Day 1548: The Silver Lining in the Loadshedding Cloud

Leave a reply

There’s a silver lining in every cloud – that’s what I keep realizing.

 

It’s 12 : 05 PM on day 1548 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, pray, read Isaiah 33,   publish my Disability of the Day feature,   feed myself egg with bread for breakfast and promote my Educate Generations campaign–still on $1 090 but things are bound to improve 🙂

 

As I’ve mentioned before South Africa has been experiencing a series of power outages it’s an inconvenience but I’ve noticed that South Africa has not been this united since Nelson Mandela’s passing all South Africans are pissed off about this so while we may not have electricity we have national unity just goes to show there’s a silver lining in every cloud.   Do you see the silver lining in every cloud?

Day 308

A good leader has the power to unite his party while a great leader has the power to unite the entire country – that’s what I learned today 🙂

It’s 8: 44 PM on day 308 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, spend sixty-seven minutes tweeting about South African charities in honour of International Mandela Day – I wanted to go and help out my community but I couldn’t since both my parents were at work so I did what I could for seven different charities 🙂 – read Using Social Media for Charity: @Nisha360 is making a difference on The Nicky Blog and Causes I Promote on Monologues of a Dreamer only stopping to watch Dr. Phil and feed myself a hotdog for brunch – both of them are good posts and I’m not just saying that because I’m featured in ’em :)– tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign – no luck – watch TV, feed myself tapioca and fish curry for dinner, watch some more TV and brush my teeth once more.

This morning I was watching an extended broadcast of Morning Live – South Africa’s most popular breakfast show – which focused on what people around the country were doing to commemorate International Mandela Day and as I was watching it I realized that more than anything else he’s done Nelson Mandela’s greatest legacy is the oneness his name brings to the South Africa and the world. Are you a good leader or a great one?

Are we connecting on Twitter? If not, say hi at http://twitter.com/Nisha360

If you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://bit.ly/hC7vOu

Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.

Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!
