A Trinbagonian's strength is his character
Thursday, July 7 2011
I could write a book about what is wrong with Trinidad and Tobago, but I could fill a library about what is good about it.
My friend and colleague Nigel Wall had this up recently as his Facebook status inspired by Charlie Tremendous Jones accomplished speaker and writer (with over 5000 seminars under his belt and over 1.5 million copies of Life Is Tremendous in print).
Most Trinbagonians feel they have a firm handle on whats wrong with Trinidad and Tobago and how it could be fixed. Many talk day in day out about how bad Trinidad and Tobago is becoming and all the woes we can look forward to in the future.
At a recent business seminar, I heard one of the local speakers, with reference to their ISO9000 qualification, talk about taking his business operations from a level of trini to a global level. I dont think he meant anything bad by saying that but is this how we think of ourselves - that raising our standards means escaping everything trini and becoming something else?
At that same seminar, the keynote speaker spoke about our national anthem being the most beautiful hed heard in all his travels and life. I started to really think about the words in our anthem and to see and hear it with beginners mind as if for the first time.
Forged from the love of liberty, In the fires of hope and prayer, With boundless faith in our destiny
Hope today is usually used as a synonym for a wish. Yet hope is far more tangible and powerful.In his book, The richest man who ever lived, Steven Scott describes hope as a belief well-founded and confident a specific vision (goal, desire or promise) will be met or fulfilled in a specified period of time .
How can you have a "well-founded belief confident that a specific vision will be achieved" if you do not have a specific vision? If the visions and desires are vague rather than well-defined, you can not win or maintain any real hope of achieving them.
Yet the anthem clear vision of Trinidad and Tobago. Filled with faith and looking towards the future with hope we will work together side by side and commit our efforts to continue to grow in this beautiful twin island nation of ours.
T T Onward Future - News
Now please don't tell me how naïve I am to what's really going on in TT and ask me if I doh read the papers. I am well aware having been held up in Chaguanas and had my car stolen in broad daylight at Nelson Street, Port-of-Spain.
Today, major teams attend, leading riders compete and household names can be spotted spectating in the TT paddock. Some thought the event's future could be under threat after the Centenary celebrations in 2007, but nothing could have been further from

The Gonskas: Onward with 2011 Deployment!
Since my last post, as always, things have changed so much! Brent is the fourth month of deployment with the USS Bataan. I am so proud of him, he is spectacular. So far, it has been to Italy, Spain and Greece. I hear it almost every day and all miss much. However, the time will fly and before you know it will be back with stories of the sea so many years. As for me, I'm here in Norfolk with the kittens (less Osiris fleeing) to wait for Brent to come home. I am now busy with all my friends and hopefully a new job in the near future (fingers crossed!) I was home in CT for awhile and enjoyed seeing my family and friends. We did alot together! But man it does not get as hot in CT as in VA.
