The Mind of A Game Changer II

  It still starts out the same, pursuing the numerous tasks we have scheduled for the day and for our mornings to  take off after having a quiet time with Abba Father. The morning just couldn’t get any better with the “dumsor” craze being one of the moments one has to wake up to. The criticisms and endless complaints pertinent to the country’s power crisis never gets old each time the glowing bulb snaps out or perhaps the interruption of a television show or telenovela which has kept us glued to our seats hence forgetting that most of the activities on our to-do list depends very much on electricity. From the charging of our Smartphones to the powering of the very corporate firms we work,all of which thrive on this basic commodity

  Reminiscing back to the early years of liberation, when Dr, Kwame Nkrumah of blessed memory put onto the railway of reality, the establishment of a hydroelectric power project to muscle the then rising industries which could have helped the nation to literally attain self sufficiency now. Hmm.. I don’t know what happened but I believe the contemporary look of things can attest to the fact that we went wrong somewhere. If the project was to render power to the then industries and its affiliates, what then would have been his proposition to serve the human populace? A visionary leader as he was, I am pretty sure a much sustainable form of electrical power generating mechanism was on his wishlist. Perhaps the engineers of that epoch were limited by the caliber of technology they had likewise expertise as Science and Technology was still evolving. This could have probably been the reason as to which “The Second Phase” of the Power Generation Project in the country was not able to take flight.

   In this present day, where enlightenment has fairly risen to encapsulate the world we live in moderately gives us leverage in technological advancement  over the folks of the mid nineties. The case however does not look so in the Sub Saharan region, particularly Ghana. Unpretentious powercuts at the moment when one least expects it is still a perforation to the upward mobility of the county’s economy. I believe the days of complaining should be drawing close to an end with citizens not always expecting what the government can do for them but rather what one can individually do to rally round our country. The premier step should be a change in attitude and habits. A country which happens to have majority of her citizens possessing a bad attitude is like a car with a flat tyre, it will not move forward until it is changed. Psychologists may also say that an activity continuously indulged in for averagely a forthnight could synthesize with the individual to become a habit.(a habit is something that you often do regularly without thinking about it because you have done it soo many times before) These two are hard to change especially when one is accustomed to them but are also not impossible to.

Lets take note of some of these bad habits today, create a target which will guide us to unfasten ourselves from them and commit to always fulfilling this target daily. With the little effort we put in, I believe we will be on the path to reviving the economy of our beloved country. Long Live Ghana.

    My false experiences were all appearing real. I called them fears and the moment of truth came where I had to take a path alone.
   Adrenaline rush through my bloodstream as the pace of my heart doubled its steps, and now whispers from the dark aroused a deep sensation, "Hold on we're leaving home." I was too scared to turn... What!!! My thoughts and feelings were all mixed up. I reckoned, there was no place like home but life begins out there.



                  I faked a smile.
  I walked in a child, walked out a grown up. Ready to face life coupled with its ups and downs. One would say, just like a rollercoaster. Before I knew I was drowning when emotions flooded in. Sweeping me off my feet as I was above.

 Here I stand, at a place not known. Where everyone dealt in corruption, with me dealing with pride. So many times have I been drunk from the several thoughts that run through my mind. And a realisation of independence merely made me a modernized slave.I remembered the handkerchief waving goodbye. That did mean a lot; make it in life but genuinely like a bird leaving the nest. I asked if it was worth it but no one will respond.


 What if at the end,they thought I absconded. My hindsight, the recognition of my realities, possibilities or requirements should simply be out of the range of the description of words..
  I'll make it!!!!

The Mind of A Game Changer

“That’s seemingly impossible” virtually has become the words uttered in conversations where new developments are aimed at being nurtured. This, thus slowly kills the panache with which fueled one to set his thoughts onto the track of reality. To the ingenious, those words are hardly “dream killing” but rather continue to inspire him to even prove why he believes that his dream can be actualized. This would be on the contrary from the perspective of one who follows the crowd where the words, “It is impossible thrives”

 We live in a fast paced world where technology seems to be taking over most of the things we used to do. From having competent secretaries who always break their backs to make sure that their bosses don't look like failures at meetings as compared to having personal assistants on our smart phones which can remind us of our pending meetings and those special people we haven’t called in a while. The wives are in support of this advancement because their husbands would not get to be tempted by their so called secretaries.  Somewhere around the world, technology coupled with other forms of energy is vigorously been researched upon as to being a way of generating power to at least taking care of the power demands of a house where most of the kids are growing as digital natives hence heavy dependency on wireless networks, tablets and smart phones. I guess the story is otherwise in Ghana, Nigeria and some African countries where her citizens have to struggle with having even 12 hours of electricity. This leaves the populace to go in for generators and power plants which is also costly to maintain. Reminiscing some moments back at Senior High School where some students managed to generate power from wood ash after a chemistry lesson. “WOW!”.. was mostly what people who saw what this new discovery could do exclaim .Talking of charging phones, lighting bulbs and charging lamps.  Impressing ain’t it?

 

 As a maverick, I sometimes prefer to do most of the talking in my mind and imagine what it will be like if it actually sprang into reality. Usually beginning with #WhatIf, I realized that as far as one is able to dream of it, one can surely do it. The words once uttered by Leonardo Da Vinci and I quote, “Nothing is impossible to achieve although may be difficult to do so” has been the catchphrase which encapsules me against the dream choking words of people who are stuck with the perception that, some dreams just cannot be realized. If the director of Iron Man 3 could actually come up with a scene and act where billionaire playboy and amazingly intellectual, Tony Starks invents a new element although being fictional, then I believe that engineers in Ghana are capable of postulating environmentally safe structures which will one day lead to every region in Ghana being capable of supplying its inhabitants with 24 hours power and using that from the national grid as backup to any region which at one point or another may have to cut power supply for maintenance works to be done. And again an advancement  such as this could help render more jobs to the various ten regions  as unemployment has also become a rising challenge in the country. Resolving the energy crisis we face will go a long way to avert downsizings oftenly opted for by companies and organizations which cannot bear the cost of operating large power plants. This, in the future, will not contribute to the unemployment margin.

  

 Some may have jokingly said at one point in a casual conversation that they wished the Queen of Great Britain will probably send a governor to rule over us again. “Perhaps, things will be far better”. It is never too late to elevate Ghana higher and to put to place, things that are supposed to be.  Long live Ghana.
