As Humans and then as Christians we are not to be hasty in making negative judgments on others. It is a dangerous procedure because it invites a similar judgment in return. And it is a difficult procedure because our own faults make it hard for us to see precisely what is amiss in others. God is not, of course, forbidding all judgments; He is warning against the hasty condemnations we are so easy to make…SJS

We want Change, We cry for Change, But yet we do Not Have the Zeal or Appetite for a Change; Mind You Not Everything That Is Faced Can Be Changed, But Nothing Can Be Changed Until It Is Faced; Action and Reaction, ebb and flow, trial and error, Change – this is the rhythm of living. Out of Our Over-Confidence, Fear; Out of Our Fear, Clearer Vision, Fresh Hope. And Out of Hope, Progress. If you don’t like Something, Change It. If you Can’t Change It, Change Your Attitude And Stop Complaining….

My Vision and hope is to make the future generation equipped with the knowledge and skills that are necessary for them to be at level with their counterparts in the most advanced countries of the world. We must make it a priority to develop standards In ICT which specifies minimum requirements that should be adhered to by governments organizations and businesses to ensure consistency in practices, projects, procurements and outsourcing for security and development. “MANPOWER EMPOWERMENT STRATEGY FOR JOB CREATION”….
We should enter the world of science and technology aggressively, and at the same time preserve our cherished cultural heritage and values which is what we seek to promote and sustain. We are in an era in which the world is equipped with a deep knowledge and enthusiasm about ICT technology. We should think more of the future and our children and reminding ourselves of where would we be in ten years’ time? We should create for the future generation an enabling environment where technology could be used for good governance, transformation of the society, thereby creating hope where there seem to be no hope, upholding a high standard of moral and ethical social life. This is the only way we can give back to the youths and many others an opportunity through ICT the life they were denied…SJS

GOOD AND EVIL-HE OR SHE THAT HAVE NOT SINNED OR HAVE BLOOD ON THEIR HANDS, LET THEM CAST THE FIRST STONE!
Why is it easier to think of evil examples than good ones? Is it much easier to do something big and bad than it is to do something big and good?
Due to the complexity of our human personalities the fact remains that goodness and evilness depend on the perspective of the time. No one, I repeat, NO ONE, is born either purely good or purely evil. As humans, we are all born with the potential to perform acts of both great goodness or great evil. At birth, we are all “blank slates,” and our lives and experiences end up drawing on this slate, molding us into the people we will ultimately become. People who have warm, loving parents who teach them openness and love will naturally become more open, loving people than people who are brought up to hate. My point is, it is futile to try to put a label of good or evil on any individual, as everyone is capable of acts of both good and evil, and nearly everyone tries to do the right thing based on their own both local and worldview, which is different from person to person.Instead, we should judge the ACTS that people commit as good or evil, since those are somewhat easier to put a label on when it is based on a situation evolving lacking the respect for the rule of law. Judge the action, not the person.

MY MOMENTS OF MOTIVATION
One Hundred Years From Now…
One Hundred years from now it will not matter what kind of house you lived in…
What kind of car you drove……
What`s your bank balance was……
But what will matter is that you were important in the life of a child.Being a man or a woman is a matter of birth. Being a man or a woman who makes a difference is a matter of choice. When we honestly ask ourselves which person in our lives means the most to us, we often find that it is those who, instead of giving much advice, solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.
It is only through the eyes of others do you see yourself. It is only through the work of your own do you find the difference in others….

MY CONCERN IS SIERRA LEONE NOT AFRICA OR THE WORLD:-Our Singular Efforts and Contribution Keeps Humanity Alive. It is the pieces that makes the aggregate in economics jargon. The journey must start somewhere for everyone of us. The bible teaches us to fix first the problem in our eyes before we can complain about others. Let us rebuild our country and then go and Build Others With Our Capacity….SJS

WITH HINDSIGHT
If some of us should take a few seconds or minutes of our time to read the review of ELECTIONS in SIERRA LEONE since 1957, http://africanelections.tripod.com/sl.html you will be very amazed at the tabulation of events. We Sierra Leoneans and nobody else have been the master of our decay and tribulations that has befallen us and continues to hunt us as a nation.
I do believe sincerely we need a CHANGE to FAST-TRACK our democracy to meet modern trends and demands. No more need for COMPLACENCY and MEDIOCRITY. It is not helping the country, but rather worsening and aggravating the present situation. We need all hands on deck for a UNITED DEMOCRACY not a FRAGMENTED POLITICS based on partisan-ism, tribalism and sectionalism…WE NEED A PARADIGM SHIFT FROM THE OLD GUARDS AND FROM THEIR WAYS WHICH HAS NOT BEEN BENEFICIAL TO THE PEOPLE AND THE COUNTRY AT ALL……There are many brains wasting because of intimidation by circumstances, the many bullies and advantages taking place in our society. This has been the strategy by the politicians to keep CHANGE AWAY FROM THE PEOPLE…Everything has an end and GOD is on our side as a Nation…The wicked shall be removed from the face of the earth by the hands of the Almighty, in only him we have dedicated this course into his CUSTODY FOR A NEW SALONE…
IT IS GOING TO BE WELL- AMEN
