And I like your take on it.<br /><br />thanks for the link I was shocked that Tricia Adaobi would even say that Africa doesn't need a Nobel because people would begin to ape her. I responded to it on facebook and I was even thinking about it this morning. I asked myself are writers John Nash who, in searching for his original idea for his PhD thesis, refused to attend lectures fearing that others works would influence his thoughts? Which writer had not the influence of the others? And isn't it great that we imitate the big people and not the bad? Besides, who said Wole Soyinka, in developing his unique voice, wasn't influenced by another writer or writers. The key is learning from others and adding your unique voice and touch to it.ImageNationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06021414643103601330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-8147672393266291112010-12-13T20:37:11.896+00:002010-12-13T20:37:11.896+00:00very interesting! a statement on the order of life...very interesting! a statement on the order of life and living. :)Marie Cloutierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938166831865436287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-79155930819138984572010-12-13T17:44:47.997+00:002010-12-13T17:44:47.997+00:00Another interesting proverb Nana.

It also seems to be about showing our strength so as to be the tortoise and not being broken instead of being broken like the snail?<br /><br />Also, did you see this article: http://carmenmccain.wordpress.com/2010/12/12/in-response-to-adaobi-tricia-nwaubanis-in-africa-the-laureates-curse-an-op-ed-piece-in-todays-new-york-times/Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102250492155489672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29803016.post-79164341162177560742010-12-13T13:52:52.757+00:002010-12-13T13:52:52.757+00:00@Geosi, thanks.
