Happy birthday Tata Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela. You've made us proud.
Appropriately, even for a short while, we remember our humanity and realign our perspective and priority. It's a legacy or gift, if you like, that Madiba gives us still.
On a different tack, irresponsible political leadership negates the benefits of personal 'long-term' financial engineering. No amount of fancy footwork will help you one iota. Giving up 67 minutes of your time painting a hospital ward or donating 67 minute's worth of income from your business to a charity, although commendable obviously, has a questionable long-term affect. Perhaps we should rather spend the time in quiet contemplation and make a structural difference. Anything less is merely cosmetic or worse still, self-congratulatory.
