It is without doubt that 7 May will mark yet another milestone towards South Africa’s young democracy. There was real excitement from first-time voters, as well as older participants. But even more exhilarating was the thought that where you placed your mark (“X”) holds in it, the potential of this country.
This day had been contemplated in each voter’s minds for weeks. Not many had considered the tiresome wait in the queues, dehydration and kids getting hungry. Let’s face it, people wanted to put their vote on the ballot. That’s all. That’s what raced through their thoughts.
It was in anticipation of these types of “problems” that our team deployed members in the battlefield (voting stations). A group of individuals sacrificed their position in the queue for an opportunity to provide a solution to an apparent problem. They put their thinking caps on in order to solve the need for the voters, whilst they wait their chance in the booth.
With this opportunity in sight plans were quickly put into place, fresh and affordable refreshments were exchanged for money. The law of compensation was put into great effect, 1. A need for refreshments was there, 2. We had the ability to meet this need (refreshments and good salesmanship), and 3. We differentiated ourselves from other sellers (fresh and cheap refreshments were sold). There was no substitute for the goods we offered to the voters.
This is truly what freedom, and entrepreneurship means to us, the ability to apply our thoughts towards providing solutions for others without any prejudice, in exchange for money.
By thoughts we attracted money, and by action we received it, without violating the rights of others. This is a team called of duty.
WE THINK. WE CAN!!!
