  • Speech: NAAA 2018 Awards | January 2019
    It’s not where you start; it’s where you are going! Good is the enemy of great! Some key words which resonated in your theme – our route is excellence; destination is success! 2018 is now behind us! It was a building block year with the Commonwealth Games, the Youth Olympic Games and the Central American Games. Michelle Lee Ahye distinguished herself and was our 2018 Sportswoman of the Year. Jereem Richards, with courage and flair, captured the Sportsman of the Year award. Other athletes distinguished themselves this evening. Let’s recog- nise their achievements in 2018. But colleagues 2018 is over! This is 2019 – the beginning of a new year. We are 360 days away from a new decade - the 2020s. This must be our decade! It is time to reset! Reset dreams! Reset strategy! Recalibrate approaches for athletes for whom 2018 was unsatisfactory or merely average. Reset for coaches whose charges did not achieve their aspirations! Merely repeating the same training, nutritional habits and strategy will not yield improvement. Let 2019 be a time for vision and action! Vision without action is day dreaming. Action without vision is passing time. As Nelson Mandela said: “Vision with action is the foun- dation for greatness.” This evening, NGC stands here as a socially responsible corporate sponsor, partner and cham- pion of Trinidad and Tobago’s quest for track and field excellence. Allow me to thank the NAAA, and your President Mr. Ephraim Serrette, for the privilege and honour of addressing you this evening. President Serette, Dr. Iva Gloudon, Ganness Persad, Hasely Crawford TC, George Commissiong, Dr.

  • Message to the Nation by Dr the Honourable Keith
    MESSAGE TO THE NATION BY DR THE HONOURABLE KEITH ROWLEY, MP PRIME MINISTER OF THE REPUBLIC OF TRINIDAD & TOBAGO ON THE OCCASION OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO’S 55TH ANNIVERSARY OF INDEPENDENCE 31 August 2017 Fellow Citizens of Trinidad and Tobago On the occasion of the 55th anniversary of our Independence, many of us would be mindful of our journey as a nation. As a Small Island Developing State, our ability to navigate the journey of nationhood has always depended on our creativity, our willingness to work hard and our ability to stand firm together as a nation. In order to continue on the path of growth and development, we the people are mandated to foster a strong patriotism as well as our own capacity to take full advantage of opportunities through clear focus, grit and determination. Despite our challenges, I believe that Trinidad and Tobago continues to live up to the promise and potential we demonstrated in 1962 and we can ill-afford to falter now. We must strengthen our democratic institutions and implement policies that are tailored to our specific conditions and developmental objectives. In so doing, we will increase our chances of success exponentially. Earlier this month, the citizens of Trinidad and Tobago received an incredible pre – Independence Day gift. We witnessed our fantastic four – Jarrin Solomon, Jareem Richards, Machel Cedenio and Lalonde Gordon – bring home our country’s first ever gold medal in the 4×400 metres relay event at the recently concluded IAAF World Championships in London, England. A few days earlier, Jareem Richards had made his mark in the 200m event claiming a bronze medal for the country.

Organisations and people who succeed, expand while others get smaller. They take risks while others conserve. They remain focused on the destination instead of the difficulties. The successful keep their eyes on the targets regardless of the challenges. Big thinking, massive actions, expansion and risk taking are necessary for our survival and future growth. We will never have all the answers. Our timing will never be perfect. There will always be obstacles and difficulties. However, success is our duty, obligation and responsibility. Successful people and organisations are highly goal oriented and always pay more attention to the target than the problem. Excuses are for people and organisations who refuse to take responsibility. People and organisations with a can do attitude approach every situation with the outlook that no matter what, it can be done. Challenges are the experiences that forge successful people and organisations' abilities.

    THE NATIONAL GAS COMPANY OF TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO LIMITED (NGC) Eldwin Noel Games Date: 22-5-2016 Brighton Recreation Grounds, La Brea Remarks by Mr. Fofi George, Community Relations Officer Good Evening, When you speak of energy in Trinidad and Tobago, your thoughts immediately turn to the southland, as this is where this nation’s energy industry was born. This is where it grew up. From the discoveries of tar and pitch centuries ago, to the establishment of oil wells and offshore platforms, to the presence of large entities such as the LABIDCO Industrial Estate, this land has always featured prominently in our energy history. La Brea saw the first pitch-paved roads in the country, the first pumping jacks, and the first foreign energy investors. Even when you set aside the enormous role La Brea has played in the growth of our energy industry, there is still much more to be said. La Brea was a giant in our agricultural industry, with its cocoa, coconut and sugar cane industries contributing to the wealth of the area since the 1800s. Some of the older residents can tell you of the glamour days of La Brea, of the fancy parties held in Brighton, which people of means would sail from Port of Spain, across the Gulf, to attend. Its unique geology and significant archaeological finds have brought international recognition to Trinidad. One of La Brea’s most interesting contributions in recent times is the discovery of bacteria in the Pitch Lake, which may be the closest thing on Earth to 1 microbial life present in the hydrocarbon seas on Saturn's moon, Titan.
