Dear Reader
You cannot beat a dead donkey and expect it to get up and run, much less run in a horse race. That is the situation with our dump. We are tired writing, reporting, opinionating and posting pictures and videos about this '
dump on fire again' situation. Nothing is ever done and nothing ever happens. That donkey has been beaten to death. It is just depressing.
Anybody - and we really mean - anybody opens their mouth just to 'talk' again about a solution for the dump or use the dump situation as an election campaign platform, we will simply tell them to
put their money where their mouth is.
Winfrey’s leadership has broken down barriers; her business instinct is stuff of legend; and her innovation is unprecedented. She has spent her entire career beating the odds – and has inspired millions of business-minded minorities in the process. Her entrepreneurial mind-set and willingness to take risks has paid off by propelling her forward throughout her career. Oprah’s leadership style demands that nothing should be taken for granted. “I don’t yell at people, I don’t mistreat people, I don’t talk down to people. Treating people with respect is the most important thing to me. It’s not just talk”. She has proven that it doesn’t matter from where you come; what matters is where you want to go, how you get yourself there, and how you treat people along the way. She has shown that to be a successful leader it takes courage and the ability to try new things, even in the face of uncertainty.
That is the kind of leadership that is required to solve the situation with the dump once and for all.
In the meantime, enjoy the newsletter and have a great week.
