Whenever there is a paramount event that should keep this country at bay with the progressively working things, the downtrodden start to kick in and show their fangs while talking about their wonderful mouths and huff credentials ("We are truly experts." I said Yes, you are, we are not fighting THAT spectacular portfolio; just back it up with solid and sound policies that trickle down to that poor kid mussing her hair with lice because that is fun, revo work) and doomsday predictions.
I figured, this is done to save their skin from being whacked. Despite their mass, they have not truly propelled a truly gratifying path to evolution: how the transformation gets spread, done and implemented. It is not that they lack comprehension, they are geniuses for crying out loud but, they are truly better off as hecklers more than being effective workers. They are good at picking on people with good track records in leadership while failing miserably to parry the vanishing fund conquests within their means to gatekeep.
They also create confusion and this is what I could not get: they routinely deface.
The reason given is: they contribute to the betterment of the country by not presenting their alternative options. Perhaps they have not been in the board room too long to conceptualize the immensity of a good platform or good work? Perhaps, flirting with students and acting like famous buffoons is better? I think that is their key point to an invigorating country---pure imaging.
This is understandable to say the least. Before the proclamation during the last election as essayed well in this blog, these vehemently intoned voices started camping on the streets and hollering at this poor writer like centipedes on the loose. I slept through that since the clock is ticking anyway. They likewise defaced some walls.
The fixers of this willed dirt, however, painted them clean, without fuss, to scrub the areas already vandalized for no reason except that their cause died by the rowdy and purposeless means they had employed it. We do not need howlers this time: we need pairs of hands, with firm backbones that excite so much for work, to keep this country moving in this digital era.
That is all we need to hear. How well have you implemented the plans before? If they had worked well, you wouldn't be in a bad propaganda fix right now. All you need is a nod.
Forerunners to growth take the bite of grinding it at the saltmine more than eating the produce of the saltmine.
