I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done in life, any choice that I’ve made. But I’m consumed with regret for the things I didn’t do, the choices I didn’t make, the things I didn’t say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.
All of our neighbors had driveways, some
with fancy, cast-iron gates. None of them had cars, either.There was no future in which most of these families would ever have cars.There was maybe one car for every thousand people, yet almost everyone had a driveway. It was almost like building the driveway was a way of willing the car to happen. The story of Soweto is the story of the driveways.It’s a hopeful place.
British racism said, “If the monkey can walk like a man and talk like a man, then perhaps he is a man.” Afrikaner racism said, “Why give a book to a monkey?”
#İngiliz ırkçılığı diyor ki; bir maymun bir insan gibi konuşabiliyor ve yürüyüyebiliyorsa belki de insandır. Afrikaner ( Hollanda asıllı güney Afrikalı ) ırkçılığı diyor ki; neden bir maymuna kitap verelim.
People love to say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” What they don’t say is, “And it would be nice if you gave him a fishing rod.” That’s the part of the analogy that’s missing.
İnsanlar "Bir adama bir balık ver bir gün yer. Balık tutmayı öğret bir ömür yer. " demeyi severler. Söylemedikleri şey ise o adama bir de olta verirseniz güzel olacağıdır. İşte anektodun bu kısmı kayıp.
Nelson Mandela once said, “If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.” He was so right. When you make the effort to speak someone else’s language, even if it’s just
basic phrases here and there, you are saying to them, “I understand that you have a culture and identity that exist beyond me. I see you as a human being.”
My mother used to tell me, “I chose to have you because I wanted something to love and something that would love me unconditionally in return.” I was a product of her search for belonging. She never felt like she belonged anywhere. She didn’t belong to her mother, didn’t belong to her father, didn’t belong with her siblings. She grew up with nothing and wanted something to call her own.
I often meet people in the West who insist that the Holocaust was the worst atrocity in human history, without question. Yes, it was horrific. But I often wonder, with African atrocities like in the Congo, how horrific were they? The thing Africans don’t have that Jewish people do have is documentation. The Nazis kept meticulous records, took pictures, made films. And that’s really what it comes down to. Holocaust victims count because Hitler counted them. Six million people killed. We can all look at that number and rightly be horrified. But when you read through the history of atrocities against Africans, there are no numbers, only guesses. It’s harder to be horrified by a guess.
From an adult’s point of view, I was destructive and out of control, but as a child I didn’t think of it that way. I never wanted to destroy. I wanted to create. I wasn’t burning my eyebrows. I was creating fire. I wasn’t breaking overhead projectors. I was creating chaos, to see how people reacted.
And I couldn’t help it.

“Learn from your past and be better because of your past,”she would say,”but don’t cry about your past.Life is full of pain.Let the pain sharpen you,but don’t hold on to it.Don’t be bitter.”
