Message To My Child

Son , keep my wise words for your  bright  future: As a future leader, privilege discipline in everything you will do. 
A ruler has  much power when his people are with him. Learn to understand the voices of the people you rule. A wise leader knows that power does not mean to control and ill - treat people,  It is the happiness for working for people... " helping them."Love knowledge to rule well, Respect is reciprocal in life , Love the person who corrects you because he loves you the most.  Respect is reciprocal in life , Be humble, tolerant of others  ,  and  a role model in the Society. Learn to forgive forgive and forget , Don't allow tribalism " tribal  conflict" to rise  among the people you lead. Remember that , war is the biggest enemy of the development. Promote peace and love where ever you will be. I love you so much son.
