Episode 21 #WisdomPersonified with Dudu Msomi

Loading player...
10 July is my sister, S'celo Msomi's birthday. This year would have been her 54th Born Day. I dedicate this Conversation with you to her.

The positioning of my life is: I may not be perfect, but I am always me: Dudu Msomi.

I was introduced to Rule Number 6 which is ‘Don’t take yourself so g—damn seriously' early in my working life.

It has really inspired a life journey of a lighter heart in the midst of a life that is characterised by a non-stop active mind and busy schedule that I thoroughly love and are honoured to live.

In not taking myself too seriously, I do take my identities that I choose to answer to: being an African and Dudu Msomi, very seriously. I strive to live my mission to exude and have authentic understanding and to leave the world a little better than I found it.

I have an insatiable hunger for knowledge and I tirelessly seek ways to nourish my curiosity and love of learning. I enjoy learning not just from books, institutions and media, but from the experiences of others. And then to be a conduit for other people who have interest, to also be able to benefit from the minds and knowledge that I have access to.

I must confess. Facilitating knowledge acquisition and exchange is my Ecstatic spot. Wisdom Personified Conversations with Dudu Msomi is one channel for facilitating, together with the work I do in Busara Leadership Partners, the strategic advisory and consulting firm I founded in 2009.

I hope you enjoy this conversation. The wise learning I have gained in doing the Wisdom Personified series is captured in this quote by Roy T. Bennett, "It doesn't matter how many people you meet in your life; you just need the real ones who accept you for who you are and help you become who you should be". And I hope as you travel on this Wisdom search journey with me, we will both be quoting the wisdom of African individuals more and more.
