As I grew up in the History of the Konyaks from 1981 until 2000, the nature of the nature around the Konyaks profound amenable in many aspect. We lived without a barrier among ourselves for we grew up together in a join family cultural practice. We knew and were accessible to anything happened in our neighboring villages. We shared our cultural value, from crops to raw materials with no expectation in return. Baptist Christianity was the center of our heart, for moral and cultural values intrigued every individual to remain honest and faithful within the family and to a larger society. To borrow Rs. 100 to our fellow neighbors in their needs, was a joyous moment for God sees our loving and kindness in our both faith and action in Him. The coexistence of entire nature and human being availed without being thirsty for we help one another to wet our throat. 

By 2001, social and religious changed impinged among us, as an impact of the outside world emerged. Today, the barriers avail among us widely, the culture of sharing turn into hiring, caring into faring, community into individualist, from Rs. 100 down threaten to the challenges of borrowing a penny or 1 rupee. Fear or livelihood, Survival of the fittest (Darwin's theory), are marketing day to day live in our community. 

Hope: Despite the religious and social change in our tribe, for the younger generation, be continually attached to our rich cultural and moral value of living together as a sharing community. Get out of the fear of livelihood for we break the barriers of greed, self-centered, ignorance of fellow folks and deprivation. I say, it is not as easy as the way I say, yet, it is not hard to adopt and adapt. Comparison and retrospection of the past and the present will enormously help every young konyak to build our future generation. Having this concern, FOCUS in needed at hand, whatever each of us does, FOCUS, our Career starting from a carpenter to the well Intellectual level, FOCUS for your achievement will never go in vain for our Konyaks future generation.

Be optimist toward life, life is not about facing both good and bad, but it is more about how we handle these elements with our positive attitude and approaches. This optimism within each of us shall be multiplied among ourselves for the transformation of our own community. 

Peace begin from within. It is you and I, where we can bring a peaceful coexistence in our community. Not matter how fiercest grievances lies among our parents and clans, we find hard to forget the bad memory, but in Him, we can surely forgive, forgiveness is needed among our younger Konyaks. Bloom where you are planted, be faithful to our God and his blessings. Make use of every blessing wisely for He never cease to give you and me, His wisdom and Knowledge from above. 

Above all, God knows the best for our future Konyaks. Once again GET OUT OF THE FEAR OF LIVELIHOOD and Be faith to God and yourself. We can change our future konyak society into a better place. 

"There is always a victory to be achieved"

Peace
