100, Change, Change The World, Comments, Country, Impact, Suggestions, World
This is an appeal to all the shadow readers out there. I know I have got hundreds over of you out there silently reading this. Really need to enlist all the help I can get from you guys on this one…
How would you change a country, as who you are now?
It could be anything: a policy, a culture, a law, anything at all.
How would you do it? Post a comment with your ideas. It can be as idealistic as you want, while staying as realistic as possible. Anything at all, but it must be possible, even if the idea is only remotely feasible. I thought that perhaps each of us could inspire one another and build up this list of possibilities. This is not a political question in nature; it is social, cultural etc… The country for us could be mean as exclusive as a corporation or as inclusive as the entire world. Thus, “a country” is more of a generic term. And since we are at it, I thought to myself, “Why not aim for the moon?”
Hence here is our target: 100 comment/suggestions on how to change the country.
Let’s not hold back or be shy on this one. We must not allow our apathy silence the potency of our impact! There is no comment too small, no suggestion too ridiculous; as long as it is remotely feasible, it is worth a shot!
World changers, let us unite through our ideals!
the dreaming realist 
Let me start the ball rolling. I’ve only got two.
1) Run for presidency/prime minister. (Obama did that)
2) Start a revolution (just like the french)
Continue on with
3)…
3) Pray for our country. “History belongs to the intercessors.”
4) Do a gracious act of kindness to someone in need.
5) Share your testimony to the country
6) Influence it with your ideas
7) Submit all these ideas to the prime minister
8) Inject values to youths within my circle of influence and then beyond. (They are the country’s future leaders)
9) Go volunteer in the nurseries/kindergartens/primary schools and provide them with a conducive environment to learn their syllabus as well as values for them to be able to have a early head start in developing their skills. (Wish someone did this for me when I was younger!)
10. Start my own TV show that for once does not have violent, explicit nor fictional content instead showing real people living real lives coping with real problems and how the show can help them with those problems, providing testimonies for others as well.
grab the opportunity when it comes. don’t let any slip by. you may not see it, but you’ll know when it’s there. just like Hitler, and he influenced the whole Germany! haha my idol sia.
11) Make an impact on people’s life! everyone you chanced upon! who knows that person may be someone influencial in the country?
12)Be an ultimate opportunist. Capitalize on every chance to get people to like you, and seek opportunities to know influential people. People don’t buy into your ideals until they buy into you. Then start spreading your ideals. Use that influence to rise in power. Then use your authority to spread your ideals even further, whatever it may be. Maybe, even by having influential power, albeit the lack of authority, you can change majority of the way of how the common minds think. This would provoke the government into doing something in line with the people’s opinion and thinking(which is your ideals, ultimately) You’re never too young to do anything like that.
13)Government forums/newspaper articles/blogging are some other forms of transmitting your ideals. And as a youth, I can actually get closer to my teachers/educators and release my train of thoughts and ideals to them and try to make them accept it. Rationale behind it is is, they’d subconsciously want to try to spread it when it sounds reasonable and beneficial for them. Who do the teachers/educators spread their ideals to? The youths! It’s a ripple effect! Eventually, more youths are gonna come to know of your ideals(As keith says, they are the country’s future leaders), and to put it crudely, we’re actually capable of ‘brainwashing’ youths to conform and accept to what some political ideals we have. And if they are gonna become the country’s leaders, we would have effectively changed the country.
-(This is gonna be so cliche, but one policy I would like the country to pass is this: Secondary school education should be one which is more applicable in the working world. (4 years can rise you in job promotions big time). Offering courses that are available only in Polytechnics and such. It should be made open to secondary school students too. Ultimately, we don’t want our country to lose out to competitors; we should start intensifying our focus on talents earlier to always be ahead in the race for success.)
don’t do it through fear. don’t make people follow you because they fear of your influence. but because that you appeal to them, and motivate them
shoot everyone dead.
haha including yourself?
Yup of course
i would hope that the people are more passionate about what they do. practicality is important, but so is the condition of their hearts. after all, the people have a passionate Creator.
I’m assuming ‘a country’ means ‘any country’,so I’ll go to Africa and be a teacher to the kids too poor to go to school.
If it’s for Singapore specifically, become a forensic or criminal psychologist to help inmates, be it on daethrow or not, like how Sister Helen Prejean helped Elmo Patrick Sonnier and Robert Lee Willie.
Thanks guys! Do continue if you still have any other ideas. Next idea is number 19. Keep it up and encourage the rest to contribute as well!
19) join a social organisation to stop child prostitution
20) Love as Jesus loves, one opportunity at a time.
