I think this letter on Leveraging is a call for us to bring Smartness into our Hardwork so that our 1 + 1 can make 20 or any other figure within the claws of our ambition.

The truth is, we can only achieve so much with our skills alone.

I listened to Vusi yesternight, and I can say your letter came at the right moment for me.

Keyword here is 'Underdog'. Vusi said to advance in this insane clime we are in Africa without nepotism or favouritism. You have to first accept that you are short-handed. i.e You are already on the losing side.

After that you keep emotions aside and progress. Because the two don't work hand in hand.

Progress from your letter is leverage. Leveraging on what you already have. And keeping the bubbling emotions of what you don't have away.
