Enjoy SA’s good news – while it lasts

It’s so easy to get fixated on headlines screaming disaster that we forget SA’s positive story is actually not mythical.

This article, republished courtesy of Moneyweb, is a timely reminder from respected economist Mike Schüssler that we, as a country, run the risk of self-destructing if we continue to persist in wallowing in negativity alone. Prophecies of doom and gloom may, in fact, be self-fulfilling, and life is certainly better today for many people than it was decades ago. Sure there's still a lot of work to do, but that work will never happen if we allow ourselves to slip into a culture of despondency.
