This is just so good from @zbswanepoel ... reasons to hang in there!

Everyone needs to hear this…

@SahilBloom Love this. Reminds me of a quote I read a few years ago…”Hope is a revolutionary act of patience!”

A lesson I wish I learned earlier: Patience is active, not passive. It’s working without validation. Holding the line when nothing seems to be happening. Trusting the process when the rewards are uncertain. Passive patience is a myth. Real patience demands daily action.

This is literally Worth GOLD!

Everyone needs to hear this…

Don't fall for the cynical genius illusion. The belief that cynics are more intelligent than the rest of us. The better predictor of intelligence is openness to new perspectives, new ideas, new beliefs.   Cynicism isn’t intelligence.

Major life cheat code: Learn to work without validation. Write when nobody’s reading. Build when nobody’s watching. Train when nobody’s cheering. It doesn’t take talent. It just takes courage. Those with the courage to work in the dark will eventually shine in the light.

@allonraiz Spot on! It’s exhausting….

The entrepreneur's relationship with the corporate. Multiple attempts to get an appointment. Great meeting. Multiple attempts to get a follow up meeting. Great meeting, send me a proposal. Multiple emails to get a response. "Congratulations you have the deal."

Wise advice Wharton's Adam Grant once shared with me... Never underestimate how important it is to people to have a sense of meaning in work they do. #Leadership #LeadFromTheHeart #HR

Mark Cutifani, Vale Base Metals, to provide the critical minerals (from Africa), we need access to ground to explore, information and the opportunity to target our efforts, partnerships for infrastructure development and transparent policy and its application #londonindaba #joburgindaba

Great relationships don't find you. They sculpt you.

This is good 💯 Pope Francis wrote this in the Hospital. “The walls of hospitals have heard more honest prayers than churches... They have witnessed far more sincere kisses than those in airports... It is in hospitals that you see a homophobe being saved by a gay doctor. A privileged doctor saving the life of a beggar... In intensive care, you see a Jew taking care of a racist... A police officer and a prisoner in the same room receiving the same care... A wealthy patient waiting for a liver transplant, ready to receive the organ from a poor donor... It is in these moments, when the hospital touches the wounds of people, that different worlds intersect according to a divine design. And in this communion of destinies, we realize that alone, we are nothing. The absolute truth of people, most of the time, only reveals itself in moments of pain or in the real threat of an irreversible loss. A hospital is a place where human beings remove their masks and show themselves as they truly are, in their purest essence. This life will pass quickly, so do not waste it fighting with people. Do not criticize your body too much. Do not complain excessively. Do not lose sleep over bills. Make sure to hug your loved ones. Do not worry too much about keeping the house spotless. Material goods must be earned by each person—do not dedicate yourself to accumulating an inheritance. You are waiting for too much: Christmas, Friday, next year, when you have money, when love arrives, when everything is perfect... Listen, perfection does not exist. A human being cannot attain it because we are simply not made to be fulfilled here. Here, we are given an opportunity to learn. So, make the most of this trial of life—and do it now. Respect yourself, respect others. Walk your own path, and let go of the path others have chosen for you. Respect: do not comment, do not judge, do not interfere. Love more, forgive more, embrace more, live more intensely! And leave the rest in the hands of the Creator.” —Pope Francis

@BrentLindeque So true. Thank you @BrentLindeque for making me laugh out loud!

From mirrors that give you an unexpected front-row seat while on the loo to hotels that believe orange juice belongs in a shot glass - these are just a few things that I believe could be tweaked to make travel even better. goodthingsguy.com/opinion/hotels…

@GuguStatu Oh no…. I’m so so sorry💔

#LOLAUpdate I'm on my way to the vet to choose Lola's cremation options. Our girl bowed out. I cannot tell you how broken my son and I are.

Laugh out loud funny.

There are many positives in South Africa's mining sector. Joburg Indaba chairman Bernard Swanepoel’s recently said that real change and improvements are on the horizon. @joburgindaba @zbswanepoel #whyafrica #whyafricaroadttrips Read more: whyafrica.co.za/bullish-outloo…
