There are discussions, debates and even quarrels about: TRANSITION.
There are several generations living together in the country and there are natural transitions from generation to generation. The generation, 1930-1950, that got independence in 1962 is virtually passed on. The 1940-60 generation is the post independence one that partly still active in leadership positions but on the way out. The “transition” debate is addressing this generation. The 1960-80 generation is also partly in the generation under discussion but will be around for sometime and it still possesses skills and controls enough in all sectors to remain in the governance equation. The 1980 to the present is the restless generation with large numbers seeking opportunities and it is the one most concerned with the transition.
The most important reality is that we must be organized and prepared to manage and provide for the needs and interests of all these generations. In the absence of organization or with weak organization and weak institutions we cannot achieve much.
OLD MAN’S COUNSELING:
In this inter generational co-existence let me dare and make some observations on life values. I hope I will not be crucified for unsolicited counseling but I see many young people getting in problems because of lack of guidance.
1. There is nothing permanent in life. I have seen rich people become poor; I have seen poor people become rich; I have seen employees become richer than their former employers. In life be careful, do not be quick to judge, be fair, be kind; do not dismiss anyone.
2. When young we often make choices without the future in mind. Do not fear to change course along the way. Sometimes you miss many opportunities and many chances and many doors may open for you and you don’t enter. You may let opportunities go because of fear, pride, laziness or thinking that they are small. Take advantage of opportunities otherwise you will regret later.
3. Do not burn bridges. Many young people do not care about relationships and trample upon people on their way up; they may focus on making money at any cost. Do not mess up with bonds and don’t misuse relationships.
4. Young people make avoidable mistakes often because of lack of guidance. Thus girls abort pregnancies and regret later when they can’t get pregnant. Young men reject children of girls they made pregnant and regret later.
5. Do not get married out of pressure or for money or whatever wrong reason, you may end up with physical abuse, depression, infidelity, bitterness and court cases.
6. Do not hop from religion to religion- God is One and Good irrespective of religion.
7. Fo not mess up with your body: avoid abuse of alcohol, drugs, overeating, womanizing, sleeping with too many men, thinking that you still have a lot of time to enjoy yourself. Lifestyle indiscipline has many consequences including disease.
8. Nature (develop) your talent(s), pursue career, study hard throughout your life. Do not waste your young years in things that don’t add value or fulfill you.
When you are older you will wonder about your reputation, your legacy, what you are leaving behind and your regrets: the parents you despised; the love that got away; the wealth that you threw away; the people you defamed.
You don’t have to stop having fun when you are old; you get old when you stop having fun.
