View of the Week: On Not Giving Up.....

As we go "dark"and gear up for a new week throughout #Outsiders , we wanted to share this courtesy of +Jonathan Huie which we follow closely here @ #Outsiders that underscores some poignant advise as a new week dawns here throughout the #Outsiders network:


Don't give up.
There are too many nay-sayers out there who will try to discourage you.
Don't listen to them.
The only one who can make you give up is yourself.
- Sidney Sheldon

Keep moving. Don't stop. But don't rush.
Don't race around.
Sure and steady gets you there every time.
- Neale Donald Walsch

You make a mistake, you keep going.
- Linda Gray

Achievement seems to be connected with action.
Successful men and women keep moving.
They make mistakes, but they don't quit.
- Conrad Hilton

A Week-End Musical Interlude: Romancing The Stone

This is the theme from an "oldie" but "goodie" which we hope all enjoy as we gear up for the New week here in #Outsiders:


Week-End Notations On Our World: On #South Africa

We have been watching with horror the reports out of South Africa as the violence against Foreigners has continued to escalate.      It was of great interest that as our founder noted this while on the Daily assessment on the Grid that the Nelson Mandela Foundation sent out:
The challenge for South Africa is to somehow overcome this.   Despite the fact that it ceded its' number one position to Nigeria as Africa's biggest Economy, it is still noted as a beacon of light.  However, this is another unfortunate indication of the level of discontent that exists in the Country that has seen foreigners actually leaving South Africa.    Who will be attacked next? Whites?  Will Nelson Mandela's legacy be ruined by his successors?

Profound questions.....
