Do it now!

Do you have an idea of how the problem in your family, school, organization, community, school fellowship, nation etc should be dealt with? Then, you are the one everyone has been waiting for all these while. Do you think you can effect a change where you are? If your answer is in the affirmative, then, you are the candidate everyone has been expecting all along. The best you can do to help yourself and the people around you is to birth that idea now. If not, the consequence may not be only enormous, but an eternal loss.

When Dr. Ben Carson, an American neurosurgeon and the Director of Pediatric Neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, wanted to separate the Binder twins who were joined at the head and shared part of the same brain in 1987, many felt it would be an impossible mission, since previous operations to separate twins joined in this way had always failed, resulting in the death of one or both of the infants.

With all the odds staring at him, Dr. Carson, after series of tests and consultative meetings with his team, carried out the operation and it was a huge success which transformed him, his career and his organization. That singular operation brought fame to Carson, freedom and joy to the parents of the conjoined twins. It also brought hope to many who were in such dilemma.

Most of the time, when we talk about giving, many people believe we are talking about money. However, giving is far beyond our legal tender; it includes giving the ideas, talents, and every good thing that makes you.  This is more edifying than giving a sum of money which may never go anywhere in bringing about a relief to the affected party.

For example, if you have a thought on how a crisis should be resolved or you have an answer to a difficult state of affairs and you refuse to share it with others, it is pointing you to one direction, you are selfish.

When we have an idea and we keep it to ourselves for no just reason, then we are self centred. Life becomes dynamic and quite interesting when we share our dreams with humanity. Before the television became visible, it first came as an idea to someone. It was after much thought was given to it that the fellow began to work on it and before long, television was invented and uncountable numbers of people have benefitted from this innovation.

One now wonders why anyone would know the way out and choose to die with that knowledge. I don’t know if you have heard someone say this to your hearing, “I know how to solve this problem, but am just waiting.” Waiting for what? Don’t you know that time waits for no one. Believe you me, while you stand or sit at your tarry gate, many lives might be lost while things may go out of hand, oh! You’ve got to bring about the solution now! Do it now because tomorrow may just be too late.

Are you ready to start that project, then, it’s time for action. Never wait till you have every resource within your disposal, just go ahead with the few you have. You may falter a bit, but you’ll sure get there. Do you want to pick that form for your academic pursuit; you need to hold a business meeting, then, go ahead. Don’t delay again, you have wasted enough time. You may think you are young, but time is not on your side because someone who is younger than you is somewhere doing exploits to transform this world for better. What are you waiting for? Come on, do it now!
