Friends it has not being very easy for me to combine so many teaching responsibilities with this class. So many opportunities to shine my little light to the darkness of the ignorance of our world. But I cannot afford to leave my virtual class alone also. Kindly bear with me if my consistence has being sagging.
It is a new month and I will love to welcome you to the month of June How time flies, we Just shouted happy new year five months ago and before you know the hand of the clock has ticked millions of seconds within a very short time. We are going to conclude Emerson Essay today and we shall move to another interesting great teacher who I will introduce in the next class.
The soul is no traveller; the wise man stays at home, and when his necessities, his duties, on any occasion call him from his house, or into foreign lands, he is at home still, and shall make men sensible by the expression of his countenance, that he goes the missionary of wisdom and virtue, and visits cities and men like a sovereign, and not like an interloper or a valet.
Many of us believed that there are no opportunities were the nature has created us. Many of us in the third world believed that our salvation is in the United State of America, United Kingdom, France, Canada, South Africa and so many other countries with hard currency better than our own countries. That is why the embassies of these countries are like Mecca and Medina daily. I heard sometimes ago that people get to embassies at ungodly hour to make sure they get in in time to the embassies for Visas. Some of these great souls are even maltreated called names by embassies staffs, so many people have their paper dump on them why because they want to travel out of where nature in her wisdom has planted them. I even learnt that some embassies are declaring profit at the end of a financial year.
But Emerson has a contrary opinion Wise men stays at home. They stay at home and turn their environment around to what suit them, they turned thorn and thistle to beauty, they wrestle their landscape away from nature and turn it to a beautiful garden. They turn darkness and ignorance to light and make it more beautiful to behold.
We are created here and not there. Nature is not at fault for rooting us here. It is here we are going to prosper and blossom. It is here we are going to shine our light, We may have cause to go their to learn and impart our knowledge if so desire but here is home and here we are going to make it. It made me remember one other philosopher Elbert Hubbard whom I have mush respect for he said and quote
"If you stay at home and do your work well enough, the world will come to you" and the world is coming to some of us even to steal the best brain away from us knowingly and subtly. In the name of diversity Visa Lottery. Elbert said further "that a man is a fool to chase a woman, because if he doesn't the women will chase after him" The time you use in chasing women about if utilized very well will turn you into a celebrity. name a man that is a celebrity and is not being flocked by women.
Class I am appealing to you to read Emerson very well and imbibe his philosophy they will greatly help you in your journey through life. I will conclude with Emerson quote
" Build a better mousetrap, and the world will beat a path to your door"
If you are so good at what you do men will pay you to do it. Love you all see you in the next class.
