You are an architect. Your life is your ultimate project. Build it with diligence and prudence | Global TV

The resources you have are your time, your energy, and your choices. Every single day, you are building. The only question is: What are you building, and for whom? There are only two paths. The choice you make defines everything.
Path 1: The Smuggler (Corruption)
When you choose corruption, you become a smuggler of stolen value. You trade in money, power, or influence that was never rightfully yours. It may look like success with a portfolio of properties, a vault of gold, a fleeting sense of power. But you are building the palace with sand.
The wealth you hoard is just a memory of what you took, a story of “what you had,” not “who you were.” A stolen Rolex tells no time; it only tells a tale of theft. This path constructs a cold, silent tomb of possessions. When the tides of time wash over it, nothing remains but a hollow name, forgotten or spoken associated with shame.
Path 2: The Builder (Professionalism)
When you choose professionalism, you become a true builder. This isn’t just about doing a job. It’s about creating value and taking only your fair, honourable share from the harvest, never from the seeds.
You are the farmer who sows seeds for generations you will never meet, building your legacy not from a hoard of grain, but from the fertility of the field itself. You are the teacher who is a guide, not a gatekeeper. Your triumph is not in who you kept out, but in the worlds, you helped students discover within themselves. You are the leader who profits by solving real problems, not by exploiting weaknesses.
You build with stone and spirit. You lay a foundation of integrity and raise pillars of value. You create structures that provide shelter, opportunity, and dignity long after you are gone. This path does not just create memories. It builds a living memorial.
What is a Living Memorial? It’s Simple.
It is the well in a village, built by an honest engineer. Every sip of water is a tribute to his work. It is the small enterprise started by someone you mentored. Every job it creates is a stone in your legacy. It is the trust in a community that its systems are fair and its children well nourished.
Your living memorial is not a statue of cold, silent stone. It is the thriving garden of a community you helped nourish. It is the chorus of stories from lives you helped uplift, and the simple, enduring sound of your name spoken with respect long after you are gone.
Your Choice, Today
The monumental journey of your life will not be measured by the memories you leave in your wake, but by the memorial you become for the future. Will you be the Smuggler, whose legacy is a forgotten museum of things? Or will you be the Builder, whose legacy is living, breathing, and celebrated with respect in a progressive world?
The choice is simple. It is the choice between taking from others or building for others. And you make that choice today.
