Quotes "The manifestation of very deviant characters, including greed, lack of respect for authority and the elderly, worship of money over God and godly principles had contributed to the pervasive corruption in the country." rising cases of corruption not reflective of christian values "Women have the power to reach their goals and aims in life with the support of other women and society as a whole." Women in Leadership "As a woman professionalism should be a mandate and women should be promoted based on hard work and not mere favours or recommendations. In addition to your profession, one can have a side business to enable women to be economically empowered." Women Empowerment "If ever there was a time that the word of God must be preached and followed by intense discipleship, is now." The best time to follow the word of God is Now Socialization has been both good and bad. For a lot of men, women are only useful for one purpose, and in that same manner also, I guess a lot of women feel that we have to be on the ground with the men on top of us and this is where I talk about objectivity Joyce Aryee speaking on sociaization So there’s a lot of work but I really believe that community mining will let people know that; we can also mine and make money out of it without causing so much problem to the environment. Joyce Speaking On Mining Policy You don’t want to be a man, because you’re not. What you want to do is to bring some leadership skills, to help change the place and to lead.* Joyce Speaking on leadership it is important to accept the resistance as it comes and finds ways to turn them around, as this helps in making a woman a great and strong leader. I was faced with the usual opposition of not being accepted in a male dominated world.

When you wake up in the morning, you have to wait till night. Of course, you can fall asleep at 10am but the night will come. Joyce speaking On life & Shortcuts The best downstream activity for gold is jewellery and you don’t need that much gold to do jewellery. So I think that as a nation that does not produce as much as South Africa does, it is important to have medium scale gold refineries. We have two small scale refineries and I think there will soon be a medium scale refinery. Joyce speaking on refineries I would like to see British companies working with Ghana to get involved in some of the things that the companies need like establishing joint partnerships with Ghanaians to produce activated carbons, steel balls, tyres, bolts and nuts which are very important to the mining sector. That way, we can build another face of industrialisation through the mining sector." Joyce speaking on British partnership with Ghanian. First of all, I’d want to congratulate all young people for their boldness, resourcefulness, fearlessness and willingness to do new things. I’d like you to know that the future is yours and the future is today. You have to help shape your future directly and indirectly— do the things you want to see done. Don’t be complainers. The future is yours and the future is today. I think it’s on the ascendancy. Ghana has got interesting traditions in church music. With the charismatic wave, it looked as if choral music was waning. The story is different now. Currently, some Charismatic churches even have a separate choir for hymns and choral music. Growing up, we had no issue with mentorship because we had good parents who raised us well. They believed in honesty, respect, integrity and they passed these down to us. Nonetheless, Jesus Christ remains my greatest mentor. External links Category:People from Ghana Category:Living people
