Hi Patriots,
You know trying to help ourselves and our people change the way we think is a mammoth of a task...some (in fact many) say it is impossible because we look at this endless sea of people with a fixed mindset and a reinforcing culture and environment. The negativity seems endless too!Is there hope??
I read yesterday about the hopeful perspective of Mother Teresa who faced a massive mass of humanity living in despair and was often asked how she could change this. Everywhere you look in India there would be a hungry, despondent, dying soul..and endless sea of them. What could she possibly do? But she didn't look at the overwhelming mass in despair and get discouraged. She considered that every time she rescued a girl from prostitution, fed a hungry child, cared for the sick and dying, she considered it as sutracting from the despair and adding to the hope. Now that attitude there is "HOPE".
That's how we consider this move of Operation Senisim Pasin. We don't consider the negative mentality of the majority of PNGeans to be overwhelming. But every time we inspire at least one person to think differently and embrace a new mentality, we are subtracting from the number of people with negative mentality and adding one more positive, value-adding citizen to the citizenry. That gives me hope that this nation can change.
So don't be overwhelmed with the negative and stubborn mindset of PNGeans, but consider the hope of subtracting from that despair and adding one more person (maybe yourself) to the number of PNGeans with hope that we CAN change the way we think...and in fact we are already on that course.
God Bless Papua New Guinea!

SEA OF HUMANITY
Hello Patriots,
Yesterday I was chatting with the President of PPNG INC., Mr. Henry Osembo and he mentioned something that I thought was very inspiring n that I should share with you.
He mentioned how someone had told him long ago that our lives must be able to positively impact society. He said our lives must be like a river flowing down to impact the sea of humanity.
Its a truth that we cannot escape. Our lives, are like those streams and rivers that flow into the sea of humanity..affecting it. We never notice how much impact the rivers have on the sea with a simple observation. When a river flows into the sea we don't know how much higher the sea level rose, or the salt content of the sea or whatever...but there is no doubt that the river does contribute something to the sea.
In parallel your life is a river that affects this sea of humanity. it can bring life and enhance the quality of the sea...or it can be a polluted river that harms the sea by bringing what it contains into it. The choice I guess is yours...and mine.
No matter how much we'd like to deny it, each of our individual lives affects humanity. It affect this country....and it DOES affect the world.
Mr. Osembo's and my hope is that more and more PNGean lives will be positive rivers that positively affect the sea of humanity in this country.

Constant Positive Information Changes Minds
Hello Patriots,
You know I don’t think many of you read these messages. But I do hope you do and will. We don’t send them based on that. We send them out because we think this is our small part in helping PNGeans to change our mindsets.
When asked in a recent radio appearance about how we could change the mindset of PNGeans I said people need to receive the right kind of information. They need to hear positive things and they need it constantly...
I would love for every person in PNG to change the way we think. But this won’t happen overnight. It’s probably like water beating against a rock. But one thing is certain. As sure as the constant flow of the water in a river beats against a stone and eventually makes a dent, the constant hearing of a message can eventually change the minds of the recipients. I just hope you don’t take yourself away from the flow of positive information... from these such messages, or through the media or some other medium such as books etc.
That is what we are trying to do in Patriots PNG...to spread as much positive information around as regularly as possible so that we and other people of PNG can experience change in mindsets...and then a change in our rock-hard ATTITUDE...CHANGE CAN HAPPEN...one dent at a time.
