Chronic short-sightedness is one of our biggest Achilles heels. It is not an exaggeration to say that far too many who have been entrusted with great power and responsibility over many decades have totally failed to embrace and facilitate timely innovation. Professor Patrick Lumumba, renowned African scholar and director of the Kenya School of Law, in one of his famous public lectures, submitted that if African societies are to be successfully reimagined, given the burden of colonialism, it is absolutely necessary to ask: Whose box is this?

Where did it come from? And, why? Translated, he means African peoples have to begin to think differently, unconventionally, and from new perspectives. Here at home we need more leaders to adopt the kind of mindset encouraged by Professor Lumumba. I believe we have the ability to create pathways that are suited to our needs, and are, simultaneously, regionally and globally relevant.

Beating the odds. An enduring example of a Jamaican who used his genius to create a pathway suited to our unique needs, yet also regionally and globally relevant, was Thomas Phillip Lecky. The 12th of 13 children, he was born on December 31, Early accounts of his life say he had a natural love for animals. He spent an immense amount of time playing with, examining, and asking questions about animals.

Life was hard for young Lecky.

I think our Order of National Hero should also be conferred upon Dr Thomas Phillip Lecky.

Tilling the soil was back-breaking work, primarily due to the absence of mechanisation. However, his upbringing in Swift River, in western Portland, was greatly advantageous too; in that he developed numerous and invaluable life lessons. Thomas Phillip Lecky faced and overcame huge obstacles during his life.
