I met a
Cameroonian girl at the airport a couple of weeks ago who was travelling to the
Dominican Republic. I wondered aloud what was taking her all the way to that
beautiful tropical country with picturesque beaches, such a rare destination
from Douala! She told me she was in medical school there. Wow! I asked her to
tell me one amazing fact about Dominican Republic which I don’t know that will
blow me away. “DR has 365 rivers,” she said. I immediately went, “We probably
have more than a thousand rivers here, what’s so special about 300 rivers?” She
smiled and gave me her punch line, “365 rivers. That means in a non leap year,
you can visit a new river every single day in the Dominican Republic.” “Whoa!”
I exclaimed, absolutely stupefied by the point she had earlier made which I’d
missed completely. And I remember thinking, that’s so well designed! God is a
merciless architect. So as we start counting and living the days of 2014, like
a tourist exploring all the 365 rivers in DR every single day of this new year,
may it be a new journey to prosperity and may each day count for us. Right, I
put a little creativity into my own new year wishes.
