Remembering His Excellency Dr. Siaka Probyn Stevens (What Life has taught me)

Much of my book (What Life has taught me) has dealt with what life has taught me. At 78 he was glad to claim that he is still learning in the school of life and sometimes hardly receiving passing marks. Those who feel that they have nothing more to learn, or are tired of learning, are most probably tired of living. I am certainly not a member of that club, but I am aware of the limitations resulting from increasing age.

The leadership of a country like Sierra Leone is a very demanding job, combining responsibility for the day-to-day affairs of the country and planning for the future with diplomatic work and the performance of ceremonial functions.
