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.

Welcome back

Welcome back

Well as you know I haven’t post a blog post in months now. I had a bit of life struggle but I am back for good. It was my readers, you that changed my mind of coming back again.

We are only humans some of us have learned the hard way in life some didn’t , but your day will come if not you are lucky.

Last time I check we all survived Judgement day lol, so let’s not waste our time here on earth. Let’s live like there are no tomorrow, or what do you say

Mindset

Mindset!

The key to success lies in your mind, you just have to learn how to open the doors.

What do we know about this? It might sound strange now, but it is really something one should take note of. Mindset lies within your mind. How you think of things, how you respond to things etc.

 Now I believe that you can make everything happen once you set your mind to it. Your mind is the most powerful thing, but don't forget about your tongue. We intend to think negative things because we don't believe in ourselves. I had someone told me the other day... he had already failed, so i told him you did fail yes but you just failed one part of your life the others are still waiting to be succeed! I don't know how I do it but I like to do things with a positive mindset! Makes me feel more in charge of something that I have no knowledge over. But yet I find myself doing the best that I can because I always promise myself not to let me down! I know its hard to get back to where you were. I have been there, probably going there again in life because nobody is perfect! What I want to leave with you today is everything is possible once you set ya mind to it! You alone can decide where you want to end up in this word.

He has just started his own Dj site where you can download his latest mixes

A new beginning !

Damn! I haven't posted anything in a long time now. If I can remember my last post was a month ago. Well the thing is I got distracted. Let me say i let things get into my mind , which normally never happens to me because I always have things under control. It once again shows us that in our lifetime life will hit us , but it doesn't matter how hard life it us... what matter is how well you rise after that.

News from my side to you... nothing much, I am just glad I have made my choice. For a few moments in my life I thought of just deactivating my blog but then a few people asked me how is the blog going I don't get any new notifications, then I realized that people actually care and reads it... which feels amazing.
Last night my heart was so touched by someone whom asked me to guide him through a rough situation. I was very surprised because I wasn't that close to this person. Although I knew a lot of things about him.I did my best motivating him. And he actually appreciated what I did, which got me thinking why stop with what I am doing when I can touch someone's heart by only simple words that I say. I always mean everything that I say and people learn a lot by it. So here i am again, back on track. If you feel alone I am here for you!

Success never stops !

The stories of  life will not always have happy endings. I came across something very interesting the other day. My one of my teachers said that she no longer need to be successful , because she already is. I then think to myself success does not end the day that you have reached your goal, because there will always be something new that you want to achieve. I also thought she is teaching us , don’t she wants to help us succeed and in order to do that she must succeed in the things that she teaches us every day.

Topics like this makes me think that in life there will be no last challenge , because every day you will have a new one. That is what makes life so interesting, you learn new things every day that you yourself never thought you are capable of  learning nor doing.

Challenge

We don’t know how hard a challenge going to be unless we take it on.

People intend to say that is too big of a challenge so and I am unable to do that. Wrong! No challenge is too big or too small for you not finish it or to make a success out of it. Lately I have been having a lot of doubs in myself. The one moment I think I can do it, the next I see myself failing. Mostly people have something to do with your confidence. They will always criticize you when you are doing something. People can make or break you, it only depens on how you handle the situation people put you in. Each one of us have our limits when it comes to life and challenges. We will continue till we think okay till here and not one step further. That is just simply how life is, very testing and very hard at the same time. With life you will never know what will happen next. Every day will be a challenge, but just remember always be better than the person that you was yesterday.

Be U N I Q U E

Tell me why do you want you be like someone else, when you can just be you?

I walk through life seeing people, mostly friends wear the same clothes. Then I would think to myself why would they want to wear the same stuff when they don’t have the same personality? You are unique there won’t be another person like you on this earth. Think of yourself as pool balls. They almost look the same but they are on the pool board for different reasons, just like you maybe look like your sister or someone in this world but you are in this world for a different reason that they are. Just like school you wear the same uniform, but it doesn’t mean you have to act the same. You are unique no one can look like you, have the dreams that you have, have the personality that you have at the same time.

Be who you want to be, don’t be like someone else because if God wanted you to be like someone else he would’ve gived you their looks and everything that they have.

FAKE faces

We all hide under a fake face.

We are too afraid of what people will say when they see who the real you are. Even I hide under a fake face. Being with my family I’m a way different person as I am with my friends. But why?

Let me tell you why… We are scared that others don’t want to accept us for who and what we really are! We hide, and be fake to the people we love because we don’t want to hurt them with the truth. We walk around with fake faces pretending to like certain people ,but we hate them inside. Why do we do that? We are to scared of what others might say about our opinion on something, now we wear fake faces to please others.

If I could I would never wear a fake face, this way no one will be surprised by the things I do and the person I become when I am mad. But I guess taking that fake face off is harder then just posting about it. I am not fake to everyone, mostly family. They can be so judgemental that’s why I love to hide my true colors from them. With my friends I feel comfortable, I can be myself act crazy as much as I want to.

Do you sometimes wear a fake mask like me???

That’s a question only you can answer.

Words and rumors has their way of bringing you down

Lately I haven’t posted any blog posts. I apologize for that, it’s never going to happen in the future.

The reason why I didn’t post on my blog is , I had problems of my own. How can I motivate you guys when I am not even feeling well inside. I am not a person that cry much, but the past week I have cried so many times that I couldn’t even see the white in my eyes. I just learned that rumors can bring you down. It’s hard to prove the truth once a rumor of you is spread out. I learned it the hard way. I mean with teenagers I can easily deal with a rumor, but what if your family knows about it first?

I care a lot about myself, and what people think of me. Non of the rumors that was spread about me was even true! I was so traumatized. I think to myself how can a person even say such things about people knowing it’s not the truth. But I guess jealousy makes you nasty neh! I don’t even have much haters, I’ve always been the one that likes to keep things to myself. I could keep things in for long, but this time I couldn’t hold it anymore. I actually prepared myself for that day to come, but I guess I wasn’t prepared well cause it knocked me down!

People I just want you guys to choose your friends wisely. Don’t let rumors get you down no matter how hard it knocked you!

Do what you believe is right !

I woke up this morning telling myself, Letta you must decide what you are going to do with your life. Time is slowly running out. Next year I must already know what I want and where I see myself in 10 years from now . I decided to draw myself a mind map. On this map I added pictures of where I see myself in 10 years. I know many of you will now think, how will a stupid mindmap help you succeed and help you decide on what you want to study, but let me tell you it helped me. I now know what I want in life, where I want to go study, what my grades must look like. I also google a few stuff on what I want to study .When I told my mom what I want to study, she wasn’t that much supportive because I’ve always told her that I wanted to be an doctor . I realized becoming a doctor isn’t really my thing, computers are. People I love my mom but I must do the thing that makes me happy , and working with computers makes me happy. If deciding on what you want to do when you grow up, think of things that makes you happy. People will always try to bring you down, just because they don’t like doing it they will let you believe it’s not your thing either.

Believe in the things that make you happy and not the things that makes other people happy.

The YOLO- Word !

The big word everyone is trying to live by. If someone did something bad, and you ask them why did you do it they would reply with: ‘ YOU ONLY LIVE ONCE’. I mean really, is that your big excuse????

Let me tell you something about the YOLO-word , it sucks !. It should never had brought in. Everyone is using it for the wrong reason, they don’t know the real meaning of it. Yes, you only live once but it doesn’t mean you must over do it and do things that don’t suit your personality. The YOLO-word can trick people into a lot of crazy stuff. You still have a long life to live for , don’t live it up and the next day you don’t want to be seen in public. I say take it easy there is a time and place for everything in this life. No matter how old ,how young you are you will get to do the things that you really want. Just stay safe and enjoy  every moment of this life.

People that don’t want you in their life, is not worth your company.

People let’s face reality now if your not good enough to walk with them in public , they are not worth your company. We always think that being behind someone’s back with a person while that person is dating someone else , it’s cool. It’s not like they will leave their partners to be with you. You are only there on the sideline and when their partners finds out they ask you to deny it. You are only cheap when you keep on playing the game with them. They can’t get what they want by their partners so they try it with you, and you are dumb enough to fall for it. But that is just one of the silly things we would do for love , even if it’s lending love by someone else. You intend hang on hoping they will take you at the end of the day. What they have with you is only for pleasure, nothing else.

If you know the person has a partner why even consider helping them to be unfaithful towards their partner! If you think it’s cool and awesome. Let me tell you what I think about people like that: they are cheap!

yeah letta tells it like it is !

Start small

We all think that we can become nothing because we don't always have the money. That is where we make our mistakes! Life is not all about money, yes money plays a big role in this life but not as big as happiness.

When your in school you do good in a subject if you like it , right?... Now that is your key to success by doing the thinks that makes you happy and not the things that makes others happy. Get a clear idea of what matters to you and ignore the negative voices. Fight and keep fighting for what you want in life !

Once you have set your mind to something, don't take it off it. It starts today! Take a few seconds and make yourself a mind map where you picture yourself in 5 years time, keep it close everyday and work towards it ! Trust me it will keep you motivated , even if you fail !
