Life is one long school of learning but most importantly where we learn about ourselves, our capabilities, our cherished ideals and how they positively impact society and the roles our lives learning plays in the grand scheme of things.
The economy is tough, very tough both at the national and global level. We can decide to see the tumbling economy as a reason to wallow in despair after-all we did not individually cause it or if we are strong, we can decide to glean out the opportunity associated with this global recession. From a business perspective a recession can be sent packing when more ideas are converted into tangible solution to impending challenges. This is not an easy process……easier said than done. But the effort is worthy of the result, it is in the process of solving lives challenges that life has its meaning, challenges call forth out wisdom strength and power to transform our environment to suit our nobles aspiration hence challenges are the cutting edge that distinguish between success and failure.
Great leaders are not held back by challenges; rather they are inspired to create solution out of the challenge.
There is a way out of this quagmire…i cannot pretend to know this way out but if we start converting out ideals into solution then the journey will reveal itself as we go along.
Seen from another perspective, maybe it is time for the globe to experience a new phase of another kind of development just like the radio, television and internet ushered in a transforming era. Being that all progress is initiated by challenges, then, just maybe, the real progress engendered by the internet is about to be born.

So, lets start thinking.
