Learning and Wisdom

Since I've been on campus at Howard University, this has been one of the most inspiring lectures that I have endured. Dr. Carr is a very empowering and intelligent speaker and with that said, listening to him and fallowing his keys points was not so difficult , it just engaged myself more in his teaching. One of the key points that really caught my eye is when he spoke upon the fact that Africans, which were Egyptians, was the first human species to begin , created, hieroglyphics. That was beautiful to me because people talk about Africa and Africans being such a rural and diseased infested place that they forget to acknowledge us as a surviving and growing community that was not always like that. Another keep point that I thought was very when he stated the information on "The Great Equalizer ", that our economy will be based on how well we are informed and educated. obviously to live up to this nature, you of course have to be present, you have to read and write so that you can improvise on the information that is being given to you. Never just settle for what someone is telling you, go back to the text so you can have your own reassurance on what someone is telling you. Lastly, I appreciated him deliberating on the fact that we, as an Mbongi, have to distinguish our intellectual ability to become a more wiser and keen human being. In all that Dr. Carr addressed, even though it was quite fast and overwhelming, I'm sure that everyone got something out of his teachings. And I look forward to hearing our next weeks lecture.
