Drawing\nfrom his life experiences, the storyteller spelt out five lessons that he\nwished they would give themselves to which he believes can transform their\nlives and society tremendously. <\/p>\n\n\n\n According\nto Mr. Ebo Whyte, it is worth for the graduating students to note that there is\nno useless person in the world and that there are only people with different\ntemperaments and talents. <\/p>\n\n\n\n He\nsaid \u201cThose who tell you who they think you are, are always wrong. In other\nwords, don\u2019t let anyone define you.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Quoting\nfrom the Bible at 2 Timothy 1:7 in the New Testament, he said God has not given\nus a spirit of timidity but of courage, love and self-control. He bemoaned the\ntraditional Ghanaian upbringing which makes a lot of the people timid and lives\na life of quiet frustration and un-fulfillment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYou\nmake your own opportunity in life.\u201d Drawing once again from his own life story,\nMr. Ebo Whyte said many of us do not throw ourselves fully into whatever we are\ndoing. Many of us are never present at any time and so we miss a lot. We all\none time or the other get invited into a room but the question is, what do you\nbring with you into the room?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n On\nhis next life lesson, he said \u201cNo one is better than you.\u201d According to him, we\noften look at people and decide that they are better than us. \u201cMaybe they are\nbetter looking; maybe they are more outgoing; maybe they have a better social\nbackground and the list can go on. The point is, we tend to compare ourselves\nunfavorably with others. I have learnt that whilst I am not superior to anyone\nI am also not inferior to anyone. And that is the case for anyone born of a\nwoman.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally,\nMr. James Ebo Whyte admonished the graduating students to count on God to help\nthem. He quoted again from the Bible, \u201cI am the Lord your God who takes hold of\nyour right hand and says to you, Do not be afraid, I will help you,\u201d and said\nthat if we could count on God to help us, then let us dream big and let us dare\nto do great things. \u201cOrdinary is not for us,\u201d he stated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With\nthe graduating students cheering at his speech, Mr. James Ebo Whyte ended his\n\u2018story\u2019 and said \u201cMay God help us all and wake up the formidable in us and send\nus forth to go, deliver and make the impact only we, can make.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" A renowned Ghanaian storyteller, playwright, director and live-theatre producer, Mr. James Ebo Whyte encouraged the 2019 graduating students of the Presbyterian University College, Ghana (PUCG) to accept their uniqueness and give out their best to transform the society.
