I’m from a place where ‘aspiration’ is the name of the game
I’m from a place where ambition is the order of the day
I’m from a place where the cost you pay for career advancement may very well be your health
Where people actually need peace, not necessarily the shallow escapism they worship
I’m from a place where it isn’t always easy to tell where vain ambition ends
and virtuous ambition commence
I’m from a place called Johannesburg
