 Dear David,

           How are you doing? I hope you are doing great and well? I know with full heart, everything is going well. Am writing this letter to you in telling you  about my future career and how it will benefit our country Nigeria.

         Firstly, I have been having so much thought on how I will add to the promotion of this country, i have made some thought an I got some inspirations which I know it will be very helpful in this country especially at this time, and I had come to a conclusion on letting it out but I had only told these plans to my parent and you. I hope you will check it out I know what you think about it.

      Furthermore, one of the plan I have in mind is building an hospital in this our town, because am finding out that a lot of people in our village has been dying due to no developed and skilled hospital in our town and this has hurt me so bad that people die some get ills and no one can do anything concerning it that’s why am deciding of becoming a medical student so that I could find a way to help my people from this medical lack which has brought a lot of harm to us. Even the herbalist that they are relying on is not even help the matter so well.

  'copied from e x a m p l a z a . c o m free'    Moreover, when I become medical doctor, I could be able to save lives and have enough mother to help purify our town bole hole water because I noticed that there are some particles penetrating inside the water when been fetched and this could be very harmful to the people, even I guess this is mostly one of the cause of peoples illness in our town but I will try as much as possible to find out a cure that could saturate the water and make it clean and also cure those that has already been infected by it.

       More so, by me becoming a medical doctor probably the first medical doctor, I can open a teaching hospital for the youth who would want to become a nurse and they will be trained and this could even lead to employment in our society and reduce the rate of youth parading around our town with no aim.

      In summary, this doctor I want to become is just like the perfect idea for me and the society because this could help everyone and keep everyone healthy and bring about development to our society even employment to our youth.

In conclusion, I am only telling you this David because you are my very good friend and I would want your prayer as well so that I could help keeping our people from sickness, from illness and also bring about employment. THANK YOU.

(5) Uneasy Lies the Head that Wears the Crown

This saying explains the fact that it is difficult to be a leader and even more difficult to be at th helm of affairs. When one sees himself in a position of authority, a lot is expected from that person. The individual faces a lot of ups and downs. If he is a good leader, many will admire him and many will also hate him. No matter the level of your good governance you must have oppositions and criticism even from your own people.

A true story of this adage can be seen from the life of Moses whom God appointed to lead the people of Israel when they were suffering in the land of Egypt. After they might have cried for many years, he decided to deliver them from the hands of the Egyptians, to send them to the promised land. (the land flowing with milk and honey). To accomplish this. God called Moses and gave him the crown of leadership to lead the people of Israel out of the land of affliction.

When he started his leadership career. he was finding things very 'copied from e x a m p l a z a . c o m free' difficult, as he had several encounters, problems and challenges with God, with Pharoah, the Egyptian, the Isrealites and even with his household. As the mantle of leadership rested on Moses, he started acting according to God's instruction. In the process he discovered that to be a leader entails a lot of responsibilities. In the first instance, the people refused to believe and hearken to him. He was accused of usurping powers, hence the question "who made you a king and a ruler over us?" From that moment he realized the fact that uneasy lies the head that wears the crown.

     Although Moses was made a god over Pharaoh his leadership tenure wasn't a bed of roses. When they were finally allowed to leave Egypt, they made their journey in the wilderness and they encountered a lot of problems. They were worried and resorted to blaming and insulting Moses. Their disgusting murmuring increased day-in-day-out against Moses and his God, despite the glory of the Lord that accompanied them. Notwithstanding, they hearkened not unto Moses. They complained when they were hungry. They murmured against Moses and he cried to God and they were given manna. When they were thirsty they complained bitterly against Moses. Again Moses cried to God they were given water.

     Many a time the people murmured against Moses saying, "take us back to Egypt. You have brought us out of Egypt to kill us and our children". As they were about to stone him, he cried unto the Lord. Moses 'copied from e x a m p l a z a . c o m free' as a leader was bearing the burden of leadership alone and it was not easy on him at all.

      The behaviour of the Isrealites in the wilderness aggrieved Moses especially when they started worshiping false gods. Out of annoyance, he broke the table containing the commandments of God. As a result of that, the wrath of God came upon him. This particular offence/encounter denied Moses the opportunity of entering the promised land. He later paid with his dear life.

    From this story, one can see actually that it is not easy to be a leader, hence the popular saying "Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown".
