African Child, DON’T GIVE UP...


I was driving to a town far far away today, I was exhausted, the Free State sun was not doing me any justice. That was until I saw the above board. Then it made me think of YOU…

Are you still chasing that dream?? Still hustling?? Feel like giving up?? Why give up after all that sweat and effort…

Oh jah, it’s tough, life keeps kicking you in the teeth, you have fell and picked yourself up so much that you have lost all reasons to go on…

Your friends and family are no help in the process, they are actually assisting gravity bring you down.

Sometimes you find yourself singing with Black Eyed Peas “Where is the love”…

All those:
“Don’t do it, it’s too risky”,
“You will never succeed”,
“You are wasting your time”
“You won’t make it”

are starting to echo in your head. You are actually starting to believe them yourself.

That energy and Vooom you had at the beginning has said it’s good byes…

No no no, do not interpret it like that, it’s not “good bye”, it is “see you later”, it is testing you for the last time on how much you really want what you’re chasing, if you prove yourself this time, it’s all yours.

The key words are FAITH, PERSISTENCE and PATIENCE…

African Child,
       DON’T GIVE UP…

Laying on my back on the soft block paving of the Apartment Building, Looking at the young evening sky with dawn throwing its last kicks... A gas Lighter in one hand and a cigarette in the other. Destruction and Potential, Only kept apart by my fat arms and hairy chest. A lady walks by, Doesn't finish walking by. Stops, And comments how cute it is that i am studying the night skies, " Stars are full of wonder, they are Angels watching us " She said. " Yeah, they are " I replied. Then the lady finished walking by. Laying there, Laying on my back on the soft block paving of the Apartment Building, Looking at the young evening sky with dawn throwing its last kicks and showing signs of giving up and accepting its fate, it's over... Laying there, Looking at the top floor of our five storey building, I was wondering whether a jump would kill or cripple me. The distance didn't seem long enough, So i put all my chips on "cripple" and postpone

Dear Youth ... During my high school years, in my physical sciences class, I learn about " Fiber Optics ", oh what a beautiful thing they are. Below is the technical definition of this type of technology: " A  fiber optic  cable consists of a bundle of glass threads, each of which is capable of transmitting messages modulated onto light waves.  Fiber optics  has several advantages over traditional metal communications lines:  Fiber optic  cables have a much greater bandwidth than metal cables."  [ www.webopedia.com/TERM/F/ fiber _ optics .html] Key Notes: 1. " transmitting messages " This is the aim of this Blog, to transmit messages, to transfer knowledge back and forth, and to support one another. There will be a variety of topics, Academics, R eligion, Politics, Philosophies, Relati onship problems, Family Problems (Not personal, but how to deal with general family problems), sport, you name it, if you can think of it, it will be here. 2

You're a Magician

The Magic is in your Heart,  You choose how you want it to manifest in your Life. In despair and fear, Some of us let it die and rot inside, then we start hating existence itself. Dearing the Devil to try his best. Fuck, i don't know how to write this, too many thoughts in my head. Let me take a swing, if i miss, i miss... A long time ago,  i read a theory somewhere that states: When the Bible says: Gen: 2:7 "...And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being..." What happened on that day, is that God shared some of his 'powers with us'. At the time i never paid much attention to it. Laughed it off. Until recently when i read 'The Lost Symbol' by Mr Dan Brown. In the book biblical scriptures were quoted: Psalms 82:6 "...I said, You are gods..." John 10:34 "...Jesus answered them, “Is it not written in your law, ‘I said, “You are gods”...&qu
