Right from childhood, my grandma has taught me to look for morals in any story and what great stories we have had from South Africa.
1. News: Maradona and Dunga failed to become the men who could win the world cup both as a player and as a coach.
Moral : It is not only difficult to practice what you preach but equally difficult to preach what you practice.
2. News : Spain vs Netherlands : One of the dullest finals in the history of soccer.
Moral : When you rely more on leg pulling than on your own legs, life tends to get boring!
3. News: Suarez hand defence spoils the party for Ghana and wins the game for Uruguay.
Moral : Throw up your hands! “He” will take care!
4. News : Paul, the octopus is in danger as many Germans are ready to have it cooked for dinner
Moral : It is always better to tell sweet lies than bitter truths. Saves you from getting fried! Working people can spell the last word as ‘fired’ !
5. News : Ghana’s leading scorers Gyan was the reason for its failure as he failed to score off a penalty.
Moral : Anyone who is leading may not actually save you. Applies to elections as well.
Sub moral : Never trust “gyan”.
6. News : Shakira’s waka waka is a big hit in this world cup
Moral : No matter , how fast the legs run, hips matter and hips are always above legs.
7. News : voo voo zilla sold like hot cakes despite the irritating noise!
Moral : Wanna sell something, make noise ; good or bad noise ; either of them helps!
8. News : Paul has done better than the experts of the game in predicting the games . He makes his choice by choosing his food wrapped in a country's flag.
Moral : You dont need any expertise to become famous. Just choose what you like and have a go at it. Rest is history.
