Everyone who has contributed to this community has invested a part of themselves in it. You have put some bricks in this cyber-institution’s foundation. You have helped create something original, something that has not ever existed before in the known world. Our parents couldn’t create it, because the technology didn’t exist in this form, but they created us and endowed us with the environment and the tools to become who we are. We have the responsibility to do the same for the next generation, for our off-spring, in spite of the fact that we have to fight and scratch for every nickel and dime to ‘survive’. I’ll repeat that. We have the responsibility to create and endow our children and our children’s children with the environment and the tools to become who they are supposed to become, so they can do what they’re supposed to do. And we have to do this despite whatever challenges life has presented us, whether they be financial, social, physical, spiritual or psychological. The future accepts no excuses.
The immediate future for the BIA community holds such great promise, its almost frightening! We are on the threshold of some absolutely awesome adventures!
if we summon up the courage, reach beyond the moment and seize upon the time.
How do we accomplish this? By BEING EXTRA-ORDINARY! If you want something, you have to ‘see’ it first, because you cant get what you cant visualize; if you want to accomplish something, you have to ‘become’ the person who CAN do it and then do it. Be, do, have. To ‘be’ extra-ordinary, we merely have to be ordinary people doing a little extra. When a group of ordinary people do a little extra together (collectively), they become extraordinary and accomplish great things! We are one step away from greatness, one step away from being able to leave not just a legacy, but a concrete institution with material substance for coming generations, one step away from a cyber-community like the world has never seen, like our people have never imagined! We are one step away from greatness, but we must embrace it, claim it and not be afraid of it. The power of greatness will not overcome us, for we have the wise ones among us, who will keep us on an even keel, teach us how to be humble with their examples of audacity, uplift our spirits and help us with the healing of our deeply wounded souls. We can do this, yall; we can take this step to greatness and know the brilliance of success! It is our time to do this; it is our right to do this; it is our have to do this.
