 Live your life like a book that people will want to read.

A week before Christmas, I attended the book launch of 'Prof. William Senteza Kajubi: The Man and His Legacy,' authored by Dr. Jones Kyazze, a retired international civil servant and active rotarian.

In 2011, I remember holding several conversations with Prof. Kajubi where he shared about his journey to the University of Chicago in 1952, where he went to study as Africa's first Fulbright scholar.

He talked about the Jim Crow laws at the time and even though it was clearly difficult, most of the conversations were about the vast opportunities that the scholarship presented.

His reaction to any harsh situation would be, 'That is highly regrettable.' I don't remember any cuss word or profanity from Prof. at all.

Having served twice as Vice Chancellor of Makerere University and as Chair of the Uganda Symbols Committee that created the National Anthem and National Flag, he was also a father of 9, amongst them 3 sets of twins.

On top of his achievements, he was highly time conscientious, dignified and exemplified work ethics.

Let's live our lives like a book that deserves to be read.
