Dear 16 Year Old

Image
Hi, you are probably at your prime now. Catching some feelings and starting to wonder how that guy or girl looks at you? Before you go crazy I would like you to know these 16 things:             1. Dream big. -           Do not limit what you can achieve based on your circumstances. Imagine the places you want to go to and the things you want to achieve. There is truly no limit.  The worst you can do is put yourself in a box. The mind is a powerful tool and it believes what you tell it.  Next time tell it about the company you will own one day. 2. Believe in yourself. -           Believe you will pass that Maths test that’s giving you nightmares. Whatever it is that you are faced with now, you shall overcome. The best trait one can learn in this life is how to be their very own motivator. Be your own supporter, be able to lean on your own but...

There is something the youth doest realize, it doesn't realize that everything in anything is equally important. lets take the a car as an example: which is the most important body part of a car??? Engine? steering wheel? gearbox (& gear lever)? wheels? Most people answered " engine " since it creates the motion, but where is that motion going if the car doesn't have it 4 four wheels??? even that engine that is soo trusted can not create that motion without fuel (petrol/diesel). Now how does this concept apply to us as the youth?? we are not cars or engines... The point is everything works together to achieve as certain goal. I might be 99% correct on this but I think everyone wants to be successful in life. Is it??? Good... continue reading, this is for you... if your want to be successful, you have to ensure that all aspects of your life work together in achieving this. Yes people do go to school and get good grades, brush their teeth everyday, wipe their b...

Black Tax

Image
I know them kids won’t get this but please don’t imaging a buff navy-black Nigerian dude walking with a bull dog and a baseball bat, knocking on your front door screaming “fool, where’s my money” when you hear that term. Let me help you there, I want you to go deep down in your heart… Don’t go too deep, I know down there is where them un-forgiveness skeletons stay… So come up a lil bit, jah right there… You see those people?? The ones you love… Your family and friends… Those are the people you should think about when you here the term “black tax”, I know it’s hard to believe it, but do, because it exists and it’s out there, what matters is how affected you are by it and your attitude towards it. Before I go on: I KNOW THIS TOPIC IS A SLIPPERY SLOPE AND A MATTER OF PERSONAL PREFERENCE BUT I’LL TAKE A SLAM AT IT ANYWAY!!! Let’s try and define this “black-Tax” There is an article I saw on the Mail and Guardian’s website, the man described black tax as being the meat o...

Matric Challenges…

Image
The other day I was thinking that if I knew in my Matric year what I know now, I would have ACED my matric, am talking flying colours. The simple lesson from such that is simple, “Time lost is never returned”. Once time has elapsed, there is a certain line that when you have crossed, there is no going back, unless you have the balls like a few South Africans that sit for matric at the age of 35, or even the current Matric 2015 results as an example, there was a lady aged at 66 years old and has just passed her matric, according to the South Africa Latest News website “she achieve 79% Mathematics and Science and an average of 69 in other subjects” [* link *] , now if you were to ask me, that’s serious balls, balls of steel, if a lot of people could have that courage and ambition, oh what a wonderful world this world be. Gogo was like: Anyway back to me, if I could rewind time, I would ACE my grade 12. How I wish I could transfer the wisdom I have now to the current a...
