If there's one thing that's unique to all human beings, it's the need for recognition and appreciation. Recognition and appreciation in the family, academically, professionally and even nationally or internationally for our contribution to the evolution of the world, or simply for personal efforts that have contributed to a common good. Frustration comes when we feel we're not appreciated enough. Employees want an increase because they say they work harder than they need to. University professors wait for an appointment because of their commitment to education. Businessmen hope for state recognition due to the value they create for society. All in all, everyone, whoever they are or whatever their sector of activity is, expects the recognition they claim to deserve.

But unfortunately, there aren't many organizations that are aware of this reality, reason why the world finds itself stuck in a state of infernal anarchy. Even the tiny organizations that advocate this virtue are marred by corruption, which crowns the less deserving instead of the resourceful who go through an arduous, traceable and, above all, genuine process. On the bangs of all this, is one organization founded on the values of merit, loyalty, integrity and, above all, fairness. This organization, founded by Dr. Raoul Ruben, a true agent of change and man of impact, will be organizing the second edition of the A21 RECOGNITION CEREMONY on August 17, 2024 at Palais des Congrès in Yaoundé, an international event to recognize and crown every member who has distinguished themselves through conduct, but above all through remarkable and irreproachable leadership. They will be recognized and crowned for their hard work, their courage and self-sacrifice, their burning desire to succeed, but most especially for their resilience. It's a unique moment of inspiration, of effervescent energy, dreams and the coming true of their accomplishments. It's a unique rendezvous between Dream, Passion, Never give up and the Indomitable thirst for Greatness. In a grand finale at the Best Western Hotel in Douala for over three days, all these recipients will receive intensive training from Chairman Dr. Raoul Ruben to strengthen their leadership skills and better face the new challenges they will definitely meet.

The human species is one of the most majestic achievements of nature (or of God, if we refer to the creation story). What makes us a superior species is, of course, our will to power, our desire to conquer distant lands and impose our law there, but above all the resilience with which we overcome our challenges and push back our limits. But as the days go by and the times change, we realise that Man has become weaker, he has abandoned his responsibility, he has stripped himself of everything that made him strong and drove him to fight, leaving his fate to chance. Despite advances in technology that make life more potable and more practical, Man gives the impression of being absent from the march of this dynamic. This is simply because we are not yet prepared for such a level of development.

Development simply means leading humanity towards new, more appreciable lifestyles to which it does not yet have access. And to achieve this, we need to have the will, the consistency, the audacity, the fighting spirit and the continuous involvement in this dynamic that will never stop. Not only is this a political will, but every organisation should be aware of it, i.e. take account of this permanent need for improvement and perfection. This is why As a prelude to the second A21 RECOGNITION CEREMONY, to be held on 17 August at the Palais des Congrès in Yaoundé, a prestigious event during which the Academy Twenty One organisation will crown members who have distinguished themselves through exemplary leadership, Chairman Dr Raoul Ruben will be giving an extraordinary Training session on Tuesday 30 July at the Krystal Palace hotel, auditorium room, from 6pm. During this meeting, members will learn about the challenges of organising a major event, and how to maintain constant motivation until their objectives have been achieved. It's sure to be an explosion of energy and rewarding moment of sharing.
