Dr Thabang Mofokeng on how SA's online stores can manage the 'deadweight loss of Christmas' John Burroughs "For anything worth having one must pay the price; and the price is always work, patience, love, self-sacrifice - no paper currency, no promises to pay, but the gold of real service." Albert Einstein "If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed." Wade Boggs "A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results." Martin Luther King, Jr. "We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love. There is some good in the worst of us and some evil in the best of us. When we discover this, we are less prone to hate our enemies." |
