I do my share

Welcome.

I do my share is an affirmative statement. I use my blog title as the title of my first posting, to remind one-self to contribute positively to society, the community where one lives. The Dayaks should not be having problem with this trait, albeit diminishing.

I do my share is to imply one is not a parasite; pays for his keep, so to speak. Jobs are aplenty if one is not choosy. And if that is no good, be your own boss. There is always a way. The Dayaks had always been self-sufficient, albeit poor.

I do my share is to imply self-improvement. Education opens the door, they said. The Dayaks know this but the target for one graduate per family as exhorted many years ago by one politician, a Bidayuh, remains unachieved.

I do my share is to imply taking a stand responsibly on issues affecting the well-being of the Dayaks, albeit our differences.

Yes, I do my share can take many paths but one has to remember one’s limitation-time, talent and treasure. These gifts, given by God are meant to be shared.

Warmest regards.
