🆕 blog! “Two Way TV - product photos of 1997's hottest gadget”

Back in the late 1990s, I did a brief stint of work experience at the BBC. One of the most memorable moments was sitting in on a meeting about early forms of Interactive TV.

                    Everybody is looking for something special and unique in our world of influence to humanity. To lean on and build hope of a good day with current situations they might found themselves. Toward enrich themselves or Nation economy, citizens has an equal role of their own leadership capacities that is not only to be for government alone. In other to reduce more burden on government.

                    Some Nations are developed today because of the contributions of their own citizens without laying heavy burden on the government of their nation.

                    During my studying days, in one of the neighboring country then before changing my Nationality as an American citizen.

                    In this country, every citizen has their own role to offer government the opportunity of their own leadership skills and capacities. One day we want to cook for lunch in the house. So I was thinking to myself that we have to go the nearby market place to get some food stuff as an African.

                    To my surprised, we are asked to go the farm house garden where we can get what we needs for the lunch preparation. So we did that and the lunch was prepared.

                    Then I said to one of my friend then,

                    I thought we are going to the nearby market to get these food stuff and he said to me that, here in my country, home has small farm garden to support the family for family use alone and if it is for commercial value, we have to go the market to get that. This way is to support the income as a family in other to build dream and hope.

                    Developing human capacities can not be given to government alone because citizens has their own contributions to the development.

                    As I was saying about my experience toward Nation building purposes. I was in one of our University studying center to study in Europe before I became an American citizen.

                    There come this day the students are watching TV NEWS, about an erosion that destroy the goiter in the community. I saw how erosion had damaged the road which makes me wonder how this will be fixed as I said to one of my friend with me there that day.

                    That it will take a while before government we come fix this road and the goiter been damage by erosion.

                    Quickly he replied me,

                    No, the people in that community can wait for the government to come because its what they can do themselves without waiting for the government to do that for the community involved. They we have to contribute money to fixed the goiter and the road then forward the bills to the government to reduce it from the annual taxes.

                    ” You can only start the journey with your contribution toward building a nation of your dream with your own little coins”

Self-centered leading can never gives a better result or desire want of opportunity we long for in every organization. Even to the creation of a family we kind of desire to live for.

                              Success require strategies that can be attributed to the instrument of enhance capacities involved. At the same time to associate with the growth of national interest of Nations. Creating capacity in human work force as leader of a Nation needs adequate strategies to succeed beyond the former administration to reach out to the heart of citizens. Everybody can not be a born leader, and each born leader needs to be trained as a unique strategies to bring out the inner abilities to a better governance of people group.

                              In as much, each trained leaders need a strategies toward mentorship process from past successful leaders as way of submissions to learn out the classroom phase of life and thinking outside the box.

                              Army does not go to a war without a strategical plans to win the battle of defending the national interest and value of their Nation or win the coupe of overthrowing the government of their own country if their desire is not met.

                                        Cross-writing was a writing technique commonly used during the 18th and 19th centuries to save paper and reduce postage costs.
                                        It involved filling a page normally, then rotating the paper 90 degrees to write directly over the original text.

                                          Every day things never be the same as Lorena is working hard to support her family after the death of her husband James. She understood the place of hope and a better day has well, she can’t just stop dreaming to see her children Katy and John have good education in the absent of their father. Her working hard makes the kids knows the value of their mother and this gave the kids they same reason too, to support her. Has they also have the knowledge of the absence of their father James.

                                          Lorena believes of a better day and a better opportunity. As she save to own a house someday to better support her children. Then she start to save every little coins towards a goal of owning a house to move out of a rental apartment.

                                          In the same way, like of every government of every countries depends on structure because every failed governments lack structure for their government and her citizen. That’s while some people believes that democracy had failed them and they will rather look for another system of government like military or communist

                                          Today, some countries leaders are leading their countries in communist disguised system of government because the past administration lack structures to value every citizens toward a developmental goal of their countries.

                                          For a good governance to citizen of every countries there should be adequate structure which supported the interest of citizens

                                          Lorena had a determination toward success in the absent of her husband James and she also makes her children believes they can make it, to move out of a rental apartment to their own house.

                                          People needs a leader who can make them believe even though they don’t want to believe or gives a try for another day of dreaming.
