16.08. - 1 - Speech Of The Day - AT BAHR DAR INSTITUTE „… We should, however, bear in mind that unless the acquisition of knowledge is coupled with a desire to work, no tangible result can be obtained. … … Every Ethiopian has his share in this national responsibility, but the important thing is to bear in mind what leadership and responsibility entail. … … Let honesty and devotion be the guiding force in your work … … It is evident that man in his lifetime is bound to encounter pleasure and hardship interchangeably. During trying moments one ought to overcome these painful periods with patience and perseverance despite much suffering. On the other hand, when one is fully blessed with nature`s endowments one should not solely be given to pleasure but rather be self-restrained and useful. As excessive pleasure precipitates laziness, one should try to avoid being a victim of it. … … We wish you to know that whatever measure We have taken in the course of your studies here was meant, primarily, to help you to mature in education and enable you to develop your natural inclinations to become good and useful citizens. We also want you to realize that whatever contributions you make should be in the national interest. Generations come and generations pass, but only through lasting contributions can one generation`s contribution to another be considered a lasting heritage. The Ethiopian people have maintained their unity with perseverance and courage and they are proud of their age-old heritage. Our forefathers have, without tribal and ethnic prejudices, and through their strong belief that in unity lies strength, worked in unison and thereby managed to hand over the country to present generation Ethiopians. It is, in turn, your sacred duty to be true to this great tradition. We hope that your education has equipped you to understand more fully these bare facts. […] May the Almighty guide and help you in all your further undertakings which are directed for the good and well-being of your fellow-countrymen. …” chronological-speeches-of-him-qhs.blogspot.de/2014/08/1608-1-speech-of-day-at-bahr-dar.html
