“Success for me is whether you have created something you can really be proud of. Nobody should be remembered on how much money you have made in life, but what matter is, whether you have created something special – something that made a real difference in other people’s lives”
In the year 1531 a Austrian monk was torchered by soldiers of the pope. Until his dead he kept secret where he hided his ‘Treaty about Power”. 400 Years later the ‘tractato’ was found in Florence.
The little book is a manual about obtaining power and absolute sovereignity. A quote (freely translated): “Powerful is somebody who is able to sow discord and take personal advantage of it”.
Many (would be) politicans try to be powerful but don’t always succeed in taking advantage of it.
But it might sound so for the easy to manipulate herds and that makes ANC-youth leader Julius Malema a power not to underestimate. History learns that demagogues are always believed by the masses. History also learns that demagogues don’t always have a high IQ and surely don’t die peacefully.

A monk and a nun on a camel are lost in the desert.
After days in the burning sun and no water well the camel drops dead and the nun and the monk realise that their last hours are counting away.
“Before I die” says the monk, “I want to see a naked woman. Will you please undress yourself”
So does the nun and she asks him to undress as well because she had never seen a naked man.
“What is that thing between your legs?’ she asks.
“Ah … uh … If I put that in you it will bring new life in you”, he replies.
The nun: “Better put in in the camel over there than”
The other day a mouse and an elephant were crossing a wooden bridge.
