As Andrew Carnegie rightly said that “Men are developed the same way gold is mined. When gold is mined, several tons of dirt must be moved to get an ounce of gold; but one doesn’t go into the mine looking for dirt—one goes in looking for the gold.”
And yes, I believe that your arrival is going help add to the excellence of Go Africa.
