South Africa: People of Resilience
Resilience: The ability of a person to handle crises, change, setbacks and surprises in a healthy manner.
South Africa has many examples of people who have shown resilience in the midst of turmoil, financial problems, lack of opportunity and hatred of the opposition. One such person we all know is Nelson Mandela. It says in Christo Brand's book: My Prisoner, My Friend that when Mandela's warden asked him, "why are you studying?" that he answered, "I might get out one day and then I need to be ready".

Give as much as you can (within reason)
Giving
is a beautiful way of serving yourself and others. Benedict of Nursia (400
A.D.) gave the following definition for power: ‘power is the freedom to serve’.
Alternatively you could say the following: having money gives you the freedom
to serve. Money brings lots of possibilities. Chances to support others, to
create things with others, to help the weak, to build a healthy future together
with the new generations.
