With the victory of our Green-and-Gold rugby team still fresh in our minds, we can look at our country and say: Proudly South African. No matter where you live, you stay proud.
Yes, we hear some people complaining again about the holiday not being until December 15th, and about the weather, and load shedding; the complainers will always complain. The fact is that the complainant’s life will never improve.
Every singer and artist who visits our country to entertain us speaks from the same mouth: “South Africans have a ‘magick’. They have something different.’” We live in an incredibly beautiful country. Our people are hospitable and helpful.
Maybe we should focus more on living this ‘something else’, which causes the rest of the world to envy us. Despite the negatives, there are positives. That positive energy of yours will change your life—guaranteed!
Be proud Brakpanner, be proud South African. Stronger together!
I conclude with Dale Carnegie:
“Any fool can criticize, complain, and condemn—and most fools do. But it takes character and self-control to be understanding and forgiving.”
