  17. Unpack Your Bags and Plant Your Trees….. “Ruth, wherever you go in life, unpack your bags- physically and mentally- and plant your trees. Too many people never live in the the now because they assume the time is too short to settle in. They don’t plant trees because they expect to be gone before the tree bears fruit. But if you keep thinking about your next move, you’ll never live fully where you are. When it’s time to go, then it’s time to go, but you won’t have missed what this experience was all about. If you never eat from the trees someone else will.” And he followed his OWN advice by planting trees all around their home in Kano, Nigeria. After 12 years, Ruth returned to her village and ate an orange off of one of his tress and she knew that her dad was right!
