Chord DESTINY POWER : Episode 3

Elizabeth: This is where you are! we have been looking for you since.
Mwaba: We are here under the tree having our leisure. take your seats and join our discussion. ( they sit)
James: What do you want to be in future? (pointing at his colleagues)


Darlington: Nobody knows what the future may bring. As for me, I would like to be a Geologist. I wish to study how mineral resources are mined and extracted from the rock and soils. As a Geologist I can work in Zambian Petroleum company. They all clapped to applaud him.
Mwaba: We have heard from Darlington. Yes Chisala what of you?


Chisala: As for me I would love to be a Pharmacist. It's my duty to prepare and dispense drugs and medicines prescribed by doctor to patients. Without Pharmacists lives are not saved. I can work in a hospital or with the Zambia Medicines Regulatory Authority (ZAMRA)
and so on. They clapped again to applaud him.
Elizabeth: As for me I desire to be a passionate defender of law. In a nation where there is no law there is no sin. I wish to be a lawyer or a judge. A lawyer is a person who is well trained and qualified to advise people about the law while a judge is a legal official who presides over a court of law, either alone or as panel of judges. I can work in court as a Solicitor, a Secretary or a Legal Adviser in any firm and so on.


Mwaba: Without telling the blind men they can perceive that my aspiration is to be a medical Doctor. The fact is that without a doctor there is no life. A doctor is a person who restores human health through the study, diagnosis, and treatment of disease or injury. We save life, soul and …..
Darlington: cutting in Darlington is it because medicine is very lucrative?
Darlington: Apart from that doctors are lovely and dignifying in any society they find themselves.


James: What if you find yourself in other fields like Engineering and teaching?
Mwaba: God forbid! ( snapping his fingers audibly). Over my dead body! Whatever you wish yourself you accomplish.
Mulenga: Well As for me, I will like to chose Accounting as my profession. An Accountant is a person that keeps or checks financial reports or records of a firm or an organisation. I can work in any firm as an Auditor, a Banker and so on….(they all clapped for her with whooping supports).


Chisala: what does fate have for you in the future, James?
James: I’m going to be a political Activist. They all laugh at him hysterically.
Darlington: Is it because politics is now a hot cake?
James: Besides, I wish to dedicate myself to serve humanity.
Mulenga: Instead of politics I prefer farming. (They burst into laughter) Frankly speaking politics is like a refuse dump. So, you better change your mind. politics is a dangerous and devilish game. it kills.


Elizabeth: Apart from that all politicians are liars. They can construct bridges where there is no river. Anyway you have a sweet tongue and your mouth is as slippery as Okra .(They laugh at him). All politicians are pagans.
Mwaba: If I were you, I would just heed the advice of Mulenga and Elizabeth because you can't serve human beings and please God.
Darlington: No one can serve God and Mammon simultaneously. Jesus Christ who pleased God and man without blemish was betrayed and nailed on the cross.


Mwaba: Obedience they say is better than sacrifice. it is better o heed the advice of friends. politics is like a harbinger of death as Mulenga said.
James: Politics is not as black as yo have painted it. Dr Nelson Mandela was jailed for twenty seven years fighting for the abolition of apartheid in South Africa. He succeeded and later became the president. What about leaders who die in detention after winning an election? As a good leader you have to sacrifice yourself for the betterment of people. Whoever is afraid of death is not a dedicated leader. Jesus Christ fulfilled His destiny and died for sinners.


Darlington: That’s story, James. What's not good is bad. instead of politics, why not Aviation? You will have access to travel out of the country. politics as we said is not a toy but death. You better look before you leap.
James: Even identical twins born of the same day at the same time and who share the same cord have different thoughts and different principles. politics is in my blood.
Mwaba: James A word they say is enough for the wise...
At this point the bell rings for closing. The students from various classes run to assemble for prayer...
