Gomolemo Lolo Madikgetla [UNGWA Africa] - Cocreating Meaningful Impact’s Post

🇿🇦🔥 What a game. What game. During the latter part of the Rugby World Cup semi finals, South Africa's Springboks sprung back to glory and lived out a quote from Malcom Gladwell's book, Outlier: "If you work hard enough and assert yourself, and use your mind and imagination, you can shape the world to your desires." They remembered who they are, and the game changed. As though they had Steve Jobs whispering these infamous words to them in the nivk of time, just enough to ignite their self-belief and can-do bravado: “Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square hole. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.” Micro lessons I personally learnt for the game and sportsmanship: - Refuse to give up when the odds seem stacked against you - When you think it's too late, it just might be YOUR TIME - Stay hungry - Take just one more strike - with everything you've got - Pray (even in the midnight hour) - Even the 'Ox' can be a G.O.A.T South Africa has just given the world a superb masterclass, hoisting the Africa continental flag.
