Staying in it to win it, is the real test. Presently in
Philadelphia gun violence is at an all time high. The
education system is a joke!!! With this knowledge
economy that we are in, education is a life long learning
event, unfortunaltey many youths don't see it like that,
and for those who see the pattern and play the game,
with all the education and money gained, they don't
care either. So to the aim of waking people up, these
are some things that I'd like to share and bring to the
attention of whomever, in the hopes that they may be in
a position to implement some of my hard thought ideas
on how to make impact, with results in today's world.
1. Don't confuse motivation with progress
2. Treat Human Beings good!!!
3. Conversation is information
4. Looking the part and virtue isn't enough, must be
patient, it all comes down to changing lives
(others and yours also).
These things come by way of my observation. I was in
Japan for 4yrs, and as an African American I discovered
that many in the world don't consider me an African
American but an American. In this discovery I saw
deeper into our American situation, observing how we
look to the world at large. Very scary picture. I'm a
Christian, but I think that the Christian right is the worst
thing happening to this country!!! All in all I see the
ever growing movement of Globalization as a mental
event, that is why I am expressing my hard thought
ideas, because if we as human beings are to survive,
we must learn how to appreciate, cultivate, and
cooperate.
