Well, many thanks to the discovery of the internet, the social media, and the creation of www.blogspot.com. Actually, the idea of expressing myself in various forms of essay is been long borne. However, yours truly left the vision to linger until this day. In order words, we are now experiencing a rebirth of a vision which we hope to grow, develop and mature to something much fruitful and tangible. I shall try to publish periodically.
Today's topic is centered on value creation, recognition and enhancement. Somebody once said, that "if you returned to a place after a long time and nobody noticed your absence, then you weren't meant to be in that place in the first place". However true this statement might seem, I would like to shed more light on the issue.
Yes, at some point in our lives we might have found ourselves surrounded by people who don't share similar values with us, but for the fear of being left to work/walk alone, or for the fear to be left to rather confront our true realities, we chose to remain in the circle; and are meant to receive treatments for compromising our true feelings. Be not be deceived, you cannot be an eagle in the midst of chickens, no matter how similar your features may be. That is why when you see things being the eagle that you are, they cannot understand what you, and that is simply because you do not fit.
"Birds of the same feather flock together", they say. Another cliche has it that when you "show me your friend and I will show you who you want to be". Can an eagle continue to live as a chicken? or As an eagle, do you want to become some chicken? Why prefer to walk only, when you can soar? You cannot afford to be carrying value and be flocking around people that don't recognize your worth? Remember that time far spent cannot be regained. If your absence is not felt, then your presence perhaps was not needed.
In much part, know that people of value don't struggle to be accepted, they only change rhythm and are accepted. The former is labor intensive, while the later is intellectual. Last time I checked, laborers are not the richest paid people on planet earth, but the people who work with their brains.
Do you carry value within and want to be accepted? You can only impact a people you are called to change. As you make a revamp, also remember to CHANGE YOUR RHYTHM.
Yours truly,
Henry Chike Okonkwo.
