I believe in leadership from ourselves and respect from others. I believe in my own ability to work efficiently and think clearly, with such knowledge and skill as I can secure, and in the ability of progressive agriculturists to serve our own and the public interest in producing and marketing the product of our toil.
ReplyDeleteI think that this means that leadership and respect are very important in life. I think it is saying that everyone can and should be a leader, whether that be of ourselves or of others. Also leaders, anyone actually, should have respect for others and themselves in everything they do.
I believe that to live and work on a good farm, or to be engaged in other agricultural pursuits, is pleasant as well as challenging; for I know the joys and discomforts of agricultural life and hold an inborn fondness for those associations which, even in hours of discouragement, I cannot deny.
ReplyDeleteThis paragraph is very relevant to me and my life. I know what it is like to live and work on a farm. With about 10,000 hogs, I see my dad and my brothers work hard to properly raise them on the day to day with hard chores. I also know how it feels to have to wake up at four before school and sort and load hogs and try to function throughout the day. But I also know that with all the hard work we put in, we also reap the rewards of getting paid at the end of the day. And also bacon. Mmmm bacon.
I believe in the future of agriculture, with a faith born not of words but of deeds - achievements won by the present and past generations of agriculturists; in the promise of better days through better ways, even as the better things we now enjoy have come to us from the struggles of former years.
ReplyDeleteI think this means that you need to be aware of what has happened in the past in the world of agriculture. You literally learn from past struggles. Farmers who have been through drought, flood, hail/tornados, know what to do in those situations. Because they have learned from the past, it may not have been them personally, but a friend or relative maybe. You need to have faith in your abilities to do great things. If you don't have faith, you won't have a good harvest. Just a thought...

ReplyDeleteThis means that if you live or work on a big or little farm or anything else's like working with agriculture and things around you it can be fun but very hard and can get you to get aggravated or mad about something like you can figure out why it dies in certain conditions or something but you have to experiment and try to understand it.You can enjoy the challenges. Find what the inborn can find to and understand. If it takes you a really long time to do something like chores or farm and harvest you cant quite you have to keep moving even when times get tough.

ReplyDeleteI think doing the thing by myself give me more opportunity,it is important to know what we are able to do or not. we should be a leader in what we can do and be respectful. I don't want to have to depend on people for my life. I think we need to work for the other but also for ourself
