Commitment

The problems facing the world today are enormous and our dear country Nigeria is inclusive. This will require the efforts of millions of people especially you8ths like ourselves to work together to overcome these problems. The question now is; will such an endeavor occur in one day? The answer is that change begins inside oneself. One of the great change agent from India called Mahatma Gandhi once said, ‘be the change that you wish to see in the world.

Every one think of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing themselves and their immediate environment. Yet once and individual is committed to change and acts upon that commitment, their development and progress will begin.

Commitment according to the dictionary is being bound emotionally/intellectually to a course of action to another person/other person.

Commitment is an attitude; it is a psychological frame of the mind which motivation people to work towards certain goals. So far anyone to have commitment, they must have a positive attitude. Negative attitude is one of the major reasons for non-committal approach. Commitment is the key ingredient for improving quality and productivity. It is one of the key to excellence.

My fellow corps members, I want us to choose a cause to which we will be willing to commit ourselves to, just as we are currently serving our father land, Nigeria.  Collective commitment from every one of us will go a long way in bringing the better country or society we desperately need. It’s not enough to take action I we must commit ourselves to every action we intend to take.
