Mma Ramotswe reflects on the strength and dignity of certain men who possessed self-worth without being boastful. These individuals were confident and could engage with anyone, regardless of wealth or status. Their inner qualities allowed them to maintain their composure and respect in all interactions, whether in the presence of the affluent or those less fortunate.

She also reminisces about a time when people seemed to have less, yet they shared a sense of abundance in spirit and connection. Mma Ramotswe believes that during those days, the community's richness was overlooked, highlighting the value of humility and mutual respect over material possessions.
