‘The fear of an average man at
whatever age is the fear of the future. The future, for many, is a monster they
don’t know how to confront”.
These are the words of Sam Akinteye
in his bid to dispel the fear of the future entertained by many in his new book
“Securing the Future: Applying the science of change to drive desired result”
Sam, using simple, yet compelling
words in this book, argued that the future of every man is not in the future
but in him. “Everyone is a living magnet as well as a living transmitter. What
anyone attracts and repel ultimately determines the type of future he will
have”.
This three-part book contains depth
of wisdom that the reader will definitely find useful for everyday living.The
first part broached on the subject of foundation for a great future. In this
part, the author stressed that there is a key that unlocks the creative genius
in every human being and when anyone discovers this key, the lid that is placed
on his ability is pushed off. He went on further to say that what stops a man
from having a great future is not what he is, but what he thinks he is not.
What a man thinks he is not is the thief that robs him of his potential and
denies him access to a great future.
The author devoted the second part of
the book to addressing the dynamics of change. He asserted that it is futile
hoping for things to change. “Things don’t change because they don’t have
intelligence; it is people that must change. The change you are looking for can
only happen by changing on the inside. He further stressed that the weight of
success does not rest on the tangible part of a man- the body, but on the
intangible- the mind.
In the third part, the author
discussed the subject of nation building as a critical factor in safeguarding
the lives and future of the citizenry. He enunciated on certain laws that make
nation great and how the application of this laws provide enabling environment
for individual to thrive. Law of definition, Law of integration, Law of
engagement are among some of the laws discussed.
This book surely makes an interesting
read and applies to people of all ages.
