Quote.

This quote is significant to Mathabane's life story because as he grew up in Apartheid Africa, Mathabane as well as almost everyone he knew needed a change. But, as human nature goes, everyone thought that it wasn't them to blame, but someone else. So really no one did anything about it. But Mathabane was one of the few that realized that it wasn't only the world he needed to change, but he needed to change himself, so he did things like promise to go to school for an education. Today if everyone found something about themselves that they could change, instead of finding things wrong with the world, maybe the world could become a better place.
