Memory Verse: If you want to be an asset to the development of your country, think and act independently; if you want to be a liability to your country think and act like anyone else around you.

Mothers kiss their sons goodbye at the gate of their schools. Husbands kiss their wives once leaving the houses. Children kiss their parents in the houses for old people. God kisses us good night when we fall asleep and protects us with the Sandman.

Humans feel as humans and comfortable in life when loved by others: parents, spouses, children, friends, colleagues and neighbours. We cannot live by ourselves on a solitaire island but are constantly surrounded by our fellow brothers and sisters. Thinking to relocate and escaping problems with fellow humans is a nice idea subsequently ending in illusion.

The freedom of an individual is ending where the freedom of another is beginning. Who draws the line? Spiritual, moral and physical laws developing over time cultures seen in the past, observed in the present and formed for the future.

Cultures are under constant changes as Mayas, Incas, Osman’s, godly Pharaohs once were unthinkable powerful until the time emerged that there time had passed and new cultures, new values started to see the light of history to become themselves the dominating factor of the new society on the very grounds the old societies were standing. Human life is never a standstill, it is a constant journey in time destined to bring out of humans the capability to proof themselves as the heirs of GOD and being part of him. Cultures have to die in time once their strength and wisdom to change has ended.

To change the intellect of a humans is easily done via education, while changing habits and emotions requires the ability to embrace the unknown and uncertainty. Believing in GOD gives humans the emotional stability to go through a much needed transition period.

Humans are very diverse in their abilities, their emotions and destinies. While most of them are created to be followers, few are chosen to be Leaders. Effective and creative Leaders have the inner ability to stand alone among many contradicting views and opinions and do not see powerful actions and decisions as unchangeable situations, but recognize them as part of the transition process to push their Nations forward. They know that only at the end of their lives, after being called to Glory, what they did for others will be really understood and appreciated.

True Leaders follow their instinct sharpened by GOD’s word and the Holy Ghost inspiration to form ideas, visions and implementation plans with by time ever more increasing wisdom.

Someone wanting to be everybody’s darling ends up to be everybody’s fool wasting time of their fellow humans.

Democracy is a concept based on consents and the support of many inside a Party as well as outside when it comes to the point of Re-Election. It is human nature that most citizen want a life-style that is pleasing their laziness for a much needed change only to shout on the streets about the shortfalls of their Leaders.

Leaders having their people at heart and loving them as loving themselves more than anything else have to make decisive and strong decisions only based on their true inner believe regardless the consequences their actions face in the eyes of others.

Anti-Authority Education movement in the 70’s and 80’s of last century in Europe has created Teachers unable to control today’s pupils in an inner souverane manner but instead going to the extreme by punishing them in the wrong way to teach them respect, hard work for school and society at large.

Authority is an instrument given to Leaders to execute on it for the benefit of their Nations. This Authority is not only determined by Law, it is more so by the Personality within an effective and meaningful Leader. The conditions of this personal Authority has never changed over the past generations and will never ever change. The legally determined Authority to be of benefit to many in a Nation depends on location and time it is executed in.

A Leader of statue to be remembered forever by fellow humans and GOD himself, knows in his heart and soul he needs to do what is right and not to do what will please others.
