Can one person really make a difference? Can an individual change the world by doing good?
We hear the wonderful words of inspiration from some of the leading thinkers of our time. Many believe they can lift mountains if they put their minds to it. It is not rocket science to think that one person can change the world if that person applies him or herself to the task ahead.
Making a difference is about creating changes that will benefit others. There will be challenges but one should hold a firm course and not be distracted. Mahatma Gandhi has said that we must be the change that we want to see.

Comments
One person may be more emphatic than others but it is the publicity that he/she receives that makes them famous and listened to. It was the gospels that made Jesus Christ well known/famous; the printing press publicized Martin Luther’s work; television made MLK, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi,Malala Yousefzai, etc. famous. It is the power of the modern media that gives a person credibility and a following.
UNTIL…..PRESIDENT TRUMP???? MSM constant negative press, the man looms bigger and bigger… the power of ONE?
Mr Narine writes some good stuff but his vertical columns make reading hard. I seldom bother to read the whole articles.
As I previously commented, it is a whole lot better to write horizontally. Please do whatever you can to fix this problem.

Emanuel, thanks. I will send the material in another version and hopefully Guyanese online can fix it. All the best.
