Default Peace on earth!!!

Speaking the language of the heart. We all have personal life goals and believe in importantant work and a balanced life.Sound familiar?

If you have blunt candour and devastating common sense, and above all believe in yourself, then you are half way through. Remember, the grass is always greener on the other side.

Where do you want to be in 5 years time?
Are you prepared to relocate?
Can you handle tough questions with confidence and still behave positive?
How would you describe yourself?
How would your manager describe you?

You are almost there!

Do you belong to the silent vocal minority or to the silent majority?

Our Credo runs something like this: That the only thing in life really having, and that is, personal freedom -freedom tempered, of course, by consideration
for the safety and comfort of those about us. Never forget that this freedom florishes in Namibia as nowhere else in the world. That this freedom has been
won by the perpetual vigilance, and the countless personal sacrifices of generations. That forces are at work to destroy this freedom, because its very existence is obnoxious to certain new and sinister forms of despotism.

That we ourselves ought to be prepared to go to any extreme of personal exertion and, if need to be, sacrife, to preserve this freedom for ourselves for our women and children, and for those who come after us, against any who may threaten them.

That our country is the stronghold of the world's freedom, and if it falls, freedom may perish from the earth. And therefore:
That at this difficult and critical moment in our history we ought to unite as a nation, whatever our station of interest in life may be, and dedicate our energies and if need
to be our lives to the cause of national security and peace; remember this, the better we show ourselves prepared to defend these ancient privileges, that less
likelihood there is that our right to them will be challenged.
I am not an agitator, or a one track mind. Russia or France, or the Americas or Germany can each have revolutions and get away with it, happy in the knowledge that,
if the worst comes to the worst, they can always scratch some sort of existence out of the ground at their disposal. We are differently placed.It certainly seems rather wonderful,
when we think back, that we have escaped explosive revolution during the last quater of the century of change.
The world still shatters and still heaves, and we are lucky indeed to have got over our own revolution in our own way. In spite of total absence of any noise of crushing and splintering,
we in this country have suffered a revolution, and indeed a successful revolution, during the quater of the century. You do not measure the real importance of a revolution by the noise it makes,
or the number of people it liquidates, but by the changes it brings about.

I know this will sound like Pietro (sorry, pal), but I cannot desist: From the way the world is going at the moment (Bhuto, global warming, global cooling (YES!), Iraq etc), shouldn't the title of this thread be:

"PIECES on earth?
