Nose - Word To The Wise

 
Word to the youth to participate in business
Let me start by quoting former United Nations secretary general Kofi Annan; he said “Young people should be at the forefront of global change and innovation. Empowered, they can be key agents for development and peace. If, however, they are left on society's margins, all of us will be impoverished. Let us ensure that all young people have every opportunity to participate fully in the lives of their societies.”
 
Now here are some million dollar questions! Is our youth motivated enough to carry this responsibility? Is our government doing enough to develop and empower the youth? Do parents do enough to motivate their children? I asked myself all these questions but the answer that kept popping into my mind was; there can never be enough. Yes it is only in the hands of the youth to turn not enough into enough. Yes it is possible. Many successful business people started from the little (not enough) into plenty. Many did not have some of the privileges/opportunities our government has created for the now youth. Dear youth if you waiting for the government to do enough, then you in for disappointment because enough will not happen.
 
Take little opportunities that are available and take your capabilities to the world. It all start with you creating opportunities where you are, if you cannot motivate yourself enough to create opportunities where you are, it will still be useless to go to big cities or countries that are advanced in development.
Be creative enough than seeking to be somebody or come up with something that is already in the globe disposal. Do not doubt your ideas even if no one believes in them, do your research and interact with other entrepreneurs. Spend more time meditating on your goals and action plan.
 
Use internet to work for you. Start visiting relevant business sites than downloading music all the time. Rather than chatting on topics that are not beneficial start engaging on business groups. Stop surfing porn, googling lyrics and celebrity picture or going every picture on your friends list.
Here are relevant sites you can visit if need funding.

3 www.samaf.org.za
4 www.nefcorp.co.za
5 www.nyda.gov.za

Use these institutions to your advantage and remember their turn down don’t mean the end. Dream on dear youth, the future is in your hands. God bless.

  Don’t fail to try in life (word to winners)     Life is a great journey; it has its ups and downs, great moments and bad moments. Every human being in this life has one vision (goal), and that is winning, no man is designed to dream failure. However every now and then people take wrong approach and make bad decisions and crucify they selves after. Making a bad decision is not necessarily the end as there is a saying that says “it’s not how you start but how you finish”. Life doesn’t start or end with a mistake. Failure comes when fear rises above confidence, when people start caring about who is watching and forsake their ability to try in the name of “what if I fail”?   What if I fail will always devour your ability to try tomorrow. There is a biblical quote that says “weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning”. Do not give up your tomorrow. I have compiled a five well-known people who have gone through rough patches...

How to be a great leader

Being a leader comes with responsibilities; many fail and leave bitterness in people’s lips. These are the kind of leaders that are bossy, greedy, hate opposition, and selfish etc….. Now a great leader is he who is selfless and put others first and the million dollar question is HOW TO BECOME A GREAT LEADER. Here are some tips I compiled . 1 Strive to serve Life is not about being served but serving; lot of people forget the art of serving the moment they enter the space of authority. They take the whole world as their own and seek to dominate people. Remember people cannot be dominated; all things in the world can be dominated but people. So focus on serving people not dominating them. 2 Be a role model Always lead by example, know the happenings on the ground level and deal with them before they elevate and be considered a problem. Share your skills of handling issues with your people on the ground. 3 Open a room for input Being in authority don’t mean you know all t...

Keep The World Clean

I am not a health or environmental; expect but one thing I know is that environmental care is a social responsibility for any human being who functions within the wisdom and knowledge.     Cleanliness in a society means good health for both humans and animals. It is a shame to witness people destroying their own space and coming to terms with fact that they live in untidy areas that they destroyed with their ignorance. People choose to ignore a simple sign of NO DUMPING! The big issues are if it doesn’t start with me and you; it will never will. Let us run or be involved in community campaigns to keep the environment clean, start by keeping that banana skin, take away box, soft drink can, liquor bottle etc. with you till you reach a trash can. Be self-controlled and keep the world clean. Teach children in your household not to throw those snacks packages on the street but bring them to the house trash can. If we do not train ourselves in taking care of...
