by
Joseph Ezie Efoghor
South Africa's first black president and former leader of the African National Congress (ANC), Dr Nelson Mandela, would be 92 years on Sunday, 17th of July 2010. He has lived 92 years of purposeful leadership, productive and influential life; he has no doubt earned more respect than any other African leader, dead or alive.

7 Deadly Myths That Can Stop You From Succeeding
by
Tayo Solagbade
In many societies, it is normal for people to cultivate myths about different things. Successful persons sometimes discover - to their alarm and distaste - that untrue or imaginary stories have been told in social circles about their personal lives, and/or the source of their wealth or success. This human tendency to exaggerate, prevaricate or mythify is unlikely to abate - and so, for those who wish to avoid being misled, it is important to actively "test" what one "hears" before acting based on it. For instance, on the subject of pursuing and achieving success, various myths are propagated in different cultures about how to go about it. This article was written to debunk some of them.

Antigone - An Inspiration
by
MaryLou Driedger
Antigone is an unlikely hero. She is young. She is a woman. She is also the daughter of Oedipus, and comes from a highly dysfunctional family. Yet these factors don't hold her back from following her conscience.

How Can I Swallow The Bitter Pills Of Life?
by
Stephen Russell-Lacy
The best answer I have found is a spiritual one. In his book Personal Revelation, Michael Stanley offers us the view that bitter experience is often a crucial part of spiritual growth. This despite the fact that usually we read about spiritual illumination as an uplifting experience; a common view being that there is an initial sweetness of an elevated state of mind as you experience new-found hope of personal healing and meaning. However, Stanley suggests that inner awareness can also stir up some vaguely disturbing inner feelings. He gives as a reason the way you start to see yourself in the light of a deeper ethos; more clearly recognising some previously out-of-sight individual failings.

South Africa: Pressing for Black Liberation
by
Kijua Sanders-Mcmurtry
Recently, I was able to study abroad in South Africa as part of a doctoral program focusing on educational policy. We traveled there to study the educational system, and the country's efforts to overhaul the damage that years of oppression had on their educational institutions. Our greatest challenge as students was trying to conceptualize what this meant for the millions of South Africans who wanted to pursue higher education. We constantly talked about the roles colonialism, hegemony and racism played in the Apartheid structure, but I don't believe that any of us could fully grasp how this impacted the lives of people living this experience on a daily basis.

Successes and Failures: What Famous People's Lives Reveal
by
George Kouloukis
In the year 1990, an amazing turning point happened in the lives of famous people - men and women. A bad season ended that year 1990 and a good one started for some famous people, while on the contrary, an opposite alternations of seasons - a good season ended and a bad one started - for some other famous people. I cite some examples.

Succeed By Working Instead Of Whining
by
John Watson
Some humans waste a lot of time and energy on self-pity and whining when they could be using that wasted time and energy to improve their situation so that they have less to whine about. The dictionary defines whining as complaining in a childish, moaning kind of way. You will find a definitive example of this, from my own childhood, later in this article.

Business Ethics, Moral Authority and the Schools - The Curious Case of Why We Shouldn't Be Surprised
by
Michael Friedlander
Should we be surprised that those who conceived our most infamous scams and who then sold them so enthusiastically were alumni of our best business schools? Should we be surprised that those who saw what they were doing, but who stood by and did nothing, were also alumni of those same schools? Based on the performance of the deans of those schools, we should not be surprised. Curiously, the alumni were following the lead of the deans in addressing cheating...
