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.
A
time is coming when Guyanese will no longer desire to go overseas but will desire
to return home.

time is coming when all Guyanese will be proud of their homeland, Guyana.

local product because it is a foreign product.

when Guyana will manufacture more than ever before.
