'When you are older you will have your own concerns. All I expect is that one day you will carry your own son across this river as I no do for you.' Cultivating this attitude is an important part of Humanism

Life is good! It is only our thoughts, choices and actions towards the situations we meet in life each moment of time that makes life look bad!

It is all about thoughts, choices and actions! Life is good! Live it well! — Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

However it might go, I should have no regrets. If I should be reduced to begging in the street, then I should enjoy the feel of pavement beneath my feet and the odors of asphalt and automobile exhausts.

How does humility manifest itself in leadership and in life?

Avoid people who hurt from an impulse.
