A LATE REVIEW OF SKYFALL

 Due to the hype of Skyfall I decided to watch it (what a disappointment). I was very confused at what the directors wear thinking with some of the scenes. Firstly, they started with a scene that showed contradiction with our knowledge of MI6. MI6 is a secret intelligence agency and what we saw there was an amateur car chase as messy as a baby’s diaper. Secondly, remember the Bond girls James Bond has had in history? Unfortunately this time history didn’t repeat itself. The previous experience of the American actress Denise Richards in The World Is Not Enough to Halle Berry in Die Another Day compared to this year's Naomi Harris didn’t live up to the part. Thirdly, the movie took too long to start, I don’t know whether it was because of a deal they had with Adele because we probably listen to the whole song. After the long wait the only exciting thing was when Javier Bardem took his false teeth off, which was a minute out of a 143 minute movie. I’m truly disappointed that a person who won a Golden Globe Award directed a movie of that nature and that a woman of Judi Dench’s calibre can star in it. I've watched a 248 minute movie (The Lord of the Rings) that I am sure to repeat, but I shall not be caught dead repeating this one. I would rate Skyfall at 4/10; and only because it has Daniel Craig.  It is disappointing that 92% of the reviews were positive.

CAREER EXPO

Posted on Apr 30, 2012 at 14:33 Views: 35

A lot comes into making the choice of which degree/diploma you should obtain, the cost to obtain it, the availability of jobs for people with such a degree/diploma, your passion for the jobs such a qualification could get you, and the difficulty of the degree/diploma.

For quite some time I was of the idea that if I met the requirements for a degree I was automatically capable of doing it. Fast track three years later and a lot of moments of disillusion, and I’ve realised that this is not necessarily true. I’ve come to realise that one’s capabilities at high school do not necessarily translate into one doing well at university and I feel that this reality is not stressed highly enough to people leaving high school. This is why I think that intense career education is needed; to not only help the learners who at that moment have yet to make up their minds, but also to help those who have made a decision discover whether the decision they’ve made is in fact the right one.

At few months ago my sister and I had suggested to the KwaZulu Natal Department of Education that it holds a series of Career Expos for matric learners. At these Career Expos, learners would have access to information from different higher education institutions as well as qualified advisors, at their disposal. Although this suggestion was aimed at making information about the vast amount of options that exist out there available to the learners, it could also, with the help of the advisors, assist learners in making realistic decisions with regard to their future. By winning this competition it could help us jump start this plan and hopefully convince the government to lend us a hand. Please find a more detailed proposal by clicking on the link below.

Career Expo Proposal  

A proposal that my sisters worked on for our province, which is something that only private schools get the opportunity to experience.

PRIORITIES

A few weeks ago I published an article about priorities. Yesterday while reading an update of one of my facebook friends and I quote "They are jealous that we can spend our R1500 or R1800 which lead me into researching these facts an isikhothane also referred to as the born again spend R5000 on an outfit. Many of these children don't come from affluent background their parents don't have the best jobs and they aren't reach most of them are factory workers than you have to ask yourself the question why do they do this and they don't have an answer for this question. There is another scenario of the famous Mark Zuckerberg chooses to wear the same clothes everyday where by he is number 36 in the forbes 400 worlds richest people being worth $9,4 billion. After these situations I asked myself why do people invest so much on such a fast depreciating product. my heart aches for the parents that have to deal with children of this nature while knowing their financial status after all we are not talking about 10 year olds we are talking about 16-25 year olds. It is time that people got their priorities straight because a fad doesn't last as long as a classic.

CAN WE CHOOSE WHEN OR WHERE WE HAVE INTEGRITY?

John .C. Maxwell wrote the important ingredient to leadership is integrity. This is his and my perception of it:

The dictionary defines integrity as the state of being complete, unified. When I have integrity, my words are my deeds match up. I am who I am, no matter where I am or who I am with. Sadly integrity is a vanishing commodity in our society. Personal standards are crumbling (like the walls of Jericho) in a world that has taken to hot pursuit of personal pleasure and short cuts to success and that is how we get Ponzi skims. In  a cartoon in the New Yorker, two clean shaven men are sitting in a jail cell. One inmate turns to the other and says “All along, I thought our level of corruption fell well within community standards.” The White House, The Pentagon, Capitol Hill, the church, the sports arena, the academy, even the day care centre have all been hit hard by scandals. In every case, the lack of credibility can be traced back to the level of integrity of the individuals within those organisation and institutions. A person with integrity doesn’t have divided loyalties(that’s duplicity), nor is he or she merely pretending(that’s hypocrisy). People with integrity are ‘whole’ people; they can be identified by their single mindedness. People with integrity have nothing to hide and nothing to fear. Integrity is not what we do so much as who we are. And who we are in turn determines what we do. Integrity binds our person together and fosters a spiritual contentment within us. It will not allow our lips to violate our hearts. When integrity is the referee, we will be consistent, our beliefs will be mirrored by our conduct. We sometimes get confused by weighing our deception my sister once pointed out that we usually complain about corruption when it is harming us. It is the same thing as person complaining about how many millions the government is corrupting but then goes on and does the same thing by lying for financial aid whether it is saying your parents don’t work because they were once retrenched or it is lying about living with your gran mother when your parents are able to pay for your fees. God says all sins are the same whether you committed adultery or you didn’t love your neighbour as you loved yourself so you should ask yourself what is the name of a small fraud or a big fraud. It’s time to start living an honest life which will be something hard to do. Start by telling your teacher if they gave you extra marks.   

I COULD WAIT YEARS

Waking up this morning I feel sick as if my body is shutting down on me. Instead of being constipated my stomach is runny (darn those chicken wings) I should have had my periods two days ago which is unusual for me all this is happening before my morning tea (curse it). Well I thing I have the cause of all this mass distraction, in 08 days’ time I will be getting my results I don’t know if other countries do this but in South Africa every year in the beginning of the year results of students who passed theirs matriculation year are posted on the national paper for everyone to see if they know your initials and surname, that’s what I will be going through in 8 days’ time so I think my body is feeling that stress so it is acting out, I don’t know how many mornings I’ll have to deal with this but I just hope it doesn’t take long. Personally I wish my results won’t be on the paper without my permission but that doesn’t bother them. So I just going to hope, pray and cross my fingers that the results are good so I’m sure that waking up with natural tea extract and butternut squash mash (lol sometimes alliteration just comes up without intent) everyday will help cheer my body. What a way to enjoy your holidays right.

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?

So today I was reading an article in True Love magazine and it was about the death of Osama Bin Laden, well being that I’m not American and I didn’t encounter the lose that some people did in the incident of 9/11. But I’m sure that as a South African and having only having freedom in our country 5 months before my birth I would say a lot of us had reason to rejoice in the death of our oppressors but we chose a different path, this is what the article about it’s about answering the question “Do we lose our humanity because of our brutal experiences?”. These are the exact words of Michael Moore ; “When I heard the news, I immediately felt great. I felt relief. I thought of those who lost a loved one on 9/11. I was thrilled that the Osama Bin Laden era was over. Being near Ground Zero that night, I decided to head over there and join the others who saw this event a chance of getting closure but before leaving I turned on the TV and what I witnessed was a frat boy-style party going on, complete the shaking and spraying of champagne bottles over the crowd. I completely understand people wanting to celebrate –like I said I too, was happy- but something didn’t feel right”. Americans pride themselves in the word of God, Jesus, Thomas Jefferson and Martin Luther King the same way that we pride ourselves in the words of Nelson Mandela do you really think that those people would approve of the death of more than 5000 troops, thousands of civilians in Iraq and Afghanistan and also losing $1,2 trillion that could have bettered the country but it instead was used to hunt a person that after his death nothing changed. My intention isn’t to belittle what happened in 9/11 but it is to show the nation that allowed the Nazis to have a trial, the nation that is the head of the United Nations that they spent 12 million millions dollars in trying to find a person than rather insuring that the families that lost people during that incident felt that the country was with them but what happened was the same as the Prince of Scotland beheading Macbeth because he killed his father but this time Osama’s death was expected to give thousands of people closure which doesn’t make sense to me. Have we as humans lost our humanity that other man’s grief gives us pleasure. At the end of this publish I realised that this issue is debatable because even though as South Africans we chose to live in peace we are still living in fear of the fact of an  Afrikaner government ruling the country so I presume the only way that Americans felt safe in their own home was when Osama was killed but we also that Iraqis and Afghanistan natives experienced that feeling of not being safe at home because of the war Americans brought to them. Was there really a solution best fitting for everyone or was it just all up to who wins? Decisions that come out of situations like these make true legends.    

ORIGINALITY IS SOMETHING WE CONSTANTLY CLAMOUR FOR, BUT CONSTANTLY QUARREL WITH - THOMAS CARLYLE

As humans we worry about our originality or we lack it. We have wondered if people will accept our things if they are based on what has been said before. Which makes it hard to start a blog. Starting a blog is hard because you have these options you either become original and people appreciate it or they don't or write  about what is interesting to people at that time which leads to wondering if stats mean more to you than your material because after all originality is the ability to express oneself in an independent or individual manner. As a person who is fond of music I have always been strict on musicians. I didn't like bed rock because it had a line from "Face off" the movie with John Travolta and Nicholas Cage, I also didn't like heart boxing love because it had a line from "Not over you" by Gavin Degraw but today when I was going to bed I found myself thinking about my blog  whether it is original or not because a lot of posts are about current news not something I have wrote myself but things I have found in other articles, just now I published a poem by Thom Gunn and I only wrote a few lines that were mine. So I asked myself if I am going to take credit of other writers work or am I going to start to write what I Mmabatho Molefe feel and comprehend. So from now on everything you will read in this blog will be my heart felt work maybe inspired by other things but truly me. That I PROMISE!!!   

YOU CAN NEVER SAY YOU ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING

On The Move 'Man, You Gotta Go.'

The blue jay scuffling in the bushes follows
Some hidden purpose, and the gush of birds
That spurts across the field, the wheeling swallows,
Have nested in the trees and undergrowth.
Seeking their instinct, or their pose, or both,
One moves with an uncertain violence
Under the dust thrown by a baffled sense
Or the dull thunder of approximate words.

On motorcycles, up the road, they come:
Small, black, as flies hanging in heat, the Boy,
Until the distance throws them forth, their hum
Bulges to thunder held by calf and thigh.
In goggles, donned impersonality,
In gleaming jackets trophied with the dust,
They strap in doubt--by hiding it, robust--
And almost hear a meaning in their noise.

Exact conclusion of their hardiness
Has no shape yet, but from known whereabouts
They ride, directions where the tires press.
They scare a flight of birds across the field:
Much that is natural, to the will must yield.
Men manufacture both machine and soul,
And use what they imperfectly control
To dare a future from the taken routes.

It is part solution, after all.
One is not necessarily discord
On Earth; or damned because, half animal,
One lacks direct instinct, because one wakes
Afloat on movement that divides and breaks.
One joins the movement in a valueless world,
Crossing it, till, both hurler and the hurled,
One moves as well, always toward, toward.

A minute holds them, who have come to go:
The self-denied, astride the created will.
They burst away; the towns they travel through
Are home for neither birds nor holiness,
For birds and saints complete their purposes.
At worse, one is in motion; and at best,
Reaching no absolute, in which to rest,
One is always nearer by not keeping still. 

This shows us that as long as we are moving we are doing something, if someone who starts of as negative as Thom Gunn but ends up saying that we are moving than our purpose is never lost even if we are going at 20km/h as long as you are moving you are doing something so never lose faith.

ONE DIRECTION TO MPUMALANGA

So that day has finally come we are going to mpumalanga and my sister decided that she wants us to One Direction believe me you she is 22 and she works for Coronation.Don't believe it? me neither. Well we still have about six hours to go but with my sit belt on and the music loud nothing is going to stop my road trip spirit. 

SHOULD ONLY AMERICA WORRY ABOUT THE FISCAL CLIFF?

The term when america sneezes everyone catches a flu might be thee most scary thing to other countries. With only 8 days to come up with a solution to the fiscal cliff can really a small panel of people come up with a solution because after what happened in France can they raise taxes without the worry of people relocating. This is an article from fin24:
 US 'fiscal cliff': No deal in sight

Nov 30 2012 22:07 

 

Barack Obama (Picture: AP)

Washington - Washington politicians have one month to step back from the so-called "fiscal cliff," across-the-board tax hikes and austerity-driven spending cuts likely to return the country to recession, and a top Republican declares there has been no real progress after two weeks of talks between President Barack Obama and a divided Congress.

The president has called for settling the issue before Christmas and headed on Friday to Pennsylvania to campaign for his demand that any deal include higher tax rates on US couples earning more than $250,000 a year. 

He also wants to keep in place the smaller tax burden that lower income earners have had for about a decade.

But Republican House Speaker John Boehner, after receiving details of the Obama plan in a private meeting on Thursday with Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner, said "no substantive progress has been made" in negotiations since Congress returned to work after the 6 November election.

"Much to my disappointment, it wasn't a serious one," Boehner said on Friday of the proposal.

Democrats have said that any delay was the fault of Republicans who refuse to accept Obama's call to raise tax rates on the richest Americans.

I hope South africa has a plan to deal with this crisis which is something every country should do.

HOW ARE WE SUPPOSE TO KEEP THE ECONOMY AFLOAT WITHOUT HARMING THE COUNTRY OR THE POOR

More than 400 €1million homes put on the market in Paris since socialist Francois Hollande elected to power

• Selling 'panic' on France's luxury property market as millionaires rush to flee looming tax hikes

• Recruitment agency for high-paid banking jobs in London sees increase in French candidates

France's luxury property market has hit a selling 'panic' as millionaires rush to flee the socialist government's looming tax hikes, a leading estate agent has revealed.

More than 400 Paris homes worth more than €1million have been put on the market since President Francois Hollande came to power in May - more than double the same period last year.

Many of France's super-rich want to escape to 'wealth-friendly' countries like Britain, Switzerland and Luxembourg.

Exodus: The super-wealthy appear to be abandoning Paris (pictured) for wealth-friendly countries. A total of 400 homes worth more than 1million euro in the French capital have been put on the market since May

The exodus has been triggered by a new higher tax of 75 per cent on all earnings over €1million - £780,000 - which will come into force later this year.

They also fear more tough new taxes on moving money overseas and sales of company shares.

Paris estate agent Daniel Feau said: 'It's nearly a general panic. Some 400 to 500 residences worth more than €1million have come onto the Paris market since May.

'And the profile of those who are leaving has changed, from the idle rich to managers of major international corporations and entrepreneurs who are scared of a marginal tax rate of 62.21 percent on sales of stock.'

Thibault de Saint Vincent, president of Barnes France estate agents, added: 'With the Internet it is now possible to work in any corner of the world.

'Those who are going abroad fear a future taxes on income and capital movements.'

Looming tax rise: France's super-wealthy have been looking to relocate since Francois Hollande (pictured) came to power

In London, recruitment agency Astbury Martin - which specialises in highly-paid banking jobs - said it had seen a 51 per cent in applications from French jobseekers.

Managing director Jonathan Nicholson said: 'There is a definite spike in French-speaking candidates.

'We have not seen similar increases in candidates from other countries, so it may well be connected to May's change in government in France.'

A separate survey by website Totaljobs.com revealed 42 percent of French workers were willing to move to the UK, compared to only 32 percent of the global workforce which would be happy to work in France.

And British estate agent Sotherby's said its French offices sold more than 100 properties over €1.7 million between April and June this year - a marked increase on the same period in 2011.

Sotheby's French boss Alexander Kraft said: 'The result of the presidential election has had a real impact on our sales.

'Now a large number of wealthy French families are leaving the country as a direct result of the proposals of the new government.

'These properties are then bought up by foreign investors looking for a stable real estate market like France to invest in.

'It shows the high-end property market is holding up very well, even in these difficult times.'

And a report earlier this year by British estate agent Knight Frank said the tax plans had sent French interest in luxury London homes rocketing.

Inquiries from wealthy French for London homes worth more than five million pounds soared by 30 per cent in the first three months of this year, the statistics showed.

And interest in homes worth between one and five million rose by 11 per cent, it was found.

Heading for the UK? London recruitment agencies that specialise in highly-paid banking jobs had seen a 51 per cent rise in applications from French jobseekers

Liam Bailey, Knight Frank's global head of residential research, said: 'Evidence from web search activity backs up a noticeable spike in anecdotal comments from our office network, where French applicants have become much more noticeable in recent months.'

Prime minister David Cameron angered the French in June when he said he would 'roll out the red carpet to wealthy French citizens and firms who wanted move out and pay their taxes in Britain.

He told the B20 business summit in Mexico: 'If the French go ahead with a 75 per cent top rate of tax we will roll out the red carpet and welcome more French businesses to Britain and they can pay tax in Britain and pay for our health service and schools and everything else.'

The comments left one French politician so offended he suggested Mr Cameron must have been 'drunk' when he made them.

Gallic MP Claude Bartolone, a staunch ally of President Hollande, said: 'I hope that it was an after-dinner remark and that he didn't have all his wits about him when he said these things.'

France's European Affairs Minister Bernard Cazeneuve insisted there was no 'exodus', adding: 'What I can answer to this statement from the British prime minister is that French bosses are patriots.

'There is a range of measures we will take in favour of business, measures that will support investment and encourage business to stay in France

Is there really a single person who can come up with a solution that will suit everyone?

A FRESH START

so I have decided that after sometime you need to change things. I have changed my look a lot of times and I bet a whole lot of people have as well. My holidays are starting on monday and I hope I will be able to share everything with you. First stop is Mpumalanga I will be spending time with my nieces and nephews. Yesterday I experienced something that I have been finding hard to deal with. Yesterday night I went jogging with my mom/mum and sister and we were jogging at the beach meaning a lot of people were there but that wasn't my problem, my problem was that as a child I have battled with being overweight and I am trying to rectify that as an adult but because being fat people usually notice everything you do even if it's your first meal of the day they say you over eat that's what happened to me I was taking a breather because I had been jogging and I told my mom/mum and sister to carry on but a few males came past while I was taking that breather and they said shame she can't even run which triggered my insecurities because I come from a family of achievers and lately I have been feeling average. All my sisters received bursaries to go to University and they all went to UCT which is South Africa's number one but I have had average marks the best achievement I have received is being first in the Consumer Studies Olympiad which other people don't even know exists and I didn't get to a University in Cape Town and also University of Pretoria rejected me and I only got into Durban University of Technology which is a place where we grew up and never thought of going. I just hope that I can do something that my parents will be proud of and I will be proud of but what I have realised is that you are only proud of yourself when you compared yourself with yourself the you will see the improvement. So I hope that everyone that is reading this is able to accept themselves for the way they are. After all Bruno Mars said that WE ARE AMAZING JUST THE WAY WE ARE!!.    

ARE WE REALLY LISTENING?

If you need convincing as to the extent of gender violence in South Africa, you should check out the results of research carried out by Gender Links in four South African provinces between 2010 and 2012. Admittedly, the research construed “violence” quite broadly – not just physical or sexual abuse, but also emotional and economic – but nonetheless, the figures are still shocking. Seventy-seven percent of women in Limpopo, 51% of women in Gauteng, 45% of women in the Western Cape, and 36% of women KwaZulu-Natal reported having experienced some form of violence perpetrated by men against them within their lifetime.   These are the statistics shared by the daily maverick , after 16 days, countless songs and money spent by the government in campaigning against it really going to use. Do not get me wrong I am not expecting the statistics to just diminish because a few musicians sang about it but what I want to know is that, Is it going to turn into the whole valentine's day story where you get pampered only for that day or are South African citizens going to address the situation. I'm sure that it's not only in South Africa that you face these kind of situations but once women abuse is referred to as one of your country's favourite sports you know that you have to intervene so I urge every one to stand up against women abuse and not only on the 25 of November to the 11 of December but in our everyday life because where would we have formed besides our mothers wombs and I know that they are other options these days but just go with it. Start by saving your mom/mum.

PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN

it is things like these that make you appreciate the people that come from your country comment and tell me about the people you admire in your countries.

SAD STATISTICS

If we could shrink the earth's population to a village of precisely 100 people, with all the existing human ratios remaining the same, it would look something like the following:

There would be:
57 Asians
21 Europeans
14 from the Western Hemisphere, both north and south
8 Africans

52 would be female
48 would be male

70 would be nonwhite
30 would be white

70 would be non-Christian
30 would be Christian

89 would be heterosexual
11 would be homosexual

6 people would possess 59% of the entire world's wealth and all 6 would be from the U.S.A.
80 would live in substandard housing
70 would be unable to read
50 would suffer from malnutrition
1 would be near death; 1 would be near birth
1 (yes, only 1) would have a college education
1 would own a computer

So if this was true than that means I would probably not be blogging and I wouldn't be blessed with sharing this with everyone of you that is viewing.

TEAM ED SHEERAN

I don't usually listen to the same album for more than 5 times in one day. If anything I would like to give props to Ed a true musician

A REVIEW OF ED SHEERAN

We live in a world where we wonder if love exists, where the word love is used countless times that we struggle to even decide who to believe. We have listened to music and we can't decide whether its love or a person just trying to sell an album. I have tried to find music that I feel conveys true love from Warren Barfield to Michael Bublé but no one seems sincere as Ed Sheeran not only because he uses good words but because he is singing what he has experienced while writing that specific song. The truth in music has been lost because of the gap between writer and singer, it's like telling someone else's story. If musicians emulated Ed Sheeran then music would be what it once was because between Frank Sinatra and Trey Songz music has lost its way completely.

1000 Remarkable Facts About Booze

So I just started reading this book by Richard Erdoes . My first thoughts when I read the heading  was that it would be witty and humorous but it is actually historical. These are five of those facts :

v According to Egyptian tradition, beer and wine were invented for humans by the goddess Isis.

v The mighty baron Jan Primus once imbibed 72 quarts of beer during the course of one evening.

v A favourite motif for 16^th century German engravers was a priest or monk quaffing mightily accompanied by the written legend, “Ich trink fuer Alle!” meaning I drink for all.

v One of vodka’s greatest attractions has always been that it leaves no odour of alcohol on the drinker’s breath. During the 1950s, one brand was advertised under the slogan “Wifey won’t know.”

v Monks did not only brew the beer of Merry Old England, they also drank it copiously :

To drink like a Capuchin is to drink poorly,

To drink like a Benedictine is to drink deeply,

To drink like a Dominican is pot after pot,

But to drink like a Franciscan is to drink the cellar dry,

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT (george michael and maeby)

So I have been watching Arrested Development and I have been thing about this thing between George Michael and Maybe. Is it really wrong to be in love with your cousin because I have known a few people who have dated their cousin. Does it matter whether it’s your first cousin, second or third cousin?  Charles Darwin famously married his cousin Emma and went on to have 10 children. Other first cousin couples include HG Wells and Isabel Mary, and Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, along with many of the royal family at that time. It is only in more recent times that "kissing cousins", as they are sometimes known, make us feel uncomfortable. When the actor Greta Scacchi fell in love with her first cousin, Carlo, and had a son in 1998, it was frowned upon by the tabloids as well as the Catholic church. In cultures such as Indian cultures cousin marriages have been seen as a normal ritual. The question is what has changed in between these years that has made cousin marriages such a disgrace? Because after all doctors say that the medical excuses have bee exaggerated. 

WHAT IS FRIENDSHIP?

I have asked myself the question what is a friend for a very long time. If some one had asked me 5 years ago if I had friends I would have said yes I would have actually said I have best friends but as years have progressed I have failed to find the meaning of friend. I have been in two high schools but I haven’t had friends. People define friendship differently some call the people the hang out with friends, some say it’s the people that know the most secrets about them. I say friendship is when you forget that you and that person are not related to you. My specific problem is that I believe that people at school don’t know the real me but it’s because at school I am a different person but it’s because they don’t know me that much. I haven’t had that bond with a person it’s not because I don’t want to but it’s because that person already has their own person. I really need to have social classes because I can’t keep friends and maybe part of it is because I am possessive I can’t deal with having a friend who turns to another friend for support if anyone knows what that is can they please tell me I also want to have that person that I have been friends with for 10 years. I want to have my own JAKE or MING (if you didn’t know they are from awkward). I had planned to write about celebrities in order to attract more readers but I just had to write about this.I know this is all over the place and please forgive me for that I am still trying to get used to it.

WRITERS BLOCK

So lately I haven't been able to write  anything in my blog. I'm suppose to go to cape town but my friends family has been facing financial problems so there are chances of her not going but I'm scared of not going with her because I think she will see that we weren't able to go because she wasn't able to afford it. I'm sorry  that I haven't been talking fir a while but not a single person has commented on my publishes but I'm being patient because that is what I'm being told. Lol I don't want to start being needy

TOO MANY PRIORITIES PARALYZE US

The stool is the most important thing to an animal trainer because the animal tries to focus on all legs of the stool at once this then overwhelms the animal which makes it weak because its attention is fragmented. well that's the same thing that happens to us humans because we try to take on so many things at once never choosing that is more important or attention is fragmented and we become and if we are that weak will we than be able to finish all the things that we have undertaken. Take an example of a store owner who spends so much time cleaning their store that they forget to open the front door so the customers come in because the owner prioritiesed something that was not their initial plan it prevented their initial plan from succeeding. So what we should always remember is to know what we want and choose things that will help promote our ultimate goal instead of spending time with things that are of no need. Whenever you feel as if you cant do that remember this poem by William .H. Hinson

"He who seeks one thing, and but one, may hope to achieve it before life is done but he who seeks all things wherever he goes must reap around him in whatever he sows,A harvest of barren regret."

P.S everyone should read John. C .Maxwell

my birthday

well i just had my birthday a few days ago and I had a blast I turned 18 and most south africans know what that means but for people in other countries it means i'm at an age when I can legal drink without an adult. I'm excited I finally feel like i'm growing up.

Reputation or Money

Today I was watching a show and it highlighted that topic what would you choose between reputation or money. For people who have worked hard for their reputation the would choose reputation but lets say you are facing financial difficulties would really your reputation something you have built from scratch affect what you need to keep that reputation so now the question is does money help you build your reputation or does your reputation help you get money.

Open your eyes they are great things around you!!!

Today I realised something so my mum just bought a new car it wasnt the car she had aimed for but she loves it to death. After she bought the car we started realising how it was a great car with great features but what we realised the most was how we ignored it it because it was after she had bought it that we saw that a lot of people had it. This shows us how life works because we spend so much time trying to associate ourself with people of different leagues that we forget the person who is below what we are aiming for that causes us not to even try to talk to them. So what I learned today is that open your eyes there are great things around you.

DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT

Today I just heard the most funny but true motto its “DRIVE IT LIKE YOU STOLE IT”. It’s not a negative motto I find it very encouraging because if you look at someone who stole a car they want to go as far as possible from the place they stole that car so that is how we should think get as far as possible from where you started because you don’t want to go further than the next thing you know you are going back. I personally know about this because about 2 months ago I started this weight loss programme and I have only lost 4kg and last week I found out that I gained a kilo it takes you back like if look at the weight you started on and the weight you still are its sad. So every time you start something or think of doing something “Drive it like you stole it”.

So I haven’t told you about my varsity plans they are a bit big but I’m ambitious. I have been planning on joining my varsity SRC (Student Representative Council) it will be hard because I will have to get myself out there but that’s not what I will be talking about I started reading these leadership books my dad has the first one is DEVELOPING THE LEADER WITHIN YOU it‘s by John C. Maxwell  it talks about what people has misinterpreted as leadership this is something he wrote

“A real leader is more than having authority; it is more than having the technical training and following the proper procedures. Real leadership  is being the person others will gladly and confidently follow. A real leader knows the difference between being the boss and being a leader, as illustrated in the following:

·         The boss drives his workers; the leader coaches them.

·         The boss depends on authority; the leader on goodwill.

·         The boss inspires fear; the leader inspires enthusiasm.

·         The boss says ‘I’; the leader says ‘we’.

·         The boss knows how its done; the leader shows how

·         The boss says ‘go’; the leader says ‘lets go’                        

 

I hope that three books down I will know how to tackle leadership but if I was a true leader a whole lot of you who are reading would have subscribed LOL I hope playing the insecure card will help me.

P.S  you guys are about to watch me grow.
