If you always criticize yourself you are lowering your altitude. You need to be gentle on yourself and watch how you quickly overcome some obstacles. The opinion of yourself will always determine how high you fly in life.

When I collect my mind and visualize my goals the only thing I know is that no matter how long did it take but I have achieved my goals. I just knew that Failure is not an option. With the help of my lovely grandmother I am dedicating these words for you “Fear of the unknown is dangerous” I will look forward not back. I have reached my goals but they do not end hear.


Motivation is a quiet thing

Is it easy to find out what do you want in your life? If "yes" how can you find out? I thought it is easy in my opinion you need to do just a few things: Stop yelling and shouting and always jumping up and down showing people who you are. I am still of the opinion that at work places most managers used to be happy when they see their staff making up and down they think they are working. At the end of the day the business will sink down and be voted out of market.

This is caused by too much yelling and shouting and jumping up and down as if there is something going on while there is nothing. All this need some time to sit down quietly and think carefully and let the thought to sink down so that the difference could be clearly seen between good and bad strategy to produce good results at the end. Your desires and aspirations are the same. The only thing needed is to take some time to be quiet and watch how things will work out for you and become a lot clearer.


What Motivates Me?

Is to be involved in many projects that are bringing necessary skills and knowledge of what the real world entail for me, and to be able to explore my little knowledge on to them. I have been motivated and always had a desire to be well educated, since motivation is a quiet thing I decided to be quiet too until today. I want to be involved and be successful in my job, any kind of a professional job.
I have always wanted to be called as a graduate. By the time Naledi Pandor was a Minister of Education when she is speaking on SABC1 News I used to look at her and say inside me one day I will be like you.

So do you agree with me when I say motivation is a quiet thing? My ability to work hard under pressure and be able to meet deadlines also motivates me. Knowing that my priorities will be met soon is another thing that motivates me. I am highly inspired by people who are doing well in their jobs, some of them are in my surrounding. I am dedicating a round of applause well done colleagues. You are making me not to be in a hurry and also to know that fears are learned, I need to keep focused. 

Self Esteem is the Foundation

http://coachben66.wordpress.com

Self esteem is just like a house or a business, they both require a foundation. In order to build a house you require a solid foundation whereas business needs good capital to stand. Your goals require the same too. In my opinion the only way to lift your self esteem is to know your goals. Wishes and dreams are for everyone. Even the homeless people are dreaming having beautiful homes and houses until the sunset for them. It is not that human beings are imperfect by nature  it is just that there is nothing like perfect in this world of the opposites where everything is just unpredictable where there is always someone prettier or less attractive , or more intelligent or less so , or wealthier or poorer than the others.

 In most instances we used to relate this to the perfect female body.  In the past decades our mothers were not suffering with obesity but in the 17-21st Century there is a vast rate of women with big bodies. This is resulting in most women loosing self esteem, developing hatred towards themselves through comments made by people they trust most. You can change what you accept and make it as a compliment by doing so you will not lack solid foundation to build yourself esteem. The other thing on building self esteem is acceptance. You can go to counseling sessions but if you do not want to accept they will not work.
Before seeing social workers convince yourself that you will also add to what they will say by being a social worker of yourself.

The elephant in the room

http://rosswarner.com/elephant.html
The term used “The elephant in the room” reminds me when I was growing up such terms used to be used to scare children. A Xhosa name of elephant (Indlovu) used to draw an image of how huge is this animal and how ugly it is? Whatever a child will be crying for immediately will keep quiet. Those were the wise words used by the elders to discipline their children according to their different stages of growth.

There were various parables that were uniting and disciplining children in those days that were taken into consideration. I remember that when the village requires some information they used to travel long distances looking for an elder person who was there during such incident that requires information. In the conversation the elder will be using some parables such as “A river cannot flow down the forest without carrying down some trees” If those representatives did not understand the meaning they will need to go and look for translators.

The term the elephant in the room was one of those hidden meanings. Maybe it was a term used to call a certain person in disguise because of how big or strong s/he is. In most instances such names used to be given to teachers more-especially during the times of corporal punishment at schools. That was caused by the way teachers represents themselves to learners then they used to be given their suitable names. In most cases these parables will be very ironic therefore a person needs to work out what is the meaning.

An example, passengers in a taxi need to pay for their fares. The money is collected according to the sits of the taxi. You will find out there are people who pay and collect other pupils change. That happened to me on my way to Durbanville when my change did reach my hands then I said hey guys “You cannot eat your cake and still have it”. Everybody laughed then I got my change. All I am saying is there is always an irony in these terms.
