It is apparent that in this digital era, there is a
consistent inclination or shift from the physical aspect of performance to the
mental minds. In his book, “Mental Independence”, renowned motivational speaker
and inspirational writer Wale Akinyemi states that “the battle field has
shifted from industries to the minds. The head worker will rule over the
hardworking hand worker.”
The point I am trying to drive in is that there is incessant
wave that is taking over the globe that challenges individuals both the youths
and adults to think “outside the box” and come up with something innovative
that can transform and bring change to our society. Great thinkers like Albert
Einstein indulge himself into thinking which ultimately made him come up with the
theory of relativity in physics.
The mastery of mental ability and its application can be
phrased as the capability of creating things where there is actually no demand
for them and later you turn them into absolute necessity. For instance, in the
past there was no electricity thus nobody demanded it since it did not exist.
But after the great invention by Nicola Tesla who facilitated development of
alternating current, electricity actually became a necessity both for homes and
industries!
Actually, in our current diverse and dynamic society, if you
are not putting much investment in your mental thinking, stagnation coupled
with a normal boring life will intrude into your life. However, once you allow
your mind to open up and come up with something new that is innovative, you are
actually destined for greatness. For instance, the founders of OLX Fabrice Grinda and A.C.F. Oxenford (shown above) saw the opportunity that underlie especially when
people have accumulated things that they no longer use. By using the internet
platform such people can actually dispose them and in return obtain some gains.
I have come to understand that mental
thinking can actually change the perception of how you view things; by
identifying solutions to some issues even before they become problem. I was
amazed to learn that Sweden were able to use garbage (which can become a
serious problem to some countries) to generate energy. More surprisingly was
that there was a time they were encountering shortage and had to start
importing! This is the kind of thinking that our current society needs.
As I conclude, let’s aim at bringing
transformation into our society by inducing our minds to think innovatively and
bring the change that we want to see in the world. You got to think big!
