Hi Patriots!
Max De Pree writes in his book LEADERSHIP IS AN ART, these words: "The corporation can never be something we are not".
Its true for the nation as well. Our Nation can never be something we the people are not. We cannot demand that our nation be progressive, and less corrupt if we are not willing to take step in that direction. (Of course it takes leadership to get the people to move in that direction but that’s something for another post)
Our Constitution opens with the words "WE THE PEOPLE". Not only does that phrase provide the basis for our democracy and the power of governance; in my view it prophetically puts down RESPONSIBILITY on the shoulder of WE THE PEOPLE OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA. Ultimately WE THE PEOPLE are responsible for either the demise or the prosperity of our country. No matter how much we yell and scream that some foreign power, people or element is driving us into the ground, it is Us, you and me, that really stand in the way of this country's greatness.
You may not identify with that unless you appreciate that you and I, carry the weight as integral parts of "WE THE PEOPLE".
Effectively what this all means is YOU and I, since we are the Obstacles to this country's progress, are the most potent SOLUTION for its progress. Only when we accept that We are the Problem, can we move on and BECOME the Solution. Without knowing this truth the majority of us automatically remain national liabilities.
Take some time to think bout how your actions or inaction affect the progress of our country. A politician may toss a million bucks in a year down the drain. But if 6 million people each toss a kina a day...?
Who really HAS THE POWER? WHO REALLY ABUSES THAT POWER AND WHO REALLY HAS THIS NATION IN A NOOSE??
WE THE PEOPLE OF PAPUA NEW GUINEA.............................CHANGE STARTS WITH US!
God Bless PNG!

A saying goes ... 'to change the whole. you need to change one person at a time.." Ganjiki's email clearly expresses these sentiment. The movement statrts with us the elites, people who are aware of what's going on. It is us that influence our fellow citizens to pursue the part of justice, make rational decisions and choices.
History cannot be corrected as it past down the horizon, however the lessons of the past can provide guidance for the future. May we not only continue the awareness of change to every corners of our great nation, but also live the change as surely, a time is coming when our dream of change we'll be put to reality.
Martin Luther, after years of leading the American Civil Rights Movement, stand at the helm and proclaim, "I have a dream, that oneday, my children will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character.." and surely enough, the dream came to reality.
Friends, we can also stand proud and proclaim, ''we have a dream that oneday, this country (PNG) will not be under the yoke of corrupt leadership but under the leadership of God-fearing, democratic man and women..!!"
"Change We Can Dream Of "
