It is important that you appreciate that the workplace must be a place of empowerment, but the empowerment must not only be connected to the job that you do.

You must stand for something! It does not have to be grand, but it must be a positive that brings light to someone else's darkness.

Empowerment is not about doing the same thing the same way in the same environment. It's about building the man and the woman and doing so with a view to creating better citizens and, by extension, better patriots in this society of ours.

Change is the only constant, and to turn one's back and pretend that it is not coming is an exercise in futility.

Globalisation must have, as a critical component, international dispensation in the locality of U.N. institutions. It cannot be, and must not be, business as usual in the establishment and location of international institutions, especially of the United Nations.

Peace and security of our planet must be based on the collective action of all nations, not a few, however powerful they may be.
