Create a file tg.el in your emacs load-path:

 (define-minor-mode tg-mode ""
   :lighter "  **TG** ")

 (define-global-minor-mode tg-globalized-mode tg-mode
   (lambda()
     (tg-mode 1)))

Eval it and customize tg-globalized-mode permanently to t.

Start Emacs again:

   emacs
   M-x load-library tg
   C-h v tg-globalized-mode
      => Its value is t
   C-h v tg-mode
      => Its value is nil

Then try

    Mx tg-globalized-mode
      => Tg-Globalized mode disabled
    M-x tg-globalized-mode
      => Tg-Globalized mode enabled
    C-h v tg-mode
      => Its value is t
