For the love of money is the root of sin (Timothy 6:10) bible

Love of money is a critical factor in determining if money is used for good or evil. Money is a tool of exchange, which can't exist unless there are goods produced and men are able to produce them. Wealth is the product of man's capacity to think as result, a payment of his thinking capabilities. 

According to Christian's unproven philosophy, money causes greed and it can give people power so the more money a person has the more power he holds thus the more crime he commits. Therefore, some believe that the phase indicates that all evil lies in the use of money. However, logically if the love of money is the root of evil, then it stands to make sense that the hatred of money is the root of all good.

 In reality money is the answer to many of our problems and it makes us Independent (free). Thus if you have the ability and opportunity to be made free, you should. For example when you are free from the bondage of corporate employment, you are then able to live life without limits, building lasting relationships and memories you will never forget.

The bottom line is that money, like technology, is spiritually neutral. It can be used for good or evil. God always deals with the heart and the motives of the use of money. If the motives are pure then the fruit can be very very good. Let's stop loving things and start loving people. That is the measure of true wealth! The truth is that money in itself isn’t evil.

Two wrongs never make one right.

Two wrongs never make one right is an English saying meaning an evil act cannot be corrected with more evil. If as human species can abide on the biblical saying (Golden Rule) "do unto others as you would have them do unto you." I believe we wouldn't be murdering each other in the name of justice or abortion as I believe none want to be murdered.

In the realm of mathematics two negatives when added together become a greater negative. A positive when added to a negative serves to overcome the negative. if the positive is greater then the results will always be positive. The realm of morality and ethics have an addictive property similar to mathematics. Jorge Orwell once wrote "it was curious; but till that moment I had never realised what it means to destroy a healthy, conscious man. When I saw the prisoner step aside to avoid the puddle, I saw the mystery, the unspeakable wrongness, of cutting a life short when it is in full tide. This man was not dying, he was alive just as we are alive."

In this quote Orwell brings out the emotion of knowing that what is being executed may seem a monster, but the fact remains the prisoner is still a human being. Simultaneously, if we let people who have done serious crime walk free they will be encouraged to do it again. However man to man is unjust, also capitalising on someones wrong doings doesn't justify murder. We all not saints, we make mistakes everyday simultaneously we expect other to forgive us. With this am not perpetuating crime but look at things on both sides of the coin. What if a person is wrongly accused? and result executed. How can we justify that? Can we bring back the lost soul?

If I were a boss



"I am what I am because of who we all are"

If I were a boss I would mingle with my employees under the concept of 'Ubuntu'. Ubuntu is a classical African word meaning humanity to others. This concept is perhaps inspirational. Ubuntu is respect, helpfulness, sharing, caring, Trust and unselfishness. This concept would express me as a leader who has compassion, reciprocity, dignity, humanity, and mutuality in the interest of building and maintaining a company and caring.

It is true that every decision I take may affect employees, and should take those consequences into account when making decisions. However, I may not always agree, but disagreement is no excuse for poor behaviour and poor manners. I might experience some frustration now and then, but I cannot let frustrations turn into battles. It is also important that as a boss, I know that a company where people feel uncomfortable or threatened is not a productive one.

However, of course, not all people share this moral outlook, nor believe that ethics require such supererogatory acts. There is also a believe that ubuntu suffers from illusion of animism. Ubuntu does not mean that people should not address themselves. It is also true that the more you practise ubuntu with our African people the more they take you for granted.

Moreover, if I were a boss I would be available to my employees, affirming them, also not felling threatened that others are able and good. Indeed I am what I am because of who we all are.

Right or Wrong

"Human nature itself is evermore an adventure for liberty. If people are capable of understanding, seeing, and feeling the difference between right or wrong, true or false, to what better principle can friends of mankind apply them to the sense of this difference."said John Adams 

 Right or wrong is a very essential aspect of life. It may be knowing right people, things, places and dressing well. It encompasses a lot in a human daily activities. It is also true that in this modern world plenty people cannot differentiate the two. I personally believe that knowing the right people will always help you getting ahead in school or in life.

Today so many women walk around half naked and they believe it is right, it has become a way of living.  Others abort babies every minute. For Example, South African statistics state that half of SA pregnancies end in abortion. Many women go for abortion because they got pregnant accidentally. they realise a baby is going to deprive them from living their lives, as they would like to live it. Then do you think this is the good reason for which an innocent soul can die? 

We think that it is wrong to kill people in Libya for oil. Then why do we think there is nothing wrong in using killing as a form of birth control? Also rapes are increasing every minute but simultaneously we still promote young children to dress provocative clothes.Yes; people have rights to wear what they want, whenever they want too but a person who knows right or wrong knows how to dress in a more respective manner. Simultaneously if you know you have rights you must also know that all rights come with responsibilities. Indeed parents who let girls dress in sexy outfits and wear make-up cant tell right from wrong. They are also the ones who promote pre-mature murder of young babies.

All human beings have the capacity to know right or wrong. Only if we can have time to apply ourselves, we definitely can find the right path.

Two people came out of a building and into a story

Once upon a time there were two brothers who grew up together, loved each other and most importantly lived under one roof. But life as it is, resulted in one brother becoming rich and the other amongst the poorest people on earth.

With this story I consider the building as a way two people are raised similar and their end results as the story. Considering the building,  if two people  are in the same  building, people look at the things they do inside the building. For example, when you go to the university people look at everything you do there and end of year they patiently wait to see the end results. In other words the way two people raised similar spend their living days in life will determine their story. If they both spend their time wisely, they can be rewarded greatly.

However, it is debatable by looking at the coin on both sides. Even if two people use the same door to come out of the building, the story will always be different. Sometimes even if they both work hard inside the building they cannot change the story if it is meant to be. Also note that the bigger the building the greater the story will become. For example, people from a township in Gugulethu can have a less story compared to those from sububs in Rondebosch. Most importantly the lessons they get inside the building will always glorify or humiliate them when they come out of the building. Moreover, even children from the same mother are never the same, they think differently and do things differently too. Futhermore, their final outcome will always be different.

The truth is whether we live racklesly or carefully we must always put forth that tomorrow we will be accountable for all we have done yesterday. When you plant always know one day you'll  rip the work of your hard work. Although sometimes a storm can destroy your hardwork but that doesn't  stop you from picking yourself up again, begining where you fell and working hard again to make your story a great ending.

#smed12.........Why women are self-centered?

Today woman are self-absorbed and have an undue fascination with oneself. Women think the world revolves around them. They believe are cleverer, more talented and more attractive than they  really are. They have trouble accepting criticism and extending empathy because they are so proud. A substantial fraction of women are out of touch with reality. Many who are simple plain or just ugly see themselves as awesome, fabulous individuals. I also believe most of them do not understand the word 'independent'  or it may be that feminism has ruin them, turned them into selfish bitches.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with having high expectations but being insane and having total unrealistic imaginations are an altogether different matter. Indeed some women are hot, beautiful and successful but that doesn't justify their actions. I say this because materially successful women tend to ignore uprising or down to earth men of their age. They rather stay single, abusing young lads than staying with a less paid or an unemployed husband. Women tend to forget that not the fastest runner always win the race but opportunity and time are the factor. Their hunger for money have made them loose respect.

However, some  women are scared of failure and  povety.  They think that being in a relationship with an unsuccessful guys will drag them down gradually. Yes; it is true that some men get attracted to materially successful women because they are looking for greener pastures (money), not because they love the women. In that way women also, have learnt to look after their investments with  hungry eyes. They have turned to prefer money over love, to them true love does not exist anymore.



HOW HARD IS IT TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS? #SMED12

Following instructions is probably the most fundamental skill an individual needs in everyday's activities. For example; if a student cannot follow a lecturer's instruction to do even the simplest task, not much is going to be done.

For me its actually not hard to follow instructions. Considering that I grew in a family that's embedded with African culture and traditions whereby you were given instructions on daily basis and expected to follow them without considering possible outcomes. It was all about following what the elders have commanded.

However, its always difficult to follow instructions if you didn't understand what is said, what is expected from you and sometimes what the end results should be. As human beings we  find it difficult to follow instructions because we tend not to effectively listen or read all written  instructions patiently and carefully. which is insane indeed.....Some instructions can be easy to follow but when you really have no idea or picture on that specific thing then you can never do the thing the right way.

Moreover, in nature, what is born of human flesh is bound to make mistakes which clearly state that no matter how much we follow instructions we are also bound to make mistakes. There is an English saying which says "even the genius never get things right the first time."
