[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

One of my commitments is to promote human values based on common sense and scientific findings. What we need is more self-confidence, which comes from concern for others' well-being. The real source of inner strength and self-confidence is warm-heartedness.

[Brent Lindeque @BrentLindeque]

One of my biggest lessons in this pandemic is that we are all fighting battles that we know nothing about... it’s important to be kinder than necessary or needed to everyone. Full stop. You have no idea what other people are dealing with. Try remember that. Lead with kindness.

@RovosRailTours From the beginning to the end of this journey has been a disaster. We booked this as a ten year wedding anniversary and had been looking forward to it. Any journey on the Blue Train is priced in line with that of a luxury hotel so I expect service of that nature

[United Nations @UN]

Over the past year, 1.5+ million people took part in a unique survey designed to learn more about people's hopes for the future - and how the UN can help them reach their aspirations.

Your full potential is generally bigger than your current or next job. We have been taught to reduce the horizons of our growth to what our professions have to offer, but that’s irrational. No one is their job. Your job is but a part of what you do, never what you can be.

[Business Day Supplier Development Awards @BDSupplierDev]

Ultimately, especially as we navigate a new and uncertain operating environment, the importance of supplier development cannot be underestimated. But how exactly can we as corporates make it work?

When new crises emerge, like the #COVID19 pandemic, displaced children are especially vulnerable. It is essential that governments and humanitarian partners work together to keep them safe, healthy, learning and protected. #AChildIsAChild https://t.co/DCUI7aHt1f

Rwanda is seeking to postpone debt repayments for at least two years to deal with the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic https://t.co/CxURZ8Npez

[Gillian Triggs @GillianTriggs]

The #COVID19 pandemic risks turning back hard-won gains for refugee children, on access to protection, healthcare and education.

We must protect them - to safeguard their wellbeing today, and their potential tomorrow.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

More than 1 million people were systematically murdered in just 100 days during the genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

We must never again let such an atrocity occur. We must say no to hate speech & xenophobia & reject the forces of polarization, nationalism & protectionism.

[António Guterres @antonioguterres]

A global recession – perhaps of record dimensions – is a near certainty due to the #COVID19 pandemic.

Our economic response must focus on people.

The recovery must not come at the expense of the poorest – and we cannot create a legion of new poor.
