Whites Only Voyage

Musa was the only black man on the luxury cruise ship

Musa was the only black man on
a luxury cruise ship that was about to sink,
5 hours after it had left the Port of Mombasa.

He was the toilet cleaner on the cruise ship.

For the urgent situation that was, the white people
looked among themselves for someone
to pray, but no one wanted to as everyone
was terrified and clueless. With tears in his eyes,
the ship captain suddenly spotted Musa.

He pointed a finger at him and shouted,
”You! Pray for us!”

Fearful he would be punished for not obeying,
Musa obliged and started a prayer, with CONFIDENCE ;

“Dear Lord, as I was boarding this ship,
it said, ‘WHITES ONLY'.

Lord, when I wanted to use the bathroom,
the sign read, ‘WHITES ONLY’.

And Lord, when I went to the tables for food,
it was reserved for ‘WHITES ONLY'.

So Lord, as this ship is about to sink,
I pray that you take ‘WHITES ONLY’.

...and all said,

AMEN”.

A professor articulately said this to his students.

Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life.  Being top of your class does not necessarily guarantee that you will be at the top of life. Think more of becoming an excellent person than becoming an excellent student. "Academic excellence is overrated ! I said it.  You could graduate as the best student in Finance but it doesn't mean you will make more money than everybody else. The best graduating Law student does not necessarily become the best lawyer. The fact is life requires more than the ability to understand a concept, memor ize it and reproduce it in an exam. School rewards people for their memory. School rewards people for their memory. Life rewards people for their imagination.  School rewards caution, life rewards daring. School hails those who live by the rules. Life exalts those who break the rules and set new ones.    So, do I mean people shouldn't study hard in school? Oh, no! You should. ...
