‘If you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem’
No matter whom you are; where you come from, how you think, what you know or do in life, you are either a problem or solution to the humanity. Yes, there are too many problems in the world today and there are few solutions available. There is no country in the world that does not have a problem to solve or loop holes to fill. The only edge a country may have over other countries is the availability of relevant solutions to tackle most of the problems on ground.
Our ancestors believe that there are very few solution oriented people in the world today when compared with the number of problems afflicting the humanity. Every day, there are many problems lurking around; when you encounter them, how do you view them? Do you see problems as your setback or hindrances in life or do you see them as an opportunity to greatness? People who cry, murmur, complain and clamor about their problems in life are doing nothing other than creating more problems or alerting the few solution oriented individuals to solve more problems.
Nature only rewards us for the number of problems we have solved and not for the amount of problems we have regenerated. This explains why many wise men will continue to be rich and the reason why many poor men may never break through. A poor man is the man who lives all his life complaining about his problems and advertising his problems while a rich man is the man who listens to the poor man’s problems, works on them and creates something worthwhile out of each of the problems.
Now, ask yourself, how many problems have you created in life and how many problems have you solved? Are you usually comfortable with the way you complain and nag over the irregularities in your home, malpractice in your school, corruption in your country, inefficiency at your place of work, etc. or do you see them as an opportunity to make a difference and do something that others can emulate? Do you see yourself as a special citizen who must be fed and pampered by the government, employers or by some rulers or do you see yourself as an ordinary citizen who lives to solve problems for his/her country, company or community?
Remember, life will be pleasurable to live if there are more solutions than the problems we create. You can’t solve a problem by creating more problems, you can’t stop any war by creating more missiles, you can’t quench any fire by fueling the fire, you can’t win an argument by creating more arguments, there is negativity in arousing hostility…the world needs you to be a solution to the horrible situation that comes staring at you. Do something positive about it!
