It may be our mission,
to achieve our overall vision,
but what is that overall vision ?

Some would conclude that it is to live an honest and God - fearing life,
so that we can avoid  going down the wrong path and falling into strife.

The mission should always consist of a set of strategies,
so as to achieve your particular set goals and objectives,
one may use Key Performance Indicators, so as to evaluate,
the  plan of actions and strategic plans, that will eventuate.

Such plans should direct you on the path to achieve your individual mission,
which after all, is aimed at achieving your initial  overall vision.

What is typical, may not always be what is topical,
what appears to be topical today, may not always be typical,
one just have be very tactful and tactical,
when choosing between what is typically topical,  
and  what is typically typical,
that also applies to the reverse,
the difference is very wide and clear and that becomes  fairly obvious.

Complacency can have a  dangerous and tragic consequence,
leading to carelessness and blind ambivalence,
it insidiously grows  on you, to become your new normal,
because some of us regard prolonged COVID -19  lockdowns and restrictions, both  tiring and  abnormal.

Who are the driver or drivers of change ?
some would conclude and confidently say ,
that it is the government of the day,
some would differ and say, that it is the corporations,
that are the drivers of the changes in our nations,
still some would say, that it is the international organisations,
with their benchmarks and standards and aid programs,
to develop economies and avoid possible bedlam.

At the end of the day the drivers are just us - the ordinary people,
we are the ones in the drivers seat, and that sounds quite reasonable,
after all, as we can plainly see,
we actually drive the car, because we have the car keys !

So  fast  the years have gone by,
life now seems more difficult, despite how hard we try,
at least what helps one through the day,
is that our children  now adults, are making a life for themselves both near and far away,
we had struggled to put food on the table,and give them a good education,
so that they can be good and honest citizens in each of   our nation.

Now that they have their own lives and  daily struggles,
at least they try not to bother us each day, with their own family troubles,
but like good parents, we are always willing to help them,
even if they reassure us that its all good with them.

We are all facing trying and difficult days,
its extra-ordinary and unprecedented, as they say,
but there are still many opportunities, for us still out there,
so we will have to just remain positive and not to  despair.

So, to all our  senior citizens who had faithfully and nobly served,
to develop each of our countries, to the state it deserved,
do the best you can, each remaining days  to survive,
so that you do not end up in difficulties and in strife.

Remember, as the sun sets  in your  twilight days,
it always rises brightly the very next day,
to bring joy, when there could have been gloom,
and bring light to a dark and lonely  empty room.

Is the  reality,
that we see and feel really the actuality ?
because  reality can now be computer- generated in any form,
to produce a virtual reality, which is really a fake norm,
so what we probably see these days in pictures and on screen,
may not always be what we really think it is, or what it seems.

There are probably many possibilities, each with a different outcome,
giving many  realities that are possible, under the sun,
even what we fervently believe as cold and sober reality,
may not be really something we perceive as such to be,
it can  really be for many,  a hard ask,
because many possible realities, is just really a hard reality to grasp.

We  each need to  determine which reality we are actually in today,
lets just step back and ask the  real question this way,
is the reality we are in now  in, really  a virtual reality ?
or is the generated virtual reality,  really   the real actuality ?

We all need to soberly ponder on this real life question,
so that we can head in the real and right direction,
after carefully making the appropriate   determination,
of what is really real about the current situation.
