"There will always be nay-sayers who warn us that we are bound to fail at this or that. The important question to ask is not "Will I fail?" but "What do I stand to achieve?""

Problem
"A problem is a chance for you to do your best."
Duke Ellington
When there is a loadshedding or blackout - enjoy the quiet and reach for your candles and lamps.
When you are planted in a a place that it is difficult to be who you are,
do your best to be who you are anyway!
I was in the parking lot outside Pick 'n Pay Princess crossing where a whole row of neighbouring shops was burnt recently.
The car-guard was singing quietly
"This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine;
this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine.
This little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine;
let it shine, let it shine, let it shine!"
Yeah man!
