HOW MUCH IS ACTUALLY ENOUGH

                                                 

A man once went on a journey to a strange land and then on getting there he discovered the people were drunks and were willing to give out the land they had in large swathes, but there was just one simple rule which goes thus “you can keep working to wherever you wish to get to but you must return to your starting point before it is dusk or else you lose out on the whole land.”

Seeing how fecund the land was the man kept working and at dusk he had not gotten to his final point of satisfaction. At last he was content and was about returning to his starting point when he was exhausted and worn out, eventually he died and this aide of his had to dig six feet and  bury him there.Here comes the much ambiguous question-''how much land is enough''?

‘’Oakland” as this vicinity is fondly called is a land that has no pre colonial history discoverer like Christoffer Columbus and pre-natal antecedent that can boggle the mind of its tourist. But the vicinity as a whole portrays an array of characters and potentials that can be brandished and exhibited.

In spite of this fecundity and fertility that it boasts of, it still remains a place where goals of attainment and pursuits of glory do not measure congruently with efforts and vibrant strategies. Permit this article not to be mistaken for the perfect figment of pessimism, portentous tremor and apocalyptic foretelling.

Goals can be achieved when pursued with vigor and focus because Henry Thoreau said “if you have built your castles in the air no problem that is where they should be but just put a foundation beneath them.” but here appears to be a place where you aim at launching into the moon,but fall back to the top of the mountains, but considering the plight of fellow snipers you are a hero.

Business ideas have failed, academic goals have crumbled, spiritual energies have been drained and mighty dreams have been turned into the worst of nightmares. But one thing still remained that the occupants of this Promised Land (for first years) have always struggled to beat the dead lock and won.

But now as an emerging army of entrepreneurs, we must make here an abode and a treasured domain of uncommon possibilities and if others can, we can. The words of Lee Kuan Yew former Prime Minister of Singapore “if it took the communist in China nothing to root out all the fleas and sparrows, we can transform our nation from third world to first.” It then means for us we can if we decide we could.

Wishing us the best as we write our quizzes and assessment tests.
