Human life has got a pretty much big lesson to learn from cement. A lesson worth learning especially if you are a leader.

We all have seen how fast and easily an impression is made on cement when its just laid and wet. we also notice that these once quickly made impressions stay on them forever. These impressions define them. Human life is like cement, in young age whatever that happens around us is absorbed easily and the impression is made. Your family and social background, the character, believes and values of your near and dear all affect and shape the future you!
Children who live with parents who act disrespectfully or even worse to their parents will mostly do the same to them as they grow up.The man is what, how the child was raised.
Realize that children are like wet cement every time you interact with them or in front of them, it makes an impression very hard to change. As these kids grow old its like the cement getting harder and harder. What they learnt in childhood stays. Making impressions now is hard but rewriting impression once made is harder.
It is possible to change the situation and build a new you. It takes a lot of dedication, hardship and interest. An interest to change and be a new you. In my case my God did that for me and am forever thankful to him for that!
You might be a tiny cement hut, but tiny cement huts don't survive in this world. You might be a mansion, whatever you are a tiny cement hut or a mansion as long as you are not a castle, work on and build a castle out of yourself. Strong and rooted. Build the gates strong and high. Only let people worthy enough get in, and make impressions on you, make sure they are good too. Surround yourself with the right people as i would like to call them - fortresses, for many reasons. Castles made of cement adorned with impressions of beauty and goodness not guilt and fear stand tall, stand strong. Peace.
