"Goodbye Yesterday, Welcome Today..." by Jimmy Cliff

Jimmy Cliff sang one of his usual hits back in the 1970s titled "Goodbye Yesterday, Welcome Today" in response to an inward prompting that he alone probably had. If it did not make sense to some people at that time, it probably began to make sense to them later. I am sure that it has not yet started making sense to some people today, even though the song is old enough to go into extinction. By the way, Jimmy Cliff's songs cannot go into extinction. I have not heard any of them in years, but I still remember their tunes, their lyrics and the moves that went with them.

Why am I talking about Jimmy Cliff's song today and now?
Everything is revolving around the economy nowadays. It appears, incidentally, that some individuals are still clinging to the glories of yesterday. The train has left the station! The reminder song for that should be "It's a New Day!". I hear this song mostly on television. Only God knows what the artist had in mind while writing that song. I believe what the artist said. It cannot be any easier - IT IS A NEW DAY (If I have to shout it).

New strategies are required.
New training is required.
New education is needed.
New opportunities are in the horizon.
New networks are needed.
Greater attention need to be paid to events around.
Personal participation in activities cannot be overemphasized.
Curiosity should increase in individuals in order to explore and learn more.

The inventors that we have been learning about did not invent by folding their arms.
They were first curious.
They sought answers.
They found answers.
They shared the answers.
The world began to benefit from those answers.
What will you say when your children and grandchildren ask you in future what you did?
The ball is in your court to visit that site, become curious, click around, read all that you can read, note your questions, ask those questions either by e-mail or by phone, move yourself from point 'a' to point 'b', and let the people around you enjoy the results.
It is a new day.
Goodbye yesterday, welcome today.
