Respect yourself

"respect is key to success"

When you doubt yourself, others will doubt you. When you believe in yourself in time with others will believe in you. This means setting up boundaries where others need to respect your choices and step back. Know your value so that people can respect your worth.

Respect is honoring the worth or dignity in a person or process when we respect others., we take their preferences and ideas seriously. Respect is a virtue of the noble, great people climbed the ladder of success when they shared their ego and embrace humility. This always reminds me of my father's last words before leaving this earth. He called us and said " My children, My time with you is over but I am leaving you with respect, it a key that will open doors to success." On the other hand only respect those who show you respect. Don't take nonsense from anyone. Never give pearls to pigs cause they will only step on them. People have a tendency of taking for-granted those who show them respect. respecting yourself does not mean being a papet for everybody. Have limits. 

Remember each person sees the world only as they can see it. This doesn't mean they are right or better or smarter than you, they are just different, with their set of values, believes and life experiences. Respect this in return.Make it your ambition to lead a quite life, to mind your own business and to work with your hands so your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody.

Rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.

"being Fan boy"

 Rock journalism is criticism and reportage about rock music. In the real of rock music critics have not always been respected by their subjects, such that it was declared that rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read.

This signify that rock journalism is suitable for all human species. With the availability of social network sites everybody has become a journalist. Journalist have the task of gaining people's attention around relevant information and finding meaning amidst the information jungle. Thus rock journalist inform all sorts of people and in their state of condition. However, rock journalist forget being fan boy, they forget to ask what people want to know, and talk about music as if its civil disobedience.

Once in a while every journalist need to get their heads out of the press release and actually go and watch a band play in a new venue and see something new. Furthermore, rock critics regard rock as normative, the standard state of popular music to which everything else is compared.

Waiting....

http://ayak-turkishdelight.blogspot.com/2012/03/waiting.html

I know waiting isn’t easy. We’re taught to expect instant gratification. We’re told we shouldn’t have to wait for anything. Too often we act on feelings or impulses, sacrificing the future by buying into the lie that sex equals love, leaving little room for commitment or marriage. But that’s not love and that’s not  reason for waiting.

I need you to know that what matters is not where you’ve been or what you’ve done, but where you’re going. More often we meet new people everyday and believe that we’d found each other, only to realize later that what you discovered wasn’t true love. Real love is so different from infatuation or simple pleasure. It isn’t abusive or selfish or purely physical. Real love involves mutual respect, affection, trust, equality, and a shared spirituality. Real love doesn’t revolve around sex! Real love grows into a relationship where sexual intimacy will only serve to express that love. 

Furthermore, sex before marriage brings many fears – pregnancy, STDs, the emotional scars associated with broken relationships. So, in the search for perfect love, it only makes sense to practice chastity and wait until you’re married to give yourself to the person you love.

Thinking about you

Madly in love

More and more I found my self thinking about you. Wondering where you are, what you are thinking and doing. Indeed it hurts a little not to be with you, but I can live with that for now, knowing that we'll spend the rest of our lives together.

I am writing this article because I think about you daily, you have become my addiction, my world, my life, my friend, just the lady I want. Every time I hear that one song, you on my mind from start to finish. You are heavenly sent. A gift from God and our future together will be filled with happiness and laughter which we truly deserve. However, thinking about you might make me jealous and insecure sometimes but that risk is worth to take.  You are like a sailing ship that brings food across the sea.

I probably don't know all the right things to say, but my feelings and words are from the heart. In the midst of it all, the thought of you calms and refreshes me - makes me smile in spite of my situation.

if not now then when?

"the wold's greatest politicians"

If not now then when? was a question asked by my childish mind according to the elders, when I express my passion for politics at a tender age immediately after completing high school.

Since I completed high school I struggled with securing a career in politics. I worked hard but some people were there to suppress my efforts. Anyways that's the game of politics, survival of the fittest, and ambush in the night. Instead of appreciating wisdom some people are there to destroy it. They always told me am still immature, my time will come. If not now, then when? I argued. "The future is not on our hands, it is unpredictable. we may think we know how things will go, but things rarely turn out exactly as we predict (often not even close)." However, that made me even more wise and know that there will never be the right time in this universe except now. If you wait for the right time its like waiting for Jesus, that time will never appear. Generations and generations will pass while still waiting for the right time.

Its now or never. The history of greatest politicians and leaders proves that the world's greatest leaders like Winston Churchill were trained from childhood. The everyday risks they encounter made them strong continuously. Every big thing was once a small thing. The question if not now then when? was indeed by breaking through into politics at a tender age.

Watch this space

"will own this baby soon"

"they say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself"~ Andy Warhol

Without doubt, I am going to look back at 07 July 2007, where I was involved in a car accident that brought lots of changes in my life. I was left with permanent injuries that left me in support of a walking stick for as long as I live. However, today Am climbing higher one step at a time, watch this space.

This day destroyed many of my future plans including that of my career as a private pilot. On August 2007, I was due to begin my Private Pilot License (PPL) in Port Alfred after passing medical test in Pretoria, and proving  capabilities of flying an airplane. All this efforts went down the drain. However, one of my friends told me "there is always a positive angle to look at things". Indeed his words were eye opening. Today, I look at life in a different perspective. Besides all the injuries I sustained during the car accident, I am still moving forward. I have changed my career path and looking forward at the crystal ball."I am never standing still, and that makes my life pretty exiting.

So needless to say that year 2007 was a sad and eye opening year, thus changes had to be made and with immediate effect. Indeed I began my life career from scratch and I am looking forward to ownership of greater things. Watch my space, I won't retreat without a fight. Soon I will look back at the past and smile "wow this is me".
