What is really our role in this World?
Do we sit down and wait? Do we go out there and make a difference; do we sit in streets of Jozi and ask working class for 5cents, what is really our role?
My understanding is that, the role of youth is of most importance in today’s time. It has underplayed itself in field of politics. It should become aspiring entrepreneur rather than mere workers. It can play a vital role in poverty alleviation and decrease of crime. Young participation is important because youth are the country’s power.
Youth recognize problems and can solve them. Youth are strong forces in social movements. They educate children about their rights. They help other young people attain a higher level of Intellectual ability and to become qualified adults.
Its time the youth, the students have to realize their power, their role, their duties and their responsibility and stand up for their rights. Now its time that instead of brain drain we should act like magnets and attract the world.
“Youth is the joy, the little bird that has broken out of the eggs and is eagerly waiting to spread out its wings in the open sky of freedom and hope.” James. Let’s be that little bird and fly up. This world has got so much to offer, why not take that as an advantage and utilise the resources that you are provided with.
Stand..Stand..Standup..Dont waste time, the world is depending on us.
We are the Power of this Nation...Power is in us, the Youth...

I miss hearing you come in at night
It hurts more than you know.words are so had to describe my feelings at this moment, i have always been better with images, yet writting down how much i miss you, seems to give me more tranquility, writting to let go, to give this all a place. it will never heal, it will never go away, but just learning to give it time and space.
I can tell you how much i care, how much i'd give to have you back in my life, but you know all this and it won't change anything , that's what im learning within time.
writting to tell you how much i have learnt to show you that through fragility i become a stronger person, more able to understand, more able to listen and care, hurt through loss, i've become yet a wiser person. i miss the wormth of knowing you're just a phone call away, miss being kicked out of your room, i miss having to place your food into a microwave incase you come back hungry.i miss hearing you come in at night.i miss how you used to strangle my tummy when i told secrets to mom.
I miss you buti wam and u'll always be my brother and i love you

Don’t you get cold?
I’ve been thinking about this chick I saw on Tuesday night In Longstreet.
How come, girls who are teenagers have the pluck to wear skimpy and short mini skirts?
It’s winter in Cape Town for God's sake, wear some pants on. Girls still have the guts to sport minis and short shorts. It's a nice glimpse, but come on. I have always thought of how they are able to show so much and hide so little, without being conscious.
I would always ask my sisters and brothers, ("How can girls wear clothes like that?")
I'm not really old-fashioned but hey, wearing short shorts, or mini skirts is something else. Just a little more and you'd see everything. I know girls want to be fashionable and stylish, and sexy. I just don't understand how they can muster up the courage to sport something that perverts would tear out in a blink of an eye.
I don’t have a problem with girls wearing minis but that chick really got to me, it was cold and windy, I think it was 45-60km per hour. She was drunk, too drunk, she was freezing, and could barely walk. She was clearly asking for harassment "Come! Take me to your place!" that’s sooo low sister!. What happened to self-respect and dignity? Guess it got lost on that tequila..hmmm!

Gossip can be quite helpful and instructive sometimes!!
There are actually hundreds of thousands of people employed around the world to gather gossip for magazines and newspapers. There is a whole market out there that is willing to pay a fair price for good gossip or rumour. What if gossiping was totally eliminated? Imagine how many people would lose their jobs?!
People who are good at gossiping are often very creative people. They do not just talk about other people, they actually turn their gossip into a very entertaining story. For such people, gossiping is the only place where they actually are able to employ their creative selves
You can tell a lot about a person by listening to him/her for a short while. If the person talks about someone else, you can be pretty sure he/she will talk about you as soon as you turn around. At least this is one good way to keep track of what to say and to whom
This is the only thing that is universal across all cultures. You can go anywhere and as long as you can gossip effectively and carefully, you will find friends
Well, there you have it. It just makes me want to gossip now!

Does gender have any difference when it comes to employment?
Yes, it does.
Gender has many dimensions that impacts on employment, specifically when it comes to females. This justify differential treatment of males and females in the workplace where indicated.
Then again women have reproductive roles that requires a degree of sensitivity in the employment relationship whereas males are sometimes in the same boat. So, it depends on the circumstances of the specific employee to determine the specific gender implications for the workplace.
My outlook is that males should get up, most women are multi skilled as a result of their reproductive role that requires them to multi task and as such the worth of the female employee will soon be rated much higher than that of males.

We are afraid of the wrong things
We grow through being wrong, we stand still through always being right. If you want to be right all the time, go live underground… it’s not gonna be possible even there. You will find however that no one is there to see you become “humiliated.” The next time it comes to your attention that you have been wrong, don’t hide from it. Look them squarely in the face and say: “Thank you, I want to know when I am wrong so I can be better.”
Being wrong is not the worst thing in the world, being afraid of it might be. Think about what you lose when you are wrong. Is it so valuable that you would give up your sense of peace and well-being over it?Come on, were human beings. Everyone makes mistakes and we learn from them.We are bound to go through these wrong doing, its natural and therefore holding yourself back wont help,We are all not innocent.

I'ts all about respect "mchana"
Having respect for others is difficult if you have no respect for yourself. you earn respect if you respect yourself and the ones around you .
One needs to pay attention when people disrespect you, and act on it. A person with self respect doesn't tolerate others to treat them badly, and would rather not associate with someone who is disrespectful. “that’s me” I cant tolerate such behaviours’, people who think that your life revolves around them.
This might seem obvious, but there are many times when we accept being treated badly (in both big and small ways) because we believe the person doesn't know any better, or because we're not prepared to let that person go, or because we're too down on ourselves to believe we deserve better. When someone doesn't give you basic respect, you need to be able to say, in one way or another, "You just disrespected me and that's not acceptable to me. If you don't respect me, I won't spend time with you anymore." Can you say that, and mean it? Can you turn your back on someone who's clearly shown that they don't respect you? Once you do, you'll feel your sense of self-respect and you level of confidence would accelerate, trust me.
