 You
should bear in mind the fact that a man who says, “I have learned enough and
will learn no further” should be considered as knowing nothing at all.
There can be no time limit for learning and the pursuit of knowledge. It is
essential for you to discover ways of furthering your educational capacity
instead of discontinuing it.

We
do not want our legacies and traditions to be lost. Our wish and desire is
that education, develop, enrich, and modify them.

Everyone,
regardless of his age, should strive to learn. It would be inconceivable
for a person to appreciate the meaning of life and living itself without
education. It would even be impossible for a person to utilize his God-given
gifts.

Development
is the accumulated result of intensive long-term efforts. It is not enough
that a nation desire development and economic maturity, any more than a
child, in wishing, becomes a man. Time is required, and experience, and
trial and error. The process and requirements of nature cannot be ignored
or evaded. The child must first crawl, then walk, before it can run. So,
also, must a nation progress through the successive stages of growth before
the stage is reached where rapid and ever-accelerating development is
possible.

If
we do not build the roads and bridges and schools, if we do not plough the
fields and till the soil, if we do not carry on the trade and commerce of
the nation, to whom shall we look for the accomplishment of these tasks?
Has education been given that the educated may disdain physical toil and
perspiration? Have the healthy been protected from disease that they may
scorn the hard labor upon which alone Our nation can hope to advance? Have
not those many nations which today are called “advanced” become so through
the toil and labor of their people?

But,
“Man cannot live by bread alone.” Man, after all is also composed of
intellect and soul. Therefore, education in general, and higher education
in particular, must aim to provide, beyond the physical, food for the
intellect and soul. That education which ignores man’s intrinsic nature and
neglects his intellect and reasoning power cannot be considered true
education.

The
person, who, even while at school, realizes the needs of his country and has
a proper sense of values and urgency will see what is needed, and will be
able to fill it. He need not be separated from his country and its culture
before being prepared to handle a position of responsibility.

Nor
should anyone today mistakenly believe that only in the cities can he serve
his country. The greater need today is among the people, with those who
work the soil, who provide the nourishment and sustenance upon which
Ethiopia feeds.

Education
intensifies natural gifts and ability, but mere education, unless founded on
a historical and cultural framework, will bear no fruit. That is why you
should at all times reinforce your learning with the cultural heritage of
your fore-fathers—a cultural heritage which you should revive.

If
you are open-minded and ready to learn, there are many things which you can
learn not only from books and instructors but from the very life experience
itself. There are definitely many things which you can learn from people.
If you are guided by this principle, you will be surprised how pleasant life
can be even under trying conditions.

Community
development comprises two important elements (i) the participation of the
people themselves in efforts to improve their level of living with as much
reliance as possible on their own initiative, and (ii) the provision of
technical and other related services in ways which encourage initiative,
self-help and mutual aid and make these more effective.

Africa
has accepted the challenge of the modern world and with it come grave
responsibilities. Many discouraging hours will arise before the rainbow of
accomplished goals will appear on the horizon. African civilization in its
potential magnitude must be able to command fortitude, patience, tolerance
and diligence. To sustain us in all our tasks we count on the women of
Africa. Without their relentless vigilance no aspect of our
responsibilities can be attained. Women’s role has never been so demanding,
and you can be proud to answer this call for the betterment and future of
mankind.

In
order to advance in our respective undertakings and set ourselves on the
right path we have to learn and draw abundantly from the great spiritual
heritage which our fathers and forefathers have bequeathed to us. This
can give us strength hand a sense of continuity which are essential for
progress and development. The harvest of life is character which grows
with time and it is this very factor that determines one destiny and future.
We shall always bear this in mind and in so doing, we will avoid personal
disaster and will not bring adverse influence on others.

One
should realize that thriftiness is the basis for the accumulation of wealth
and the economic growth of a nation. One seldom minimizes the value of
money earned by the sweat of the brow however small it may be, but for the
extravagant even a huge amount of money is worthless. Know how to use your
money wisely and effectively. A habit once formed becomes an incurable
second nature. Therefore utilize your wealth for worthwhile things and
avoid employing it for harmful purposes and for monetary pleasures.
Use your savings where it will pay you
most. The hoarding of money does not yield dividends! If you wish your savings
to pay you higher dividends, join in with those of your fellow citizens. It is
through hard work, know-how, and patience that you will be able to increase your
capital.

Let
us, from the greatest to the least, take pride in the performance of the
task and duties assigned to us, whether or not we believe them worthy of our
talents, whether we labor silent and alone, or in the crowd and illuminated
by the glaring light of public opinion. The reward for the job well
done is not in the recognition of others, nor in the public praise.
Neither is it to be measured solely by the monetary return earned by the
workman. It comes, rather, in the inner satisfaction that accompanies
the knowledge that the work accomplished represents the best of which we are
capable.

Knowledge
is a treasure that must be grasped and which no one can confiscate; it is a
diamond without price which prevents the breaking of heaven's decree and
preserves from a path to destruction. Knowledge allows you to inherit
the Kingdom of God, which the mind of man cannot conceive; and is a
counselor in time of adversity. So may God grant you to attain a
wisdom and knowledge such as I have described.
