THE ART OF WAR: SM MASEKO

 Eventually you will have to fight. life is all about war, the things you have accomplished today are as a result of your victories of some war. you fought your way out of your mother`s womb you have somehow written a test, you went for an interview, the list goes on and on eventually leading towards your victories. a good fight is determined by the number of changes you have brought in to the broader spectrum of the community  obviously the changes have to be good.  if you spill blood for you to have a meal or have a nice car to drive and a nice house to live in   you are not participating in a war a war of life but you are showing how vulnerable you have become that you do not believe in your own strength to a point were you invite evil powers to cheat the system and fight for you.  

The big interview

    The is nothing as nerve wrecking like a job interview, you are required to prepare possible questions while at it you must figure out how to answer those questions by yourself, there are lot of dos and don’ts involved but the truth of the matter is that the is no right or wrong answer during a job interview session. Interviews are meant to assess the potential of a candidate and to check their knowledge about a particular field of work or responsibility. I was invited for a job interview in a certain company for a position of an Editorial Specialist and the questions that where asked during that interview were way different from what I have previously prepared. I was expecting something like “tell us about yourself, what are your strengths and weaknesses” but things went south and at this point I was frustrated because my preparations have been blown out. I had to stand on my toes and come up with a contingency plan to cover up for the blown plan, I completely ...

Where we come from .

Where we come from there's only one definition of success.   Your successful when you own a car and a personal home. But life doesn't always work like that .  Each person should have his own definition of success.   To me success is constant cashflows with growth. That's what matters to me.  I can get R500k first thing I think about is how do I turn that R500k to R2 million or how can I make atleast R50k a month from that R500k.  I would not buy a personal home with R500k unless I already have consistent cashflows.  You can use the R500K to start a business that can make you R50k a month or R20k a month use that R20k to save up to build your house.  Think about it. Motsepe is a billionaire but still goes around borrowing money.  Why? Why not use his own money and dry up his bank account? Because he understands that cashflow is leverage.  Your father dies . Leaves you with R1 million . You use that R1 million to build a house. A year...

Creative Thinking.

Formal Creative Thinking Of course it is possible to think creatively all the time. There are some people who simply fizz with new ideas and seem to see everything slightly differently from those around them. These are the people who are always asking ‘ Why? ’, and ‘ Why not? ’. They are natural problem-solvers and innovators. However, for most people, creative thinking requires more effort. They prefer to save their creative thinking for when it is really necessary. Typical examples of times when you might take the time to use creative thinking techniques include: When you are facing a major problem or issue , and you cannot see an obvious way forward. At times of change , when it is hard to see what might lie ahead, and you want to think about possible scenarios. When there is   a lot of disagreement  about what needs to happen next, and no compromise seems possible without a lot of effort. When you need something new , that hasn’t been tried before, but you are not sure wha...

Cowardice moves helps sometimes

Don't spend much time in the battlefield because you will exhaust your resources and be clumsy, fight then leave while you still have energy. There's an attack I call "lightning and thunder attack" it happens within a twinkling of an eye but makes a huge impact you never know where it comes from but when it attacks you hear the sound of a thunder that a lightning has struck. When one adopts this form of fights they increase their possibilities of winning in life most people stay much longer in their battlefield when they see that they are dominating and are in control of the situation but that is not good at all because you give the enemy enough time to study your moves and use them against you. Chapter one Take what you have and fight with it. Ever heard of David and Goliath story?, it is not about the amount of ammunition you have but the courage and capacity to go to the battle ground trusting what you have. Most often in times the enemy has a tendency of ...

The question of KARMA

Before God the creator could form a person he firstly founded a suitable place for him to stay putting into consideration everything that a men will need, that is why everything you see is for the benefit of men, the trees, rivers, animals and a whole lot of things that we can and cannot see was created to form comfort in the dwelling of men. Everything that might or will try to course discomfort into the lives of men God has already spoken to mother nature that what ever that is not balanced must be balance in the name of karma, this meaning that men are not to seek for vengeance because it is already in the system of mother nature, but for some reason if a man is eager to get revenge he also will be punished for doing that which is outside of his jurisdiction. On earth everything is available and ready what humans do is to just activate, when you pray God know already what you will say but he can't activate that which you don't want thus we have to pray without ceasing t...
