You cannot chase two rabbits at the same time

Chasing two rabbits at the same time will not work out at all. Rabbits might change directions. The other one might take South Side and the other one North side. You will end up not knowing which direction to take. You will end up being tired like a dog.
The hunter, who chases two rabbits, catches neither one. To excel one has to focus all energy on the task at hand. Focus all of your faith and effort into one philosophy. The man, who serves two masters, serves none."
In the 21st century most of women are chasing more than two rabbits. Like me, I am a single parent, I work full time and I am studying part time. Sometimes it is a big challenge for me but I know I will catch my rabbits. As long I am chasing good rabbits.    I always make sure these rabbits that I am chasing, they don’t lose direction. I know when they change directions; I would be tired and end up catching no one.
I am using all the skills I have to catch these rabbits. I will use all the tricks just to catch these rabbits. Life is too short, I can’t chase one rabbit.

ungrateful

Ungrateful

There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend. He was always there for her.
She told her boyfriend, 'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her,’ Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?'
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him. Her boyfriend left her in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear; for before they were yours, they were mine.'
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

People can take you for a fool sometimes

When you are quiet people like to think you are a fool. They always say whatever they want to say, and they expect you to say nothing. Just because you are quiet and you look like a fool to them.
There was a lady working at Telkom. She was the most seldom person I ever seen. Most people were saying whatever they wanted to say to her. And she would say nothing. They used to call her igusha (Sheep). Sheep is quiet and it is not dangerous. It harms no one. You can do whatever to it but it would be silent.
She did not like the way, people treated her. One day she was fed up and she couldn’t take it anymore. There was a staff party but it was a private function. She was there. Her colleagues were treating her bad and calling her names. She switched off music and took the micro phone.  And she told them where to get off. And she said the party is over and it is her time to take over. And every one was shocked by her action. She was very angry and she gun pointed them. They were so terrified. They were apologizing to her but she was not listening to them at all.
The party was over. Everyone went home terrified and sad. She felt good. On Monday everyone couldn’t look at her because they were scared of her. She sent them e-mails and told them” I can be also silly if you forcing me to be”. And they all responded apologizing. She told them “I may be quiet but I am not your foo

What is the colour of love?

Some people say the colour of love is the same as “the colour of the wind”. Some says it is black, red, white or pink. Whereas the other lady says “i guess depends on the heat of that moment, when all is well, then love has all the bright colours you can think of. Some says it can be anything you believe it to be. The other gentle man says “it manifest itself in various forms.

To me, red is the colour of love. It catches my eye. It’s romantic, and can get definitely set the mood. Red is also very sexy. It happens to be my favourite colour.

If had to paint a pictures to show the world true love can really be, I would use red colour, to create a vision of harmony.
The colour of love is warm and tender caring.

What motivates me?

Besides money and everything I just like the challenge of trying something new. I am a very motivated person who would do everything possible to become successful. I think everyone needs serious motivation to become a successful PR officer. It takes some a good time and effort but the end result is well worth it.
I like assisting people and that motivates me to keep on doing the good work. Seeing smile on people faces that’s make me feel good.

Nothing is more dangerous than an idea, when you only have one idea (Alian)

It is not wise having one idea. You should be creative. If the one idea you have doesn’t work out, what are you going to do. That’s why we have lots of failures.

You must have wide range of ideas and backups.  An idea it’s a good thing. That means you are coming up with a new product or service or whatever it is.

New idea needs to be on test. If the idea is working that means it’s a good Idea.

You can steal a good idea. But you must have a second one. A man with ideas has two or three followers. You cannot live without ideas. There must be some few ideas.

It is dangerous to have only one idea. That means you not wise. Steal good ideas.


Have you figured out the second head fake?

You get people to help you by telling the truth; by being earnest. I'll take an earnest person over a hip person every day, because hip is short-term, earnest is long term. You can't get there alone and I believe in karma.
Tell the truth. Be earnest. Apologize when you screw up.
Focus on other people, not on yourself. Remember brick walls let us show our dedication. They are there to separate us from the people who don't really want to achieve their childhood dreams.
Get a feedback loop and listen to it. ... When people give you feedback, cherish it and use it. Show gratitude. Don't complain; just work harder. Be good at something. It makes you valuable.
Junior faculty members used to come up to me and say. "Wow, you got tenure early; what's your secret?" I said, "It's pretty simple, call me any Friday night in my office at 10 o'clock and I'll tell you.
Find the best in everybody. Luck is truly where preparation meets opportunity.

Did you figure out the head fake? It's not about how to achieve your dreams. It's about how to lead your life. If you lead your life the right way, the karma will take care of itself. The dreams will come to you.

How hard is it to follow instructions?

Why do people find it so difficult to follow directions?


Seriously it seems like it is the hardest thing in the world. You put up signs or have some rules and people just do what they want with no regard for anything. Oh a school zone 20mph...let me go 45 because I can and who cares I am so cool I don't have to do what anyone tells me...does this bother anyone else or just me?

It's sort of like following a recipe for a cake.
The recipe calls for 2 tbs of butter - you lend the recipe to a friend. They make the cake but it does not come out very well and they wonder why! Upon questioning I discovered the friend had used margarine instead of butter. But life's like that! Some people just never learn.

A skill set called leadership

Definition and Explanation of the Example Leadership Skills List
Integrity
How deep are your convictions on the things you believe in? What do you believe in SO MUCH about your work that you will stand up to anyone about it? How much are you willing to compromise your important beliefs? To what extent do your behaviour and the choices you make align with your guiding values and principles?
Integrity means honesty and more. It refers to having strong internal guiding principles that one does not compromise. It means treating others as you would wish to be treated.
Many experts believe that a solid sense of right and wrong and strong guiding principles is the most essential and basic of all leadership skills or characteristics. Integrity promotes trust, and not much is accomplished without trust.
Integrity is a skill to the extent that we see it in action. But it goes much deeper than surface actions. It is based on one’s guiding beliefs and values, and is an important example of an essential leadership quality.
Integrity (or lack thereof) is reflected in thinking, attitudes, and actions. People can’t directly see your level of integrity, but they judge it pretty accurately on a gut level based on your actions and your words.

rock journalism is people who cant't write interviewing people who cant talk for people cant read (frank Zappa)

Rock journalism is people who can’t write interviewing people who can’t talk for people who can’t read (Frank Zappa)


Frank Zappa was the father of invention, the most caustic iconoclast of the rock-and-roll era. ''My job,'' he once said, ''is extrapolating everything to its most absurd extreme.'' And Zappa, who died of prostate cancer Saturday on December 4, 1993 at age 52, clearly loved his job.

Zappa always said his life, and musical tastes, changed in 1954, when he read a Look magazine story on the Sam Goody record chain, which cited its ability to sell such ''weird'' music as ''The Complete Works of Edgar Varese, Vol. One.'' When Zappa finally found a copy, he embraced its avant-garde dissonance, though his parents would let him play it only in his room. It was there, then, that the musical mix began, for Zappa was just as deeply into Howlin’ Wolf and the Orioles


Zappa did not care at all about journalists. He would say whatever comes first from his mind. He did not care about education at all. He loved his music and he was dedicated.
