Alpha Blondy Posted May 7, 2013 a terrible day...... tired, too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alpha Blondy Posted May 7, 2013 A few weeks ago, I planted a young sapling in the garden at Villa Somalia to raise the issue of deforestation, and it got me thinking - what does a young sapling need for it to grow into a strong, healthy tree? It needs to be supported with a strong stake; it needs to be watered and fed; and it needs to be protected from animals that try to eat its soft bark and kill it. And so it is with this young sapling we have all planted, called Somalia. We need support; we need assistance and investment; and we need protection from those who try to knock us over. The first period of growth is always the most hazardous; where the most support and protection is needed. But as the bow thickens and strengthens, the tree needs less and less support, until finally it stands proud and tall and strong all on its own. opening speech of Hassan Sheikh Mahamoud, President of Somalia at the Somalia Conference.... interesting......

You just have to be firm with your boundaries and realize you're not being helpful when you find yourself doing more than you should. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
