For generations, we Malaysians, despite the differences in race, religion and culture have been blessed with living together in love, peace, joy, harmony, respect, care, concern and support for each other.
Today, situations seems to be changing, not for good though. To be very frank, looking at the present scenario makes me wonder????? Will we be able to continue to live in peace and harmony as we used to????? Is there going to be light at the end of the tunnel for us all???? What will be the outcome for the future generations???????
Everything has it's limit, so with the state election coming up in four short days are we opting for a change??????
"Change means that what was before wasn't perfect.
People want things to be better"
~ Esther Dyson ~
Many questions seem to be popping into our heads, but to make things happen we must all dare to make changes in order to make the difference!
"We must become the change we want to see"
~ Mahatma Gandhi ~
Changes takes place in every phases of our life, and yet there are many who resist change. Without change we will all be deprive of new opportunity, progress, growth, happiness, hope and wisdom.
"Without change, something sleeps inside us, and seldom awakens.
The sleeper must awaken"
~ Frank Herbert ~
Here's what Charles E. Rice, CEO of Barnett Bank got to say........
"Think of managing change as an adventure. It tests your skills and abilities. It brings forth talent that may have been dormant. Change is also a training ground for leadership. What we think of leaders, we remember times of change, innovation and conflict. Leadership is often about shaping a new way of life. To do that, you must advance change, take risks and accept responsibility for making change happen"
Good and responsible leaders brings a State or Country to achieve great heights but an irresponsible self-centered leaders brings forth disaster instead!
"The best example of leadership, is leadership by example"
~ Jerry McClain ~
"The quality of leadership, more than any other single factor, determines the success or failure of an organization"
~ Fred Fiedler & Martin Chemers 'Improving Leadership Effectiveness' ~
Anything that is stagnant tends become too complacent, same applies to the scenario of leadership in all aspect. In the case of politics, complacency will lead to negligence of the leaders which affects the state or country's growth and future developments, the needs of the people, respect and care for the people who pledge their support and hoping for a better tomorrow and many others........
Mother Theresa's precious words seems to echo in me and makes me wonder????????
"Kind words can be short and easy to speak, but their echoes are truly endless"
Many a times, "being a common people leading a simple, contented life and who never offend others" instead, we are being offended by the hush and uncalled for statements from some of those irresponsible leaders, which are then being 'picked up' by some other irresponsible people down the line....... and it goes on and on....... For information, I am one of those unlucky people who experience such a situation at one of the Government's Poliklinik in Kuching. I trust that if such a situation continues our country's peace, unity and harmony will be at stake!!!
Respect is a two way traffic and it needs to be earned! If we want others to respect us we must respect each other! This principle applies not only for common people like us but everyone in general - age, rank, authority and gender doesn't make any difference!
Being a responsible citizen, I place my concern for this coming state election. Let us all make wise decisions for a better tomorrow where peace, unity and harmony prevails in this multi-racial state of Sarawak and country Malaysia!
'May God bless us all!'
"Praise The Lord, Puji Tuhan"
