I was born and raised in South Africa having recently immigrated to Toronto. I work in Risk at OMERS, which provides pensions for 500,000 municipal workers in Ontario. I am a perpetual student and take any opportunity to learn whether its podcasts on the train, ted talks before bed or reading /listenting to autobiographies.

“For to be free is not merely to cast off one's chains, but to live in a way that respects and enhances the freedom of others.” ― Nelson Mandela Agreeing to disagree: In a world with growing divisiveness and escalating tension and hate amongst people with differing opinions it is more important than ever for us to practice tolerance. Everything in life is perspective and when we are able to view something from a different perspective while we may not agree with it we do not need to let it fill us with hate.
