Building Capacity

The teen and youth ages are transitory periods. The adulthood is dependent on them and the childhood look forward to them. Major changes occur that shapes one during this period. Decisions and choices during this period are key too.

The parable of the talents illustrates a scenario of three servants- their ages not told. They were given talents which can be likened to an investment. The spotlight is on the fact that they were given according to their "ability" and not "piety." A mentor once said they were given to capacity. If piety were a consideration, the servant who ended up with one talent should have had the most: he was pious; he feared his master the most  and wouldn't want to offend him in any way; but he hadn't capacity worth investing more than one talent.

The above is an evidence that proves the fact that nobody is willing to invest much in anybody without capacity, enough to contain.

The amount of content is dependent on the capacity of the container. Potential investors and sponspors are on the look out for whom to invest; people seek whom to invest their time and pour their content- knowledge, idea and more- but they wont, except on whom they find to pass the test of capacity.

The big question: How can capacity be built?
A fact: The teen and youth age have the most suitable specification to get it done. The teen age is the most credible part of life.

The next three days, we will examine practical approaches to building capacity.
