step by step

When significant moments in history happen, you remember exactly what were you doing at that exact point in time. So 30 years from now if I’m still here, I would remember exactly what I was doing when Barack Obama delivered his victory speech in Grant Park in Chicago in front of about 200,000 of his supporters.

On the 5th of November (4th of November in some parts of the world), he became the change that he has been professing for almost two years. Change has come to the world’s remaining superpower, a distinction they may lose in no time, if change as world-shattering like this, hasn’t arrived. But as most would say, this is just the beginning because a lot of work has to be done or undone. But what a start this is.

As the Chinese proverb goes, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. But this step is no doubt one giant leap for mankind.
