Life is a seed. What you sow is what you eventually get out of life. Many nations are faced with myriads of problems today, ranging from civil unrest to disease epidemic and family breakdown; all because a generational vacuum was created. The older generation failed to transmit the virtues and the quality of life they enjoyed to the younger generation. Today, young people are looking for true mentors and role models to pattern their lives after, but the painful truth is that they are scarce. It is now everyone to himself and God for us all. Such was the state of the Jewish race when such generational gap was left at a time in their history. It was recorded that people did whatever they felt like doing (Judges 21:25b MSG. Anarchy per excellence! Those who enjoyed free education in their days are today making education almost  impossible for the masses. As a result, many young men and women roam our streets with no quality of life, they are nuisances both to themselves and the society. They remain unemployed and unemployable making them ready tools for all forms of vices.

You will agree with me that being born with a silver spoon is not synonymous with success in life and being born with a wooden spoon is not synonymous with failure. Success or failure is a product of self- discovery. All a man needs is an enabling  environment for his potentials and talents to thrive which is obviously lacking in our society. The vast majority of our people dwell in the ghettos and sub-urban areas with little or no social amenities; yet therein lies the greatest of our human resources. Today, many global heroes, superstars and record-breakers are living in total obscurity. They are like the proverbial plant spoken of by Jesus Christ which finds itself growing in the midst of thorns; as it grows it discovers that a limitation has been mounted against its full manifestation. Ignorance, poverty, negativism, poor health, bad orientation among others, are potential thorns that can choke a man's destiny.
