good values and development they want to see. The people who perpetuate corruption and other societal ills are not aliens or ghosts. Regardless of the number of children there are in a family, if parents abdicate their responsibilities, their products will be a nuisance to society. A family of what people call "a reasonable number" with an absentee father and an irresponsible mother can cause more havoc than a large family where core values are entrenched by parents who take time to carry out their responsibility. This also applies to organisations and institutions, good leadership and success are not dictated by numbers, they are dependent upon the heart and strength of the leader. Business schools and leadership institutes are not magic wands, we need to mark our opponents to make sure they do not wreak havoc in our communities. Secure your space, you do not have to have a large space like a politician or a CEO to make an impact. Enjoy your day!
