Lula ngelehw mai, ngelehw a la koy xanj...

Sometimes, especially collectively, we have interesting ideas, big dreams, and honourable causes, really. But they don't last because we want everything to happen at once, joni joni. So we start at hundred like, boom, and yay! everyone's is excited. The tweets, the hashtags, the quarterbacking, and the bandwagon effect about it in full intensity, then a sudden relapse to fifty, folks getting gradually disinterested, until everything eventually collapses, and then the finger pointing starts.

Look around, where are those activities that started like that, and those institutions that started big and had everyone talking about 'em? I know right, most of them are dead alive. Perhaps we get bored easily, but I think it is because we emotionalise to do, and then want to rationalise later, hence not too good at allowing the groundwork to take its due course. We want instant progress. We start big even before overstanding the result we are attempting to achieve, forgetting that progress itself is a process. Wye lolu la. Lula ngelehw mai, ngelehw a la koy xanj.
