There is a way

The most effective way to influence a race or people to develop a mindset, is to mould their way of thinking.

How do you mould the mindset of people who are set in doing the wrong things and for whom it has become the right way and the only way they know? DISCIPLINE takes away lots of variables from the equation!

There is something about discipline that affects every aspect of one's will to embark on doing the right thing, not the wrong. Discipline follows simple rules of society and life in general. Discipline makes self-denial much more easier to practise.

With discipline the impossible is possible and there is a small chance of at least trying to teach an old dog new tricks, which is normally an uphill battle.

Real change can be logically possible and systematically feasible by targetting the future leaders - the youth; to equip them with the mindset that is more or less infused into their blood, accomplished through the act of self-discipline. And they will never depart from it, because it has become part of their very being.

Why do people find it so easy to do the wrong things spontaneously in Ghana?

These same people travel to the so-called developed world and they quickly adapt to doing the right things all the time with no struggles at all. We, humans, are creatures of habit, and adapt to authority and rules and regulations which instil DISCIPLINE.

Until we find a way of gradually but effectively flushing out the negative way of thinking with a positive mindset, the future will continue to look bleak and hopeless.

But there is a way!
