Mindless Bureaucracy must go!
File A signed by Boss 1
Sent to boss 2
Boss 3 corrects and gives to secretary
Secretary effects correction and returns to boss 2
Boss two sends to boss 1
And that may just be the beginning!
Organized and built to function well
Seamless and a brilliant idea
Except of course for the corruption that now hides underneath its seams
A huge time waster it has become
Feet dragging causing all to move at snail speed
What is this bundle of organized wreck?
That hinders progress
And makes one sweat beneath an air conditioner
How come so much work is put in with minimum output
How did we get stuck in this time killing, energy sapping and development crippling system?
Get me right,
It was meant to be good and it was good
Made the system work effectively
But it isn’t anymore
At least not in its original state
Why can’t we just upgrade already?
It’s the technological age
Why crawl when we can fly
Why adhere religiously to rules and regulations that have outlived their essence?
Why do the right thing at snail speed allowing room for it to be contaminated
At this rate, my grand kids may grow grey expecting progress
Change begins with me, I knoooow!
But remember that for change to be effective, leaders both in the public and private sectors must engineer it at their various levels
Levels that I may not be able to affect yet
It’s a combined efforts you know
So if I’m asked, i'd say, let’s do away with that which no longer works
And make effective that which produces quality results
Transform the hard dusty files into soft intangible one
To hell with these boring unproductive procedures that leave one retardarded
Why do the same thing over and over again expecting different results each time
Agreed this is just a part of our challenges
But believe me, it’s a huge part.
Give one senseless man too much power and he holds the whole system to ransom
It cannot be as it was in the beginning any more
If what worked in the beginning doesn’t work anymore,
We must be brave enough to move on
For we can’t put new wine in old wine skins
A new age demands new methodologies

Part 1
The quest
Deep deep deep, I like
Shallow shallow, I dislike
Open minded people, on point
Rigid paradigms, very faulty
I have grown weary of the circle
A circumference of meaningless repetitions
As it was in the beginning so shall it ever be
Says who? Why?
Haven’t you heard?
Nothing means anything except the meaning you attach to it
But until your mind receives revelation the real definition of meaning doesn’t exist
Doesn’t anyone bother to ask why?
Isn’t that the reason we have brains?
But no, we don’t ask
We would rather not
So we keep up the monotonous circle
With same results in view
Same results that have kept us stunted
Same results that have deprived us of so much
Yet we stick to the status quo
For fear of being tagged ‘rebel’
For fear of making mistakes
When already we live in a pool of them
Meaning cannot be inherited
We must find meaning for ourselves
But until our minds receive revelation, the real definition of meaning doesn’t exist
The day we summon up the courage to challenge this pattern
Is the day we start to live
It’s the day we start to learn
It’s the day we start to understand and to grow deep
Grow firm because then, we would have real answers
Not carved solely from someone else’ experience
But also from our own encounters and personal revelations
The ones we experience and grasp
For what is revealed to us remains ours
Anthony Robins said
"Nothing in life has any meaning except the meaning you give to it"
But until your mind receives revelation the real definition of meaning doesn’t exist
We must attach meaning
So we can go passed the shallow
And dig deep for ourselves
Test all that we have received
Seperate that which is false from that which is true
Discard what’s false and stand firmer in the truth
Then with open eyes and clear mind
Bring meaning to this circumference of life
It shouldn’t be just a circumference after all.
Rather, one full of the meaning we discovered ourselves
The meaning you discover is that you are willing to stand by
That you are willing to stand by must be your own revelation
For Nothing means anything thing except you attach to it a meaning by revelation
Grab the meaning out of life!
