QUESTION one usually asks is: Are there still generous individuals among us in Ghana and the world as a whole? I will DARE today say we still have some individuals who are willing to offer the little help in whatever form they can. There are people who despite the economic hardships they are facing and the level of demand on them still have the "hearts" to cater for the less privileged in society by taking care of them in so many ways.
Some of them cloth, feed, school and sponsor them in a way that even billionaires are not willing to offer in any form.
I have enjoyed a MARVELOUS help from such a wonderful person, who despite the fact that he has so many things to cater for, STILL SACRIFICES and squeezes something for me to enable me pay my school fees. The person is equally a civil or public servant as you are, whose salary is nothing to write home about; but yet he/she is able to help. How many people have you helped so far? How many girls have you changed so far and how much have you spent on them in boutiques and hotels? How many times have you paid someone's fees in the school, whether in the senior high or tertiary institution?
Do you really think you are not there yet? When will it be?
In order to build the manpower needs of our country, we must try to empower individuals by training and educating them well, rather than partying with people on weekends and during social gatherings or birthdays. For any village or town to develop, it is the human resource base which ought to be tackled. That is why as individuals, we should endeavour to put in every effort at helping people who have the desire to further their education to any level. You can start today by doing something for someone who needs your assistance in paying his/her school fees and I tell you, you are going to see the extent of GRACE that will be your portion to carry/spill over.
Equally, if you are a beneficiary of any support from anywhere, be mindful of your obligation to say 'thank you,' and to work hard at achieving the purpose for which money and resources are being spent on you. Ingratitude is the bane of Ghanaians. We must appreciate whatever government, individuals, institutions or even our parents offer us and diligently work at paying back in one way or the other. Even our creator admonishes us to; so it is important to to go back and work harder than before in whatever form as much as possible.
Whoever has helped someone before, I wish to say that you should keep it up. Whoever it is that is doubting as to why he/she should help someone, I say the returns are numerous. Whoever it is that has enough to eat and spillover and yet has not helped anyone in any good form, I wish to say you are losing benefits and protection. Whoever it is that is receiving help from people, remember you have a duty to be productive, appreciative, sincere, work hard and emulate the good things others are doing for you now. Remember others have been put in your hands to cater for them as you are being catered for now, so do not let the resources being poured on you now be in vain. Those who have been sponsored by others and they have been ungrateful, please it is not over yet. You can still help someone out there. Numerous people have been to you and you refused them help. Why? What happened? Have you forgot of where you came from? Have you no conscience that someone did sacrifice for you to make you who you are today? Then please mend the holes you have created for yourself.
I just hope that someone is touched upon reading this material and is feeling the guilt of not living up to expectations and will try as much as possible to rectify his/her shortfalls.
Thank you.
