Abstract

People often ask me how I could have survived under the conditions I had been subjected to in my life. The short answer is that if you are faced with adversity, you have no choice but to strive for survival. It is amazing what internal reserves come to the fore under stressful conditions—mostly reserves you did not even know you possessed until they are needed. —Mamphela Ramphele, Across Boundaries: The Journey of a South African Woman Leader
