If Anything To Keep The Going, Be In The Routine.

Today's society is a society of nothing but a catalog of problems. Everything is a problem in its form and thus, everything we do is geared towards problem solving. You and i are therefore trying to be the solution. Yes indeed we are the solution to today's society. All that is needed lies within us waiting for our consciousness, acceptance and application.

Acceptance because, one must accede to an idea, proposition, belief or opinion before he or she can use it. It is through acceptance that we possess something.

Consciousness in that, one must be aware of a power, a knowledge or anything before he or she deems it necessary or not, before he or she can use. Your ability to be conscious of some power or an idea can not be possible witnout the mind and once the mind is included, the function of such knowledge is sustained.

Application in the sense that no results have ever been produced out of the application of nothing. Every power therefore springs from application.
It is completely necessary to put this trinity together to become the solution of society.

Out of the nature of society are people who complain, cramp in pain and talk more than they act. This emerges from the fact that their problems are already swallowing them. Fear grasps society now in the mind, body, soul and spirit rendering them reluctant in taking actions. It has become some sort of belief that to try is to fail and to fail is to add up to already existing problems and thus reverting the normal orderly process which ends up yielding zeros.

In an attempt to put all people at the same level, society employs the tool of negative criticism to condemn everyone who takes a step to overcome a problem, brings new invention, brings a change or anything new. Lack of patience and the ROUTINE spirit and downhearted in spirit galvanized and strengthened and propels this attitude of society forward.

The nature of society should not be your reality and nature. It is your inherent gift and ability to know, accept, be aware, understand and apply this innate potential to build today's society. Withal, to be a true solution requires the capacity to arm yourself with some basic principles viz values, ideas, beliefs and positive strongholds. Such principles must be not vulnerable and incapable of withstanding criticisms. When fear is get rid of, the routine becomes intact and the going is kept no matter the storm from society.

Interesting enough, all that is condemned and criticised by society becomes acceptable by society when the going becomes successful. When the steps taken journeyed to an arena of victory, the society that rejected and never believed in you shall follow you because you have become a solution. They will no longer fear or underestimate you but admire you even when you depart from this earth plane. This is a social phenomenon- new invention, change, criticise, routine, success and accept. Think of Edward Jenner, Socrates, Plato, the Christ, Buddha, Burbank, Kwabena Frimpong, Apostle Sarfo among numberless millions, all passed through this cycle. It is a very old cycle and satisfies the Solomonic words "nothing is new under the sun". Therefore, be in the routine to keep the going.

Let Me Share My Story With You

In 2012 and 2013, i was teaching Mathematics and Integrated Science in a private school at my hometown, Seikwa. There were four teachers including myself at the Junior High level and i was the new teacher among them. Also, i was the amateur as far as exposure to the classroom was concerned. I completed Senior High in May 16, 2012 and joined the teaching in the same year June 1. I had the desire to proceed my education in China or Cuba in 2013 and was also determined to leave a legacy in the schooling i was teaching.

In the beginning of the academic year in 2013, i had a discussion with the other three teachers to do something new on Fridays. Fridays were stipulated for free periods for both teachers and the students, starting from 12:00 noon till closing time (2:30 noon on Fridays). I suggested we used the first forty-five minutes after 12:30 noon for a quiz or a debate every Friday.

Shockingly, their responses were very discouraging; my friend relax for you just came and you do not know this grounds. Here is not a pleasant institution to be and stress yourself. Besides, how much is your salary? Do you think your stingy proprietor would be pleased to give you an incentive for your hard work? My brother relax.

We are neither doing it for the proprietor nor the headmaster but for the benefit of the students and the indelible marks we might inscribe here when we are gone. Before i finished, they all had left the room.

I discussed with the teachers in the primary school. Out of six, one agreed with me. With the help of my elder sister who was a trained teacher then, we planned and started the programme. While we did debate or quiz every Friday, the rest of the teachers play draft, ludo, cards and involved in other fun activities. We became their laughingstocks and were tagged "the serious two"

After three weeks from the start, most students invited their parents without our knowledge. Some parents started joining the programme every Friday as audiences until it came to the attention of the proprietor and the headmaster.....That was the beginning of good days and fruits we harvested then.

To keep the going, always remember the human fist. When tightly closed all the fingers lie together quietly. But try to raise one without any support or an attempt to control the rest, one or two of the rest also raise a bit and not fully up, but followed up completely with time.

This is the like of today's society. Many people want to remain calm together. When you want to live differently they stretch their necks to observe your effort and only will you be followed when succeeded. SO BE IN ROUTINE TO KEEP THE GOING I SAY.
