Madame, this child is gifted.

And I heard that enough that I started to believe it.

If you have the opportunity, not a perfect opportunity,

and you don't take it, you may never have another job.

It all was so clear. It was just like the picture started to form itself.

There was no way in which a lie could prevail over the truth, darkness over light, death over life.

Every day I wake up and decide. Today I'm going to love my life.

Decide.

My advice is if they don't break your leg once when you go in that place stay out of there. And then along come these differential experiences that you don't look for, you don't plan for,

but boy you better not miss them.

I have an easy name, any European can say, any American can say,

any American can say,

too, too, too. That would be Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, trying to humbly argue here that his

name had something to do with why he was chosen for the Nobel Peace Prize in 1984.

Whereas if I had been something like my chalala,

that might have made it a little more difficult.

Well, anyone who knows anything about South Africa knows that Tutu was more than just an easy and fun to say name.

The Archbishop was one of the leading forces behind the dismantling of apartheid.

The Nobel Prize he received that year energized the movement against apartheid worldwide, but it would be another 10 years before that brutal

system of segregation was finally buried in the dung heap of history. I never sort of doubted that ultimately we were

going to be free because ultimately I knew there was no way in which a lie could prevail

over the truth, darkness over light, birth over life.
