OF IMPERFECT AND PERFECT NATIONS

No nation has attained absolute perfection. In other words, there is no nation that is 100% perfect. The difference is that while some nations are steadfast at reducing their imperfections, some others continue to increase their own imperfections.

Every country is blessed with all that is required to succeed but for some nations, the citizens lack the right mindset, will, determination, innovation, sense of oneness and sacrifice required to highly maximise available natural resources, human resources, financial resources, intellectual resources, cultural resources and spiritual resources for common good.

This is the reason some nations that are not richly endowed with natural resources whose citizens are very rich at heart and cooperative at working together for common good usually flourish better than some of the nations with favourable climatic conditions, surplus natural and human resources whose citizens are poor, divided and evil at heart.

Without sound mind and smooth working relationship to achieve a common goal among citizens of any nation, there cannot be great achievement.

To have excess of all natural resources in your country is not enough to birth a prosperous nation if majority of your people don't value diligence, creativity, accountability, patriotism, justice, fairness, love, goodness and collective prosperity.

What make a nation great (or fail) is not lack/abundance of natural resources, small/high population, no/single/multiple religions, one/numerous race/tribe/ethinicity and language. It is well meaning, willing, committed, industrious, innovative, truthful, rightful, accountable, fair, patriotic, excellent, loving/lovable and united/unified people that make nations great. Any people without such positive value/virtue get their nation stuck.

If it is impossible for any nation to attain perfection, it is possible for every nation to greatly minimise their imperfections. Consistent massive reduction of imperfections sets a nation on the path of greatness and perfection.

WHY NOT YOU?

Sometimes ago, I was discussing with someone on the need for every human being (including the person and myself) to be creative, innovative and productive to further make life and living easy, pleasant, enjoyable and fulfilling across the world.

To buttress my point, I asked; "how would it have been if inventors/creators of all value added services, products and inventions failed to task themselves to deliver such creativity, innovation and solution to human needs when they did - since nobody asked them to do so?

Definitely life would be far difficult than it has ever been but I was shocked to the bone marrow when the person answered: "if they didn't, some other people will do". As correct the answer may be, it is still very shallow because it has an exemption of the person in the task of innovation.

So, I asked; "why are you not among those other people you claimed will invent/create all the things that were created if their inventors/creators didn't?" Then, I waited for a response from the person but there was none.

The truth of the matter is that, very many people around the world shared the same mindset with that person and I hope you are not one of them. Most people feel others should create while they should only consume. They never think about bringing forth new services and products. Even they don't get inspired and propelled to be creative by their most challenging problems and needs in the world.

I put it to you this way; whatever you need/seek that is yet to be, place a demand on you to timely make it available wherever you are instead of complaining and blaming others for its unavailability.

If you expect someone else to invent, why not you? If others had recorded innovations, why can't you? You have not brought forth an invention, innovation and solution because you don't think like it. Perhaps Mark Zuckerberg didn't fixed his mind on connecting people via internet, the world may never witness the birth of Facebook.

I submit; you too can create new things of great value to human life. It will greatly amaze you at your creativity when you unleash your latent creative/innovative ability. All there is is not all that should or could be. To die with those amazing inventions locked up in your loins is sheer wickedness. Just imagine if there is no electricity or internet or aeroplane or modern medicine or ..... Then, imagine what would become of the world if you don't give birth to the best inside you for the benefit of mankind.

PAY YOUR DUES, EAT IT'S FRUITS

Whoever faithfully pays his dues, is highly qualified to enjoy it's fruits in the fullness of time without hassle.

What investments have you made (or are you making) on yourself to be at peak performance in life's endeavours to continually attract, earn and enjoy full dividends ("pressed down shaking together and running over")?

Best result don't answer to poor effort.

Inconsistent performance and commitment don't produce abundant harvest and enjoyment.
Wasteful habits don't make rich.

A man cannot stay there doing nothing/less (or wasting resources) and expect his turn over to be excess.

If you are prudent and diligent at what you do, you are worthy of the rewards of diligence which nobody should object, query or condemn.

Never criticise whoever is lavishly enjoying the fruits of his good labour even in recession (that could be traceable to envy and jealousy on your own part). By the way, the person is not responsible for anybody's predicament. All you need do is to take clue from how he had denied himself gratifications, maximised resources and worked/working with all his might over time that made him to rise above lack and want so much that he can afford anything anytime anywhere. By so doing, you too can rise to such higher echelon and flamboyant enjoyment that knows no recession.

'Pay your dues, eat it's fruits' is a natural and universal law that nothing/nobody can alter, but can only respond to in agreement. It is just like saying; "what a man sow he shall reap".
