PROUDEST | MOST GRATEFUL MOMENT
This week I finished the final session, Governance of Ethics, of the Certified Director course offered by the Institute of Directors in South Africa (IoDSA). Besides always learning something new, I really am grateful for the new connections and interesting people that I have met along this journey.
On Heritage Day, 24 September 2011, this little Sweet pea made her entrance into our lives. I am so grateful for her. No duck, Hadeda or squirrel has been safe since...
The #ImStaying Facebook campaign has reconfirmed just how much I love our beautiful country and continent. I am proudly South African and going nowhere.
BIGGEST LESSON THIS WEEK / REMINDER
I found it incredibly interesting that Ghandi isn't as loved as I (and I suppose many), thought he was. India has donated a statute of him to be displayed in Cape Town, and more than half of the public comments received were opposed to the gift. Apparently he was quite a racist, how disappointing. A statue of Ghandi was also removed in Ghana last year because of these claims. Here's the full article via News24.
The other lesson / reminder this week, is from Admiral William H. McRaven:
"Start your day by making your bed. If you make your bed every morning, you would have accomplished the first task of the day. It will give you a small sense of pride, and will encourage you to do another task, and another, and another and by the end of the day, that one task completed would have turned into many tasks completed. Making your bed will also reinforce in your life that the little things matter. If you can't do the little things right, you'll never be able to do the big things right. And, in the case that you've had a miserable day, you'll come home to a bed that has been made, that you made. A made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better."
This could just as easily be under the previous heading too. I really like this advice from Anthony Hopkins:
"None of us are getting out of here alive, so please stop treating yourself like an after thought. Eat the delicious food. Walk in the sunshine. Jump in the ocean. Say the truth that you're carrying in your hear like hidden treasure. Be silly. Be kind. Be weird. There's no time for anything else."

One more, which I think is absolutely brilliant!
WHAT MADE ME GIGGLE
Have an awesome week everyone!
