Why oh why??
People from my indigenous racial ties have the tendency for quickness in associating ties with international personalities.
The sad thing is back home, (and probably elsewhere??) my people continue to possess so called "crab mentality'. This is the phenomenon where people pull each other down in times of achievements instead of pushing each other up.
The good news is, we also tend to thrive and achieve remarkable accomplishments when we are in an environment full of oppression, discrimination and tyranny. Paradox to say the least.
Again, this is my observation and does not represent the sentiment of the general majority.
Does this mean we need to cultivate such an environment (oppression, tyranny and discrimination) in our own homes in order for people to step up and achieve unprecedented heights???
Food for thought!

Actually, it has been found that crabs, when placed inside a pot or cauldron, they will tend to "build" ladders by placing themselves one after the other on the wall of the pot, until they are able to climb out. Interesting, isn't it? If that is "crab mentality", what do we then call the thing that humans do?
Think through...
