The First Decade of the Twenty-first Century

Each century is composed of ten decades. As I am writing this, the sun is setting on the first decade of the twenty-first century and rising for the second decade of the twenty first century. And it has not been an uneventful decade.

It is a time to retreat, rest and reflect on the past decade. Its time to smile again at the blessings and contemplate on the lessons. Hopefully, pondering the interaction of the blessings and lessons of the decade will make you the stronger.

As we stand at the threshold of another decade, we must be mindful of the potential that the new year and decade brings and equally be determined to make the time count by creating and taking up any opportunity to create legacies for posterity. Remember as it is said, that time flies but you are the pilot.

God bless you.
