Happy Birthday Honorable. I wish you a long life and a very fruitful campaign in Shai-Osudoku. Consider this message to you on your birthday. The constituency is now a shaky seat for the NDC but there are certain things to be done before you can sail through and it is now or never. You just need only 6,000 votes to add to NPP 6,991 ALREADY in existence to win the election. So how do you do it?
How is the NPP strategizing to make up to this numbers? This is what you should be looking at! The difference in the numbers.
Indeed one solution is to win Kpessa’s camp heart, you have to propose love to them like the way you badly need a lady until you grab her.
Change is very difficult in our community, but honorable, "Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for change." ~ Johann von. “Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.” – Leo Tolstoy. Listen to what is happening around you, what people are saying and take it in good faith and act towards it Asap!. Those you can change do it, those you can’t leave to God or do something about it.
“Be the change you want to see in the world” – Mahatma Gandhi
The only things you can control about other people's actions are your reactions towards them.
I am no different from the rest of you in this respect – in fact; I am probably more likely to claim this statement. Ever since I realized the mass potential of our lives, I’ve sub-consciously carried a mission to change the dangme land and especially the voting pattern and I want it to be more of a swing one and not that kind of stronghold one and leave it a better place than when I found it.
However, should i re-think?
This desire to change the voting pattern in the Shai-Osudoku all sounds very brave and noble and grand. But is it possible? Is it really possible to change the voting pattern, to make huge differences so that people hail you and shower you with praise?
Yes and no. Hon. I am going to explain with a famous story which you might have heard already but if not then read on.
The Starfish Story
There’s a story of a man throwing starfishes into the sea, which I’ll do my best to remember for you here:
An elderly man was walking along the beach, admiring the beautiful view. As he walked, he noticed that a large group of starfishes had been washed ashore by the receding tide, and they were struggling to get back to the water. The man was saddened by this turn of events, but accepted that there was nothing he could do to change anything.
The man walked on, continuing to notice the large numbers of helpless starfishes, until he saw another man in the distance standing at the water’s edge amongst the starfishes. Curious, the elderly man walked over to him, wandering what he was up to.
As he got closer, the elderly man could see that the younger man was picking up starfishes, one by one, and throwing them back out into the sea. Astonished, the elderly man got close enough for the other man to hear him, and then he called out.
“Hey! What on earth are you doing?”
The younger man turned to him and smiled, then turned back to the sea, still continuing his duty of picking up and throwing starfishes.
“I’m helping these starfishes get back into the ocean.”
The elderly man couldn’t believe it, why was this man wasting his time throwing starfishes back? There were thousands of them here, it would take him days! He voiced his thoughts.
“Why are you throwing them back? There’s thousands of them here, it’ll take you forever! How can you possibly hope to make a difference to these starfishes?”
Remaining calm, the younger man continued his duty without looking at the elderly man. Just as he threw another starfish back into the ocean, he replied.
“I made a difference to that one.”
The moral of the story sums up my point about wanting to make a difference in the voting trend in Shai -Osudoku . You can make a difference to individuals, even to groups of people. A rare few of us may even influence whole communities and societies. I rest my case here and enjoy your Birthday.
