俗话说“条条大路通罗马”，背诵
As Ali sat motionless in front of his late father’s hut, made of mud molder, a mournful look on his face. His father had passed away a week earlier, his moral remains cremated. Ali, who had walked all the way home from Abidjan for 5 days and as many nights was in morning. He was now all alone in this world, his mother having died in child birth.
“What a moron I was, not to have the motivation to go to university while the old man was still around and able to pay. If only I’d had a motive for doing something constructive.” Ali thought to himself.
“The old man was always used to arranging for everything. The opportunities he offered me were a multiple of what was available to the other young men from my village.” Ali shrugged his shoulders. He was mortified as he contemplated his future prospects.
“Whatever is going to motivate me now? how can I get my wasted life in motion?” he thought to himself. One motive kept reoccurring, study. How much he now wish to take up some serious study! Of all the multiple and manifold choices his father had offered him, morphology must have been the most multi-fascinated subjects. The study of how multi-sally organisms form into plants animals, then multiply to form a multitude of species was fascinating to Ali. “It is a truly exciting subject.” Ali thought to himself. There is nothing at all mundane about it.
