And you are right; sometimes we have to choose between getting ahead and ubuntu and hopefully ubuntu wins.

Last night, I had no internet... grrrrr... <br /><br />This Bible verse sprang to mind: "For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"<br />Your post also made me think of this quote:<br />“We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with our fellow men; and among those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.”<br />― Herman Melville<br /><br />Thank you for reaching out across cyberspace to share in the spirit of Ubuntu!
