The Character of Champions

Writing is not an easy thing to do. Whoever thought it was does not dabble in the literary world. Even on days when I’m inspired from an event during the week, it still isn’t – finding the right words to string together coherently to accurately convey the central theme could be quite daunting.

Reinforcement

I attended a training programme recently where 'Organizational Health & Safety' was part of the topics discussed. It was structured to be participatory where one could be called at random to answer a question posed by the session leader. But inasmuch as we were provided with a notepad and a pen, I somehow 'forgot' to jot down some points. The leader realized but said nothing - or asked no question which could have 'embarrassed' me. I was just listening (or intermittently lost in thought).

It was in 2007 that the late Rev. Tony Mensah said at my church's youth anniversary celebrations that he in his priestly duties one thought he shuddered at was the idea of being like the ‘Tema signpost’. I didn't really grasp its meaning then. It was not until recently that I fully understood what he meant by that.
