Every generation has it defining moments; ours is here! We can’t control time but we can manage our lives and impact the world with the investment of our excellent personalities. Our greatness is not in the definition of our assignments, but in the quality of our spirits and the excellence of our character.
This is coming on the heels of very difficult and complicating circumstances that have engulfed our nation. We are at the time of our lives when we must be able to distinguish between want and need. It is no longer business as usual compatriots. Brace yourself!
This is the time for extreme prudence, wise conduct, frank talk and continued and persistent refocusing and redirecting of our human and material resources to ensure continuity and presence in every sphere in the land that we love. Howbeit, in the midst of all these vicissitudes, God’s promise for us is sure. {Jeremiah 17v8}
The world is reading Sierra Leone wrongly. The world has not seen Sierra Leone yet; what they see is the apology of the alteration of the documents of our founding fathers. Yet, the sacred creed lingers still in our hearts and our conviction grows stronger to make Salone the envy of the world.
Limitation means nothing to us. Impossibility is a word that is not found in the dictionary of a Salonean, for the new Salonean believes whatever good crosses his minds is possible to achieve. Thus, he takes responsibility for his life with God’s help, because he has consciously realised that heaven helps those who act. This makes the rumbling in the sacred chambers of his heart be:
“One with a faith that wisdom inspires,
One with a zeal that never tires,
Ever we seek to honour thy name.
Ours is the labour and thine is the fame”
Step out of the shadow and contribute positively to the progress of Mama Salone, compatriot . . . the future starts now, maximize every moment!
Let’s build our own!
