The dignity of labor impels us to develop in different types of work making us realize that every individual must contribute to his or her quota for the betterment of society. In this way we will no longer discriminate between white color jobs and manual work, and will negate social elitism and pride. The dignity of labor manifests itself through its characteristics of perseverance and diligence, which encourage us to enjoy and take pride in our work for the nation with dedication and commitment.
As a student of agriculture I am inspired in many corners of the career. The services are so beneficial that I have come to believe that Agriculture is the basic need for the development of our country, without it, man cannot survive. In Zambia the economy is now depending more on Agriculture than on mining, mining is diminishing whereas Agriculture is not. If Zambians could take this up, we would benefit. Agriculture is more practical than theoretical hence it needs dedicated persons. It is essential for the students to know how to be self employed using the skills they attain in: Livestock and Crop Management, Farm Management and Farm Mechanics.
As a student at Don Bosco Agriculture College I am so pleased because the college is not just a school but also a home. It provides students with a conducive atmosphere for study. It also offers additional formation not only academic but also spiritual and human. This makes students become honest citizens …. I therefore encourage my fellow youth who are still loitering the streets to take up this challenge… together we can develop our nation.
NONE CAN DISGRACE US BUT OURSELVES.
