OUR CHALLENGES AND OUR POTENTIAL
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Every day that meets me come along with its own challenges, some kind of repetitive, and others completely. Honestly I am not aware of the challenges that lie ahead of me but the one thing that I am certain of is my unquivering faith in my creator and my potential. Challenges do not come our way to overthrow us but to taste us and each time we fall at the feet of these challenges; we ridicule God because He has given us everything we need to survive. Even a woman with little or no breast milk succeeds to feed her child right? Just like our slogan – AIESEC’s – rightly says, it’s up to you and me to device our very means of survival. Nonetheless, we should always remember that the hand can never stretch more than the bone that is inside.

The means of survival we device greatly determines what awaits us down the road. I completely agree with Patrice Ngenang, a Cameroonian novelist who in his novel Temps des Chiens or “Dog Days” out rightly says that “Man is a fox for man”. It is cruel and unthinkable that our very survival depends on others. We overcome our daily challenges by consciously and unconsciously tramping and devilishly feeding on others like wayward chacals in a hellish abyss thus confirming the thought that man is the only untamable animal that God ever created. It is undeniable that we need each other to over the challenges come our way but are we complementing each other in our collective efforts or thievishly pouncing on each other because “it is survival of the fittest?” I have read of people and know of people who have blatantly tried to strive beyond the bounds of human achievements, people who have blindly set no limits to their desires, people who have never kept within the bounds of reason but their waterloo has always being the same, their spittle falling back on their very faces.

Pittacus, a Greek writer who lived from 569 – 650 BC once said that “the measure of a man is what he does with all the powers bestowed on him”. The potential that we possess to survive natural and man made challenges are inherent. Also, Erasmus, a Greek philosopher was unarguably right when he once said that “no one respects a talent that is concealed”.

All we need is a moment of reflection, a deep thought, a collective action and the bones of our hands will be longer. It is going to be more than one hand, more than one mouth, more than one head, more than ten fingers, more than one potential and before the dawn of a new day and a new era, humankind will be moving mountains, filling trenches, building bridges, constructing tunnels, uniting to defy self-centeredness, standing in unison to out rightly decry pride and low self esteem, shouldering each other in a one family course, acknowledging our prowess, identifying and transforming our weaknesses into strength, setting the machinery of progress, igniting the system of sustainability and remembering that come what may, our course is justifiable, our intentions crystally clear and our FAITH steadfast and unshakable.

Appearances
Translated into English by: Awa Innocent Ndah
Once, I read somewhere that the lies we carry are worse than those we speak out. We spend our time making beautiful and doubtful promises about being prepared to die for others beause we love them. None of this is known to others except us. It will be worthy if we remain simple, humble, real and conscious so as to be accepted by the persons in us before those around us.

The Joy of Being
Translations available in: English (original) | French

It is good to dream because dreams give us a push when we think all hope gone. Nonetheless, I believe that if we try to find joy in being who we actually are, there will be no need in deploring what we can never be. By accepting our personality, a positive one of course, we will learn to appreciate the kindness of God and put our capacity in moulding it.
