UBUNTU - The REAL Meaning of Teamwork
I just love this message, so I have to share it with my readers. Why is it that it often takes a tragedy to bring people together? We should join together to celebrate EVERY day. We have so much to be thankful for and to share with each other, yet so many are selfish and only think of themselves and their wants and needs.
There is MORE than enough for everyone to share and still be abundantly happy. Don't you agree?

UBUNTU - The REAL Meaning of Teamwork!
An Anthropologist suggested the following game to a group of children in an African tribe... He placed a basket full of fresh fruit under a tree. Then he said, whoever reaches the basket first in a race will be the winner of all the fruit.
As he gave the signal to begin the race, the whole group held hands and ran in unison to the tree. Then they sat down and enjoyed the prize together.
When asked why they had done such a thing, they replied; "UBUNTU"... 'How could one of us be happy (feel happiness) while the rest are in despair (unhappy)?'
In the Xhosa culture, Ubuntu means: "I am, because we are." Perhaps we could all learn a thing or two from the Xhosa people ;)))UBUNTU - The REAL Meaning of Teamwork!
