Nothing done or no one is there!

In life is good and very important to have a vision and plan and organize everything in order. It depends how long you take on the planning and organizing. Because in 20 minutes given in our lives, we use 18 minutes talking around the meeting table and 2 minutes on actions hence less work or no work done. And the danger is that most of us who we spend hours and hours planning a meeting by the time we go to the meeting there is no one. Some of us are useless when our mouths are closed because we… Continue

DIRECTION

Driving throught the beautiful landscapes of the Eastern Cape, enroute to the Free State. One thing is going through my mind, I can't help but feel in limbo, I'm neither here nor there. I ask myself how many people are in limbo, in all the places I've been to in last 3months, I've met people who are 'nor here nor there'. There is one thing though that is certain is I'm heading to the Free State, when I'll get there (only the GPS know) all I know is I will get there, come rain, snow,storm etc I… Continue

Enthusiasm leads to achievement

The great accomplishments of man have resulted from the transmission of ideas and enthusiasm. Knowledge is power and enthusiasm is the switch. There are three types of people in this world: those who make things happen, those who watch things happen and those who wonder what happened.

We all have a choice.

You decide what type of person you want to be.

I have always chosen to be in the first group in order to achieve in live. Big up

Evaton North Sports Tournament

We always say the real heroes are not easily seen because they are busy doing something good and are continuing doing good out there. Not sitting around talking and polliticising everything coming across their nostrils or spending millions of hours on meetings.The Qedelizwe H. School tournament went well and big ups to heroes and heroins like Papa, Lucky, Simon, Mahlatsi, Clara, Juliet and the school at large. Above all big thank you to Youthzone team (Masi, Doc, Schalk and Emien) and ABI for… Continue

An ode to all the bloggers

Everyody has pro's and con's about them, most try to heighten their pro's and work on their con's transforming them to pro's. Along the way we might struggle with our con's...a lesson never learnt is the same mistake made in the future. Learning takes patience and is your choice to make whereby the only person risking a loss (of information) is you. I love the fact that everytime I login to youthzones I find life lessons, and I'm motivated to better myself in all regards.

Thank you

I ....... dont want to wait again.....!

At school, I always go to class and learn a lesson and from there I go for the test or exam. So is lesson first and test after. But with life is vice versa. Test first and lesson after. I have being hoping, waiting and working hard and hoping that things one day will turn good in different situations in my life. But actually since I was born I have been trying to catch a fish by preparing fishing rod, baits, lines .... in dry land, practising how to throw the line, how to look the baits while… Continue

IT'S ABOUT PERSEVERANCE.

Perseverance springs from determination and discipline,often people have failed because they did not realise how close they were to success when they gave up,it's often the beginning or the end that are the most difficult times,but we have to stay on course,patience and perseverance have a magical effect,difficulties disappear and obstacles vanish,a pledge not to quit you've reached a goal can be crazy in the practical sense,but so are the most worthwhile dreams,always remember that the beauty… Continue

Let us not abuse .....?

Everyday I get deeply hurt when I see us individuals living abusive life. We can be abusing alcohol, freedom, money, good people and list goes on and on. But to be more specific, my attention real get caught by abuse of alcohol and freedom in all the areas of my work or I can say where I spend much of time. It even starts in my own family. Where I see my own biological mother who is into alcohol big time and really abusing it causing a lot of costly damages around the family. Where it…

Matric Outreach!!! (by Luvuyo Lonwabo Precious Bayeni)

 

The time has come for the Grade 12 to make their mark. The year 2010 was clouded by

happy and sad memories. We saw the World Cup lift up peaople's spirit and unity

within the country, and continent as a whole. That experience was short-lived though

with the Public service strike that dragged forever, needless to say its

consequences still haunt us even today.

 

Despite all this it was then necesseccary…

Honesty

There is one thing I cant run away from. That is MYSELF. I am an individual who is very weak when it comes to confrontations ( I am getting better) simply because I feel/think for others how will they be after I said or done what I needed to do after confrontation. Even saying NO is still a struggle for me. It is not good for me. I guess that 's one reason which made me not to continue playing soccer in elite level or any world where it involves anti-personal/emotional characters. There, is not… Continue

........... pointed a gun at me, Real SA

Since I was born I never saw a hole of the gun pointing at me until 09/Jan/2011, 12h56 when a middle aged white chap pointed a gun at us outside on the street in Honey Dew, Johannesburg. I hear people complaining or being victims of hijacks, theft etc by black people, but today it was vice versa. I ( and my new colleague Masi) were invited to a celebration party of black child who got six distinctions from public school after a lengthy strike in 2010. As we went out after the amazing… Continue
