overlooked‚ disrespected‚ and viewed sometimes as just a babysitter. So‚ after saying this‚ why would I want to pursue a career as a teacher? For me‚ the answer to this question is very easy. Proverbs 19:21 says‚ “There are many devices in a man’s hear; nevertheless the counsel of the Lord‚ that shall stand.” For me‚ this speaks that God’s will shall be done in my life‚ and His plans are greater than mine.

The saying and its attribution as an "African" proverb were in circulation before it was adopted by Clinton as the source for the title of her book.
