How can two walk together except they agree? Now
if two people cannot walk together except they agree how much more three, four
or a hundred? For any government, company, family or association to succeed,
there must first be unity of purpose. This unity of purpose does not mean that
everybody must agree, but it means that behind close doors the groups meets to
harmonize.

Now that word,
harmonize, is a much misunderstood word. Harmony does not mean that everybody
has the same purpose, but it means that everybody’s purposes are brought
together and through a process of give and take, a common thread is woven that
encapsulates everybody’s agenda and when this is presented it produces an
effect that is pleasing to the group and those it wants to serve. Both
Christians and Muslims agree that God created the entire world with His words.
It is something we
can all agree on and in agreeing to this, we agree that words are creative.
They created the atmosphere of the world and they will create the atmosphere of
our individual worlds. This being the case, we have to be careful, very
careful, about the words we speak because if we agree that information is
power, then the management of information is power and its mismanagement is
weakness.
So often, many of us
do not realize that the words that emanate from a leader and his surrogates
must have credibility because those words affect everything within the domain
of that leader. Every word that emanates from a leader is a promise. Don’t
believe me? Try to get the British Currency. On every British Pound note you
will find this promise ‘I Promise to Pay the Bearer the sum of’ £5, £10, £20 or
£50. The promise on the British Pound is made by the Queen of England who
happens to be the Head of State of the United Kingdom
