Maybe not.
In South Africa people generally have various respect levels for various jobs. A person sweeping the streets has the job title "Street sweeper" and it could be viewed as one of the least respected jobs. What happens when a street sweeper is associated with being a failur or having a low IQ etc all of which are terrible assumptions. These hardworking people are ridiculed and for what... making an honest living?
Maybe what we are, are the characteristics reflected in our work delivery. Traits such as passion for the final product/event/release and /or the internal newsletter. Having pride in what we do.
What if someone actually loved sweeping the street and they feel good about doing their bit for the environment and their country? Does it mean that they have no self respect for choosing a job "ranking" very low on the list of "most desired positions"?
According to an article in Time Magazine Online, 1963 a president has 6 qualities some of which are self restraint and inner calmness. Are these the characteristics reflected in the actions of Julius Malema as president of the ANC Youth League?
Is he what he is suppose to do?
