Well, lets think about what this motto really means: To Minister and Not Be Ministered Unto.
There are several definitions for the word minister, but in this context, I believe it means to aid or give service, to care; to attend, as to wants or necessities; or to contribute the happiness or comfort to others.
The first part of the school motto is clearly stating that students of Nyakasura School both current and old should minister to the needs of others. To provide service and guidance to those who are less fortunate and to contribute to the betterment of the lives of those around you.
The second part of this motto is a plan to strive for our own personal success. Be self sufficient, be strong, be a leader... this was the vision of the Commander and the light that has guided so many students of Nyakasura School to remarkably successful careers and happiness in life.
A man as compassionate and successful as the Commander would clearly want to foster the same compassion and the same success upon the students whom he devoted his life to.
May we all remember the true meaning of our school motto long after we leave the hallowed halls of Nyakasura School. May we all be prosperous in our lives and give back to those in needs.
i for one feel very proud that i did attend this famous school....full of rich history. i had the best times of my life in Balya, i hope with our support we will minster to others as commander would have wished us to do..........to all the class of 93....lets do this!!!!!! mesh
