A MUST READ!!

Today, I was visited by a young man in a my office. He is a talented photographer who worked for one of the city's large churches.

His story disturbed me.

A Sunday ago,  he had covered the entire Sunday service. He had photographs of the congregation, the worship team, the arrivals, the sermons, and almost every important moment. But during the climax of the service, as the pastor prayed passionately, sweating and ministering to people at the altar, his camera battery died.

He quickly ran to charge it.

Unfortunately, that was the exact moment some congregants fell down during prayer. The moment everyone wanted captured. The moment that was expected to be posted online.

A few days later, he was fired.

Not because he was lazy.
Not because he was absent.
Not because he lacked skill.

He was fired because he missed one moment.

As I listened to him, I found myself asking a simple question:

Do miracles need photographers to be real?

Did Jesus Christ have a media team following Him everywhere?

The greatest miracles ever recorded were not captured on cameras. There were no drones over the Sea of Galilee. No photographers at the feeding of the five thousand. No videographers at the raising of Lazarus. Yet more than two thousand years later, the world still speaks about Him.

His influence was not built by images.
It was built by impact.

Then I thought about our generation.

This is the generation where a communications officer can lose their job for failing to capture a photograph of their boss greeting a visiting President.

This is the generation where a politician can dismiss a photographer because they failed to capture the perfect handshake, the perfect crowd shot, or the perfect image of people raising their hands in support.

This is the generation where optics sometimes seem more important than substance.

We have become obsessed with documenting moments and forgotten how to develop people.

We have become quick to replace and slow to mentor.

One missed photograph.
One missed post.
One mistake.

And suddenly years of loyalty, effort, and service mean nothing.

I left that conversation wondering whether we are building institutions that grow people or institutions that simply consume them.

Because every professional will make mistakes.

The question is not whether mistakes will happen.

The question is whether we will create a culture that teaches, mentors, and develops people or one that discards them the moment they fall short.

The world does not need more perfect pictures.

It needs more patient people.

At Universities Student Leaders Association-USLA as the leader in the  organization ,  I would like to build and mentor a more Patient generation of leaders  .. where did we leave Patience , compassion, empathy, forgiveness and Mentorship or there is no absolute Time?

Tell me your story on Patience cause this is a Debate!
