Your friendly Officer, Checking in for lunchtime, it's a sunny, warm and beautiful day #BeSafe!
The general concept of Ubuntu has been widely used in different spectrums of our societal believe systems and practices, it has been pronounced, displayed and utilized as an identify camouflage before the eyes of the fanciful and yet naïve audience. It maybe pronounced in vernacular, and perhaps in many ways the terminology may suggests ethnicity or some kind of African ideology, and nothing could be further than the truth. Humanity or Humanness, the spirit of sharing and giving whole heartedly, spontaneous acts of kindness and making it your mission to put a smile on other people’s faces, appreciating others for who they, being considerate and affectionate, understanding that though we may not be equal in our diversity as individuals but our purpose as one people, is equally important and has a place and a pivotal role in society, these points entails what Ubuntu is all about in a nutshell. Now ask yourself this...have you ever done something that suggests the spirit of Ubuntu in your immediate environs?, have you made it your mission to put a smile on somebody else’s face without any apparent reason whatsoever?, have you experienced discomfort just so that another person can be comfortable in your space?, have you went out of your way to help a complete stranger and expect nothing in return?, have you ever exceeded your limits and probably your resources to accommodate orphans and be a beacon of hope to the needy? If you answered yes to any of these questions, then there is a glimmer of hope in the horizon not because you said yes, but because you now have something to think about and will probably convert these thoughts into a tangible action for the benefit of others. Let this be a preview of what 2016 will look like, a year of selflessness and acts of kindness, is not as difficult as it may seem, just look within and try to externalize that which genuinely feel about others, and let the true spirit of Ubuntu be a reigning force in your life!
When is the right time to start being logical?, from where I'm standing...this spells itself out, that each community need its local capital to succeed economically. With that being the case, let's start seeing each other as valuable assets, #LocalisLekker!
Just before leaving the university after a long day.
Chemists usually work 24/7/365 and always have deadlines. Always. Now for a paper, now for a grant. So after the experiments and a really long day, I’ll go home and write something.
Multitude of Microscopic Wonders Discovered in the World’s Oceans
““This is the largest DNA sequencing effort ever done for ocean science: analyses revealed around 40 million genes, the vast majority of which are new to science, thus hinting towards a much broader biodiversity of plankton than previously known,“ explains Patrick Wincker, from Genoscope, CEA. EMBL’s high performance computing was essential in compiling this comprehensive catalogue, which is estimated to be derived from more than 35 000 different species whose genomic content had been mostly unknown to mankind until now.” – http://oceans.taraexpeditions.org/en/m/science/news/first-scientific-results-from-the-tara-oceans-expedition/
