Of course not.

Don't `require`, just call the function *instead*.
BTW, the activation function is the minor mode function, so to
activate a global minor mode, just add the following in your .emacs:
(my-minor-mode 1)
or alternatively activate it via Custom.
No need for a separate `activate-my-minor-mode`.

No, just
(my-minor-mode 1)
If the package is properly installed (e.g. via `M-x package-install`),
the function should be marked as autoloaded (if not, send a bug report
to the package maintainer), so you don't need to `require` before
calling the function.
