If we want the best for our country, a bright and promising future for our children, then Jamaica's wish should be that we practise frugal spending, exert great energy in creating an environment for the young to be educated, and facilitate the creation of entrepreneurship to entice local and foreign investment.

Our leaders must set the example and take the lead. Tough decisions must be made, and it's the only way. Jamaica has too much to offer the world for us to begin the next 50 years doing the same old things.
