Signifyin(g), Sanctifyin' and Slam Dunking
I hope, pray and believe that our country can be an example of how different cultures can come together to achieve great things. But for that to happen, love must drive out hatred and resent. This will not start with our politicians, but with us all.
Ek hoop, bid en glo ons land kan 'n voorbeeld wees van hoe verskillende kulture saam groot dinge kan bereik. Maar vir dit om te gebeur moet die liefde die haat uit dryf, dit gaan nie by politici begin nie, maar by ons almal.
'n Ontnugterende en inspirerende verhaal.
Ek hoop om dié kerngedagtes met my saam te neem:
1. Kyk 2 keer na die situasie waarin jy jouself bevind, jou omstandighede is kompleks en verdien dieper denke. Mense het geleef en gesterf vir wat jy het.
2. Al is jy hoe oortuig van jou opinies, luister na ander s'n. Om oningelig te wees baat niemand en verder sal jy baie makliker so die respek van ander kry.
3. Streef en pas direk in jou lewe toe dit waarin jy glo en waarnatoe jy jou wêreld wil stuur.
My eerste biografie wat ek lees, dit was makliker as wat ek gedink het.
Sal dit ook voorstel vir enige jong Afrikaner soos ek wat 'n bietjie meer oor die donker deel van ons geskiedenis wil leer.
