He is a champion in his own right, both on the track and in life. He is a generous teacher and mentor.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/bkpublishing.blogspot.co.za\/2014\/05\/inspiring-champions-featured-in-you.html\" target=\"_blank\">Lees ook: Ons eie dramakoningin<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe is also exceptionally well-read and encyclopaedic in his ability to bring up the right inspirational story for the right situation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me, the most remarkable aspect of Henning is his humility and his sincere compassion for people. Unlike many authors, Henning doesn\u2019t write for himself. He writes for us, his readers. He writes to help us unshackle ourselves from the chains that keep us from reaching our potential.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mobserver.co.za\/69659\/fopnuus-is-ongesond-en-siek\/\" target=\"_blank\">Lees ook: Fopnuus is \u2018ongesond en siek\u2019<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cHenning also practices what he preaches. In \u201cInspiring Champions\u201d his first chapter is \u2018dare to dream\u2019. Henning is a dreamer. He also has the perseverance of a champion. And there is nothing more dangerous than someone who can dream wild and fantastical things, who is willing to go the whole distance to make them come true.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-73125\" src=\"https:\/\/mobserver.co.za\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/92\/2017\/10\/h18_32964-520x390.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"520\" height=\"390\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dwu32cgxelq1c.cloudfront.net\/local_newspapers\/sites\/92\/2017\/10\/h18_32964-520x390.jpg 520w, https:\/\/dwu32cgxelq1c.cloudfront.net\/local_newspapers\/sites\/92\/2017\/10\/h18_32964-270x203.jpg 270w, https:\/\/dwu32cgxelq1c.cloudfront.net\/local_newspapers\/sites\/92\/2017\/10\/h18_32964-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dwu32cgxelq1c.cloudfront.net\/local_newspapers\/sites\/92\/2017\/10\/h18_32964.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 520px) 100vw, 520px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Henning told me about the concept of \u201cThe Way of the Stonecutter\u201d, he was describing a very difficult book. A book which would have the author in conversation with the reader, while they ponder the meaning of life and explore the depths of the human psyche. The book he was describing was not usual, not the typical self-help book or business book. It would be a deeply personal journey with your own personal guru. Henning pulled it off. His book, is short, but very powerful. He had the guts to dream it up, the mental tenacity to go the distance and the skill to deliver.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mobserver.co.za\/17289\/geen-moed-geen-storie-geen-glorie-2\/\">Lees ook: Plaasaanvalle meer brutaal<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat\u2019s why I know that later this evening, when Henning tells me, \u201cI have an idea for a new book\u201d, the manuscript will be on my desk before Christmas and we\u2019ll be launching it next year.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Henning Gericke, well known psychologist, had the launch of his new book \u201cThe Way of the Stonecutter\u201d at Ho\u00ebrskool Menlopark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1848,"featured_media":73126,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"hasGravity":false,"cxt_article_byline":"Tobie van den Bergh","cxt_disable_google_ads":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2704,2887,2681,7,2,2886],"tags":[7832,7835,7834,7833,3,1954,1955,7836],"class_list":["post-73123","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-entertainment-news","category-general-sport","category-lifestyle-news","category-local-news","category-news-headlines","category-sports-news","tag-henning-gericke","tag-inspiring-champions","tag-olympic-swimmers","tag-psychologist","tag-sports-news","tag-springboks","tag-stormers","tag-the-way-of-the-stonecutter"],"category_labels":{"Category":"Lifestyle","SubCategory":"Entertainment"},"tag_labels":["henning gericke","inspiring champions","olympic swimmers","psychologist","Sport","springboks","stormers","the way of the stonecutter"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73123","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1848"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=73123"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/73123\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/73126"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=73123"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=73123"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/develop.citizen.co.za\/middelburg-observer\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=73123"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
