THE HUMBLEST IS THE GREATEST.

One of the things I love to do during my free time is listening to motivational speakers and great orators on the internet. Today I am watching one of my favorite local orators; P.L.O. Lumumba.

A story is told of five young boys in an African war-torn nation. A rebel army sweeps through a coastal village rounding up able bodied boys and girls.

They are caught in between the soldiers and the ocean, however; deep into the sea -about five miles off the shore- sits a safe heaven, an island. Four boys agree that they have got no choice but to surrender. They are sure that it is the only other alternative choice they have besides running along and getting shot dead since the rebel soldiers are only 200 meters away. They get down on their knees and raise their hands in the air. The fifth boy, however, sees one thing that the rest haven’t; a third choice.
