Blame game futile
LIFE is not easy; it has never been easy. The “blame game” always take things from better to worse, because these no accountability. And where there is no accountability, maturity and progress will always be compromised. As a nation of the Republic of South Africa we have recently faced more difficulties, challenges and obstacles. Most of the problems we face today have existed before, but they were under control. But today these problems are rising up because we fail to set priorities.
We can debate as much as we want, but the fact is that the “blame game” had never resolved anything in life, it has never improved any nation. And we have to agree that challenges and difficulties have always existed, even within great nations on earth. I still emphasise that we should learn to prioritise, we can’t resolve and achieve everything at once. Somewhere somehow we should be realistic, as the old saying says; first things first.
As a nation we have to identify, analyse and prioritise our problems accordingly. By so doing we will avoid neglecting issues that are urgent, such as unemployment,a poor education system and corruption. These problems are among the list, but very severe in my point of view. We should set our priorities straight, “to avoid running around like headless chickens”.
We should do so with a clear understanding that no nation is perfect. But if we do our level best to redress what matters most our outcome will always be a success.
We are approaching Nelson Mandela international day. And he was and still is a perfect example of setting priorities.
The late president Mandela knew he could not achieve or do everything at once, or alone.
The old man did what was best, what he could, and what was necessary at that point in time. That seems and sounds like being able to prioritise. So as South Africans, it lies on our shoulders to do the same. To individually or collectively do our level best to influence a good and beneficial change were we can, and were it matters most. This Mandela Day let us not just volunteer for 67 minutes, but let’s pledge to prioritise and effectively contribute in making our nation a better one.
