Missionary, mercenary or misfit?

Heard this funny tale today about how guys in Europe were viewed whenever they decided on a career change to move to Africa. Anyone who was coming down to Africa was either a missionary, mercenary or a misfit. My atheist friends would tell of how the European came to Africa initially with a bible...we had the land, and when he said let us close our eyes and pray, when we opened them, we were holding the bible and they had the land.

My favourite topic well..perspectives. What do you think you are doing when deciding on a path to follow. We sometimes make radical decisions and delve into the unknown, and it is fortitude and being firm and steadfast in sticking to your decisions that ultimately makes the difference. As they say, nothing comes easy. the harder it is, the sweeter the rest at the end. This does not mean you suffer blindly in the name of "stickability", a term coined by one famous Griffin in one of his career talks back in the day. If HE is beating you day in day out, abusing you and giving you a few (ok maybe a lot of) broken limbs, give up and look for something better. Perseverance is good, but it also has its limits. If that piece of work is making you mentally unstable from the stress...is it really worth it. Maybe you have a plan, that may excuse the "stickability" element, but weigh and think through what's best for you in the long run.

Don't ask me why I don't follow my own advice...well mganga hajigangi and there has to be someone who acts as an example, good or bad.

So do you think I am a missionary, mercenary or a misfit?..niambie nisikie
