It's time for a patriotic mindset and someday all Guyanese will possess it

A picture of the clock on my wall

I was up at 3 in the morning thinking about this article when God gave me the idea for its title and content. I wanted to go to bed but I couldn't until I got the ideas out of my head and into a place where I could easily retrieve same.

I looked at the clock on my wall which is in the shape of the Guyana Map with the Guyana Flag in the middle close to the top, and the word Guyana at its base. This clock is absolutely beautiful craftsmanship and I am thankful to the manager and staff who gave my wife and I this beautiful present.

When they thought of a gift to give us for our wedding anniversary, they knew that once it was about Guyana we would love it. They know that my wife and I love Guyana.

I speak positively about Guyana every day. I wear something that represents Guyana every day.  I represent the 592 every day whether I am at home or overseas. I promote my country every day and I have always been proud to let people know that I am Guyanese.

What I possess is a mindset. It is a patriotic mindset. It is a mindset that is essential for Guyana's development. This is a mindset that Guyanese at home and abroad must possess, and a time is coming when all Guyanese will have this mindset.

Long before President Barack Obama made the statement popular, W.R.A. Pilgrim, in his national song entitled, “Let us Co-operate” posited, “Yes we can.” Yes we can and will have a Guyanese patriotism like never before.
