And part of me wanted to be one of the important people - you know, the organisers, the ones all dressed up, facilitating, flying in to do the talk then jet setting off wherever else. The ones answering the questions while we listen.<br /><br />Lol :)<br /><br />It made me think of your post - my need for recognition! (By the way - I had almost exactly the same response to the 300 young South Africans as you! I read one or two then moved on... pretend disinterest... envy!)<br /><br />But I completely agree with you that we should really be getting out motivation from ourselves - not the need for recognition.<br /><br />Thats why I so admire Albert Luthuli - there was a guy who did the right thing because it was the right thing. Eventually he ended up being an important person, but he didn't start out trying to become an important person. He just started out serving people.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00453220932796951528noreply@blogger.com
