Swag VS Class

What do you prefer?

Most of you girls would choose a swag guy because it looks cute, and who can resist a cute guy with cute clothes?.. I would say I choose Class. Not that I don't like guys with swag, believe me I love it, but let me ask you that guy that has swag now will he be able to one day provide a future for a girl? Nope , i don;'t think so. Reason why is that if you look at their actions now it would be a true reflection on how their future will look like. Being cool gets you no where but being educated will get you very far in life.

I am sure their biggest dream is to meet Lil Wayne or some rapper they saw on television. They think they are cool ,but even their coolness gets to them as soon as they get to step into the real world out of school. then their challenges comes in. Guys with class are normally chilled guys, they know that they want in life and they work towards that and that is what I like about them. They know how to take responsibility and how to be a leader when needed.

Most cases girls whom used to be into swag guys normally take a class guy when their older, but back then they swear they would never date someone like that.. Ironic I know.

So guys those of you whom is so into swag. It's cool to be into it but just remember what you do today is a true reflection on how your future will look like.

Meeting Zulfah Otto-sallies

On the 30th of January 2013 I met this amazing writer, film maker, producer etc, Zulfah Otto-Sallies. She grew up in the Bo-Kaap. She is big on culture and traditions.

She came to our school (Swartberg Secondary School) and gaved us an motivational speech. This speech inspired me so much. As you know i love to write about the truth and daily things that happens in our community or in a person's life. The thing that inspired me the most was the fact that her books and movies that she makes is only about her culture and and where she grew up. Which for me is very touching because i asked her but why does she only write about her community and her answer was:  the people in the that lives in the Bo-Kaap now has new traditions and she wants to remind them about how good the old ones was.

Me with Zulfah Otto- Sallies on the 30th January 2013

If you go to the Bo-Kaap today everything has changed. The point I want to make here is that, the older you get the more things change and you just have to decide that if you want to be part of that change or if you want to stay the same person you are. Change is sometimes good, but sometimes it's not. What I think you must not change is your values that you have as a person. The values of a person can tell us many things about a person and whom they will become in the future.

People remember to stay the same person that you are and to always great the world with a smile, because you alone can make the world a better place for yourself!

Why do boys hit girls?

Now before I start I want to clear some things with you as the reader. I have my own opinion here on my blog if the boys or the girls feel offended I’m sorry I’m just saying what I think and how I feel about things, if you disagree I accept that but I would love to know why.

 One day one of my friends asked me why do boys hit girls? I didn’t have an answer to that. I went home laying on my bed thinking of reasons why boys would want to hit girls. I got a few, non of them was to me a real reason so I went to ask a boy and he told me the following:

 He told me that some girls like to overpower boys. They like to play bossy and then they  make them feel less powerful and in that way they lose their manhood. For me that was no real reason to hit a girl. Or let me just say there is no real reason in this world for a male to lift up his hands for a female. They are special and deserves to be treated like queens, just like they were treated by their parents.

Some boys says it’s because they make them angry… I mean really… angry? Who gives you the right to abuse her just because she made you angry. Who wants to be in a relationship where you get beaten over the stupidest things? Not me , I know that for sure I am no one’s punching bag!

Girls I leave you with this quote: “ look at the way a boy treats it’s mother, because that is the way you are going to be treated like.”

My next article/post will be for those heartbroken boys. We know how girls can dumb a boy and move on not worry about the ex.

Why do people lie?

Why do people lie?

If you ask me or I ask you why do people lie , you nor I will be able to give you a reasonable answer, because neither of us know.

I am not a big fan of lies because to me if I’m not worth the truth, why am I worth lies?

I think people lie because they are afraid that the truth might hurt the next person. I have another question for you, one that my English teacher once asked us: “Do you prefer to be comforted with a lie or hurt by the truth? ”. Many of us answered: “hurt by the truth” even I did, but that is not what we really want. Sometimes we can see the truth but we don’t want to accept it. Most of us even gives in quickly after we hear the: “I’m sorry” words. That’s the mistake we make.

 

I don’t know about you but I rather prefer the truth than lies. I am a huge fan of the word honesty , because honesty build trust.

What do you prefer?

Even we lie, I know I’ve lied to people before. I have learned my lesson after I was lied to. So every time I want to lie I think of that day when I was lied to and how I felt. You should do that to the next time you think about lying.

Learn to say thank you

We intend to forget to say thank you after receiving a gift or something from someone.

Many times in my life have I been even more thankful when I get a thank you back after giving someone something. What have you as a person got to lose only to say thank you… nothing. The other day I came across something, something that I will take to my grave. While I was standing in line to pay something at one of the shops till, I found a homeless man saying thank you five times for only receiving a R1. And I thought to myself some of us even doesn’t say thank you when we receive from our parents. I have learned in life whatever you have received from someone always say thank you, who knew maybe in the future you’ll need something but because  you didn’t say thank you that person might just feel like not giving or helping you out again.

Next time people say thank you it might feel unimportant to you but to them it might just put a smile on their faces.

New year's wishes

I don’t know if it’s right to call it new year traditions but every new year we make wishes or predictions on how we want this new year must be like, right?

 

I don’t know about you but the wish that I make at the beginning of the year I never get, because I don’t wish right. We all make wishes, wishes we all want to come true but I think most of our wishes that we make are unrealistic. Some of us wish to go on a date with their crush but then we don’t even make an effort for it to happen we leave it all up to the wish to make everything happen… see what I mean. We wish wrong. Instead of wishing for a date with your crush, wish for a conversation first. I don’t know how you wish or what you wish for, but next time make sure you wish for something realistic. Who knows it can become a reality sooner than you thought.
